Just as an aside, I hope Jack McDevitt is really getting motherfucking PAID for how they gutted his book for this movie. Just based on the synopsis and marketing materials of the movie, maybe they are hiding that it is a smart political space based thriller for the movie’s main release?
I always figured it would be the Japanese that would find it first.
The Super Stupor webcomic has got you covered here:
I mean, that is probably how they have survived to be(e) around for hundreds of thousands of years.
Russia reminding us that we depend on super vulnerable satellites faaaaar more than they do, worked. We’ve come back to the table and started having to work with everyone else. Good. It shouldn’t have taken Russia reminding us of this to make us do so. All our smart weaponary means diddly if the satellites keeping our…
The Death of Stalin.
That accusation is a bit ruff, don’t you think?
It is less about cleaning up the ocean, and more about drawing attention to the issue of marine plastic pollution, plastic overuse, and keeping the issue in the public mind to spur prevention. Yes, it is a total PR stunt, but we need PR stunts. If we’re pouring scorn over stunts which are just to draw attention to the…
I think we should talk about how your toxoplasmosis infection is causing you to make such a passionate defense of the animals first. That seems more pressing than my issues.

Vegetarian groups will be up in arms over this, they’ve been transporting Lone Star ticks around the country to try and spread them because their bite carries a disease that causes an allergy to red meat. Basically trying to force people into involuntary vegetarianism. Fuck those guys, and why have they not been…
It isn’t idiotic, it is a deliberate threat. America and the global west are highly dependant, not just militarily but socially too, on all our orbital toys. Russia (and China) are not. The threat is that we either wind our necks back in and step off, or they’ll take all those toys away from us. This is what happens…
If Rian Johnson hadn’t smashed the franchise into a ditch...
Yeah, but at least half of them think that person is called Elon Musk.
As long as they don’t make the same mistake as they made in Shang Chi and have long scenes of non English dialogue, then I’m fine with this. I swear I never pressed the skip button on a Disney Marvel Movie as much as I did with Shang Chi, I’m glad I didn’t see it at the theater, that would have been a total rip. Just…
As a culture, we are too damn casual about gun usage. Start treating guns as serious business again, please.
