Well, that’s going to be vastly better than: How to Not Fear Death, According to TikTok.

Great, I was only fearing death, but now I also have to fear that I’m just a hallucination of Ag Obair’s dying brain!

Depends on the food, and depends on the floor.

Space... battles? And Asimov? Oy no. 

There’s no India to be from in the setting, though. Earth is basically considered to be a myth like Atlantis, although various crackpots go in search of it (they eventually find it in Foundation & Earth, but it is just a radioactive wasteland).

This looks bad, but if they follow my mathematically derived script and shooting notes it should be less bad then it could be :)

C’mon, man. Why kill it before it airs?

Well, and it does seem like the show is missing the point. Seldon wasn’t personally going to overthrow the Empire. From his calculations, it was already doomed, sort of like a cancer patient that doesn’t know they have incurable metastatic disease. He didn’t cause it, any more than the oncologist caused the cancer…

Human sacrifice for political gain is a grand old American tradition.

So...the producers of the Leprechaun horror movies can only be Irish? Pizza Huts can only be owned by Italians? BBQ can only be cooked by black chefs from America?

Yep, they wanted to make sex work less visible. The talk about catching sex traffickers was just the political cover they needed to make the bill harder to oppose. It was blindingly obvious from the start that SESTA/FOSTA would deplatform sex workers and force them to to conduct their business in more dangerous ways.

I think the cultural appropriation issue has gone a little off the rails. It was one thing to say its wrong for a bunch of frat boys to make fun of others with a racist sombrero party. This is something else.

The actual real world fate of the workers was never and is not the point. Like so many other things, this was political theater to demonstrate “someone should do something about something!” Same ol’ same ol’ bullshit.

So if someone from that background started a product or brand and named it after African American slang, would it get the same backlash? People are get real funny with this appropriation talk and saying people need to apologize. 

The real wormhole was inside of us all along! Or, possibly, I have a tapeworm.

I usually give a $1 when all they had to do was open a bottle of beer, I don’t have an issue doing the same for pouring a soda. 

Beatty was one of those great acclaimed actors of his time, but to us kids, like the classically-trained James Earl Jones’ Darth Vader, he will always be fondly remembered by nerds as Otis. He was a master of comic timing, like all great dramatic actors are. RIP.

He’s a total 1970s Bond villain, Hackman’s Luthor is. I totally didn’t realize it until last year watched it with a friend who’d never seen it and he pointed it out. I’d never really understood why they went in the direction with him that they did until then, but of course - the Salkinds were pretty upfront that they…

Gene Hackman is, of course, a legend, and his Lex Luthor has never been bested by anyone else (Kevin Spacey tried to take Hackman’s Lex and make him more evil, but all he succeeded in doing was make him more creepy). But without Beatty’s Otis, it wouldn’t have been nearly as memorable a performance.

Fuck. I read this after placing my order for 5,000 soy lattes. Great.
