Wouldn’t it be hilarious if someone was SO UTTERLY INCOMPETENT at blog-owning that they managed to piss off the entire editorial staff of their flagship sports-related blog on the same day the World Fucking Series was wrapping up?? HAHAHAAA then they’d have no one left to report on a major sporting story like that!!!…

Drew has gone as of this AM. Billy, too I believe. So that leaves what, Roth and Dom? Can’t see either of them sticking around. The big news in social media (just to get back on topic as that is VERY important) is that Twitter is full of outpourings of sorrow, affection and support for the Deadspin folk. Also some…

I’m one of the few gay men who believe that AIDS needed to happen in order to foster social change. Before some idiot with teal-coloured hair starts hammering at their keyboard, allow me to explain.

A related issue is that the GOP has been pulling the Overton Window ever more to the right with little or no push-back by the Dems. Along comes AOC who actually IS pushing back and attempting the push that window back to the left. As a consequence, establishment Dems are reacting with equal parts fear and guilt. Fear…

I mean a person who is utterly incapable of explaining how her solutions would actually work or be financed.

Alternately: she challenged and defeated a ten-term incumbent Congressman, winning the primary vote by close to 15 percentage points, and did it while spending less than $200k compared to his $3.4 million.

And she qu0ted the actual author, not the character! Damn!

I have a secret hope that won’t be secret after I type this, but I hope that the Tom Baker-esque scarf that Jodie Whittaker wore recently is a secret sign that she’ll be The Doctor for a Tom Baker-esque length of time.

Well at least there’s no way that system could be abused to police dissenting opinions, right?

I’ve been thinking this for a while. We can all become Spider people, or Doctors, or Thors, or Caps. That was the whole point of Cho-Hulk, Jane-Thor, Sam-Cap, Kamala, Thirteen, etc. Who’s underneath the costume doesn’t matter. What matters is that whoever wears the costume, whoever takes on the mantle, is taking on…

It should if you’re a fan of the classics.

Well, it is intended to remind the viewer of the 70's disco/blaxploitation era. Just like the disco/funk theme music, and the shiny mini dresses/purple pant suits, and the makeup and hair, and the introduction of the character as a murderous, undercover seductress working with the mob. The question that has been asked…

For those outside the UK who didn’t see the Doctor Who special on Children In Need.

I’m glad Thirteen still has that feztive spirit.

FTL always equals time travel. Outside frame manipulation, Einstein was *very* clear on this, and all the potential math for working around this also acknowledges time’s arrow and the fact if you have FTL you have time travel. Even direct frame manipulation... Einsteins only exception: nothing can travel faster than…

You don’t need the vampires. The immortality that is in this story? That’s going to just be imposed. Its more profitable, really. GDP and such, workers... not having hospital bills for aging and illness due to it. Yeah, its just going to be.

Been waiting for io9 to do something on Orun. May write a bit more about it on O-Deck this week, honestly. Real friggin’ cool looking game with so much nice fluff behind it.

Yes, but in this context, it’s implied that having a political agenda (a “very big” political agenda) is the same thing as slanting the truth, cherry-picking your facts, and trimming your sails in order to arrive at a pre-determined conclusion.

there are many things wrong with this comment :D

I dunno, I am getting “Dystopian Future”-ed out. Maybe it’s because of the political climate we live in, but would it be possible to have a more optimistic vision of the future every once in a while? (Even Star Trek turned dark.) I just can’t get into this.
