This is Marvel. Every black person in America apparently lives in Harlem.

“Hainly Abrams, for those who don’t know, is a trans character that previously told the player about her pre-transition name almost immediately after meeting her. It was a jarring piece of dialogue that some fans felt did not accurately portray the realities of being trans, as real people do not always tell…

“It’s True: More People Are Leaving New York and Writing Essays About It”

“It’s funny how people in Japan don’t have an issue with a casting of a different race, but then we have uproar from the alt-right over the very thought of something like Hamilton lol. Oh, the irony.”

I look forward to the next piece in this series, “The second big sidequest in Mass Effect Andromeda is a let-down.”

“But CNNPolitics presents another compelling theory: racism.”

Seeing as CNNPolitics didn’t mention racism at all in that link, the theory would appear to be your creation.

I don’t think you can sleep with Samara but you can definitely sleep with fake Samara, Morinth, her ardat-yakshi daughter. And it will kill you in the process.

Law enforcement first started tracking the kid six months ago when he made a threat to a center in New Zealand, months before Trump won the election.

If Trump is playing that kind of long game - and it’s actually working for him - then we might as well call it a day.

(Gets out Gizmodo Grievance Bingo card for the week. Marks off “Ghost in the Shell.”)

I agree. I find both GitS movies boring.

The Standalone Complex TV series is my favorite adaptation. I’ll trade Mamoru Oshii’s dialogue-free vignettes of a glassy-eyed major staring off into space as the landscape slowly rolls past for things like character development any day.

When has the series *not* been “western savior” jingoism incarnate and full of solutions to problems that involve the application of firearms?

Go kill Russian nationalists, go kill Korean warmongers, go kill South American drug dealers, go kill...

Maybe he’s wearing the Autobot equivalent of a ghillie suit?

“It’s also no great secret how badly the media missed the mark covering the last election. The coastal press corps failed to grasp the extent to which conservative voters and Trump supporters distrusted mainstream media, even when it engaged in nonpartisan fact-checking. Some audiences could find alternative…

I’m going with River Phoenix.

At the risk of causing your brother to relapse, the Titans Return line *does* have an updated 1Fortress Maximus toy...

There is nothing wrong with what she did. Everyone who is upset has some imaginary set of First Daughter decorum in their heads, decorum which is likely based on the last 24 years of presidents, none of whom had adult children who were capable of performing adult duties.

In short, it’s petty bullshit.

I’ve found this site to be pretty interesting in that regard.

For Anwar al-Awlaki:

“It Takes a Charismatic Young Black Man: And Other Things That Wrecked My Shot at the Presidency?”

“Obama put a restriction on travel from Iraq due to specific military tensions. Not the same.”

The six-month-long Iraq visa suspension in 2011 came about not because of military tensions, but because the FBI became aware of two al-Qaeda operatives in Bowling Green, Kentucky, in 2009 - Waad Ramadan Alwan and Mohanad…
