Multiple things can be true at once: Charlie Kirk was a bigot who did nothing but spew bile and hatred across the country. He also didn’t deserve what happened to him.

Hot take: the DC Gunnverse should hold off on Batman for a bit. Let Battinson do his thing for a while and focus on other characters. It’ll be fun seeing them build up other characters. Or if you have to include Batman, make him Terry McGinnis.

#ApocalypseHotel is a fascinating mix of existential sci-fi and goofy fantasy about finding new roads to travel once you’ve reached the end of your current one. It’ll never be the most popular anime in the world, but it’s one that shows how versatile and heartwarming the medium can be.

I am waiting for all the people who said Trump would be the peace candidate to kindly fuck off.

I beat #clairobscurexpedition33 over the weekend. It's a true work of interactive game art that symbolizes everything great about the medium. The story is exciting, poignant, and thought provoking simultaneously and the gameplay is just as well refined and original. Congrats Sandfall Interactive.

I look forward to seeing Last of Us Season 2 and never talking about it on social media. I already fought this battle once.

All the billionaire and techbros sucking up to Trump prove why you never should rely on oligarchs for social guidance. The minute another Democrat that isn't a useless neoliberal stooge is elected president, they'll change tune again. Worthless parasites. All of them.

I really wish I liked the Evangelion manga as much as the original and Rebuild series. It's interesting to see the sereis from a new artistic perspective but it fumbles too many aspects to really get on board with. I admire the attempt more than the actual results. Still the best anime ever made.
