We are not subjects of a State founded upon law, but members of a society formed upon revolution. Revolution is our obligation: our hope of evolution.

Imagine being so wrong about a sci-fi opinion you get publicly embarrassed by one of the greatest sci-fi/fantasy writers of our time. I would simply walk into the ocean.

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

Absolute fucking brilliant documentary. Some of the best camera work ever done. Alex Honnold is literally insane.

This is apropos of absolutely nothing but I have been thinking about best-of-quarter-century stuff and I still say that Free Solo, a documentary about climbing, is one of the five or at worst ten best horror movies of these 25 years.

The pair of agents restrained a woman on the ground as a crowd gathered near Pillsbury and Lake Street. Videos show them dragging her on the road towards their vehicle as protesters hurled insults and snowballs. The agents eventually left her in the street as they hurried to their vehicle.

21st century problems: some while ago Carplay updated and now the "done" button in Messages that used to turn into "don't reply" after a few seconds turns into "call" after a few seconds so if you go to dismiss it and aren't fast enough you end up in a phone call.
