Yep. I’m still holding out for an edutainment/docudrama mystery show
that takes a truly realistic, scientific and skeptical approach while still prioritizing entertainment value; high-quality re-enactments of, for example, Harry Houdini’s dramatic exposes of “spiritualist” trickery during the 1920s, or a…

Lol, probably. I just get touchy when people act like fellow Southern Californians are “out of touch” when we grew up like this and its normal to us. It’s not our fault we have access to awesome food and set a lot of food trends.

Yes, I had arguments with people who thought “scientists will be doing this really soon” (they’re not) after the book came out and then again after the film. I’m trained as an evolutionary ecologist and my wife is a professor of molecular evolutionary genetics, yet people were CERTAIN we didn’t understand the…

As a local, fourth-generation L.A. girl myself, she’s eating what we consider normal food and that’s relatively cheap to get out here. Outside of the chilies, you find all that for pretty cheap at your local Trader Joes. And the chilies would be that little treat you’d get for yourself at your local specialty store…

So, a known kiddie fiddler was elected mayor.

I had hyperemesis gravidarum. Felt fine until Week 7, but from then until the end of my fourth month it felt like having a terrible stomach flu all day and night, EVERY day and night. The nausea only ever went away for about ten minutes after each time I threw up, and then it came roaring back. I had IV hydrations,…

I feel for her, because she is clearly not politically correct—which in this context is a compliment—but the downfall of telling the unvarnished truth is a lack of diplomacy. Diplomacy exists for the sole reason of getting disagreeable people to agree on things. Brand ambassadors are named that for a reason. And in…

I was thinking funky town...

We are the champions!

Near Charleston SC, under thick cloud cover. Totality pic is 10k ISO to resolve it so theyre a bit noisy but what a show!

I’m guessing that giant crossbow will come into play again with some great big obsidian spikes.

my grandma still douches and she’s 93. i only know cuz she makes me run to the store to go pick up her feminine hygiene products, denture creams, leggs pantyhose, condoms, and analgesics.

Frankly, I’d rather be married to/having an affair with Christoph Waltz than this DeHaan fellow.

Peter Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn, told this story in his obituary of Lee:

Though it night be a bit much to live with him.

“Special Bulletin” came out around the same time as The Day After (1983) and chilled me to the core. It’s a TV movie about a group of terrorists that take the city of Charleston, SC hostage with a home made nuke. The climax is abrupt and about as real as they get in terms of how something like that might go down. A…

I immediately think about “Special Bulletin” (A Made-for-TV movie - about the same time as “The Day After”).
