I never ever want to be the kind of person to hijack a thread. But I often find that when it's a topic people are paying attention to, it's an opportunity to point out other related things that specifically never get any attention anymore (or ever in some cases). And as someone who hasn't actually been a victim of…

You know. You're absolutely right about the Klingons. The Klingon thing was sort of heat of the moment example. Different race but you're right, still expresses the same effect. Thanks for the correction.

That's why conmen say that next to the greedy, clever people are the easiest to fool, because they think they're too clever to be fooled and will miss what's right in front of them since they can't conceive that they could miss anything.

I seem to vaguely remember a case of a Scottish man going a year and two weeks under medical supervision. Granted he was beyond morbidly obese at the start and he was being watched over by doctors but if I'm remembering correctly, it was just water, tea, coffee, and vitamins for a year. The human body is a remarkable…

Yep, I'm a Houston resident too, and I actually get annoyed when someone is merely going 5-10 above the speed limit in front of me (except in school zones. Fuck people who speed in school zones). What, don't they have somewhere to be? But no drivers in Texas have scared me more than Dallas drivers. Sheesh. Speed I can…

"Yes, that's a simplistic and partially unfair example, but I didn't feel like plumbing the depths of scifi for my point."

"if somebody says racist things they have done something racist. What they do and say is indicative of their character, not their own self-identification as a post-racial snowflake." I can dig it. I like the cut of your jib.

I'm glad the sexism issue is being addressed, I have too many close female and also vari-sexualed friends who just can't go to even mainstream gatherings anymore. Even places like Comicon which are okay on the floor, become a different story in hotel elevators. Just because my lady friend is cosplaying (in something…

At least he tried to make an apology and went out of his way to learn more about the issue. Even admitted he still didn't get the big deal about some parts while fully understanding others (which means he was thinking about it not just saying the words). That's a step in the right direction. The rest of the big names…

Surprised how far I had to scroll to find Ford Pinto.

Bookworm 67 had hands down the best written. I liked where Purefold was going but first person turns me off immediately. After a few pages of first person it just starts feeling indulgent, unless it's someone's journal.

I've been using the city lens since it was in beta on my Lumia 900. It really is that cool. I discovered things around me I had never seen before, despite living in the area since 2004. Honestly, my 900 is good enough for now, but I would like the 1080p and the camera enhancements.

Paul and Chani, John and Aeryn. Beautiful.

Congratulations Charlie Jane! This is so awesome. *starts slow clap... stumbles into yelling out "speech speech speech"... fades to silence as awkwardness sets in at everyone staring at him."

I've waited my whole life for this article.

You should check out the clips from the show on Youtube. It was a great show. (two shows actually. The Mitchell and Webb Situation and The Mitchell and Webb Look).

Ditto. I purchased the DVDs for their two shows a few months ago, and I've been listening to The Mitchell and Webb Sound on BBC archives. I just now found out they even put out a book.

Too true.

I would pay money (that suspiciously adds up to the subscription fee I already pay for cable) to get this show back on TV.

Well, posting and formatting blogs can be hard... I mean... but it's not exactly brain surgery. :P
