Will We All Be Replaced by Robots? Probably Not, But Let's Discuss It

Cats Are Assholes
There is a long and bitter war that has been raging on the internet for a number of years now: #teamdog versus #teamcat.

Daredevil's Slow Burn Crescendos to a World of Cinematic Fire
I had zero expectations going into this show.

Five Things I've Learned from Watching Digimon
Believe it or not, Digimon was the first anime I ever got deeply into. Yeah, yeah, I can hear you snickering from here. It was 1999, and I didn't have cable, so it was like the first exposure to anime that I ever had. I was in my early teens by then, but Saturday afternoon TV always sucked, so I was still watching…
Looking for Feminist Comics? Why Not Try Webcomics?
