Yes, the statement that levels are too low to be a health concern is an understatement. It would be better to say that these levels are literally millions of times lower than the level required to have any impact at all. (I’m also a nuclear engineer, BTW).

For additional perspective, it would be good to point out that…

My favorite nuclear article was the xkcd article about swimming in a spent fuel pool: https://what-if.xkcd.com/29/

“It resulted in significant loss of life”

Okay everyone. Nuclear engineer here.

This is a bunch of overblown nonsense. When they say “too low to result in a health hazard,” let me illustrate just how low that risk is: remember the “radioactive tuna” panic in the year after earthquake? Yeah, it turns out you would have to eat 20 servings of the most highly…

Boy....sure have been a lot of Marvel comics writers who have toned down the rhetoric lately. Weird. Probably a coincidence.

We should consider context and tone before we conduct an online lynching, unless it’s one of our political enemies because fuck them.

The key difference is without either Roiland or Harmon, Rick and Morty is nothing and Adult Swim knows it. To Disney, Gunn is just a worker in the entertainment mines, and they are pretty sure that everybody is still going to watch their next toy commercial no matter which drone they slot into his place. (Ron Howard…

Jeepers Creepers is a genuinely great horror movie. Powder, on the other hand, is fucking laughably maudlin garbage. And, of course, Victor Silva is a gross pedo.

“ to continue to support someone who used marginalized people as the shit he could pile up to rise to fame is ridiculous to anyone who wants to see progress in this world.”

I bet if you try just a little harder you can mischaracterize his jokes even more than you already have.

At least you’re being completely disingenuou…

This is a blog, not The Grey Lady. Lighten up, Francis.

On the one hand, that is a sentiment that people have, on the other, there’s the editorializing against the obvious fact it shouldn’t matter who turned up the true info, particularly when “alt-right” has come to mean “anyone who disagrees with anything or anyone I identify with.” I’ve seen the ADL called “alt-right”…

“Most (sensible) people seem to agree that Disney giving into a targeted smear campaign led by the “alt-right” is a troubling precedent.”

I went on the Powder theme park ride lots of times when I was a kid.
Well...he said it was a ride. It looked more like the inside of a van.
And by “theme park” I mean “car port”.
And by Powder, I mean...
(you see where this is going)

They made $3 off me from ordering it on Pay Per View 21 years ago

I mean, Disney is probably not making money off of Powder any more.

Not to mention the fact that the company is still named after (and very likely run by the terrifying cryogenically-frozen head of) noted antisemite, union-buster, and totalitarian futurist Walt Disney.

Amazon has free two-day shipping, so I’m good.  I literally remember when a package took four to six weeks to arrive, but I digress.

Twitter (tm): Where the Product We Sell is YOU

But if everyone leaves Twitter where are news sites like this going to get opinions from random people to fill their articles with?

Of course it’s all horseshit, but when they say this is the culture liberals have created... they’re not wrong. If a conservative had tweeted those James Gunn tweets and made the same excuses everyone is making for them now - they’re old, they’re jokes - nobody, certainly not Clayton here, would be defending him. It’s…
