The whole interview is up on the Economist. It’s a shitshow.

“Watch them start to choke like dogs.”’

Agree. If there were some malevolent intelligence behind the xenomorphs they’d be much more compelling. There are hints of that (ex. the end of Aliens where the Queen understands that Ripley can toast the eggs), but I think writers are missing a real opportunity to play around with a strange, hostile intelligence as…

My mom voted for a hateful misogynist with a bad spray tan.

‘Szala describes that economic argument as “dehumanizing....”’

This is RAGE inducing. Can’t...even...typekajdkfjasdfa.

What’s the point of having “values” if they don’t guide your actions?

“Literally on the same site you have the lab workers, who were dealing with larger amounts of radium. They are wearing lead aprons, they are using ivory-tipped tongs to handle the radium, they are given enforced holidays so that they have to take a vacation every now and again so that they’re not exposed to the radium…

This conviction came REALLY QUICKLY. Like, the incident occurred in January, and we already have a jury verdict. Hopefully their lawyers can get this overturned on some post-trial motion. Barring that, the judge can assign some lesser sentence, like probation.

Fuck Anna Wintour (in this instance).
