I question how it’s possible that the Soviet government would be able to build a top secret facility to open a gateway to another dimension along with the military and scientific personnel required to maintain such a facility smack dab in the middle of the US without anyone noticing.

Any supervillain looking to destroy Venice had better get a move on if they don’t want flooding, cruise ship erosion, and rising sea levels to beat them to it.

Some shitty test for autonomous vehicles won’t help. End of the day, no matter how good these autonomous systems get (and they’re already getting pretty good IMHO), they’ll hit a limit without ALL other vehicles and infrastructure conforming to new standards.

Critics who saw it at the Venice Film Festival last year also noted its extreme violence, with one critic calling it “some of the most atrocious on-screen violence in recent memory.”

The big difference is that there’s actual enforced laws for autos. Yeah, they do their fair share of bad, too! No one’s a saint. But should you try parking your car on an access ramp for the sidewalk for any length of time, it probably won’t end well.

I hate these companies more than anybody I know for clogging the sidewalks and turning a blind eye to the behavior of their riders, but even I draw the line at cut brakes (and yeeting them into bodies of water with aquatic life, for that matter—these garbage-piles are pretty toxic!).

She’s just mad because she can’t do Kessel run in less than 13 parsecs.

“Sir, we’re losing altitude!” “Engage bottom rotor!”

Finally, a video that belongs on Deadspin.

They’ve got a strong social media presence.  There’s truly a lot of buzz around them.

This thread made me so nostalgic for the days before TLJ was the ~worst Star Wars movie ever.

HER: You wanna go for dinner?
ME: I’m going to need two forms of government ID first.

That guy is a Dick.

The Phantom Menace was on TV last night. Natalie Portman looked about 18, while Jake Lloyd looked about 6. And yet their characters eventually hook up and have children. Take that, Moby haters! Double standard! /s

The AV Club’s steadfast refusal to use editors, or spellcheck, or even simply reread what they just wrote is a longstanding source of amusement.

The final Game of Thrones episode abruptly ends just before someone sits on the Iron Throne, due to the police arriving to arrest the cast for the death of a prostitute in season one.

I don’t follow MMA, but I’ve seen that name several times before and just assumed he was a quarterback from Utah.
