Isn't it more like space blackjack, with a target number?

He's a clown, he can use them to make balloon animals.

Telecommunications are unable to regulate themselves as a fact of physics. We figured out 100 years ago that if you let everyone broadcast whatever radio waves they wanted all we'd get was static, and if you made everyone who wanted to transmit electrical impulses lay their own cables it would be a wasteful nightmare…

I got Nirvana in my toast, and I called my waitress and said, "Hey, wait, I've got a new complaint!"

It all takes place in a Starfleet military court. 'Discovery' refers to the legal evidentiary procedure that is undergone in each case, not anything to do with exploration or strange new worlds. Didn't see that coming, huh?

Deadspin's original story-breaking article veers off into 'Te'o was in on it' toward the end without much support, which kind of deflated all their hard work back down to regular Deadspin half-assedness. No one could ever provide a compelling answer why he would participate in it, unless it was that he found out the…

Will Bradley Cooper cameo as Chris Kyle gunning down looters?

Please publish your research graphing the direct proportionality between show popularity and superiority felt.

I like it. It singlehandedly ended 'the Golden Age of TV Drama' by establishing a new epoch, which prevented the Golden Age talk from dragging on as long as there are multiple good shows on the air and ultimately being used to refer to a different span of years by each person using the term. Now we can say the Golden…

"My aunt lives in Jedha. She says it's very nice."

And he has tons of experience conducting long-term harassment campaigns from when he tormented Tippi Hedren with murderous birds because she wouldn't have sex with him!

"It’s still ridiculously difficult to get from certain parts of Brooklyn to other parts of Brooklyn on the subway."

I can tell you this crossover has gotten me interested in watching these shows on subscription-free Hulu…

Yeah, but it was really only for a period starting in the '70s, when there was enough continuity in the industry that ethical standards got preserved and didn't have to be reinvented, Watergate made it cool, and most importantly newspapers became really profitable and thus competitive and willing to invest money into…

I think the Republic just lets each planet elect their senator any way they want because who cares about dictating every planet's existing system of government, so the king just elected himself senator by a vote of one yea to zero nays.

Wait, so Stein was the 'presumptive' nominee all this time, and none of the former Sanders supporters have been going around insisting we call her that until the convention makes it official? I wonder why.

It must be hard for Portland cops to issue APBs on criminals when everyone's driving Subarus. Not that the police could keep up the chase for long with their Segways.

I mostly ditched Star Wars EU after the New Jedi Order books, but somehow found my way to Star Wars: Legacy, and it was great and totally captured the Star Wars feel despite the fact that the premise sounds terrible in every way. I'm always meaning to read the earlier-set Dark Horse comics.

And the gang would probably have still been in prison in 2001.
