As a Latina geek, I just about flipped my shit when I saw this trailer. I mean, I' loved HTTYD 2, the movie the trailer was attached to, but it was a visceral (in a good way) reminder of why representation matters.

He was seriously the best part of that show. If anyone deserves a brilliant acting career, it's him, because he so has the talent.

Gooooooo. It's seriously as eccentric and tasty as you dream it is.

Seriously. Portland knows how to piss off right-wingers and make some delicious noms.

I think that kind of obsessive focus just comes with guys named Saban, whether it's kids' shows or college football.

I could see Day as Tesla! I just want more drifty science hjinks from these two either in the sequel or the animated series they've got planned.

Seriously. I mean, wasn't Gorman's character in Pacific Rim an audition for this role?

If he's writing it, I'm sure the Yellow and Pink Rangers won't morph into their costumes - they'll strip down to their skivvies while the Red Ranger watches.

Y'know, this kind of respect for canon would be awesome for another beloved series too, Orci. Just saying:

This fictional naval surgeon approves of this post, though he advises wombat are fans of eating hats, not wearing them.

I don't know what's more awesome: the segment itself or listening to the women in the crowd engage in some hardcore squee.

The index lady was at our branch in a ridiculously posh neighborhood in Denver, where they had valet parking for people who brought their Maseratis to the mall.

Evidently this happens on a semi-frequent basis. It certainly has me shaking those damn plastic boxes, to see if there's a dead bird thumping around the organic baby spinach.

Maybe people are just super used to escalators? Or maybe they're all Hogwarts alumni?

I swear, we needed to do a special section of books organized by color. Or organized by what radio/television show it was on (thank the gods we had a lot of booksellers who listened to NPR, so they knew the book of the day before customers even asked for the title.) But people who came in asking for the book on

Wow. Just because you can order your quinoa and kale chips with a bestseller on Amazon doesn't mean you can pull that on a bricks and mortar store.

Dumb bookstore customer time! We had a customer come in, while our awesome indy bookstore was still three stories, and ask how to get to a section that was on the second floor. A friend of mine and coworker pointed out the very visible staircase. The customer asked him, I kid you not, "yes, but do the stairs go up?"

My Latin professor posted a photo a dead bird he found in a container of spring greens. It was a bit purple so I thought it was just some bird-shaped radicchio and then it was like o.O

"Soda experience." A phrase brought to you by the same marketing people who call an upscale strip mall a "lifestyle center."

Wait, wait, Alabama is in the Southwest? Then why did I get a pansy-ass fried flour tortilla from the store with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar when I ordered a sopapilla? I'm not even going to mention what passes for green chile around here...
