I think that one of the reasons nerds hate Avatar so much is that it exists and is wildly successful pretty much entirely outside of The Discourse, and so is proof that the Age Of The Geek is not the dominant and enduring cultural epoch they want and believe it to be.

I don’t understand the “oh, you have a LINE on a GRAPH, you think that MEANS anything?!” people who also self-id as some kind of socialist/communist. how exactly are you going to run the command economy, dude? macroeconomic policy made on vibes?
I don't think this a particularly accurate description.
It literally isn't.
A survey is an unscientific method of gathering information that is often delivered by a system that has gamed the very survey to give the results they desire.

I think Star Trek endures because it encompasses all of the fundamental storytelling archetypes: Man vs man. Man vs self. Man vs computer. Man vs sexy lady. Man vs cave. Man vs God. Man vs lizard. Man vs tribunal. Man vs Abraham Lincoln. Man vs ghost. Man vs boss. Man vs doctor. Man vs rock. Man vs

No, this is wrong, stop reposting this absurd and miscalculated meme.
It assumes Cratchit is working a 40 hour work week (he isn't) and that straight line inflation extrapolations over centuries are valid (they're not) and fails to understand both Victorian class and household finance.

New: @theins.press saw the Witkoff-Dmitriev plan six months ago in draft form—except it was all Dmitriev. Bloomberg reports now Dmitriev told Ushakov he’d pass along a Russian plan and the Americans “can present it as their own”: theins.press/en/politics/...
Made in Moscow: The “U.S. peace plan” for Ukraine was substantially formulated months ago by Kremlin operative Kirill Dmitriev
Since it was first published on Nov. 20, the much-discussed 28-point plan for ending the war in Ukraine has borne all the signs of a Kremlin information operation. In fact, many of its most controvers...

Gremlins are only able to come back because Hulk Hogan is gone now. Say what you will about him, and yes what a complex and problematic legacy, but the fact is he stopped them 35 years ago and I simply don't believe that it's a coincidence they're coming back now.
