>Otherwise, a fight between two pregnant women could be seen as a mech fight. I mean, when you consider what pregnancy does to an expectant mother, hormonally, and the lengths to w…

Wing (and, by extension, 00) was a fine watch at 10, and G probably would have been, too. They're considerably less fraught in both iconography and philosophy than some of the othe…

Mecha fandom doesn't necessarily cross over with anime fandom (even though the former is arguably the origin of the latter). I find that there's more crossover with hobbyists (plas…

These complaints are always funny to me, because the "viewpoint diversity" referred to is usually right-wing rhetoric which not only already has a voice in NYT, but also has severa…

To say nothing of waste, even when everything goes right. Nuclear is the grandaddy of instant gratification traps. Moment on the lips, hundreds of millennia on the hips. I think we…

Between the sheer number of people getting axed in layoffs and the amount of, "Yeah I actually only do like 2 hours of work a day," boasts, it doesn't sound so farfetched. They're …

That's a bit of a leap. The argument is that the pain should be felt at the top as well as the bottom, as a function of the state of the company. The least execs could do is try to…

For many of us slogging away in retail or made unemployable by "5 years of experience"-ism, those were a barrage of "let them eat cake" moments. The delta between that quality of l…
