Hopefully this learns Hasbro a good one (it won’t)

Ms Nichols broke barriers in her role as Lieutenant Nyota Uhura in the series, becoming one of the first black actresses in the US to...

How did you manage to get one?

+ Pacing is much more coherent than 1984, the scene-to-scene transitions don't feel jarring at all Absolutely zero irritating Hollywood quips and one-liners. This movie is decidedly anti-MCU in feel (I approve of this wholeheartedly) Real flapping 'thopters! Nice chunk of Leto 1 Stilgar spits on the...

Detailed Vanity Fair piece from a few days ago. My highlights: While M$ is not commenting on the news, it may get harder for the tech giant not to address reports of Bill’s conduct, both in the office and outside it, as former employees who put up with what they describe as inappropriate workplace b...

re: Epstein and billg's lies about knowing and seeing him very frequently, the Times published in 2k19 on the topic and had to retract nothing. Mr. Gates, the Microsoft co-founder, whose $100 billion-plus fortune has endowed the world’s largest charitable organization, has done his best to minimize ...

It sounds like Melinda was skeeved out by billg’s deep Epstein ties and multiple jailbait flights. It cannot help that he had annual Ann Winblad vacations even after marriage. Other reports of misbehaviour have also emerged re: stripper and hooker pool parties in Seattle in the 80s and 90s. As an M$...

America and the UK are so weird. A national ID, fingerprinting and facial recognition is the bare minimum expected of a functional modern state. As someone who lives in such a fascist utopia (with bonus "race" and "religion" categories listed for convenience of discrimination) I...

As good students/historians of Sci-Fi we know the proper term is psychohistory!

Actually I was mostly siding with TRR here. Under Canuck law you don't require an actual child to be depicted in these images for it to be deemed child pornography I believe. e.g. lolicon manga would qualify and send you down for the full count. You shouldn't, because TRR knows sweet fuck all about...

re: paid moderator mental health and having fewer people die at their desks... How about an automosaic/blur filter for all of this unfiltered content? On the various UNIX/UNIX-like systems some hideous offensive raw user content like: https://ii.worldmarket.com/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi?FIF=/images/world...

I tend to oppose secession on principle, both because of my contempt for nationalism in general and because I prefer working to reform a country rather than abandon it to create multiple weaker, more isolated nations. Bro, wait, what? You don't like imperialist superpowers and you don't like weak, ...

This is like those vegan nuts trying to keep the hungry Dane (?) out of the Burger King

When the case finally came to trial last year, much of the four-day proceeding consisted of Nicolaysen, Roh's defense attorney, grilling ATF officials on arcane gun laws and regulations and the agency's internal decision-making process. After both sides presented their evidence, the defense filed a...

How much of this has come from the PRC as opposed to Blizzard trying to avoid what happened with the NBA? Excellent question. I'm pretty sure e-sports are still piddly compared to basketball, and I'm sure this was internal Blizzard nonsense, initially anyway. The Party is definitely aware of it now...

They are really taking it up the ass in social media now, and deservedly so.

#boycottblizzard is enormous on Twitter at the moment.

Already posted my review in the OT fantasy thread, on the topic of this thread, I think the studio made the right decision. Why pander to a ridiculous class of modern-era "critics" instead of avoiding their malign influence entirely and delivering this movie directly to audiences as-is? ED...

8/10 did enjoy

Gotta say Joaquin really put in work this film, the physical x-form is near-shocking and he's on-screen basically the entire run.

SB mods are shitheads man. I'm still waiting on my "Lee Fuxx You" account, that I made to celebrate the dictator's death, to get approved. Actually, on that note, why are there such a huge number of Singaporeans there? I wouldn't expect an Amos Yee topic to get to even 50 posts anywhere el...

Really interested to hear Stark's review (does he still post?)

Whoa we ran straight into off-topic land, but I for one would love a serious Syria thread.

There is a lot of insane bullshit to discuss given the sheer volume of factions and participants involved.

Heck just a Douma attacks thread would be nice.
