I'm not sure if the return of Spy Magazine is worth having Donald J. Trump as a presidential candidate, but I suppose every F5 tornado has its silver lining.

I thought Might Magazine (co-founded by Dave Eggers) was trying to be the Gen X New Yorker.

Hey, now, given Benioff & Weiss some credit. It's not like they're Joss Whedon.

I am torn. I've known about WikiLeaks since 2008 (when EFF & the ACLU went to bat in federal court after a Cayman Islands bank filed injunctions against it and its sitehost to lock up the domain). I think it's been involved in some very useful efforts to expose very ugly, very dirty secrets about banking systems,…

I was just about to admonish Evil Lincoln for not including "young King Arthur as a frat bro princeling in Merlin".

After you're done reading it … the third time.

Congratulations!

I loved that show. Was bereft when Jon-Erik Hexum died.

I was unlikely to watch this, anyway, but the New York Times TV critic pretty much savaged this. Not sure who's right in this case …

1) I attended Geek Girl Con, where there were a lot of geeks, including Anita Sarkeesian - she is tiny short. The con was pretty fun, although I tackled it mostly as a relax-a-con (didn't do much of the programming, just wandered around and soaked the general vibe).

So, there's one joint here (Seattle) that does Nashville Hot Chicken, but it's out near Boeing Field and only open after 4 pm every other Tuesday after a full moon. Has anyone tried the KFC version?

I laughed so hard, my finger slipped and I accidentally downvoted you.

OTOH, it's also a centuries-old 300-year-old Irish vampire, gave his son one of the faddiest late nineties/early aughts names a male Irish name popular some 300-odd years ago.

This sounds intriguing enough to make it the first Atwood I will have read* - I need to get the rest of the Hogarth Shakespeare series, for that matter.

7 pm here on the West Coast was still smack in the middle of the Presidential debate. It looks like there was a second Simpsons ep at 9 here, which should have been the Halloween of Horrors ep, so maybe the new ep aired then - and my Tivo completely missed, so I'm still disgruntled.

Given that Sweeney Todd is pretty much gothic horror with quasi-humourous touches, I think he should lean into old-fashioned horror. His natural tendencies will leaven it with whimsy and humour, but a strong story anchored in darker tones may keep him for spinning out too far. A adaptation of Poe, perhaps, or maybe…

1) Are you talking about this woman? https://en.wikipedia.org/wi…
