When did they start making these hyperlinks so irrelevant? I’m used to The Root putting in links to other articles but they usually have a point.

The sea was angry that day my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.

Yup. Shot back-to-back, so it shouldn’t be too far off.

It’s got a terrific cast and a very decent director, and the trailer looks bonkers, but they’re going with Alienoid as the English title? Oof. The original title translates to Alien+Human Part 1, which is no great shakes (although it may well sound better in Korean), but it’s still a damn sight better than Alienoid.

That I agree with 100%.  I’m also afraid it’s going to be a long time before she’s released given the complete and utter lack of diplomatic rapport or leverage with Russia at the moment.  I’m glad the State Dept is trying but for now it’s window dressing.

Half the WNBA plays overseas during the offseason (usually for more money) and more than a dozen play in Russia?  

On the one hand, it’s not like they’re keeping anything particularly vital up there, but on the other hand...

Why are they all coming out of a Poké Ball symbol?

And to think Jack Del Rio interacts & coaches Black players..

Hey, my town! My friends and I were discussing this, and the current highest bet among my group is that it’s a tweaker in a stolen fursuit. 4 of them were stolen out of a car a while back, we figured it was only a matter of time before someone got bored/high enough to put it on and run around town.

See, I disagree that Frank’s Red Hot and Sriracha are interchangeable. They may have a similar heat profile but the acidic brightness of Frank’s Red Hot is very vinegary while the same brightness in Sriracha is more pepper-forward. For me, the test of hot sauce compatibility would be Mexican cuisine. I’m just not a…

You’re absolutely right. Viewing one person as a person immediately diminishes all other injustices in the world. Truly, justice and goodness are part of a zero sum game.

Or, alternatively, a lawyer DID advise him of that but he thought himself far smarter than the lawyer and ignored it.

Now we’ll never get answers to such burning questions as, “What the hell is going on?” and “Why the fuck should anyone care?”

Dry.... is the best word I'd call this series. Like chewing through over cooked meat.

More likely is that they get a base on Mars with a couple thousand people, and that base starts the process of shifting towards greater self-sufficiency over time.
