I remember first hearing about Virgil when Watch the Throne’s album cover came out. I was under the impression that KAWS had done the 808s cover, but did not realize Virgil was involved as well. His style stood out to me and I was happy to see someone from his background reach his level of fame - even if the style was…

I imagine Amazon negotiated these distribution rights with the game publishers, who know that console gamers are less accustomed to “free” content compared to PC gamers. That, and the console makers - with their own subscription services - probably don’t want the publishers getting in bed with Amazon just to see that…

I too am ashamed

1. I don’t think the video’s conclusion was that “fictional work can never be defended from certain types of criticism because in-universe explanations don’t matter.” The video’s point was that you cannot assume a diagetic argument shuts down or invalidates criticism by default. It counters the idea that a fictional…

Okay this is amazing wtf

This comment is perfect.

I don’t remember the show ever suggesting that Sam experienced racism within the confines of the military (though it wouldn’t be surprising if he did)? The man grew up in Louisiana - both the actor and the character, a nice change. That’s enough shorthand for a largely American audience to understand where he’s coming…

I honestly love the Timmverse and its attempts to reconcile its idealism with realities that children can understand. After watching Zachstice League this week, I feel I need to cleanse my palate with some Savage Time.

I recognized this piece as well, and after refreshing my memory of it, I think it has less to do with The Raft (though that’s a great tie-in) as it does the overarching narrative in a subtle way.

It’s probably so the herb can prove to advertisers that you’re reading past that point.

If it hasn’t been said already, I’m putting it out there:

I honestly didn’t even find the (admittedly sloppy) plot turn towards the end to be out of character for Daenerys.

An inverse Dr. Manhattan 

Just wanted to say that you and Rogers both captured my thoughts even better than I could have. Thanks for contributing. 

Had to Google 6MWE...I really wish I had not

This same reasoning could be used by educated salary workers against raising the minimum wage (“I earned this salary!”). There are any number of reasons to live in Tuscaloosa vs Boston, and any number of them could be practical, personal, or otherwise. If the goal is to ensure we meet people’s needs based on where…

Had no idea but I would not put it past the Rat at all, holy shit

Seriously. The fact that it’s under the “news” subsection just reinforces this site’s blog status. And this is coming from a fan of the artist listed here.

A remarkable coincidence that Kitty was played by Elliot Page all those many moons ago
