Fair questions.

They took a legal route to solve a problem. I suppose they could have run the guy out of town with a posse, but we’d be reading about that then and defending the racist’s rights.

I grew up in a very small town where a $35,000 expenditure easily could have bankrupted the town. I still would have encouraged the mayor to…

Let’s just go ahead and make that show meta by somehow working the Mythbusters into a recurring role.

Probably not quite as touchy as Sicilians are when you tell them their darker skin is due to African blood from their past.

What’s this? Hispania?

In the case of Harry Potter, it got gradually darker looking over the 8 films. This was in part to set the tone of how serious it was becoming.

He is still not taking profit from DC.

But they are not making and selling Batmobiles, and I doubt they’re going to get into the car sales business anytime soon. So what harm is Gotham Garage doing to the franchise by making and selling replicas of the batmobile.

And when you deify a person and ignore their faults it becomes harder to admit that mistakes could have been made which shouldn’t have been. This makes it more difficult to correct mistakes that haven’t been and it justifies (or makes it easy to rationalize) the terrible behavior of those that defend it.

Dan Savage has letters from Ashley Madison users over on SLOG, illustrating the Law of Unintended Consequences.

That’s what it sounds like to me. You have a candidate that needs to get into office before he can change anything, and he’s willing to do what people instead of corporations ask. But here we have barely a think piece about how Bernie needs to do more. So instead of supporting a candidate who will undoubtedly do more,…

Greg Howard is saying that. That is the implication of this “think” piece.

From what I see here, his critics don’t understand his platform.

That’s what I’m hearing. He should focus only on BLM because that will surely get him into office and everything will be fixed. We don’t have to take one step at a time to fix our social ills. It didn’t take from the 1860s to the 1960s to get some legal protections or anything, but Bernie can’t run unless he can fix…

“Bernie is the best you can do? Well he can’t change shit, so let’s shit on him and keep the status quo.” Aside from the logical fallacies in this article, the first being

I would argue that children are such an overabundant resource that we should be hunting them. We can give them knives and a head start.

A subjective opinion on the similarities between a book and a movie? You don’t say?!

That’s actually the joke. When Smith was working on it the studio kept pitching Superman fight a giant mechanical spider. When the film didn’t happen, it ended up in WWW instead.

I didn’t understand until I read the book, then decided that the movie was definitely in the spirit of the book (except for Verhoeven’s trademark gratuitous sex and gore). I miss pieces from the book like the history of the federation’s formation though.

Although I will add that I wish the history of the federation was covered in the movie the same way it was in the books.
