  • I remember Wil Wheaton saying this in The Guild, but was he also quoting Rand at the time?

  • Laura Loomer's response to Lindsey Graham urging Trump to ditch her? 'We all know you're gay'

  • In 1971, Rep. Tom Moore, Jr. of Waco, Texas sponsored a resolution commending Albert de Salvo for his unselfish service to "his county, his state and his community." That resolution read, in part:

    This compassionate gentleman's dedication and devotion to his work has enabled the weak and the lonely throughout the nation to achieve and maintain a new degree of concern for their future. He has been officially recognized by the state of Massachusetts for his noted activities and unconventional techniques involving population control and applied psychology.

    Albert DeSalvo had another claim to fame.

  • Was it ever made canon that the old Klingon "gods" were a spacefaring race that conquered the still plabet-bound Klingons with superior technology and were eventually overthrown? I feel like that might have been beta canon, or maybe just a very compelling fan theory.

  • There's that DS9 episode where Jadzia risks exile from Trill society to revisit an old relationship, and, if not necessarily trans, it reads pretty obviously as a queer allegory.

    Except double slashes makes the underscores disappear.

    So... it looks like adding a slash before the slash and before each underscore does the trick. Thanks!

  • You know, I think it's something with the formatting here where it makes the slash disappear. Not sure what syntax I'd need to use to make the whole thing appear properly.

  • Put phone down on wireless charger. Charging notification lights up. Go to sleep. Wake up. Check phone. Is at 2%. ¯(ツ)_/¯

    Fucking. Wireless. Chargers.

  • Morpheus is the only one we ever hear the battery analogy from anyway. He might well be wrong about that interpretation, and the brain processors are what's really going on.

  • Maybe you get "digested" in the sense that you get incorporated into the sarlacc's body, like it's using you in a parasitic sense. It makes you one of its internal organs, and it keeps you alive as it slowly uses you up over the course of a thousand years (assuming we take that phrase literally). I think acting as a gall bladder for an underground sand monster sounds like a fate worse than death.

  • In the book Dr. No, his briefing is "This important intelligence officer in the Caribbean has gone missing. Most likely he's run off with his secretary. Here's your gun. Go deal with this."

  • Motel of the Mysteries is basically this joke explored over 95 pages, lovingly illustrated by David Macaulay, the guy who did those black and white books Cathedral, Pyramid, Castle, and The Way Things Work, as well as others. It's hilarious.

  • What is the most quintessential 90s movie?

    Jump

  • For sure, the technology and fashion is all VERY late-90s. But the way that The Matrix informed SO many action and scifi movies to follow, and spawned so many cultural touchstones made it break containment.

    And then you've got subjects that it brings up, like mixed technophobia and technophilia, gender identity, anti-authoritarianism, and so on that are still at the forefront of our cultural awareness. The Matrix has stayed relevant and meaningful in ways that very few works have managed to.
