Unscientific, anti-American, and now idiotarian, a once great publication kicks in the afterburners in it's race to the bottom.
This is what going "full retard" looks like in print.

I think the world of Aspergers and other spectrum kids would be vastly improved if people generally would stop trying to get them to "act right." Put away the hammer, stop beating the square peg into the round hole, and things will improve dramatically.
I'm looking at you, teachers.
The truth of the matter is that the public school teachers of the USA (and Canada!) collectively lack the ability to teach basic reading comprehension, basic arithmetic and basic interpersonal communication. We know this because the victims of their incompetence turn up in university year after year, unable to read, count or speak coherently.
Google is probably seeking an "arrangement" with the national teacher's union. Slide them some money, make another front in the Anti-Trump Crusade.
If the Republicans are smart, they will de-unionize teachers and eliminate the federal Dept. of Education. Sadly, I know they're not that smart. They'll try to Make A Deal, and get slaughtered. Again.
I mean, seriously - 65 feet? You think that will stop somebody from taking a picture? That's bloody trivial, even with cheep lenses.
Even their original plans for a 300 foot ban would just mean the photographers would need to bring a different lens.

Have they figured out how to make it taste good?
I find it amusing that you put both Babylon 5 and Yamato (aka Star Blazers) into the same list. Crusade (the short-lived B4 sequel series) ripped off Yamato rather heavily.
Still, Babylon 5 was probably the best-written TV series ever made. Compelling characters, events that paid off months or even years later, and a security chief who is so badass that even 500 years after his death, you still can't mess with him.
You can't? Because it DID happen in North America with Babylon 5, and it's the normal way of doing things in Japanese TV, and I believe Korean as well.
You know, I gave up on X-Files when I realized that every episode was either a lame-ass government conspiracy episode (aka the main plot) or a monster-of-the-weak episode, where Mulder would almost invariably guess, based on virtually no evidence, exactly what's going on within the first few minutes of his entrance, with the rest of the episode being there to prove him right.
Exactly. Of course, both of those examples are known for creating artificial scarcity to keep prices up.
I made some forays into linux a while back for an ftp box, and dealing with the community could be rather painful.
The community has managed to develop a rather vocal core of self-righteous twits, in addition to the more subdued sane people, who probably outnumber them.
"No doubt this is the last we will ever hear of any of this."
You fool! You've doomed us all!
nothing says "i've been shot" like having a vibrator strapped to your chest.
The smart one is to build cars to control how fast you drive.
Every time you give the police more powers, they immediately abuse them in every conceivable way.
Seriously, how long does it take to get a warrant? Unless somebody's life is on the line right this second, we need 'em.
It's one of the few things that protects us from the police.
Work without a vision is slavery, Vision without work is a pipe dream, But vision with work is the hope of the world.
