  1. Child COVID cases are on the rise, jumping 32% in latest surge ARSTECHNICA.COM Children account for 25% of cases but only 22% of the population.
  2. Is the Times unionized? Is he going to go back to saying no union because you're all a bunch of lazy deadbeat moochers?
  3. Because oh my god Becky there was a BLACK MAN walking outside my window tonight who knows WHAT he was up to? faints onto couch
  4. Like, the Catholic Church wasn't exactly wrong to keep everything in Latin on the basis of the common man being too fucking stupid to interpret the bible for themselves.
  5. It's not even messaging. Read the article I posted. Being "true" to the original story just wouldn't come across right today no matter how much they beat you over the head with the whole unwilling experiments angle--it's not really possible to be "true" to the source nowadays because as the new actor says it would just come across as a weird Crying Game callback to modern-day audiences. Look at the female miniskirt uniforms in Star Trek TOS. In 1966 it was very clear to contemporary audiences that it was a pretty radical feminist statement to portray professional "military" women as not having to choose between their miniskirts and their careers. Whereas 50 years later we're so far past the mentality of that time period that it just comes across as exploitative of the actresses, and I don't think any amount of fourth wall breaking explanation would change that.
