You might want to check out the works of N.K. Jemisin or Nnedi Okorafor. Jemisin has a few highly-acclaimed series and is turning out to be a very prolific author…I think her debut was published in 2010 and she's already published at least six novels. Okorafor writes more in the magical realism genre and typically…

The Cube Escape/Rusty Lake series are excellent surreal, bizarre takes on the room escape genre. They are also almost all free…I think there are 10 or so total in the series. Highly recommended.

Have you read Andi Zeisler's We Were Feminists Once? I haven't yet (just got the book today and am so eager to read it) but it looks like it tackles issues with commodified, celebrity-branded feminism that may interest you.

Sigh. Confession time…Gene Wilder was the first sexual crush I ever and I'm distinctly I remember that the first penis I ever drew was on a very naked Willy Wonka.

Sadly not far from the truth. Last summer they were airing ads in the DC area by some sort of anti-environmental lobbyists. The gist was…why should we bother reducing our smog levels when pollution from Chinese factories cancels it out?

Episode five is apparently titled "Gaying in Shape" and features Rob going to the gym to "try to turn heads of the same sex".

I didn't watch the show, but I did find the clip for you…final episode ("Opening Night"), very first scene. It's about as funny as you would expect a Rob Schneider sitcom scene to be.

Bingo. As a native Marylander (southern Maryland, no less) who's also lived in the NE and the South, I can confirm that this weird North/South thing is very relative, even within Maryland.

Maybe it's because I've been playing South Park: Stick of Truth this week, but I'm looking forward to South Park: The Fractured But Whole. Although I greatly enjoyed FO3/NV and the Mass Effect series, I'm not overly anticipating the follow-ups, and I think it might be due a burnout on the self-seriousness of many AAA…

Not a parent, but cannot give this enough likes. I played with a DM who had his fiancee and teenage daughters involved, and it was glorious to witness the father unfairly deal damage to the kids to teach them some sort of life lesson, or maybe just because he could.

Recently finished Maggie Larson's The Argonauts, which I would have never picked up if it weren't for the A review here. Although there is very little overlap between the experiences she discusses and my own, she writes with such frankness and respect for the people in her life and for her audience that I was really…

I've set aside a lot of highly-recommended books in the past year or so also due to WWII burnout, but I have such a weakness for time-travel/repeated-lives themes that I might just take a look at Life After Life, and then promptly go back to complaining about all the other historical tragedies that get criminally…

Glad that you mentioned this - also reading Seveneves and, after reading multiple reviews that stated the last third is much worse than the first 2/3, good to see another opinion. The orbital dynamics exposition and the extremely thin characterization has slowed my interest in this book to a halt, but I so love the…

Also playing Legend of Grimrock 2 this weekend, and also reset after a bit to the easy difficulty. Even then, there is one boss fairly early on that is just…ridiculous (Pro-tip: invest in Earth Magic for Poison Shield).
