Goddamn it, I will go John Wick if this happens to my cat. Covid-19 better watch out; I’m about to shoot the air molecules!

I used to work with abused foster kids in Austin, and I was never terribly worried about what the police would do when we had to call them. I’ve always said they were one of the better departments, but I a few months ago I realized that was really only because I was subconsciously comparing it to the police department…

I’m a phone operator at the National Domestic Violence Hotline, and I have to say, this week in particular has been rough. The sheer volume of calls is really starting to weigh down a lot of us, to say nothing of the sense of helplessness many of us feel with so many services being closed. We’re all just trying to…

I literally bought the sourcebooks to Cyberpunk 2020 and Cyberpunk Red just for the lore, without any real intention of ever playing the game. Doesn’t hurt that this same lore leads into Cyberpunk 2077.

Let’s be honest, it was only a matter of time; she has the temerity to not have a dick.

In my various social work jobs, I’ve faced angry people who have been physically violent and occasionally armed. I’ve never just backed down and let them run wild but I’ve also never exacerbated the situation. Damn near every time, I and my coworkers were able to diffuse the situation relatively peacefully. We wore…

When I think of everyone who’s been President in my lifetime (Reagan, Bush, Clinton, W., Obama, Trump) it truly does strike me that a man of Obama’s stature is the exception to the highest office in the land, not the rule. I’m thankful that I was at least old enough to really appreciate him while we had him.

In an alternate universe, Carrie lived and Trevorrow made his third movie where she was the original trio member who took center stage, after Han in VII and Luke in VIII. I will never stop thinking about what could have been....

I’m a phone operator at the National Domestic Violence Hotline, and I can back up our CEO here and say that, while the volume of calls has indeed seemed to have dipped, the people who have called are in an extremely rough spot. In the past two days, we’ve figured out that every single domestic violence shelter in…

According to IMDB, the composer for this movie’s score described Warren Beatty as “insane.” I always wondered what the story behind that was....

Any other Olds remember Electronics Boutique? Good times, good times....

At Barton Creek Mall here in Austin (truly one of the nerdiest malls ever, to be honest), there’s already a place that offers this service — with about a year’s or so head start to learn what works and what doesn’t. I, um... don’t think this will work well here....

As a fellow, I implore all white people: STOP DOING THIS SHIT. Or at the very, very least, actually speak with some Latinx people and truly make an effort to get to know them and their experiences before doing this shit....

Obligatory, and still unparalleled:

Seriously, don’t do this to anyone. It is neither fun nor funny — it is assault.

In a certain way, Voyager was the opposite of The Next Generation. Whereas TNG was greater than the sum of its parts, Voyager’s parts were greater than the whole. Whereas TNG is (rightly) fondly remembered, it also had some truly terrible episodes (looking at you, “Code of Honor). Voyager, on the other hand, seems to…

I would say Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, but really I’ll probably just try to recapture that old Squaresoft RPG feel with Octopath Traveler.

Legit question, because I can only follow the primary news for so long: does Pete have a real shot at the nomination? I keep thinking he’s sunk himself, but then I read articles about how well he’s polling. I’ll vote for him if he gets the nomination, but he’s FAR from my choice at this juncture.

Quinlan Vos and Asajj Ventress.... HAWT.

I know this is a super niche group, but I know quite a few sex workers, and every single one of them had vowed never to vote for her due to FOSTA/SESTA. While I know this is hardly enough to tank her campaign as a whole, I think it does represent a slice of the broader problems she had.

All that said, I still would…
