  • Ironically, Clint Eastwood is playing a Korean War vet in that movie.

  • The last sentence makes it. Well done!

  • I would absolutely take the side of the pet owner in this case. Although not a pet owner myself, I have seen the love and happiness that pets give. It’s beautiful, and not for outsiders to judge.

  • No. We might have the cultural equivalent of an “Indian summer”, where things briefly seem to get better, but overall, humanity is on the downswing. We’re ruining our environment and draining our resources. Not enough people in power are motivated to fix things, or at least keep them from getting worse. Most popular culture will be an increasingly frantic and transparent effort to ignore the collapse of human civilization.

  • The film skips the more interesting story of how Captain Marvel became viewed not as the savior of all worlds, but as the villain of the Kree.

    YES. This could have been a worthwhile movie by itself. Blowing the chance to take a non-human perspective was a missed opportunity.

    Overall, I’d say The Marvels wasn’t an especially good movie, but the hate it got was ridiculously disproportionate.

  • From what little I know of academia, I’ve gotten the impression that publishing in major journals is essential to advancing one’s career.

    This looks like yet another example of the government driving away knowledgeable, motivated scientists.

  • This is irritatingly pedantic, but part of that irritation comes from the fact that it’s 100% true.

  • Of course it’s a state in the Deep South. I’m guessing Mississippi or Alabama will be next.

  • If you see an article about the internet in a publication like People or USA Today, it’ll read like it was written by someone’s paranoid grandmother.

  • There doesn’t seem to be any such thing as “good” AI, but there’s definitely a “worst” one, and Telegram chose it. Nice job, assholes.

  • You are very welcome!

  • Forget the civil suit for a minute. This is a crime. People belong in prison.

  • I’ve seen the occasional post about Fandom sucking now, but I don’t know the back story. Anyone care to enlighten me?

  • We’re including mobile games too, right?

    Monument Valley

  • Pornin'

    I am going to look for opportunities to use this word in casual conversation. Granted, I don’t get into many conversations about porn, but it’ll happen eventually.
