If it went past Titan, and then to Uranus, it could be called the Titan Uranus probe.

Actually I’m fairly confident it technically predates emoji, as I used the Special Characters palette for years, and methinks it was the same keystroke to open it back then.

You can curate all sorts of works. I feel like ‘editor’ would imply proofing and suggesting revisions of the text, a role that was likely already performed on these pieces by another person working under the title of editor. Curation just implies selection, which is what LeGuin did with these collections.

It’s not even an Automan.

You sir, can leave. Your humorless self shant be missed.

Rebuttal:

We can cry together.

Nah, in the real world something of this level isn’t a minefield. It’s just a kid’s costume for halloween and they’re going to have fun with it. That’s all it is. If a child shows up at your door for candy dressed up like this, what is your reaction going to be? I’m very curious about this.

It is a way to give “cosplaying” children Maui’s tattoos without printing those water-based things on your children from neck to waist and all down the arms. If it were too light-colored (to match other skin-tones) you’d be offended. If it was just the leaf-toga then little boys’ wouldn’t’ve wanted it because the…

Thanks for the great article. I saw the original Star Wars as a teenager in 1977 before there was even an inkling of a sequel, let alone a prequel, in any ones mind. It was a stand alone film and my point isn’t to emphasize my age but that how I viewed that original film is pretty much how any film in this franchise…

Picard is one of the most tortured characters in all of Trek. He lives life knowing he was responsible for the death of thousands at the hands of the Borg. He has played games for existence with Q not knowing if Q will suddenly change his mind and destroy everything on a whim. He was tortured by the Cardassians past…

The message on the Lego plaque...

If someone passes you on the right, they’re an asshole. If everyone passes you on the right, you’re the asshole.

Janeway will always be my favorite captain. There. I’m out of that particular closet, now. Get me some goddamned coffee.

They must have ingested copious amounts of the candied gummy rings, because their symptoms were indicative of marijuana poisoning.

So sad that such a prolific author is so poorly adapted in modern cinema. Asimov created a rich universe - so many stories, novels and series; all set in the same continuity.

I thought it was pretty strange when I first heard it. Of course Takei is a well-known gay activist, but Trek is also pretty well-known for avoiding LGBT issues (at least in the main series), and Generations confirmed that the character had at least one heterosexual relationship and had a daughter.

For starters, I am very excited for this... however... I look at Alien two ways. One, as a long story/canon, makes 3 and 4 rough films to watch. Tonally they are out of place from the first two and yeah, killing two beloved characters is a pretty brutal thing to do, however, it’s a brutal series.

“Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real ‘wow, that’s big’, time. Infinity is just so big that by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort…
