I’ve played D3 through to late late endgame on three systems now with my wife, and we are so so excited for D4.

That said, I’m also taking everything with a grain of salt. The item store still gives me reflux. 

I have miso and butter in my fridge.

I think this is about to rock my world. 

I would never have owned a gun (teacher post Sandy Hook who wants intelligent gun laws) where it not for the rhetoric this year.

First chair. Second Violin. 

The number of people who refuse to read what Critical Race Theory is, who are currently tweeting about Critical Race Theory, is TOO DAMN HIGH.

How are you going to abolish a Critical Lens?

What, are we going to “abolish” the psychoanalytical lens, next?

Sorry kids, Iago from Othello is totally mysterious for all time…

Yeah, got that subtext, too.

I read Ji-Ah as an NB/Bi character and agree with the discussion of her “mirrored-ness” with William/Christina in the user Ellestra’s post above.

What a great show and episode!

If I were Sony, the uncertainty of Elder Scrolls / Fallout future games would be a big issue.

Dropping some PSVR 2 news soon, an IP that they have some good headway on, would be a good (if weak) response in their own domain. 

“’We embrace the vision of Martin Luther King where children are not judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. The left is attempting to destroy that beautiful vision and divide Americans by race in the service of political power. By viewing every issue through the lens of race, they…

I wish our only problem was peaceful protests now.

It’s been a hell of a year, between police brutality and the murder rate going nuts during quarantine.

A good investment, though.

A lot of this pops up in “The New Jim Crow” from one source or another, but as TamTams says in this thread. The “white source” of Harvard may get on the radar of white folks who filter their news through right-wing sources.

I think that this partially stems from the expectation we have for the handling of queer narratives.

The show runners are dedicated to exploring race through the sci-fi horror genre and exploring queer narratives within the same genre without experiencing horror and otherness would feel like an abandonment of the…

Have ya’ll seen the sci fi series recently?

Great series, but the CGI has aged like milk.

We need more Dune!

Great summary.

You really can’t over emphasize the impact of Dune on Science Fiction as a genre. It is the root of the modern genre as much as Lovecraft is the root of the modern Horror genre.

So excited to get a massively satisfying Lovecraft reboot AND what may be a worthy Dune film in the same year.

“We are not done with gender fluidity in this series.”

Looking at you Christina/William!

Also, the “bury your gays” tropism that was the death of Yahima was pretty jarring in a show that has so much thought put into it.

One of my other loves in adventure fiction, the podcast “The Adventure Zone”

“We are not done with gender fluidity in this series.”

Looking at you Christina/William!

LOL at the connotation of “I’m on Board.”

I’d watch that romance.

That’s King’s best horror.

Quotidian. Everyday horror.

The scene in Mr. Mercedes where a kid gets nonchalantly pushed down the stairs still fucks with me a number of years after reading it as a Dad.

HBO has been educating my middle aged white ass for the past year and I love it.

Picked up Loewen’s “Sundown Towns” and “Lies my Teacher Told Me” and I’ve been basically undoing my predominantly white high school history education for…

Yes please. Tired of folks pretending he’s not a creep. There are plenty of folx who could fill the time who aren’t full “Eyes Wide Shut”

Great assessment
