Savage Love Readers Talk About The Campsite Rule As some of you no doubt know, I'm a huge fan of <a title="Savage Love" href="http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/SavageLove">Savage Love</a>, the world's coolest sex, love, and relationships advice col...

I think that a lot of that desire (and yeah, I had that too as a teen) is wanting/hoping that they’ll apply Dan Savage’s campfire rule.

I'm not a hipster trust-fund socialist, but I'm willing to learn. Is there a special school or something?

It's 1985. I'm thinking about just beaming Rorschach to a really good therapist, not like the one he saw in jail.

It's 2015. I'm reviewing Rorschach's Reddit posting history.

It's 1985. Never mind.

Well, I sure am now!

Really wondering how large the set of "people with whom you'd be comfortable playing this with, but for some reason not just having real sex with" is.

The MCU got it right that Ant-Man would be ideal for this sort of thing. Cap, too, as long as he put on a more subdued suit--he probably did a bunch of cloak and dagger stuff in WWII. The rest, not so much. (Silverclaw, maybe, since she's a shapshifter, but also... very shiny?)

That’s what the last GOP governor of Illinois did.

In all seriousness, it was sabotaged by a) Berman and Braga being burnt out (Berman wanted to take a year off after VOY and was told that he’d lose his job), and b) UPN starting its controlled descent into terrain. If they’d put it into syndication, it could have gone for seven years.

Wu's economics and business understanding aren't any better than her politics. People working for an establishment that has their family names on it don't necessarily own it any more in the present day than they would in a post-scarcity society.

You can smell the desperate click-chasing in the Delta Quadrant.

The Star Trek Concordance was the first _real_ ST reference book. (The Technical Manual didn't count; it included a ton of non-canon speculative stuff, although it was generally well-done.)

The Frock of Frottage

Somewhere, a single sunbeam shines brightly on @foldablehuman.bsky.social as "O Fortuna" starts up in the background

Well, that sure puts a new spin on "Ballroom Blitz."

I still think that we shouldn't discount the Delta Quadrant theory: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_37%...

I'm not sure if that's the #1 most astonishing and simultaneously most believable thing that I've ever read, but it probably is for today.

This is this generation's version of the "Choose Life" monologue from Trainspotting.

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only

Was that a Marvel Team-Up?

Yes! Aside from the interminable monologues, the Jerry Springeresque “here’s your secret relative!” recurring plot device is one of the things that soured me on Claremont.

Alan Davis at his peak. And, given how much of Excalibur is based on the Captain Britain run by Davis and Alan Moore, I’d argue that Moore is one of the most important writers of the X-Men, by proxy.

That might very well be true about the tail end. I noped out well before that, having suffered through interminable panels of characters monologuing at length about their feelings, as if Claremont had forgotten that comics were a visual medium as well as textual.

Bonus: Claremont's writing went steadily downhill after Byrne left. Say what you will about Byrne, no other collaborator seemed to have the will or ability to rein in Claremont's worst tendencies.
