Great stuff from Willow!
My horror column is back, and I'm looking at SILENT HILL 2, my relationship with the games, and the horrible shape of its camera, its angles, and its symbolic monsters.

Pretty sure I would give up dreaming to be immortal. Dreaming has never given me much.

Was looking up an audiobook on Libby and found out it’s narrated by AI. I want everyone involved to understand this has entirely killed my enthusiasm for the book in every format. I will never read it.

1. If telepathy exists, it’s immoral and unethical.
2. I’ve said this before, but there’s a good chance I die when I attack and try to dismantle a robot police dog. I will not be policed by robots.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Ok, finished it, have thoughts you may or may not learn. 3 things my family argued about:
* Did the test come out positive?
* Did Tim the Preppie know he was chasing Willa?
* Is the last shot a reference to the WHAT’S GOING ON album cover?
* Did the test come out positive?
* Did Tim the Preppie know he was chasing Willa?
* Is the last shot a reference to the WHAT’S GOING ON album cover?
This movie *wants* me to dislike Perfidia?
In an unforeseen turn of events, my kids are making me watch ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. (One has already seen it.)

All these years later, Max Headroom (Now on Tubi!) still haunts me with how oddly prescient it was in its satire.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Hey folks! Trying to put out a newsletter that says “Sorry haven’t been in contact, not much to say as I haven’t been able to listen to many albums recently, oh and NOMINATIONS FOR THE BEST ALBUM OF 2001 START ON JAN 17” but Buttondown seems to be offline. So I’ll put this here and try again later.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.
