I'm curious why you like these so much as titles. Tastes differ, but in my opinion, "A Scanner Darkly" is the only standout winner here. Without knowing anything of what the story …

Nice and fun. Have you considered points of interest, photos from open sources like Panoramio or Creative Commons search, links to Wikipedia articles? Sometimes I get stumped and I…

From the other perspective, I’ve also wondered about what it would mean to have a union for international remote employees. Unions for tech workers are rare but if you’re working f…

The film The Caine Mutiny helped inspire the 25th amendment to the US Constitution. That's based on a book, so even if you want to narrow it to literature, it still works. https://…

I'm not an expert on MMT, nor a proponent. I don't have a sufficiently informed opinion to say whether it's good or bad. But, I think what the US government is doing isn't MMT. MMT…

Some context here on "fag" / "faggot" In some cases Quinn seems to be bantering with her gay friends. Quinn is queer herself. In other cases she is calling out some 4chan person, f…

The Appelbaum case is really tricky. But I think the world does need some context here. I have a lot of friends in common with Appelbaum. When you first meet him, he seems like the…

You don't know what you are talking about. Appelbaum's personality is such that he flaunts his departures from the norm for all to see. But polyamory is extremely common in the sec…
