Going to zag where everyone else is zigging, Human Columbo on a Vulcan world. It keeps the basic dynamic of clever working-class person versus insufferable WASPs.

Randomly reminded of someone asking if the war was over between brunettes and blondes. The latter still carries major cache it seems.

Everyone in the Simpson's softball episode deserves to be in the Hall.

I need to read that newer Gerstle book.

I have a hard time imagining him on a plane for some reason.

People do like that Stranger Things

It's to the movie's credit that it nailed the War on Terror so well.

It's like how we have to remember that Starship Troopers waa about the *First* Gulf War.

Probably won't succeed but I think making the blanket argument that anyone who gave money to Trump that got a pardon should be prosecuted for obstruction of justice or something.

Anyways, fun series and it's a shame that it has become moribund with an unsuccessful repetition of the Reaper-type enemies in Andromeda. I wish we could bring back the cover shooter rpg with a better mix of discovery and conflict that unfortunately fell apart in this series. /End.

You do get that debate elsewhere with the Korgans, Quarians, and Geth. Far better to make the game about the kind of civil war that would rise from discovering dramatically new technology and how the Council sees fit to use it. /4

The actual game universe is all about the risks of using technology too fast and species rising and falling through panic and prematurity. Cerberus is a good enemy for that and something to play off but the Reapers thwart the opportunities for the game to have an interesting debate there. /3

More Thoughts: the Reaper plot is terrible in the later games because it's just not interesting. I don't care about the robots programmed to kill and arguing with the weird kid about it is unsatisfying. /2

Might be something you can sign up for in January when your resolve and willingness to engage in some productive self-loathing may be stronger.

Nixon crowned the Longhorns national champions in 1969, the precedent is there.

Gifted Kid Shit would be a good book that summarized Michael Lewis's oeuvre.

I am also excited for FNAF 2

For a journalist who probably wrote up all of her interviews on phones, seems doable. I had a student who kept voluminous notes all with their phone.

Weird how much I read him during my underemployed Great Recession days.

You know how visiting teams like to stomp on the logo before a game?

In Philly, they'll give you a barrel for free to do that.

That one woman complaining about how all that Holocaust education went awry was pretty revealing! She's right about the process but wrong to be dismayed by it.
