At least you did it after the logic-error was corrected…

Someone’s watched too much “Suits”…

Actually, “Frankenstein” Is the Name of the Asshole With Frankenstein at Shakespeare Theatre Company, Emily Burns updates Mary Shelley’s 200-year-old monster mash for the tech oligarch age.

(It also lead to this memorable headline on a review.)

Emily Burns created a stage adaptation that puts this take up-front by keeping Elizabeth alive and drawing parallels between her and Victor’s child and the monster.

I thought it was a fairly brilliant reframing, while keeping very much to the themes of the original.

There’s also some number of them that you don’t really want involved in the process.

Dixon should have been fairly compensated for The Dark Knight Rises, but I am extremely skeptical that his input would have improved the movie…

The CGI was created on a computer with 2 MB of memory and animated by pointing a film camera at a CRT as individual frames were displayed.

It’s basically a technological miracle that they were able to use CGI at all…

“…people whose ancestors fought in the Civil War have a hell of a lot more claim over America than the people who say they don’t belong…”

So, descendants of people that were willing to kill to leave the country have a stronger claim than descendents of people that risked their lives to come here?

One thing I don’t get about LLM-fever is how these people think industries will work once you’ve eliminated all of the “junior” positions? Where will the future “senior” people come from?

“Jamacha,” local pronunciation is “ham-uh-shaw”.

It’ll all be worth it once you’ve built the golem…

Is it even a door? It looks to me like he walked into a window, like a not-particularly-bright bird.

Galacta doesn’t exactly have a lot of experience with healthy parent/child relationships.

It’s also worth noting that, since this happened in Florida, the entry and exit were made in *crocodile-infested* waters.

“Adults should dress as adults” is a phrase that offends me by its very nature.

The past-tense in this question is probably, and unfortunately, optimistic…

Fair.

But given the preponderance of mundane horrors these days, I find that the occasional eldritch horror makes for a pleasant change-of-pace.

Reese’s Oreo packaging, showing Reese’s cups that are milk chocolate on the bottom, white chocolate on the top and contain a layer of peanut butter and a layer of chocolate cookie crumbles.

The inverse also exists…

I will forever maintain that Larry Hama’s much-maligned “implanted memories” background for Wolverine was actually brilliant. It gave writers a framework that they could use to tell any story about his background, even if they were contradictory, while still maintaining the mystery.

This reinforces my belief that the ascendancy of “shareholder interests” above all other priorities for corporations has done immeasurable harm to society.

(But, also, I acknowledge that I have skills they don’t*. Building digraph applications may not be widely appreciated, but it is useful.

* Randall Munroe being the exception. I just assume there’s nothing he can’t do. Some people don’t know when to quit.)

But, in my opinion, the healthy response to that is to gain a deepened appreciation for people that have a knack and/or spent the effort to develop the skills, not to steal from them.

I came to terms with the fact that I’m not an artist some time ago. I don’t have a feel for it and I don’t enjoy doing it enough to develop the skill to overcome that. And that’s okay.

There’s an interesting internal pivot when you go from looking at xkcd and thinking “I could do that” to looking at the same strip and realizing how far your ability Munroe’s strips actually are.

I just realized that Jim Lee cribbed the WildC.A.T.s backstory from Transformers…

I know Amazon launched Amazon Pay in 2007, when their revenue was in the $14B range (which is nearly 3x Valve’s 2024 revenue, though Valve’s profit margin is almost certainly better), but I can’t tell if they were handling their own processing internally before that.

Do you have any sense for at what point being your own payment processor makes sense?

Obviously, itch is way too small, but I would think Valve’s in the neighborhood.

(Please don’t do any research, I’m just wondering if you have a top-of-your head idea.)

I’m not sure if this is meant to address the events of issue 9 or 11, but if it was 11, I think you need to re-read it.

To be fair, Le Guin should be required reading for full participation in humanity, not specifically before you enjoy other SFF…

Jubilee IS a younger X-Man, I remember her first appearance, when I was… ::crumbles to dust::
