How about 20? Or 10.

You're right, of course. I was trying a little too hard to be clever and also to give props to a man who writes sentences like no other. The other members of that panel had every right to have their own reactions. As did everyone in the audience, and everyone else informed of the incident, for...

Samuel R. Delany's should be the last word on this. Because there's no one better with words in all of science fiction & fantasy than Chip (plus he has relevant lived experience and all...).

Well that looks delightful.

Thanks to you, I’m now going to refer to D.C. as The Lament Configuration.

Their attempts at marketing are... interesting. Like the center of a Venn diagram whose circles are 'press release' and 'evidence used in the prosecution of the perpetrator of a mass casualty incident'.

In New Jersey that's proudly advertising your desire to be found floating in the Hudson River.

It’s fine for food and carpets. I’d should have specified it’s… ahem... problematic when used to describe people. I gotta admit, though, whenever I see something like ‘oriental sauce’ on a menu, I takes a fair amount of willpower not to ask the server questions like “is it sauce for orientals...

I'd say it's like the word 'oriental'. Out-of-date, mildly-to-moderately offensive, but not really a slur unless deliberately used as invective.

For god's sake that word's part of the NAACP's name. It's in the title of Ntozake Shange's most famous play. It's anachronistic and no longer a preferred term, but unless it was used in the context of more racist speech, this seems like the kind of mishandled overreaction that can do real harm...

My current campaign setting is a 4000 X 450 mile arc of unbreakable magic material with about 3 miles of biosphere on top. It floats in a inky void along with a sun and smeary stars that look more like comets. The whole thing is a construct about 500 years old (so the legends go). It's inhabited...

Not all of DC. Just the Pentagon.

Is throwing them into an active volcano too off-brand for the Mythos? Maybe sinking them into the ruins of Atlantis (which, of course, would be painted with a big Elder Sign).

Slap some ears on Kirk and he can pass for a Romulan!

Star Trek isn't about scientific and technological extrapolation. It's just not that kind of science fiction.

All part of the charm.

I loved this one. 'Mystery contagion' is such a classic Star Trek plot, and the way Ghosts of Illyria combined it with multiple character reveals and an admission (then condemnation) of the Federation's prejudice toward the genetic modified made it feel new. But totally agree that M'Benga and...

I recommend South America - Argentina or Brazil!

Well this is certainly egg on Justin LaNasa’s face. Or should I say egg whites? Separated from the colored bits. Wouldn’t want to suggest any of that shameful egg-mixing was going on. It almost makes me wish he had a career in gaming to ruin.

I don’t watch shows I like as faithfully as you watch shows you hate, @bloodtide .
