Wait I straight up didn't know the first book in the series was in fact also called Game Changer and now I have to wonder if this actually was intentional

You know you can do most of this with a normal fridge and a magnetic whiteboard and that won’t collect your data

It kinda feels like so much media is found in the editing room these days which is why their green screen looks worse than a Linkin Park music video, they’re just lighting everyone as uniformly as possible and trying to fix it in post

do you know how much horror and lewd art is made by ace people. I'll tell you how much. a lot
The fucking Hard Times had a joke about ace pride being indistinguishable form a Macy’s thanksgiving day parade because apparently ace folks only like nonthreatening characters, which was cool way for the writers to announce they knew zero ace people.
Fuck having the ace person relationship with sexuality discussion is gonna be a headache tho especially since a ton of people have decided axe folks are basically grown up children.

Watched the 1975 movie version of The Stepford Wives after reading the book and I'm low key not a fan of how it makes the "they're turning them into literal robots" angle kind of unambiguos, where you're never really quite sure what they're actually doing to them in the books
