there is no doubt in my mind that state DMVs banning kei cars for being "unsafe" compared to large SUVs is because car manufacturers don't want people learning that smaller and cheaper cars are an option. "kei cars aren't safe on roads with big trucks" THEN BAN THE FUCKING TRUCKS KILLING PEOPLE

Weird how there’s all these Alien sequels and prequels and no one has ever thought to do one set after Aliens. Wonder what Ripley, Newt and Hicks are up to these days. Newt must be, what, 50 now?

Fossil fuel companies should be the villains in everything. Political ads. Spy thrillers. Sitcoms. The female lead's crappy boyfriend in a rom com should signal he's crappy by doing PR work for Exxon.

I remember when someone was saying, "when men write women badly, she is basically a prop in the story not a character. A sexy lamp." And lo. The torment nexus

Do you love xenomorphs? Sure, we all do, and that’s why it’s important to remember Bolaji Badejo’s performance in ALIEN. The way the creature moves, the impending doom in xeno physicality through one manifestation after another, we owe that to Badejo.
