ChancellorPuddinghead has a point, though…

Yeah, in retrospect, according to what has been presented on the show, I'm pretty sure that her parents on the show died. Been a little while since I watched the show, and the comic with her mom just came out, so - conflating.

Oh I forgot all about that. But still - it's comics/comic book shows, so - maybe they were only "dead" instead of dead.

I'm not sure why, but my money is on her playing Jessica's mom. They've introduced her as a character in the comics recently, and it seems like fertile ground to spend a bit more time on the family that helped to make Jessica into Jessica.

Me too - opening for R.E.M. on the "Up" tour. The time she does fly.

Cool! I've corrupted my wife into being equally irresponsbile and taking a day off of packing, so we'll both be going. Should be fun!

Tabling at DINK, I'm guessing? I'm REALLY hoping to get down for it. I live about an hour north of Denver, and getting there is easy, but I'm in the middle of a move, and I probably shouldn't kill a day to go to a con. But… Los Bros Hernandez!

I suppose that's true; it likely just feels more prevalent today because the issue of climate change is so fundamental to our continued existence as a species. Lead paint and tobacco were certainly issues that were causing harm, but comparatively localized harm. But you're entirely correct - whenever science has…

Go then. There are other release dates than these.

Well yeah, but OUR scientists were seen as assets for our country. This sort of delegitimization of science generally wasn't really going on during the space race and the nuclear buildup; generally both sides of the aisle at least trusted that the people running NASA and building our nukes knew what they were talking…

I guess to be fair, he did grow up during a an unusual time where, for the most part, science WASN'T politicized to such a substantial degree. We're just sort of reverting to the norm. And, as such, wiping ourselves off of the face of the planet by doing so.

This. Science has always been political. One of the things that it does is encourage skepticism and asking of questions, and that's an inherently political point of view.

Welcome back you crazy rapping highly intelligent bipedal murder lizard you! Seeing this post makes things seem more right with the world!

This is my tact as well. If someone shows genuine contrition, that has to be taken into account. I truly do believe that there's inherent value in learning to forgive, and I don't think it's a healthy perspective to take to say that if someone commits a violent crime, they should be sent to actor/singer/artist jail…

Agreed. Dodey oh doe indeed.

I don't care what people say is/is not cool - I legit like most of the Humpty Hump songs. Humpty Dance is fun as hell, as is The Return of the Crazy One as is The Odd Couple (with the one and only Biz Markie).

I actually trust Quint pretty solidly. He's by far the best writer left on AICN, and over the years I've come to see that his tastes tend to line up with mine pretty well.

I would imagine so. If they feel so inclined.

Honestly I feel like the DI part of his biography is swept aside too much because it doesn't fit in with the image that people think of when they think of Tupac. Drives me kind of crazy.

I'd call myself excited about this on the condition that it doesn't fuck with the Deadwood movie(s). I need to see if Olyphant can go back to the clenched-jaw fury of Seth Bullock after several years of playing a smart-ass Marshall and a year of playing zombie-Drew Barrymore's doofy husband.
