LOL you losers are so easily triggered.

Niven, who is best-known to scifi readers for Ringworld.

Because getting excited over dumb BS like this doesn’t actually accomplish anything.

Um, isn’t that the exact same plot of this book (and its sequels)?

Godamn I hate conservatives who love subversive music but apparently never grasped (or just think it’s fine to ignore) the lyrics. “Clampdown,” “Know Your Rights,” Career Opportunities”...not to mention “Radio Radio” and “Oliver’s Army.” And the sainted name of Joey Ramone should never pass through Scarborough’s…

Counterpoint: Phish and the Grateful Dead are absolutely fucking terrible. I hate Joe but even a broken clock blah blah blah.

Cut this shit out. I don’t like Trump. He’s a moron. I didn’t want him for president. But he won.

I loathe Trump as much as the next Jezebel commenter, but I hate this sign stealing/burning stuff.

If tentacled baby elephants wearing platform shoes parachuting down on our heads is wrong then I don’t want to be right.

Good luck. Hope you find a writer that personally answers to your high standards and pander whatever fetish you might need down the road. Godspeed.

There is a special place in hell for those who are responsible for perpetrating geo-locked YouTube videos on the world

No, it’s art, just like Thomas Kinkade’s stuff is art. It’s just very hacky, hokey art.

Meanwhile in Japan, the king of time travel stories is receiving a side-story/sequel/alternate world line adaptation, in the form of Steins; Gate 0. So yes, time travel seems to be particularly big this year.

If you haven’t had the pleasure of watching Steins; Gate, one of the best anime series ever produced, now is…

Ever heard of the sunk cost fallacy? Sometimes it’s better to just cut your losses.

I’d call the Riddick franchise the opposite of a well-built universe. The first film offered a nice, grounded, human-centric little universe that was relatively plausible for an SF movie (aside from the orbital dynamics), and explained Riddick simply as a guy who’d had surgery to give him night vision. But the sequel…

I want a space opera based on the Culture instead, thanks.

You walked out of Tremors?

I never miss an opportunity to post this :)

I had no idea that NASA was working on faster-than-light communications

I’m confident the best books about Mars will be represented here, so I thought I’d give some love to one of my favorite novels, which has a very important Martian thread running through it: Spin, by Robert Charles Wilson. Probably doesn’t qualify, though, since it’s really “about” a dying Earth. They do colonize Mars…
