Re: Collaboration Between Artist and Audience
Yeah, and I think this is why we've often heard, "The book is better than the movie" or why people are so often disappointed by a movie not being faithful to the source material. Maybe it is faithful, just not interpreted the same way you did. If you're making up half the story in your imagination,...

Re: Collaboration Between Artist and Audience
I've heard a few people allude to this idea, but it strikes me odd that it is not more apparent and more discussed. Any time you read a piece of fiction, you are doing at least half the work in the story's creation. You read the words on the page, and if you're an interested participant (i. e. you ...

Potential 2024 ‘Chaos’: Election Deniers Refusing to Certify Results This seems to be a growing, dangerous and scary trend. Extreme Republican election officials throughout the country are simply refusing to certify election results they don't like, no matter how large the margin or how many recoun...

Re: 2024 Election Campaign MEGATHREAD
Of course, we've all known for quite some time the GOP will say whatever they think they need to in order to gain/retain power, but it's nice to see one of them admit it. Here is another surprising admission -- from the current co-chairman of the RNC, no less! RNC Chair Says Americans Are Better of...

Re: Which of you have already purchased an EV?
My daughter and her husband have two EVs. They love them. They are both working professionals and use them primarily for commuting to and from work. As long as they stay in the city (Phoenix) they are okay. As for longer trips, they are screwed. The range is limited. Charging stations are few and f...

Which of you have already purchased an EV?
If so, what kind did you purchase, and what is your overall impression of it? Do you still love it, or do you wish you never bought it? What, if anything, don't you like about it? I hope to own one before I die, when I finally find one I like in my price range. I have tried test driving a few, inclu...

Re: Perhaps the Best Evidence of Trump's Stupidity Yet.
Since he's probably still relying on his limbic cultists for paying his bills, and betting on being able to make all of this go away as President -- railing against his rape victim is probably calculated as a net positive to him. Of course! That much is almost certainly true! I still think he's stu...

Re: Perhaps the Best Evidence of Trump's Stupidity Yet.
I'd just like to point out that the best evidence Trump is stupid is Trump's whole life. But this here is a dead giveaway: “I just posted a $91 million bond on a fake story. Totally made up story,” Mr Trump said. “Based on false accusations made about me by a woman that I knew nothing about, didn’t...

Perhaps the Best Evidence of Trump's Stupidity Yet.
Trump risks another defamation lawsuit with renewed attack on E. Jean Carroll Despite recently posting a $91.6 million bond to appeal the case where he was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation, former president Donald Trump continues to defame writer E Jean Carroll. During a rally in Georgi...
