dating in New York as a 30-something executive in private equity

Yeah that’s cool.

Only person that appears to be offended here is you buddy. Simmer down a bit, huh?

Sure! So it’s a little of both. It’s a low-residency program, so we go to classes in July and work remotely the rest of the year. There is some theoretical stuff in July, but also practical classes (tools and techniques, digital tools, a printing workshop) and comics workshopping classes. During the rest of the year,…

Ahh god, final years are nerve-wracking! Best of luck.

Oh, thanks, that means a lot! It’s been fun sitting in this weekend.

Hey Lauren, just wanted to say thanks for this interesting weekend coverage, and that I hope the MFA is going/has gone well.

I was rewatching The Legend of Korra the other day and realised how much I missed your presence at io9 when going back through your recaps. May your endeavours continue to be successful and best…

They have Top Men working on this.

I clicked the link, I read that interview, and I can’t believe that. Snyder can’t be that inept and out of touch with the characters, can he?

He’s also said shit like this unprompted:

To be honest, I suspect Abrams is doing much the same thing with Star Wars as he did with Abrams-Trek: Going through existing material and slapping together story elements and fan-service. It remains to be seen how much sense it will make in the context of the existing films.

To be fair, the prequels have done so much damage to the franchise that so long as Abrams doesn’t do anything monumentally stupid I’ll enjoy it.

Honestly, after “Phantom Menace”, my expectations are so guarded. I trust Abrams, but I just can’t allow myself to be that let down again. None of us had even considered that the Prequels might have sucked, which is probably why it was such a letdown. Never again.

Well... that and homophobia

Oh, did his manuscript leak already?

this is a great article, but yeah. all the cool kids (usa, britain, china, russia, etc) are doin it.

and are taking part in the exact same shadow war as Russia right now

Came here to say this, especially about politics in the age of colonialism.
