Is there an alternate earth where Tony Stark is not a douchebag?

Oh, this is a simple one

Now you have a name for that particular type of mind-rot

Yeah he's definitely all over the place. The thing I was referring to were excerpts from several letters (the provenance of which I can't totally substantiate) where he basically said, sure be gay- damage from being gay comes from society's disapproval not the actual act.

And the Worthing Saga got a little weird

Heinlin was always into anarchism, incest and ephebophilia. He just stopped caring about concealing it as he aged.

Needs more Flight of the Valkyries

oh hey look, a time travel movie full of causality problems

Great, now there are going to be export controls put on video game controllers

lol because they are. Ever hear of Rep. Andrew J May?

I can: middle school forever

Probably wouldnt be all that helpful for most scuba, given oxygen toxicity concerns. Interesting implications for emergency O2 cylinders though

So why doesn't i09 do updates/follow Black Sails? It's a pretty legit show.
