The problem with adapting Diamond Age is that you eventually have to get to the ending which is probably the most egregious of all of Stephenson’s unsatisfying endings.

I remember when American Gods was first broadcast on Starz and everyone who hadn’t read the book bitched about the name “Shadow Moon”

When they first announced Jones had gotten the part, I thought it was terrible casting because in the book, he’s a kindly old man with a wicked (sometimes fatal) sense of humor but he quickly won me over with his interpretation. I was considering bailing on the show after last season and I’m pretty sure that this news…

I’m not going to name names, but the new Season Three showrunner is Connecticut-born and Yale-educated, so he’s very smart. And he thinks that Mr. Nancy’s angry, get s*** done is the wrong message for black America.

Also, I haven’t watched much Smallville, but how exactly CAN Clark just “give up” his powers? Is that a thing in his show?

A little of column A, a little of column B.

That was essentially a 30 minute episode of Harmontown.

Exactly what I scrolled down to post.  That was fantastic

On a side note: It’s been bothering me for years, but what’s with all these license plate naming conventions in the hip-hop world?

I always feel especially sad when I hear that someone from Sesame Street has passed (I was born 3 days after the show debuted so I feel a special affinity with it) but probably more so for Spinney as Big Bird was the character that I think every kid identifies with when they watch the show.

Maybe god’s a selfish prick and just not willing to share all of his power at once.

Can you run it in TempleOS?

I’ve had C. diff. It sucks. Fortunately no one had to put someone else’s poop in my butt to fix me.

I think that was Pam Adlon

With Claudia Black only having a single line in the 1st act that’s two weeks in a row that they’ve wasted talented actors on pretty trivial material.

And make all those people mad about the fixes he makes because no one hates Star Wars quite as much as a Star Wars fan

President Ronald Crump is stalked through the White House by the angry vengeful ghosts of Lincoln, FDR and Teddy Roosevelt with only his massive ego, a compliant Senate and the friendly spirits of Richard Nixon, Andrew Jackson and Warren G. Harding to protect him,

No.
