Frak this Podcast continues with the apparently very divisive "boxing episode." It's most romantic subplots, which means @jessiegender.bsky.social laughs as I'm trapped in my own personal hell with this one.

Any depiction of Hades that shows him in a helmet is wrong. That is canonically the Helmet of Invisibility. If he’s wearing it, you ain’t seeing him.

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

Kicking off 2026 with a video about AI use in video games, with a bonus rant about The Escapist because I fell down that rabbit hole again.

So the US made it about two days without dashing every last possible hope that this year might not be a complete shit show. I’m almost impressed by the restraint.

“It’s bad writing” has become such a blanket statement to cover for people who don’t know how to articulate the problems, are trying to obscure that the problem is their own bigotry, or (quite often) both.
If you can’t explain HOW the writing is bad, then I won’t be accepting this as critique.

So... given the deliberate misgendering I have to assume that this was meant as an insult but... that sounds like high praise to me. Like, I get that maybe he thought I was dysphoric about my junk but even then this seems like a weird way to insult somebody.

Why is it the update that I *never* get from cons I'm going to is the panelist registration form and by the time I think to check on my own the deadline's well past? They update me about every new chance to spend money, but never on that.

Well... I've seen the teaser now that it has an official release (reaction is exclusive to Patreon supporters and YouTube members because of the copyright crap I get making them public).
They're desperate and it shows. They've really got nothing.
