They’re saying that there is no second season in Ba Sing Se. M Night Shyamalan never directed an Avatar film. The Indiana Jones series contains only three movies.

Man, imagine if they were all turned into worker’s co-ops…

Should definitely be in the “penguins” zone.

I feel like the thing we are all missing is this: what on earth is the writer of the second note doing in a classroom where the kids have to have the ABCs plastered on the wall?

Ben Whishaw is a really good actor, but he’s very typecast. I wonder if he’ll break the mold here.

I think you need to reread the post. The pasta is very clearly the lesser of the two by value.

Be very careful with “let’s bar all felons from office”, because then, all one would have to do is Trump up charges against their political rivals (something made far easier when the entire justice department is at your beck and call).

Faraday’s lab was at the RI.

Yeah, Ray Porter killed it in the audiobook. Though Ray Porter kills it in everything he reads. If you liked PHM, take a listen to the Bobiverse series.

Only if your class has access to speak with dead, and you’ve chosen it as a spell known/prepared.

Definitely read the book. The book is about the existential elation at discovering a solution to a dire problem, so knowing poorly a communicated versions of every solution will likely ruin the book for anyone serious about the hard Sci-Fi.

All good! I still appreciated it, but I felt like I was missing some level of implied depth.

While Webb, by contrast, presumably talks more often out of his ass? Or was there some other organ which you were implying was from whence the subtitles should be flowing?

Yeah, I thought it was “Shoulder of Pork and Ham”

I came here to say almost precisely this. Thank you

You know shit’s fucked when The King In Yellow, the very manifestation of the idea that knowledge can kill, is having to defend the value of education.

Ever day we stray further from god toward lost Carcosa

Is there a particular reason why the artist decided not to include the one thing which would conclusively define the skyline of Alexandria at that time? You know, the part that was one of the tallest structures in the world, and which was known as one of the great wonders of the world? You know, the thing that literally stood out on an island, in order to make sure that everyone in a hundred miles knew that that was where Alexandria was?

Like, yeah, this is aimed toward the moon gate, and you can see the Serapeum, but it seems like they purposefully picked a vantage point not to include the Pharos.

If you didn’t have plate tectonics, you’d have a lot of problems with the atmosphere, and there’s a decent chance that life wouldn’t evolve, as the energy differentials generated by tectonic activity are those which life hangs onto, from nutrients, to oxidation, to geothermal heat.

Given Europe’s own demonstrated islamophobia and treatment of asylum seekers, and the various genocides going on in east Asia at the moment, I hardly think that we Americans are alone in that regard. The primary difference being that the American Mythos props up America as this place where everyone should be ready to take up arms to protect their rights and the rights of others, and we’re getting to see precisely how hollow such fantasies truly are.

It reads a lot like timecube.
