Thanks for the head’s up.

Remember when he used to get chased around by people dressed as robots? Good times...

Republicans: “We believe in a free market economy!”

I bet he draws a digital clock reading, and they said “Eh, good enough.”

“Me not think this very good test. Me think me pass. Give all cookie.”

I’m not much into the expanded universe stuff that Brian put out, so I don’t really remember him.

Yeah, I get that. The Missionaria Protectiva is very manipulative, no doubt. Getting the Honored Matres to turn Rakis into a cinder was kind of shitty, too, even if there was a need for it in Taraza’s plan.

Oh, yeah, Siona is great. Certainly the hero of that book. The thing with the Bene Gesserit, is that as a whole they are a force for good. The whole thing with their “governing” structure, as in the conversation with the old Great Honored Matre, where it’s alluded to but never stated outright - is that they’re…

See also: conservatives avowed love of the “free market”, except when it works against them (and they cry for government intervention).

I don’t understand people who think the miniseries is superior, tbh. As odd as Lynch’s interpretation was (the “weirding modules”, in particular), he at least consulted with Frank Herbert (and presumably had his go-ahead) on the film. Herbert was long dead by the time the miniseries came out. It’s insulting to me that…

Paul is also relatable because while he’s a villain for bringing the jihad and passing on the Golden Path to his son, he also becomes a victim of the very prescience that is at the center of all this. He’s a very reluctant villain, and he suffers a great deal for it. Leto II is much harder to relate to as the Tyrant,…

The Guild controlled space travel. No space travel, no spice. No spice, the feudal lords of the empire start dying earlier.

Oh, the GOP - at least those in power - work on a willful ignorance and willful stupidity basis. They’re capable of rational thought; they just reject it. Their followers just repeat what they say because they’re incapable of critical thinking.

You don’t even need to be a scientist to know this. It only takes the bare minimum of epistemology and logic to draw the correct conclusion.

Justin is a creative superpower. He’s done so much original shit that I can’t even keep up with it all. I was big into Godflesh back in the day, and he heavily inspired me in my own creative endeavors, and I followed along as he branched out - discovering so much related music I liked upon the way. Personally, I think…

I don’t think “cancelling” isn’t real, but the notion that it’s a “culture” is entirely manufactured by the right as a smear against anyone who advocates for social justice. Let’s not forget they cancel their own anytime they step out of line with the current mainstream group-think on their side of the aisle, yet…

The internet really is a perfect semi-microcosmic model of the free-market in action. I used to interact with some Libertarians, and they were quite insistent about the free-market not being simply an economic phenomenon - that it was “the free market of ideas” that was important. Well, here it is. And surprise,…

“If Bruce Lee is so awesome, why won’t he wrestle Jim Jordan? Huh?”

“a little less” =/= 7 times less.
