He definitely could have done better with this; the focus on her being a mother is... weird. But I agree with him that Hillary’s tenacity is one of her best virtues. She ignores all the bullshit, calmly works through the problems with data and reason, and just straight-up gets things done. I personally wouldn’t have…

I really like the dotted line Alderaan and Krypton.

Yes, he did. The live coverage showed him skipping the spin room and driving away, then cut back to Hillary shaking hands.

I have very confused feelings about Megyn Kelly. Sometimes I’m like, “stop making me love you!” and then she’s like, “Santa is white; Jeb Bush can’t be racist because he married a Mexican; that black teenage girl at the pool party was no saint,” and then I’m like, “OK, yeah, that’s rough, but what you said earlier was…

Definitely not Curiosity. But Opportunity is right around the corner. Maybe he could limp over there.

Haha. What IS this?

Nothing substantive to add here, you totally nailed it. She was glorious, intelligent, masterful... everything. It was so satisfying to watch her take him apart, and watch him lash out as he realized how powerless he was to stop it.

And then he slinked (slunk?) off to his SUV and drove off while she was making the rounds, smiling and shaking hands.

Aha! On the NetBus page was the one I was thinking of: Back Orifice.

I definitely remember the malware you’re talking about, but I cannot remember the name either. It was “rear access” or “backdoor entrance” or something in that (classy) vein that I’m unable to search for as I’m on my work computer.

I promise I’m not one of those grumper-pants who hates remakes on principal, but hundreds (maybe thousands) of listenings to Tim Curry’s version has trained my brain to expect his fluorishes (“...little brought dow-uhn...,” “... show you arown-duh...,” “transssssexual,” etc.). The lack of those made this fall flat for…

I think I remember a little bit of... upper? lower?.... BASE of Dornan Dong visible as he pulls on his pants in one of the scenes...

I think he finally realized that he’s been too-publicly wrong on this to just ignore it; he even hinted at that in his last interview. He wants to defuse things, and his strategy is to have his PR team do this release today, then address it dismissively in future interviews and the debates, a’la:

Pretty sure it was sarcasm. And maybe also a weak pun...

(sheepishly starts to raise hand - looks around - puts it back down)

Musk did say on Twitter that astronauts would have “been fine” due to the Dragon’s launch escape system.

Totally agree. No real data on this, but judging from my Facebook, plenty of Republican voters agree with his policies (or rather, what they believe his policies are, since he hasn’t enlightened anyone yet) but are uncomfortable with the obviousness of his bigotry and (rightly) think his temperament is unfitting for…
