Could you provide a bit of context?

You all need to go out right now and read Helen DeWitt’s The Last Samurai (not related to the Tom Cruise movie). It’s the most criminally underappreciated novel that I have ever read, and I bring it up whenever people ask me for book suggestions. It is almost perfectly brilliant. Also, when you’re done that you should check out Gödel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter. It is one of my favourite non-fiction books.

He was a writer of extraordinary tenacity. Film criticism has lost its center.

Oh! Oh! Oh! I has memories! I saw the link posted on the group page for the anime club at my old university – which I still follow like a creepy creeping creeper. It was posted by an anime nerd who co-majors in business and philosophy. There – feel better?

If I remember correctly, I saw a link to a story about it on my Facebook feed. I can’t remember if it was a friend or someone who I followed who posted it.

Thanks for bumping, Dac. Alright, so since the release of the next season has been launched, this thread is back in business. A second thread was started because I thought that this one was locked, but we are going to migrate the discussion over here. Flame-eo!

Alright, so the old thread totally isn’t locked. I thought only stickied threads were lock proof. My bad. I suggest we take this conversation to the old thread.

I think you’ll need to fight Asami for her. And also me. And her seven evil ex-boyfriends. And also the entire internet. At least you have a long weekend coming up.

Since we now have an official announcement that the next season will be out sometime in mid-April, I thought that it was a good idea to kick off this season’s discussion thread. So, what do you all think is going to happen once the bending hits the fan?

@twistedmetalero Oh, so it’s a mustache war then, eh?

Behold: The mustache cup!

We even used it as the subtitle for the fourth pony general thread. I’ll throw up an entry and then see where it goes. Edit: Here it is. If you want editorship, just say so and I’ll add you.

He doesn’t shave. He just stares at the beard in a mirror until the hair retreats into his face.

I found something that should be useful here: a former soldier who had his spine severed in Iraq has published an open letter to Bush and Cheney online, which he says is a final attack on them before he takes himself off life support. You can read the whole letter here. I write this letter, my last letter, to you, Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney. I write not because I think you grasp the terrible human and moral consequences of your lies, manipulation and thirst for wealth and power. I write this letter because,...

Oh look, someone with the exact same name as me (but who totally isn’t me at all) osted something in the sub-reddit. I wonder how that happened.

Alright, I added a basic summary and a link to the article. This is looking really interesting. In 2013 Reddit user dont_stop_me_smee began posting images of a large safe that he discovered in a house that he had just moved into. The building had been a drug house before they moved in, which lead to extensive speculation as to what could be inside. The post was eventually spn off into a sub-reddit, which has accumulated over 60,000 followers. dont_stop_me_smee has said that he has hhired a locksmith to...

@Derpy Vazquez Nah, leave her alone. I think you’re getting your money’s worth.

Well, it’s not like we aren’t used to waiting for pony. Season 3 prepared us well for that.

I would buy an island somewhere in international waters and fill it with servers. Then, file sharing sites could pay to host there without fear of being shut down. Give the MPAA a heart attack.

You mean to tell me there’s been a furry thread on this site for months now, and nobody thought to tell me? For shame, KYM. For shame.
