TO CLARIFY because this is understandably confusing people: Alina’s claim isn’t that she decided to not work, but that she didn’t want to be physically in the office all day, which is what Emily allegedly preferred. Her attitude is “if I get my work done, who cares where it happens” because bloggers can blog from…

Where have you been, Mars?

Flint’s water crisis happened because state officials made a temporary switch in the water supply and did not properly treat the water with an anti-corrosive agent. That decision caused the harsh water to eat away at the pipes as it traveled to homes. Lead pipes leeched lead into the water, poisoning hundreds. Iron…

That’s your take on this?

OMG people, Ancient Egypt + undiscovered mummies + 21st-century war zone = Sudan. WTF Iraq. No.

My new favorite Tom Cruise anecdote is that Christian Bale based his performance in American Psycho on Tom Cruise’s 97 interview with Letterman interview. “He was aggressively likable but had dead eyes.”

What makes them think they have a right to be so irresponsible with their basic-ass genetic material and then make it everyone else’s responsibility to support them???

Needs more orthography mistakes, but you still get an A.

All I hear are excuses. I came to read about space sex and all I got was some nerd telling me all the reasons it would be difficult. That isn’t even close to all the things I want to know.

The only way I ever get to see these vids is to turn on my VPN and set the country to the US, so while it’s annoying, it doesn’t bother me all that much. What DOES annoy me is the fact that I rarely ever find a link that takes me straight to i09 anymore - mostly I’m shunted to Gismodo (Australia) which is crappy by…

By the way, none of these videos can be viewed in Canada. (Not sure about other countries.) I realize that io9 is based in the US, but you also have international readership; are there any other legal sources of video you can post, or at least direct us damn foreigners to?

It is, and Speaker Paul Ryan should bar him from his seat tomorrow. But Paul Ryan (pictured below) will do nothing to this heinous man.

Nah. Inciting violence in general is perfectly legal. It has to be inciting “imminent” violence in order for it to be against the law.

Not enough rich/important people to fix all of trump’s stupid decisions

And probably has bigger hands.

Ghost-hunting cop Peter Grant and his motley crew of associates return in this new novella to figure out who or what is haunting the London Underground—and why. (June 30)“
