Funny timing on this article, just the other day I was thinking of writing a post myself on another forum about how since I began to commit to my cycling commutes, I have sincerely noticed a difference in my perception of the city I live in. I already knew it well, but the distinct difference between cycling and…

Don’t skip the opening credits. It’s brilliant.

Temperature increased to -32C, not -78C. Just FYI

It really does seem like a fundamental failure of basic business strategy. Businesses everywhere know that sometimes you do things that don’t make money or even cost money in order to bring more value to your brand as a whole. Costco sells their hot dog combo and rotisserie chickens at a loss because they know it…

The fact that Prodigy was yanked so quickly implies to me that a deal with another streamer is imminent, or at least very likely. There’s also the fact that the Blu-Ray sold out in 24 hours and the show is still at the top of the charts in the Apple Store.

Streaming is effectively recreating the world that existed before home video, where you’d come across some show or movie on TV and never be able to see it again. We’re going backwards. 

It seems to be a toss up right now. It did ok at the box office, but it got steamrolled by The Super Mario Bros Movie. However, it was very well received by critics and audience, and lauded by fans, so it could have legs in streaming. Also, while Wizards are being very greedy and incompetent with it, they clearly want…

I’m probably in the minority, but I am looking forward to this way more than Avatar 2 - the liquid boogaloo

It was accidentally streaming for about 12 hours there about a month ago!

It’s not the “big o”, but the ‘big boob’ on the front page of the site :) What is fine for women’s lib is considered harassment by HR!

Well, you’re half-right, all birds are in fact dinosaurs. They’re the “avian dinosaurs,” whereas the extinct ones are all“non-avian dinosaurs.” (Some avian dinosaurs are extinct, but there are no living non-avian dinosaurs. To be clear.) This is because creatures that evolved from a category are still, usually,…

I left Facebook in January of this year, and I cannot recommend leaving Facebook enough. I am SO GLAD I am not witnessing whatever dumpster fire is going on over there. Just reading the news is demoralizing enough right now. 

I deleted Facebook about 5ish years ago. The only value it had was easy access to family and friend pics, and frankly that just wasn't worth the downside of the constant onslaught of shit flowing out of it. It wasn't even the blatantly racist, transphobic things like this... Just an endless barrage of annoying and…

“She was asking for it, look at the way she was dressed.” - You, probably.

Have you listened to The History of Rome podcast? It ran for 5 glorious years, and I am scooping all of them up, currently halfway through year two.

Bigotry against gay people would be wrong even if sexual orientations were freely chosen.

worry that the study will fuel even more anti-gay rhetoric

The whole supposed “left wing” motivation was absurd from the start.  As if he murdered 9 people to support Elizabeth Warren’s health care plan. 

I don’t think there is a single way to “crack that nut” so to speak. It’s a lot of work that needs to be done all around.

Where I live, there used to be a policy of new housing developments always including a number of Section 8/low-income housing units (20-30%). It led to greater integration. I don’t know if it’s the answer, but it seemed to help. These days, new McMansion housing developments are going up everywhere as white flight has…
