This needs to be added to every news report about anyone named. People knew about the guy for a long time, and they still did business with him because money and line go up.

I think that counts as Universal Sign Language.

You’re already doing your part. Keep up the Good Work!

Never mind then. The bots were the draw in the original. That and, of course, the acting!

Like the trickling down profits, one day the tariffs will happen. One day.

Somehow I forgot about that one. I don’t think I ever saw it.

Good definitely is subjective. I have Robot Jox in my library and it won’t be deleted until I’ve left this mortal coil.

This should say something. Instead, his fans will basically say, “that’s why I love him!” Completely missing the joke they just made at their own expense. Or getting the joke and not caring. Which, itself, is also a joke at their expense.

I think they need to march on Washington and demand the files be released. Go straight to the capitol building and just walk in like they did last time they didn’t get what they wanted. I mean obviously nothing bad happened las time because all those folks were pardoned because it was all a hoax. They weee peacefully touring the building.

Anyway, they should do that again.

Will probably pay for wi-fi. Probably some combination of TV shows, movies, and reading. And start the flight by trying to sleep as long as possible.

I think it illustrates why we teach history, and why we should always teach it as truthfully as possible. He wrote some genuinely good, arguably timeless, children’s books, and he was a human being who held some viewpoints that haven’t aged well. I don’t think it makes him a particularly bad person. Just a normal complex one. Besides, when we cancel people for effectively being a normal person of 50, 60, 70, 100, etc. years ago, it feeds the bullshit conservative message of a woke agenda. We should be smart enough to understand that people are capable of doing good and bad things.

Alabama voter: “Why TF are y’all takin ar Medicaid!? I mean I’m still gonna vote for you come next election cause I ain’t no liberal commie, but I’m really pissed at all this shit y’all are doin!”

This guy needs to be getting as much use as shocked picachu these days.

Adding in - if you watch the first season of the Amazon show, it’s pretty accurate to the books. The second season went off the rails a bit, but the recent season was alright (other than Anthony Michael Hall being a pretty one dimensional actor).

If that’s the reason why, I would skip it. They don’t spend a lot of time on it. Plus, in the early books there’s some unnecessary cringe parts where they felt the need to shoehorn “love interest” into the story. In general, they’re decent “boss battle” books. Easy reads that aren’t going to make you think. Beach reads for guys, I guess.

Stick to the road. Beware the moors.

I read all the Jack Reacher books a couple years ago, and one of the fascinating things about the character is his aversion to owning things. In some of the books, he talks about it a little and it’s an interesting insight to that worldview. I think they kind of stopped talking about it in newer books, and the character has gotten kind of less interesting because of it. At one point, he inherits a house, and that seems to become a minor trauma for him!

This is a reasonable approach, and probably the goal of most rational historians. All the famous people throughout history were all fallible humans. None of them were perfect. Someone recently asked me if Ben Franklin was “kind of a dick.” I told them he was a pretty successful guy in his time, so you probably wouldn’t have had to look very far to find someone pointing out how and why he was a dick. Didn’t diminish the other positive things he did. Just a reminder that he was human.

I would agree that it’s not socialism, but it is market manipulation. The US didn’t just bail out GM. Right now, AMD’s like, “WTF y’all!?”
