All Anna May Wong will be rebogged, but this is especially great.

I’m absolutely down for defending the first-class status of genre fiction that boldly goes where no or few stories have gone before. But if you think that working science fiction and fantasy relieves you of your obligations to coherent plotting and character behavior, or if it’s an engine to deliver free naked ladies, then you can stay in your mom’s basement, and off my bandwagon.

Alyssa Rosenberg, in Damon Lindelof’s Blithe Treatment Of ‘Star Trek’ Sexism And Why Genre Fiction Gets No Respect (via themarysue)

My thoughts were a) why?, and b) don’t you realize you just pissed off a lot of Star Trek fans, many (most?) of whom are grown ass women?  If you’re going to slavishly (and third-ratedly) imitate the 60s show, maybe just have Kirk hit on her (like he does every other woman) and get schooled.  That might have actually been funny.

(Also, I read this article yesterday, and it’s real good.)

Daft Punk ft. Julian Casablancas | Instant Crush

Plan 9 Channel 7 I  The Damned

My vague understanding is that this song is about the (imaginary) doomed romance between Vampira and James Dean.  Which makes it all the more awesome.
