Surprisingly disappointing month for Vinegar Syndrome. Only subscriber title I'm interested in is OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN, which I already have. Still, FIRST DEADLY SIN is a get, and some people will be excited for DEATH OF A CHEERLEADER.

They didn't "make" a fucking thing.

I predict absolutely no one will be happy with those new Dark Sun books for D&D, and this will go down as another example of "don't listen to the loudest fans".

That is 10,000% an upgrade

Transphobia is a symptom of deeper problems, exhibit #3285

*ahem* "Hulkling" is a stupid name and at this point they should just let him be Captain Marvel, but absolutely no one would be Not Weird about that, so one of Marvel's most significant gay and legacy characters has to have a name you'd expect for a character on a cartoon called Avengers Babies.

Yeah that particular subtweet was edging towards breaking containment...

Our local live music venue never tells me when they've booked a Latin music or rap act, but they're sure to tell me when a doom metal band is coming through town. I feel profiled.

"Can you believe Boy George used AI to write a pro-Isreal song?" The guy who kidnapped and assaulted a sex worker and got a slap on the wrist for it because courts don't view either gay men or sex workers as fully human? Yes, very much so.

I think a classics scholar writing a film review from that perspective is fine and useful and people being expectedly Not Normal about it is part of the wider problem with both the state of media criticism and audience media literacy.

"We didn't use AI to make the film! Okay, we did use AI in the design process instead of hiring a cultural consultant." Chidi "that's worse" etc.

I am slightly forgiving of these types of photos because 9/10 times they're pulling from social media and who puts "dad scowling darkly at children" photos online. But the jetski meme is notorious enough that you have to wonder how much consideration was made to...NOT do this type of photo?

Put on REVIVER 3, and, uh, the litany of what I presume are Penthouse letter titles being read by an angry man was a bit of a surprise this early in the morning with a house full of people.

I've been playing BANISHERS: GHOSTS OF NEW EDEN, and this is some of the best RPG writing I've seen in ages. Choices have impact and sticking to the "good" path means letting some horrible people get away with terrible things and having the wronged be mad at you.

Now that Marvel is embarking on yet more universe redefining shake-ups, I think it's time for my extensive postmortem of why their last attempt landed with all the enthusiasm of a wet fart...

That article on the Odyssey casting poll is based on a self-selected group of 1600 people, and they omitted "not sure/don't care" from the results. It's a non-story.
