Naw, there’s a scholarly consensus that there was a person named Jesus who led a messianic Jewish sect in Roman Judea. A bunch of texts would have to be corrupted in very unusual ways for there not to be a historical figure, most notably the casual reference by Josephus to “the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ,…

What exactly is your point here? Rich’s description of what happened with Gawker is accurate—I don’t think he’s saying “Gawker would have won the case if only the aggrieved party had been destitute and more powerless,” but Gawker would still exist (notwithstanding they did something arguably actionable) if a…

I’m tired of that excuse. GRRM wrote what he wanted, because he wanted to. There are a million ways to show that a fictional universe is harsh and cruel besides only brutalizing women. 

The experience of discovering something new was a lot of fun, and the technology of the 80s and 90s is part of that experience for me. And I don’t think my first time watching 2001 was bad just because outer space was a washed-out navy-blue and the score warbled all over the place.
