the incredible tension of this moment in the United States is that we all want to ignore everything and “move on.”
But we can’t, as there are fresh crimes and unprecedented outrages every single week, if not days.
Doing our best but if you’re not here you have no idea how fucked up it all looks.

apropos of nothing, Michael Shannon in Death by Lightning is stellar.
Sort of a bizarre mashup mini-series on an obscure moment in US history, but it’s very watchable.
(disclaimer — it’s based on a very famous book, which I gather is more or less poorly reflected in this Netflix show)

honestly, everyone talking about Metroid is refreshing. I had a great time beating M: Dread at release, and it seemed like no one else was playing it.
Reading the reporting about all the character origin disputes is fascinating.
