Where is Google's blogger? Not here, I guess: [link]
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.
Jackal has done his (hers?) and it's up.
Right first time.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
If I was Russell Brand I'd make a joke about your dinkel. And then kill myself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The fact that exceptions exist doesn't make the categories useless
What you said was:
When we identify someone as a member of a particular race, we are describing real things about them
And I disagree. I think you're describing statistically probable things about them. That's a distance from real.

"Don' be e-scared"
Um, my show's about a race... does that make me on-topic?

No.
Also, I keep having the Team American: World Police song "Aids" in my head.
In fairness, the word(s?) are quite easy to remember.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
It's thread drift. So it's like, DRIVE: MINEARVERSE DRIFT.
I'm fired.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Tim, if you don't mind me asking (and I'm risking actually being on topic here) - what was the genesis of the Drive script? Did Ben come to you with it already written, and you worked on tidying it, or was it a developed-from-concept between the two of you?
I remember with things like "Billy", I could spot which bits were written by you and which bits were by Jeff. But that's because I'm a giant e-nerdling.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
It's thread drift.
It's what happens when threads grow up, you're not a fresh young novelty anymore -- you've reached thread puberty.
