hell, if they have to do remakes, why not something interesting, like a remake of Fantastic Voyage!? Azimov even wrote second version of that story that would be perfect for a new movie

I had a long but, unfortunately, pointless conversation with a MAGA guy once, explaining that "liberal" was the same root as "liberty", which is synonymous with "freedom", which was the banner word he was touting... but he simply refused to abandon the third-order meaning attached to the word...

how is it that he doesn't simply burst into flames as he spews these blatant lies??

well if it's an aeromatic neurotoxin, its proper place is in cleaning products and laundry fragrance, isn't it?

Julius Caesar was the first Roman to put his own living face on coins, weeks before his death. It is one of the deepest cultural signifiers of something autocracies do and republics do not.
