I'd be interested in knowing what you think of that high pressure air duster.

In the classic universe, Mysterio created technology to create illusions. So anything you see in the trailer might be an illusion.

The Political Thread - Burlamaqui edition
I think its borrowed from late Latin. "C" represents /k/ when before a, o, u and consonants. Should be soft "c" /s/ before e, i, y. Some variation exists due to borrowing from French (UK sceptic). K is then used to show a /k/ sound before e, i and y. K is usually used at the end of words (or ck) for /k/, with a few exceptions (like 'arc').

TV's Vast Wasteland
If you ask them, the answer is yes. Even the porn industry was created by aliens. It's the watch it to be entertained, see what can be great visuals of rather obscure parts of the world, want to scream out that a hypothesis is not proof, and ponder on if they just have a massive inferiority complex because humanity has apparently achieved nothing on its own, merely by the aid of something else. I also like watching this show, but @Raithe you hit it right on the head. Massive inferiority complex. The aliens are everything, we are nothing. And the cliche subtext: they are going to save us from our own stupidity. I always wonder, if we couldn't have evolved naturally and someone else had to have created us, then why not the same for the aliens? So who created them? Older and more advanced aliens?

Yeah, I'd never heard that one either and suspect it wrong, but didn't try to research it.

The Athenaeum - Reading updates and Literary Review from the Obsidian Elite (this means you)
I knew Martin "Six Million Dollar Man" Caidin had written some military history / WWII books, but wasn't familiar with that one (apparently largely based on interviews Sakai did with journalist Saito)

More Funny than ever (funny stuff topic)
I'd be suspicious of the "information" found here, and for information found on the twitter site it references as there's no real 'fact checking' done. For example slang does not mean "short language", its actual etymology is unknown (some posit a Scandinavian origin, while OED disputes this) and Tag's etymology is from Scottish 'tig' which itself probably comes from Middle English 'tek' for touch or tap. Glancing through the linked twitter page I see some other errors like the etymology of the brand name Adidas (its from the founders name, Adi Dasseler not "All Day I Dream About Sports"). While scalp does have a mnemonic that makes it easy to remember, its etymology is from Middle English Skalp or Scalpe, neither of which match the mnemonic And finally while the bear that Winnie the Pooh is partially named for was female (she was named for the city of Winnepeg), Winnie the Pooh is referred to in the books as "he".

TV's Vast Wasteland
While I do want to see this, I'd like it if this series does so well that someone finally releases the 1978-78 series PROJECT U.F.O. based on the same infestigations too.

HBO isn't a guarantee of quality anymore but Jeremy Irons is? Mind you, I'm saying this as a Jeremy Irons fan.

What are you playing right now?

I dunno, I think writers in the US used to be able to do the same. We just have Twitter now.- What did you do today?
kill your darlings? Although if you think they are well written but no longer work in the story, maybe move them to a different file rather than delete forever. IF you find a use for them, then you still have them - just not in a story they're no longer working in?- Cinéma vérité - and all other types
