Sorry there's been so many linkdumps and so little of everything else lately. I'll get back to business soon.
* Watchmen settlement reached!
* Top ten other science fiction films for the thinking man.
* Duke's "Hoof 'n' Horn" is running Superman: The Musical this week and next. Need I say more?
* It's a show I don't watch anymore, but nonetheless I'm greatly angered to discover that The Simpsons completely retconned the history of Homer and Marge's marriage. I'm aware it happened last year. WORST EPISODE EVER.
* 'The Turning Point: How the Susan Crawford interview changes everything we know about torture.' Via Matt Yglesias. More on torture at Glenn Greenwald. I still haven't decided whether prosecutions are better than a truth and reconciliation commission, but there has to be a reckoning.
* The headline reads, "History May See Lincoln-Like Greatness in George W. Bush." Suuuuuuure.
* The facts are in: college is expensive. Very expensive. How else could I make such mad bank?
