How does something so bad, with only about two dozen fans, continue to spark new merchandise?

You can determine whether you believe an author's perspective is interesting or valid /after/ reading it. You know, by reading the content and judging it's merit and character.

But I'd bet this is what most readers do. I'd bet you if we could somehow magically collect this data, we'de find that typically readers are not interested in what the author is like until after they've decided they like one of their books.

I never judge a book by its author either. Unless it's Nicholas Sparks. Fuck that White guy.

I have seriously NEVER considered the age, sex or race of the author before reading a book. Most of the time, I do not even know it, and quite frankly, I don't care.

You know how internet commeters are, Mr. Kerfuffler. They all love to claim that they read books, and then they only want to troll the internet and talk about how hard it is to get a decent book to read while posting their intellectual thoughts in a youtube comment thread.

Actually, they aren't Inhumans, they are just augmented by Loki's scepter (one of the Infinity gems). While the Inhumans are changed via the terrigen mist (ie. Terragenesis, as was mentioned on last night's episode) which is what those alien canisters are filled with and why there were so many of them.

Every time I write about how much I like New Haven-style pizza, New Haven people always have to comment with some dumb shit like "there is no New York-style pizza" and make me really, really wish I didn't like their food.

"Why Agent Carter is so much better than Agents of Shield" feels a bit over the top. Compared to early Shield? Definitely, but since Winter Soldier the show has gotten a lot better, and I don't think the gap is that big. I also think that Carter only having to do eight episodes, versus Shield having to do 23 (or…

I can easily agree that Carter is better than SHIELD, and I think it really comes down to one simple fact above all else: Brevity.

I made the mistake of clicking on the Gerber sandwich link:

"I really thought waffle cones were discovered in St. Louis. Like, we had a whole week about that in middle school."

"Vitriol" is the wrong word for what this is.

Missing: President H Truman

Germans and Japanese doing the exact same thing but wouldn't even make a list of the worst thirty of their sides.

Victory does not exempt the victor from being held to a moral standard.

Killing civilians for the purpose of instilling terror is a war crime.

A true bit of history. I had a chance to listen to a speech given by the radio operator of the Enola Gay. The most jarring comment he made was that the higher ups were unimpressed with the results of their missions. Apparently the firebombing campaigns were so devastating and brutal, they at the time, overshadowed…

Not exactly. LeMay was a war criminal, no bones about it. And even he knew it.

If you are going to compile a list of people who committed major war crimes, in this case the murder of tens of thousands of civilians in order to instill terror in a population, Harris and LeMay should certainly be there.
