One thing we never talk about is how NASA was not allowed to fail in the same ways that SpaceX does. For NASA, they’ve been under a strict microscope of not wasting taxpayer dollars in their pursuits. The bar was always high. SpaceX has a lower bar, all while still using taxpayer dollars.

It feels like Peter David wrote more in a lifetime than you could possibly read in a lifetime and it's all at least pretty good. But this will always be what first comes to mind for me: the magic miracle of making erstwhile speedster Avenger Quicksilver relatable, and almost likeable, in X-Factor 87

Over the years, I've become disillusioned and detached from every hobby that I used to care about, either because of toxic fandoms or corporate malfeasance.

The scary truth about America is that, right now, anyone you know could be hiding behind a door or in a crawlspace to jump out and spook you. They could even be behind a curtain. Or even inside of some big barrels. And these are people you know very well. Family, coworkers, extended family.
