SpaceX Successfully Launches Toward ISS →
This is just immensely exciting. After NASA’s problems with its original vision spanning, let’s face it, the last few decades, the rise of commercial space exploration is a new flame of hope. I’m an eternal optimist, so excitement for humanity and its future rarely wanes, but it’s operations like this which edge that optimism closer to reality. Whatever happens down here,...

Just watched this film and it was an absolute revelation. Human, funny, sad (gotta admit, I was crying there a few times. Luckily the really teary bits occurred when my housemate went to the shops so I had time to re-man after it happened) and ludicrously uplifting.

Regarding superhero films
One thing I always find myself asking: do these supervillains who horribly transform themselves to better embody their evil just not care about getting laid ever again? Are they not thinking, ‘yeah ultimate power’s pretty ace, but is it appreciably better than sex?’ If I were hugely evil with the power to transform myself into an agent of power, this would be a big psychological...

There once was a dude named Charlie, Whose poems, they didn’t rhyme. Also he never finished anything and his timing was off.
