The questions themselves are legal, but any decent HR office is going to scream at you for asking them because it opens the organization up to easy lawsuits.

It will be on Hulu Plus, though probably not until a few weeks before the new season starts.

I just feel like it’s wrong to bring in all of these extra-textual concerns over which the creator has no control and use them to comment on his piece. If you want to look at how his treatment of Black Widow fits into the larger Marvel Universe, fine. But to try and connect to toys, a marketing campaign, and another…

Black Widow had her mind and body forcefully changed to make her an inhuman killing machine.

I’m a librarian and we see the exact opposite. Digital means licenses, higher costs, expiring content, and a lack of ownership. Print means it’s ours and we can do whatever we want with it. Print all the way.

So the Yankees can market the retirement of Andy Pettitte’s jersey but not A-Rod’s home run chase?

Ice cube trays are the best. Each cube is 1/8 of a cup of stock, so I just freeze all of my stock in ice cube trays and store them in freezer bags. If I need a cup of stock, I just pull out 9 or 10 cubes (a little will evaporate as it’s heated) and am good to go.

“Nonviolence” is the cry of the bully whose victim has finally punched back.

So scientists killed a super-rare shark by mistaking it for a fish? Way to fucking go, scientists.

The biggest difference, in my opinion, is that, in baseball, every play is a discrete event and, at most, you’ve only got ten variables, with the vast majority of plays having only three or four. This kind of advanced statistics is much more difficult in other sports because there is no distinct start and stop point…

Or, God, look at the 1950s and ‘60s. Disney released 73 scripted films in those twenty years, 67 (92%) of which were sequels or based on previously existing narratives.

Has this ever not been the case? I decided to head to Wikipedia’s page of “List of Walt Disney Pictures Films” and picked a random three year period (1975-1977). Here’s what they released.

But how many vaccine recipients have been burned at the stake as witches in 18th century Scotland? Huh? Huh? The people deserve to know!

We’re currently in the process of designing and building a new library because, believe it or not, a poured concrete structure doesn’t allow for much change to the power and internet infrastructure.

Apparently Patton Oswalt's pitch got a hard pass.

It's such a fantastic shot, basically a replica of this one (which is meant entirely as a compliment).

Are we sure the scene in "Cut Man" was actually done in one take? I haven't gone back to look, but even that .gif has that classic "zoom in on a single area to mask a cut" look. There's an earlier part of the scene that does the same thing.

What I learned from this video: Playing "When the Saints Go Marching In" in a minor key makes it sound like the Game of Thrones theme.

I'm pretty sure the whole Kroger family does this, so that would be Kroger, Dillon's, Ralph's, Smith's, Harris Teeter, and bunch of others. It really is great. We have our cards attached to our church and a couple of choirs that my wife sings in.
