After you’ve spent enough time in the company of geeks and nerds, someone will eventually ask the inevitable

Voyager: Look up a “best of” list to see what you should watch in the first three seasons. Skip everything but those episodes. Start at Scorpion for the rest of it.

Given the talent in that room, I’m willing to give it a chance. Kirsten Beyer, after all, managed to singlehandedly rehabilitate Voyager in the Expanded Universe novels, which I thought was an impossible task. Meyer helmed the two best classic Trek films, and Fuller has a lot of good shows under his belt, as well as

Voyager is leaps and bounds superior to Enterprise

Okay, bear with me, but I have a few ideas to pitch:

Uniformed Police Officer: Detective, the victim was Anthony Stone. He was found by his housekeeper impaled with this sword.

Do they meet in episode two a hacker named Meryl Lin who has an almost magical ability to hack anything?

Agreed! Most nerds know what it’s like to be on the receiving end of exploitation and harassment, so to engage in it themselves seems especially un-self aware and craptastic. It makes me think of GamerGate and all the HORRIBLE stuff that goes on in the gamer community. We’re supposed to be better than that!

There’s just something about nerd pervs that gets me extra enraged. This kind of violence is despicable enough but when you throw geek culture into the mix it feels especially wrong when you're ruining something as magical as a convention and twisting it into a perv landmine.

This is speculation on my part, but I wonder how much connection there is between sexual harassment at cons and the “disenfranchising” we also see at cons, the claims that some people are not “true fans,” because they’re not geeks, because they’re not knowledgeable enough, because they’re not male or white or

It’s funny, how the story of what dogs are and how they came to be is so completely human - uplifting, triumphant, and full of deep bonds of love, yet also tragic, horrific, and sinister. Just like us.

I am convinced that people who pick out “educational” books for children secretly hate said children. Or reading. Or both.

The school decided to put both my kids through it.

Not sure I can handle this one.

This movie is based on a book, and from the grimmest Wikipedia summary I have ever read, it looks like the film may have upped the feel-good parts of the story and left out all the euthanizing and abandonment. Or, it hasn’t, and I still don’t want to watch a film where a dog’s soul goes through several periods of

Also it did not help that clicking over to the final page in comixology brings you to this:

That’s the sign of a good scientist.

Things behaving according to model is just another data point.

Things not behaving according to model is a chance that we may make a new discovery, and who knows what implications that might have?! (Or it could be faulty equipment, which is why good scientists take so long to

Ooo, ooo! Pick me, pick me! I’m a lighting designer, I’ve totally got this one!

The difference between scientists and engineers:
