The Secret of Roan Inish - Irish movie starring Gabriel Byrne, about a baby boy drifting out to sea in his little baby coracle, and legends about one side of the family’s history - it’s a modern fairytale featuring a young (10/12sh) girl with brains and pluck who’s determined to find her baby brother.

Everyone should…

is it bad I laughed when George hits his head?

Me too. Especially when I was younger, the idea of just...changing into a skin to obtain so much freedom was so alluring. It took years before it dawned on me how deeply messed up a lot of the tales actually were.

Getting rid of environmental regulations to save coal jobs is like getting rid of animal abuse laws to save the horse and buggy industry when cars were invented.

I feel like I have to say, “Because he’s a fox, duh.” But I realize that doesn’t actually answer your question.

This is all part and parcel with Session’s virulent opposition to nonwhite-immigration. He has been unabashed about his desire to return the United States to the era of the national quota systems, where immigration was tightly restricted to only northern and western Europe. He also is a strong pusher of the…

Technically, humans are made of meat.

mine mostly just hangs off doors and meows to be let in....then she’ll hang off the other side and meow to be let out....

I think brown paper towels were created as a gag.

I marvel how they become instantly soggy and at the same time repel water.

What? We actually *were* all thirsty for twenty years. I used to have waking dreams of elaborate water delivery systems that could save me from death while I withered in math class. Every single day, to distraction. Of all things to complain about as emblems of our idiocy, this seems like the worst choice.

Uh, good points, but not enough emphasis on “non-desert.” Where I live (6000 feet altitude, humidity commonly at or below 30%) dehydration combined with altitude sickness can arrive so close after your sense of being thirsty that your thinking is muddled before you it sinks in that you need water. Especially with…

I remember being thirsty *all the time* as a kid. The teacher would line us up at the water fountain and chant “1 2 3 that’s enough for me” and it was NEVER ENOUGH. Also “leave some for the fishes”, fuck the fishes, I’m thirsty!

Before Ryan was elected, I remember a couple of the news talking heads suggesting Newt Gingrich might be able to get the votes (coupled with a reminder that the Speaker doesn’t have to be a House member). Kevin McCarthy was in the running until he admitted Benghazi was a political witch hunt, but he’s so crazy he…

Trump isn’t throwing shade. He’s openly throwing Ryan under a bus.

I wish my life offered me more opportunities to wear capes.

Guys, guys, listen, you have to go do a google image search of Samira Whiley and Lauren Morelli. They have the most amazing and unique fashion sense and wardrobes to make that sense proud.

everything is better with a cape.

I’m firmly in Camp “it’s creepy.” Just listen to how it says “...all of your shapessss.” But who am I to talk. I’m the one home on a Saturday night painting his little butt cheeks.

This probably belongs on Kotaku, but whatever- they don’t host a social. I’m a huge Mass Effect fan and was really looking forward to Andromeda. I’m now about five hours into it... and I don’t think I like it. I’m crushed. The user interface is awful, the character animation is crap, and the non-humanoid alien races…
