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

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Quest for Glory

    Jump

  • That's clearly not the original text.

  • Guys vs Gals! (Sexual dimorphism in Barn Owls)

    Jump

  • I wonder if there are markings on there in infra/ultra wavelengths that they can see but we can't.

  • Mechs shouldn't have heads

    Jump

  • Carcinization rears its cephalothorax again!

  • Hatred

    Jump

  • 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.

  • we can keep the carts though

    Jump

  • Wait, why aren't we supposed to talk about dog parks?

  • Satire rule

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Insiders Spill on Stephen Miller’s Daily Yelling Meltdowns

    Jump

  • Steve Bannon looks like if a pile of laundry from a cheap Vegas motel soaked in piss, liquor, and gas station meth wished that it would become a real boy.

  • These glasses solve many central-vision problems. For $5000.

  • 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.

  • A. The Princess Bride. More likely a spinoff with Inigo becoming the dead pirate Roberts

  • I did not care for the Godfather

    Jump

  • This video makes some great points about how movies don't feel real anymore. Digital color grading is part of it, but the very short version is that movies don't give us the sensory information or speak to us in the visual language that we need to feel like the movie is real. Watching the video gave me a whole vocabulary for how to critique failings in modern movies.

  • What the FVCK is calculus?

    Jump

  • Yeah, assuming that a yard is meant to approximate the stride of an adult human, who's the Goliath-sized motherfucker with the 5' 3" stride who took a thousand steps and called that a mile?

  • Denmark in ‘crisis mode’ as Trump sets sights on Greenland after Venezuela attack

    Jump

  • This is a distressingly realistic take. The vast majority of human beings don't want to be the one to start a fight, and the psychopath class that exists at all levels have used this generally agreeable human trait to leverage "I'm not touching you!" into fascist takeover because nobody wants to be the one to throw the first punch.

  • Woman Arrested Mid-Interview After Protesting Against Trump’s Venezuela Strike

    Jump

  • How paraphrased are we talking, here? Because I'm pretty sure laws like "Don't murder" and "Don't rape" and the ability to punish people who break those laws aren't just an expression of one socio-economic ethnic group maintaining violent occupation over another.

  • Solid advice.
