Say aye and yer bugger!

Heather became a marijuana farmer and wrote a book about it!

It seems ridiculous now but I remember having my mind blown by this back in those dark days of 2008. It's hard to express now but this shit was so cool in those nascent days of YouTube, like the technology was genuinely going to revolutionize entertainment. Nearly a decade later and it's just a wasteland of…

You could make a movie from that perspective about something like the Planned Parenthood shooter and really hammer home how one man's heroic savior of the unborn is someone else's deranged murderer.

A great job to all and to all a great job!

A subversive remake of "Death Wish", rooted in our reality of mass shootings and lone wolf killers, definitely could have potential.

"Did seven podcasts, read old issues of batman and bought two seats for my southwest flight. So all in all a typical Monday".

Yup. I'm still hoping for something like the original ending of "Contact" (the book) where it turns out that there are intelligent messages encoded in pi, that the scale of existing alien intelligences are so far beyond our understanding that they're indistinguishable from "God".

I hear ya. I was just being a bit of a self righteous prig last night, probably because I found this episode kind of campy and dumb.

That's true, and I'm fully aware of the biases and flaws of the Fermi paradox. I absolutely believe life exists elsewhere in the universe but I have a sinking cynical belief that intelligent life inevitably destroys itself in a galacticly insignificant time frame. The timescale of the universe and our incredible…

Turtles bro. Turtles all the way down.

Well the number of exoplanets were aware of has increased by an exponential level of magnitude in the past decades. Coupled with our advances in radio telescopy the absence of any evidence is turning into the bleakest evidence of all.

"2012" is so transcendently stupid it circles back around into brilliance, only to be driven back into a stupid by a limo driving John Cusack.

I would say any clear eyed analysis of the Fermi Paradox inherent in the Drake Equation leads to the obvious conclusion that it's turtles all the way down.

L'AV club c'est moi. Apres les Leonard Pierce est la deluge.

The Internet has done a great job of affirming and normalizing mental illnesses.

Bro- you just need to monetize your personal brand with a proactive digital strategy.

Je suis that guy

From my point of view it's the Internet that's evil!

Don't confuse the exploitation of Chewbacca mom with her initial "fame". Her Facebook live got tens of millions of views organically. If Disney had the power to create these viral events at will you'd better believe we'd be hearing about Zootopia Dad and ESPN Son and ABC Family Daughter.
