I am willing to condemn those writers. I'll start with J.G. Ballard, who was a war profiteer for recounting his childhood in a prison camp. Utterly contemptible since he never payed royalties to the country of China or Japan who made his stories possible.

Robert Reed for The Remoras, Nancy Kress for Margin of Error, Terry Bisson for The Hole in the Hole, William Sanders for Going After Old Man Alabama, and Mike Resnick for Seven Views of Olduvai Gorge.

The Year's Best Science Fiction 1994 from St. Martin's Press. Found it in the back of my closet and I only read it once when it was new. Some stories I remembered, most I didn't. I'm making note of the authors I like so I can read their other works and see what they came up with over the past 20 years.

I thought the anti magic tranny outcry was specifically because it impedes on the territory of Magical Negros and Magical Savages.

Poor Hoffman ended up drawing the Black Queen when he just wanted to be an Ace.

They've no doubt experimented. But at their age, even Viagra struggles at the best of times and their perverse kinks are more likely to be incompatible with each other. That kind of love can't flourish when faced with chronic limpness, so they settle for selfies.

You're more of a gamer than me. I do fine in Dark Souls, but Dwarf Fortress? I was left confused and frustrated. Nethack? I once almost made it through Sokoban. There's older, more difficult games that deserve far more pride in being able to grapple with than Dark Souls.

One wonders if Jodie Sweetin and the Olsen Twins got strung out together. It'd be a waste opportunity to bond if they abused drugs separately.

I think he meant, "Scribble Double Plus Pleasant."

The flashless version will make me so happy since it got to the point half the games ended in transition screen crashes.

Invisible Monsters was Palahniuk's lashing out at his fellow queers selling out to become women.

I'm excited to see how our nation's teen tantrums fair against China's Little Emperors. I don't know if I'd be embarrassed or proud if we can out-tizzy them.

They sound the same, so they should lead to the same website…

I frown on addictions when they infringe on my ability to sleep (drunk neighbors) or motivates the users to steal my stuff to fund their habit (Magic: the Gathering).

Being suicidal is how you thwart death. God doesn't want to deal with the needy.

The prudes these days don't even show you uteral massages from the inside. Why do they think tiny cameras were invented?!

@quix0te There's also the homosexual practice in orgies where a eager bottom is pumped full of semen by all the other participants and then lays an "egg" in a lucky fellow's face.  Card was definitely inspired by that when inventing the Formics.Next you'll be claiming the Piggies' vivisection wasn't alluding to…

@avclub-5751693536add9cb4b813590b0fedbf9:disqus Wyoming is real.  Everything outside Yellowstone are carefully controlled city states divvied up between competing Oil Companies, government enclaves, and various medical experimental labs.  Elaborate crossbreeding is popular since if they escape, the inhospitable…

I thought you were referencing Gozu.

Reader's Digest blocked the movie from using Joe, since the whole gimmick came from the publication in the first place.  Thus the switch to Jack.
