Weirdly, season 4 of both Fringe and Eureka have a portion of the main cast shunted into an altered timeline and having to reconcile their original memories with their “new” histories, to varying degrees of success.

Travelers kinda inverts the premise in its second season, where a bunch of time travellers sent back to fix the past start seeing their superior foreknowledge slowly rendered useless by the fact that their mission is actually succeeding in changing the future.

Obligatory addendum that as a creation of Victor Frankenstein, calling the monster “a Frankenstein” is no more inaccurate than calling Starry Night “a Van Gogh,” or a 2003 Aztek “a Pontiac.”

…Let them fight, I guess?

As I understand it they prefer to be called the “Republic of Rötisseriye” these days.

Reverse image search eventually lead me to something called the “Pineland Resistance Forces”, which seems to have something to do with the Special Forces Qualification Course. Best I can tell, “Pineland” is the name of the fake country where the scenario for the training simulation is set, and the Pineland Resistance Force is the… fake guerilla team the participants are working with? The single article on the subject I kinda-sorta skimmed through wasn’t entirely clear.

That said, the Pineland Resistance Force flag is argent on the bottom and says “Liberty 1870”, but everything else is pretty much spot on.

tl;dr seems to be a US Army Special Forces thing.

“Rome News”? C’mon, is that it? When “Vōx News” is right there and everything?

And if, heaven forbid, it’s not either of those, it is now apparently acceptable to refer to it as a “clap back.” In the newspaper of all places.

Furthermore, as a creation of Victor Frankenstein, calling the monster “a Frankenstein” is no more inaccurate than calling Guernica “a Picasso,” or a 1996 Camry “a Toyota.”

I’ve found the venn diagram of those who most frequently try to get me to watch videos on their phone, and the people who watch said videos in a third-party browser on a device that supports extensions, is just two distant circles. Your mileage may vary.

For me it’s more that youtube videos are a browser with an ad blocker activity.

“Oh, sorry, man - first door on the left is the bathroom, first door on the right is the Nether hub. I always get those backwards…”

That’s either Hayao Miyazaki or Japanese Colonel Sanders, it can be hard to tell the difference sometimes

It’s Denis Villeneuve but I’ll be damned if that isn’t the least Denis Villeneuve-lookin’ picture of Denis Villeneuve I’ve ever seen

Might’ve even scuffed up the rocks, jerk.

I was under the impression it got a big hero moment in one of the new Jurassic World movies fighting some even scarier double-dog-T-rex but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna take the time outta my day to watch the movies and find out.

You mean the one that staged an escape during a widespread power grid failure, leaving countless innocents to die while it disappeared to lavish in its tropical island paradise? Only to return, inexplicably, in the sequel, pretending all of a sudden to be the hero?

Nah, that doesn’t sound like him at all!

Yeah but those don’t usually go unsolved for 150 years and it seems very unlikely that any of the British historians involved in this project would be able to make enough meaningful changes to the American sociopolitical landscape to offer any help on that subject.

Ted Cruz can be more than one thing. Don’t pigeonhole Ted Cruz.

I found The Terror fairly compelling. Two ships stuck in the Arctic, 150 cranky sailors, maybe a dozen that actually have lines, and one super fucked-up hellbeast trying to eat them.

The following is a tremendously disproportionate analogy given that we’re talking about a microblogging website, but I really don’t think there’s any better term for it:

It’s really less like you’re calling Twitter by its deadname and more like you’re refusing to call it by its slave name. Twitter didn’t come up with this on its own, some guy just rolled up and said “I’m changing your name because yours isn’t cool enough.” Like, fukken Kunta Kinte.

Again, very unfortunate that that’s the only comparison that comes to mind but I’m really blanking on anything else. Jean Valjean, I guess. Maybe Darth Vader. Locutus of Borg.
