Always fun in an industry with decreasing mentorship and constant layoffs, where your readership constantly harasses you, for high-profile journalists like Gene Park to dismiss entire websites and the work they do, only adding to the dogpiling and noise.

Watched the failed Generation X TV movie pilot from 1996. What a trip. Cyclops is a sex pest called Kurt with frosted tips, the team is led by Emma Frost/Banshee, and the villain is a Jim Carrey/Freddy Kreuger hybrid who infiltrates teenagers' dreams to make them play too much Virtua Fighter
