Right, but it's possible for Lynch and Frost to be making a positive, worthwhile statement while also delivering it in a way that's ham fisted at best, gratuitous and exploitative at worst.

The AV Club turned into an Amazon affiliate so gradually, I hardly noticed!

I was at the show in the picture! Really though these guys are great and I'm glad they're getting some attention.

"Doc, I got this rash…"
"Well, let's take a look at It."

The thing with Destruction is just a representative example, although looking back I represented it that way. Anyway, I'm making an ass of myself here.

I'm mainly taking issue with the whole Destruction retiring thing. So the Endless are just that… endless, more so than any gods, because they're the embodiment of primeval forces without which the Universe could not function. As near as I can tell.

Joseph Delaney's painting, "Marble Collegiate Church." I saw it at the Knoxville art museum when we stopped there on a road trip about a year ago. This image won't really do it justice, it's got to be five feet tall, but it's one of the only times I can remember literally having my breath taken away.

I'm mostly okay with trigger warnings, but they can get to be a bit much. The other day on Facebook I saw a post that opened with "TW: transphobia, misgendering." The post itself was, more or less verbatim, "Does anyone know where I can find good underwear for transwomen? My significant other is having trouble finding…
