“And besides, even if the commercially successful films saved the franchise, Trek’s true home has always been television. The cinema demands what Abrams delivered: action, suspense, drama. But it’s less well-suited to the signature thematic project of the franchise: to depict, in a sustained way, life in a better tomorrow.”

Matthew Yglesias watched all of Star Trek and hopes for its return to television.

So, your son gets into Minecraft and the next thing you know you’re making Minas Tirith.

It’s a thing that happens.

My son is home sick and made this fortune teller. The fortunes are:

Sexy

Zombie behind you!
Justin Bieber is stupid

I said “You certainly are 9.” To which he replied “Yep.”

“

Yet psychologically, we all — all of us – have this dramatically different response to a senseless death when it is an 8-year-old in Boston, vs. when it’s an 8-year-old in Fallujah. That flies in the face of almost all of our ethical worldviews, yet it is an inescapable psychological phenomenon.

It’s like, we all know that this thing is wrong — this vacillation between caring and uncaring on the basis of arbitrary things like distance and nationality — yet we all do it anyway.

“Like Georgians actually have this conversation: “Well, dang it all, Sue Bob, you know I love y’all and I’d marry you if’n I could and make an honest woman of you and your four kids by four other different men that you met at the bowling alley, but, see, my best friend Cooter needed that hernia surgery. And he didn’t have no insurance because that Obamer fella done ruint The Best Healthcare System In The World with that socialism stuff. So me and Cooter, we got gay-married so my insurance would pay fer fix’n his balls. Bros before Ho’s, darlin’. Now me an’ Cooter was gonna get us an annulment right after the surgery, but the preacher wants us to try couples counseling first and see if’n we can maybe work it out…””

Tumblr, this is fucking stupid. There are some objectively disgusting themes in Theme Garden, including my own, and Geoff’s is better than a large majority of them.

texburgher:

So I made a Tumblr theme.

And it’s pretty sweet, if I do say so myself. It’s simple, and it’s responsive, and it tends to important details that a lot of themes miss. I like it!

I had intended to sell it for money so I could feed my family, but HA! as it turns out that’s not going to be an option! I’ll write more about why later, because the story’s worth telling. For now, though, suffice it to say:

FREE RESPONSIVE TUMBLR THEME! ENJOY!

I use and endorse this theme. I think it is beautiful and simple, and it covers an impressive amount of the distance toward fixing or abstracting all of the ways Tumblr makes attractiveness and responsiveness difficult. People pay for things like that.

And Geoff is my friend, and that’s cool.

I also use and endorse Geoff Barnes.

Me: No, that sounds too dangerous. You're a little young for that.
