Regrettably, 90s Trek romance has approximately three and a half settings, and 1.5 of those are "incel bullshit."

What's a boodle?

What's especially telling about this tweet is that they haven't read Frankenstein.

"Electricty! Magnetism!"

The book never explains how he brought the monster to life. It's just "I have figured out how to bring life! No, I won't tell you how - I don't want this mistake repeated. Anyway, MONSTER."

And hey, I don't need comedians to be unimpeachable academics, but I know for a fact there are folks out there who only know what a Punic War is because of that channel. If all it is is a funny voice filter step in a game of telephone, that's not... helpful.

And I don't mean in the sense of "oh, this obviously simplified comedy video covers the same historical period and so it's very similar," I mean if you scrub out the jokes, it's ONLY the documentary under there. Sometimes very nearly verbatim.

It's kind of yelling at a cloud to say this about a nearly five-year-old Youtube video, but it kinda sucks that like 54 million views' worth of people are going to get their understanding of Prohibition in America from Oversimplified's video, when it's a beat-for-beat rehash of the Ken Burns film.

hell yeah! glad it's still happening

"October 14. We arrived to reinforce General Bagpiper this morning, after a truly wretched march of seven blocks. To pass the homes of my countrymen so beset by this terrible war nearly drove me to tears. I saw only one violinist with a Bluetooth amp, so supplies must truly be stretched thin."

the clawing dread of going to the infirmary four times in a row and never getting rid of the status effect

Miyazaki: in this movie two young girls (one is a toddler) are uprooted from everything they know to start new lives near the rural hospital their mother is in; she is possibly dying of TB. Their dad works several hours away and they are largely unsupervised.

AI Bros: so homey! So comfy!

It feels a bit like a semiotics problem. Like yeah, when you zoom in sufficiently, can anyone really say that the true totality of one word's meaning to one person has ever been conveyed to another? Can you really say that a group shares even one complete intention?

It all comes out in the wash.

It's gotta be somewhere between Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla and Interplanet Janet

there are three goddesses because if there were just one she'd have no chance after the shit she pulled on that horse, no chance

Terrarium might actually be the quickest I've smash-cut from "we're so back" to "it's so over" in Star Trek history. I have a pretty high tolerance for "Hey guys, remember this? You love this!" fanservice, but making it LITERALLY the Metrons all over again? This is Bad Prequel Pitfalls 101 stuff.

It's 2015. Cartoon about horse girls is taking the world by storm.

It's 2025. Cartoon about horse girls is taking the world by storm.

And not a lot of people are asking themselves "who has the right to enact it?"

Cause there were a LOT of parties that were held when Osama bin Laden was killed, and not a lot of concerns about the moral implications of doing so.

Big sigh. Watch this.

Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?

No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

there's real beauty in emergent pettiness

slamming "fuck you" over and over again probably did not do many favors for my ultimate score

Within 20 seconds of logging in here I have seen someone saying that no kinds of curry can be considered British food and a different person saying that southern BBQ is the only food that is actually American and this site is cooking man we’re going to cause a new war of 1812 with this stuff

I don't know about impressing them, but my usual is a steak and cheese with green peppers, black olives, and roasted garlic aioli.

Granted, I don't usually have to kiss anyone on the mouth, and that combo might seriously interfere with anyone who does.

A still image of Kira Nerys from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. She is arming a futuristic brass-colored pistol. Her eyes are glowing ominously. The words SILENCE, COLLABORATOR run across the bottom of the image.

Standing on a broken, partially uprooted tree trunk, a man throws his arms wide and his head back with eyes closed. He holds a straight sword so the tip pierces the fat crescent of moon looming overhead in the lavender sky. His tunic is open to expose his chest. The fabric billows as the breeze catches it, and the tails of a red sash flutter. One sleeve is in tatters as are the lower legs of his pants. A gray wolf sits on the gnarled roots below him, extending its neck in a howl. The moon looms large overhead in crescent. In silhouette, a castle burns in the background sweeping trails of smoke across the forested hills.

Over the years, fans have asked why I depicted Fitz wielding a sword on the cover when his weapon of choice throughout the book was an axe. 1/4

i am indeed a goofy goober

Do you think God stays in heaven because he knows that they used to call me The Drift King back in college

I still think the Justice League episode Maid of Honor is a glorious example of flooding the zone to get shit past standards and practices. They get some serious innuendoes in, and I think the only reason why is they had S&P working overtime to claw back the homoeroticism (unsuccessfully, thank God)

They also came out of that tired received wisdom about "hard times/land make good soldiers," to the point that Duke Leto wanted people from a hard world because they'd be obviously superior.

I imagine that's why Herbert invented shields, too, since the classic answer to that fallacy is the gun.
