I’m sure this girl is awful in a lot of ways, and I’m definitely not going to watch any of her stuff, but saying that you “bring nothing to the table” and are useless to for work is really sad. 21 is awfully young to essentially just give up on yourself.

Ha! I think the same thing. History has been repeating itself for hundreds of years. Not always in the spectacular fashion of the French and Russian Revolutions, but empire rise up, a few get rich and then are torn down.

Dear lord...

Dante’s “Inferno” works on the same premise. The violent are punished less severely than treacherous. The belief was violent temporarily lost control of their human faculties when they committed crimes, whereas the treacherous exploited their human faculties to crime it up.

I’ve got a replica guillotine in my back yard just itching to be broken in. 

The Bioware story is so weird to me, because my brother worked for them years and years ago, and loved his job, and was heartbroken when they laid him off just before EA bought the company.

This.

Children?

I won’t lie, when I hear about the French Revolution, and all the nobles killed during the Reign of Terror, I think, “Man what a world we’d live in, if the wealthy lived with THAT kind of mortal terror hanging over them.”  If society rose up against the rich, I’d happily join in the mayhem.

Normally my bleeding heart would say no jail time for non-violent offenders and children shouldn’t have to pay for their parent’s mistakes, but...

Now she’s going to have to settle for Vassar.

“The other two, whose families contributed a total of $270,000, failed to complete their applications and never ended up enrolling.”

wait they spent a quarter milly and DIDNT SEND IN THE APPLICATION?!

What annoys me is the guys working on cultured meat won’t even take my phone calls.

The human prions—notably the ones responsible for Kuru and Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease—hang out almost entirely in central nervous system tissue. Stick to cooked muscle meat and they won’t be a big issue.

Also my takeaway

Didnt Zoe Saldana’s husband take her last name? Why does the article still use his pre-marital name? Is this a case of a dude trying to do something that doesn’t confirm to the patriarchy’s requirements and society just going, nah, we’re gonna pretend like that never happened?

I really want to make a ‘get back in the kitchen and cook up our neighbors like a good little lady’ joke, but I’m not sure how well it would be received. So wording it like this absolves me of any responsibility if it doesn’t go well, right? 

you have too much of this info at your fadingertips.
