There was a significant decline in the quality of his work towards the end of his life, too (as a result of the disease that killed him, no doubt). This is likely for the best. I’d far rather remember him for his best books than for unfinished work that was likely even worse than Unseen Academicals.

It sure does, but I refer you to my previous statement. Adultery by itself does not invalidate feminism.

Pretty sure the latter cancels out the other there buddy

As long as that means we don’t end up with Hitler Did Nothing Wrong Highway, I’m all for it.

One of the twists I liked about Dragon Age was that its dwarves were American instead of Scottish and some of them were allowed to shave. It’s depressing that this counts as an interesting twist.

Other critics and game developers have pointed out that not all video games are designed for everyone, and that Hellblade, which explores themes of psychosis and mental health, has very specific goals.

Why do swingers all have to be Roger Stone instead of the Smiths? We need a better public face!

There’s a speech Gillian Anderson gives in The Fall about how problematic it is to call a victim “innocent”. In the context of the show, her main complaint is “but what if the next victim is a prostitute”, but I think it applies here too.

Well he’s from near Isfahan if I recall correctly. He may have been a grouch, but he’s the best cook I’ve ever met. I lived with him for three Persian New Years, and those were the best three meals of my life bar none.

Eh? Scots and Welsh are certainly British. They’re not English, of course. All three of those nations occupy the island of Great Britain, so their nationals are British.
