  • I read a lot of the Hugo Award short story collections and it's a great way to get into sci-fi. They're usually pretty good if not excellent. If you like the author's style, you can go out and look up more of their work. If you don't, not a problem, it's just a short story anyway.

  • I'm old enough to remember Bush v. Gore. Arguing against stupid motherfuckers who advocate against voting, or voting third party when the vote is split 49%-49%-2%, is one of the few internet fights I'll still let myself get dragged into.

  • What is the actual worst TV series you've ever tried to seriously engage with?

  • The Mayfair Witches.

    Interview with the Vampire is fantastic, and AMC paid a lot of money for all of Anne Rice's IP, but Mayfair was doooogggggshiiiiiit.

    Still hyped for IwtV season three, though.

  • Civilian review boards. Abolishing qualified immunity. Abolishing the practice of cops getting fired for some fuckery but then getting new cop jobs in a different district. Abolishing civil forfeiture. Disarming cops except for highly specialized and carefully managed units. Training in de-escalation and enforcement of its use. Employment of mental health crisis agents when armed cops aren't warranted. Abolishing no-knock raids.

    These are just the policies I could think of off the top of my head that would go a long way to improving the police problem. I imagine there are tons more. We could try to implement any or all of them and see immediate improvements. But instead people go straight to "abolish the police / ACAB," and suddenly there's no such thing as a discussion anymore, just pro- and anti- groups screaming at each other.

  • I mean, let's be honest. I've had almost this exact fantasy about some real shitheads that I've dealt with. The trick is to allow the dark thoughts to come and go and not let them come out and really start causing problems.

  • Riker and Troi were in a big deal relationship before the events of TNG, and there's a scene later in the show where they are talking about their respective relationships and giving each other advice and I find that quite wholesome. It's not always easy or even possible to break up with someone and remain in contact, let alone friends, but it can happen under the right circumstances, and it's nice to see a depiction of a breakup that doesn't have to turn into enmity.

  • Sad Ganymede noises

    Jump

  • Also they shouldn't have called the category of "things that aren't planets despite being in some ways planet-like" "dwarf planet," they should have called them "planetoids." Star Trek had been referring to small planet-like objects as planetoids for decades, so the work in the popular consciousness had already been done. Dwarf planet not being a planet makes it sound like they're saying dwarf people don't count as people, and I don't care for that at all.

  • What's a standalone movie that deserves a good sequel?

    Jump

  • Smith: Things have changed. The market's tough. I'm sure you can understand why our beloved parent company, Warner Brothers, has decided to make a sequel to the trilogy.

    Neo: What?

    Smith: They informed me they're gonna to do it with or without us.

    Neo: I thought they couldn't do that?

    Smith: Oh, they can, and they made it clear they would kill our contract if we didn't cooperate.

    Everything you need to know about the movie. I strongly suspect that Lana Wachowski deliberately made the movie as dogshit as she could plausibly get away with so as to properly kill the franchise once and for all, or at least until she's dead and someone else can try to pick up the pieces and reboot the whole thing in a few decades.
