Pretty classic, right down to the super-racist Hirohito portrayal. Weird that this won an Oscar.

"feminist crumbs from a banquet that the film industry has not yet reached" I feel like a smarter superhero blockbuster would naturally be more modern (including feminist) in its outlook.

Cool, I played with the Plaid Hat guys in this article while at PAX East 2013.

Even if we do see a resurgence, there will be a lot fewer jobs available.

I think some people will be wearing to bear the added cost. I didn't realize the cost vs. China was near-equalizing, though.

I like the touch of having Ahnold do the "ice, ice baby" line every time.

I probably should see Planet of the Apes at some point, even though I know the ending.

I think that this makes some excellent points; I thought they were supporting protectionism at once point, but my mom thinks it's more of a call to consumers to buy American even when it costs a bit more, as a social good.

Crew's commercials weren't my favorite, but this has fun with them.

I'm very glad Ken has had a change of heart, and I hope some of his former constituents listen to him.

I really hope the fake geek girl thing goes away soon.

I think this is a good criticism of the recent VRA decision, and in reviewing the contents of the book introduced me to some history I didn't know about Reconstruction-era politics (even AP US History seemed to skip from Lincoln to Roosevelt).

Privatized gains, socialized losses. This is why we can't have unregulated free markets. People cheat.

Hard to believe how influential this guy has been. Doubt I would find the book all that interesting though.

Cool effect, and good musical choice.

I think it hits the right notes, but without concrete proposals I'm not sure it helps much.

Ahahah who needs context?

I'm still enough of a technological utopianist to disagree, but we do need short-term patches to support the people who are falling out the bottom.

Striking how video game references pepper the rebels' weaponmaking.

In some ways, it's an opportunity to build a new city - but a lot of people are going to be screwed in the short term.

The random dig at Apple seems unnecessary and incorrect.

This. "just because something sparks outrage doesn’t mean that it is outrageous" I saw a lot of misdirected outrage on Twitter when this came out. I plan to read the full profile article.

Not surprising at all.

This: "It's not usually the art's fault the brain it came out of is directly connected to an asshole."

I'm really looking forward to this movie. Turns out the resemblance to old NASA concept art isn't just chance - they had Syd Mead working on the set design.

I think the solution is, as usual, resilience, not locking down the academic networks.

Amazing, beautiful factory.

Probably a harmless way of avoiding Damn You Autocorrect situations.

Interesting counter to the benefits of a functional organization.

Cool effects demo. I don't think this is a fanvid, I think it's viral marketing.
