Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky This is one of Dostoevsky's earlier works and (some might say mercifully) much shorter than most of the...
El Nino is coming and it is going to fuck everything up. Things didn't cool down after the last one, and this will be another step change. I wonder...
Army of Evil: A History of the SS by Adrian Weale I'd rate myself as quite familiar with World War II, it's causes and so forth. But this seemed...
Is 'leave it the fuck alone' a fresh idea?
Death's End by Liu Cixin The third and final book in the Three Body trilogy, this is mostly more of the same from the Chinese author and as such a...
I'm a sci-fi nerd. It's not that good.
It might be better to stay away from such comparisons, lest it lead to uncomfortable conclusions for some. Ditto the use of white phosphorus.
Yeah, those guys absolutely covering themselves in glory. Again. They arrested people for having signs too.
That has become a bit of a trope, but I don't think it's true. Anyway, we're taking about his "journey to captain".
That wasn't Kirk's story until the reboot movies, which received plenty of criticism for it.
"Your father didn't believe in revenge." What? He's been in a bloody cycle of revenge that has lasted generations.
Sam Harris (yeah, I know) made a good point on his podcast. Tucker Carlon spent four years promoting Trumpism, and it's now been revealed that he...
Unfortunately a lot of people have bought into the idea that the CIA (and other parts of the security state) ought to be completely unaccountable and...
The CIA are cunts, and the media should be making a much bigger deal of this, but they are cowards.
Who said anything about forcing them to do anything? Obviously if they don't like Chinese proposals then they won't go anywhere.
Well, if one considers that perhaps the Ukranians are not about to roll back the Russian advances any time soon, and that the Chinese have a clear...
China are stepping up their efforts to broker a peace deal. Link This could be huge.
Some very good observations. The question demanding to be asked IMO is why the party system does not even remotely reflect the position of the voters.
^^^ That's fan made. Most of the shots are from the first movie.
Weren't there personal issues with other Avengers co-stars?
For your enjoyment. [media]
Just finished reading it, so BUMP. Link to my review: http://wordforge.net/index.php?threads/book-thread.97346/page-13#post-3470972 Rereading the...
The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by David Graeber & David Wengrow I was not that impressed with Graeber's Bullshit Jobs when I read...
The Good Drinker by Adrian Chiles Adrian Chiles is a sports and television presenter in the UK, a likeable sort of bloke. I first heard about his...
Rice global shortage coming. Best not require sacrifice of anyone though, least not the corporations!
Are you really so completely ignorant of the fact that climate change will - not very far in the future - be the very agent of people not being able...
Geoengineering will be moving up the agenda in the next few years, given how fucked we are.
Presumably you know something most don't, but his Wiipedia profile doesn't show him doing much work acting post-Voyager. Either way, one expects...
I'm still not seeing the keep them in cages/give them hard labour dichotomy. Surely if they are to be "kept", it can be in civilised conditions. Or...
The Klingon shit is unfixable and I don't want to hear any more convoluted explanations. Just get on with it.
Just watched it. The writing was terrible again but I can't really complain that much when I have so many goosebumps.
Is the OP an attempt at humour? Clearly hard labour is not the only alternative to cages.
Jesus wept. You still didn't properly read the sentence. Further, I have nowhere proposed "endless deficit spending" and one again specifically...
It sounded very much by how they were speaking prior to launch that this kind of thing was not at all unexpected. It's intriguing though. Does...
Sigh. Not for the first time, maybe you should read what you're responding to properly before doing so. Seriously. It would be much more productive....
The relevant contention here - which you do not address - is that the Clinton Administration running a public sector surplus required a private...
As one of those, I don't actually find it offensive at all, just a bit ridiculous. There have been a lot of those kind of tropes in Hollywood for a...
Hmmm...that's actually a good idea. Even if we have to suffer through Section 31 as the first of them.
Repeating obviously bullshit talking points about mental health and the rest is just a way of declaring that you don't give a shit.
Section 31 are boring. Georgiou doubly so.
Separate names with a comma.
