You should try the Culture series by Iain M Banks. Entire “ships” held together by nothing but powerful force fields, capable of re-arranging themselves internally on a whim while carrying hundreds of millions of passengers.

I remember being so excited at the end of X2...and then Last Stand happened. It was Phantom Menace all over again.

Remember at the end of X2 when Jean had firebird-induced flashes of power; and when the light of the bird was in the lake at the end; and when Prof. X smiled hopefully, implying he knew she was alive and well? And remember how in X3 ALL THAT WAS FORGOTTEN in exchange for an evil possessed Jean?

THANK YOU! I kept thinking about Desiree last night. This felt way way way more brutal than Brooks leaving tho? 

This post cleared my acne, soothed my heartburn & rocked my baby to sleep.

I know everyone is looking forward to the big moments, but I’m looking for the small ones. Jorah (Mormont) the Andal coming home and meeting up with his little beargirl cousin who sits as the leader of the house he abandoned. Gendry meeting up with Arya again. Tyrion meeting his brother again for what will likely be…

Look at what Scott Walker did when he busted the unions in Wisconsin. He bolstered the police and fire unions while he worked to bust the rest. That was no accident. He divided and conquered, pitting the conservative police and fire unions against the more liberal other unions. It worked for several years. He even…

Thank you because this is important. 

Ohthankgodfinally!! It’s been so long. This shit is the straight up freebase cocaine of prestige television. I want to just plug it directly into my central nervous system. 

Yeah. I expect Gendry to reforge Ice from Oathkeeper and Widow’s Wale to give us Lightbringer.

Hey and for the record, declaring love to someone while you’re still on the show, getting rejected and then settling for whoever’s left is called pulling a Desiree.  Pulling an Arie, or, in oldtimey parlance, a Jason, is when you change your mind and go for the runner-up after you’re already proposed to the winner.

Oh man it sounds so good! As a 90s kid, I am going to be grinning.

Also, I NEVER once thought of Daria as a feminist influence, but she obviously is! Never thought of it that way.

If I shot a child to death on the job, the last thing I’d be trying to do is get my job back. I wouldn’t even want to see a gun.

This is why Black women are tired. Thank you to this tireless Black woman and her two children to witness and try to correct the wrongs with a right. *Queues “This Woman’s Work”. 

Okay, it’s the police union’s job to defend its union members, but c’mon! Draw the line somewhere on the other side of defending a child killer’s job!

Well said.

There’s also the fact that the Academy already provides DVD screeners to its voting members. Why not? It’s certainly cheaper than having to rent out enough movie theaters for every movie for every member in however many cities/states/countries they may be in.

The simple fact is this: in a world where the majority of people experience movies on television (or computers, or tablets, or phones), there is very little distinction between a movie made for theatrical distribution and one made for streaming. And that increasingly extends to serials as well. I have not seen Ready…
