You may think you love your family, but you don’t love them nearly as much as you’re going to love Heroin™!

Meanwhile, Super High Me is still 100% solid gold cinema.

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 has 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.

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?

I was deeply confused to see a bunch of Ferraris outside of some huge institution in the middle of Providence, Rhode Island. Take a high performance vehicle and put it in the most tightly packed, narrow, curvy-street urban area in America with the possible exception of Boston. Why don’t you go ahead and take a snowmobile to Hawaii, while you’re at it.

I had a quiet night to myself so I thought I’d crack open the copy of Samurai Shodown on my shelf that I’ve been staring at for a few years. I played some Shodown back in my ZSNES days, I bet I can dust off the old skills!
So anyway, three matches in and the computer has so thoroughly whipped me that I think maybe I could use a slightly more relaxing pace of game.
So I open up the copy of Metal Slug XX on my shelf that I’ve been staring at for a few years. I played some Metal Slug back in my ZSNES days, I bet I can dust off the old skills!
So anyway, a couple of levels in and the computer has so thoroughly whipped me that I decide to fall back to good ol’ Broforce. Nice relaxing Broforce…

The Dreamcast controller is ugly as sin but surprisingly comfortable to hold. It must have the widest delta between looks and ergonomics of any controller.

That’s a fair point. I forgot that some infinites are larger than other infinites.

There was a Superman: The Animated Series episode where someone put a bomb in Clark Kent’s car (or something like that) and it went off and the episode dealt with him having to come up with a plausible explanation for how he survived.

Cockroaches do a lot of litter cleanup out in nature. I worry about what might happen if they vanished. But those malaria mosquitoes can fuck right off to Hell as far as I’m concerned.

Down And Out in the Magic Kingdom, by Cory Doctorow:
This future history book takes place in the 22nd century, mostly in Walt Disney World. Walt Disney World Disney World is run by rival adhocracies, each dedicated to providing the best experience to the park’s visitors and competing for the Whuffie the guests offer. In the post-scarcity world of the novel, Whuffie is a currency-like system that primarily measures the esteem of others, or in the case of extremely low Whuffie, their disdain.

The beauty of using uranium as currency is that if anyone hoards too much of it, the problem takes care of itself.
