Slightly ironic since Obama and his posse are criticizing Warren’s plans for not being perfect.

And how does it allocate resources to the most profitable ventures. Capital flows to where profits are maximized (if we are going to go back to undergrad econ 101). Where are profits maximized? Where the most money is extracted from consumers and labor is paid the least.

Especially when, in places like Milwaukee, people who had every intention of voting and wanted to vote couldn’t because of unconstitutional voter ID laws passed by state legislatures gerrymandered into everlasting power.

I am really, really special. I don’t need other scientists to tell me this.

I am by no means an expert in the field so I will leave it to those more well versed on the topic to break down the details for you. But, in my mind, discovering that life formed on another planet would be a huge step in understanding how widespread life could be in our galaxy. At this point we have only one example,…

This right here. That show survived on aesthetic alone (Plus I enjoyed the Fawn/High class Lady story line).  The main narrative was was just so plodding. 

It seems like common sense to not have to say this, but here goes anyway:

Every single person that had something to say about the original design needs to get their ass to a theater and see the movie. I can’t think of another time where a movie studio immediately listened to the audience and backtracked this publicly…

io9 is a faint shadow of its former self.
