No, I get that, and clearly I’m not their target audience, but that’s kind of the point, I think if their target is non-GOP voters, I think they’re missing the mark. Seems like you’d put them up somewhere that would net you opposition ballots rather than your own.

Fresno and Orange county are solid red counties, which is interesting, given that they were likely to get caught and their message seems most likely to net Republican voters. Seems like this was most likely to have a negative effect on Republican votes, but perhaps there’s an angle I’m missing here. Maybe they’re…

The collateral does suck. But I simply can’t get worked up about stupid people dying because they make stupid decisions and won’t listen. I can’t help but agree with him a little bit, a disease that seems to propagate on a Dunning-Kruger line, wow, I feel like that’s a win over the long term.
It’s not like we’re out…

Republicans can’t win if we all get to vote, simple as that, and they know it. Engaging in semantics and equivocation is the natural result of that.

Al Ewing has been amazing on Immortal Hulk, I’m not sure how they would or could really bring his stuff to the MCU, but as for the comics, it’s great. It’s such a great tone and concept for Hulk.

I’ve been waiting for the rest of my brain to get on the moral high ground about this and tell the petty, angry part of my brain that it’s wrong, but that’s just not happening. It might be rational brain’s secret fantasy that some disease would come along and wipe out some of these hateful pricks (I’m almost sure it…

I liked how it exposed some of the flaws in the Culture’s approach to diplomacy and intervention. It was in many ways the exploration of the Culture’s own cognitive bias.

He’s a hateful shitheel that’s not worth engaging, just hope for him to walk into traffic and call it a day.

Matter is amazing, I think I enjoyed Use of Weapons the most. I didn’t think any of them were bad though, I had fun with all of them.

I’m still vaguely ashamed I read that book, he got me on the fucking Tomb of Horrors nostalgia hook, fucker.

I haven’t read it yet, but it’s Gibson, and for fuck’s sake, at least it’s new sci-fi.
Can we get some Old Man’s War now? Maybe get Consider Phlebas moving? Or get really whacky and try to adapt the Ancillary series?

Transparency dramatically improves institutional trust in general and should be leveraged wherever and whenever possible.

She’s from a Catholic cult who believes that a woman’s role is that of subservience only. Can we just stop calling her a feminist? She’s not, she never has been, she has no interest in advocating for women in any way, shape or form.

As long as those in power can continue to collect a percentage from ignoring it, nothing will change.

Lakers/Celtics would be some 2020 shit after the Heat/Nuggets teaser.

Well shit, if life begins at conception we should be able to just pluck it out of the uterus and send it on its way right? Otherwise it would be a parasite, unable to exist outside the host body, wouldn’t it?

Apple doesn’t take 30% of every book I buy for Kindle.

But apparently the rules are different…

On the one hand, I look forward to these fuckwits getting infected and hopefully dying, on the other hand, I’m sad that we’ll have to allocate respirators to them at some point in the process most likely. Maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll just pound colloidal silver until they’re blue in the face.

This book was really good, but it was so close to what you could see happening to our world right now I just couldn’t read the second one, it’s still sitting on my shelf. Glad it’s getting the recognition it deserves.

I really would like to see some more post-scarcity sci-fi adaptation that really embraces transhumanism. Asher’s Polity books, Banks’ Culture books (hopefully coming to Amazon), Yoon Ha Lee’s Machineries of Empire series. The idea that we’re going to be interstellar Americans, interstellar Chinese, or interstellar…
