I'm very grateful to the HWA board for quickly and resoundingly rejecting Giron's opinion piece and removing her from the board. This was 100% the right call, and frankly, I wasn't entirely sure it would be made. But the statement pulls no punches and leaves no room for doubt. That's good. ... 1/?

How anyone at the HWA let that pro-AI essay be published is beyond me. It's not just the stance or the tired argument about "gatekeeping" so much as the fact that it reads like the worst kind of angry Facebook post your parents ever embarrassed you with. The editor should be ashamed they let ... 1/?

Finally got around to watching Backrooms. It was extremely fine. Immensely okay. But no, there's some good shit in there. I especially admired the choice to make every shot feel liminal, even cityscapes and other interstitials. Doesn't really hang together too well or say much, but I had a fun time

A ★★★ review of Backrooms (2026)There's a lot to like about Backrooms, but also not a lot of it holds together as well as it could've. The visual and sound design are great. It's not a "scary" film in particular, more discomfiting, ...boxd.it

yeah no thanks, I just read the synopsis of Threads last night

Fuckin hell yeah! Clash is awesome, Joe is awesome, dead boys are ... well, I don't know, context matters. Either way, this is great news. Congrats, can't wait to read it!

Man, today sucked. Time to hunker down and finally watch Hokum, a movie I wanted to see in theaters but couldn't because I couldn't afford to drive an hour and a half to see it.

It's supposed to be 109 tomorrow. I'd say "kill me", but what would be the point when I'm clearly going to die anyway.

Finally getting around to watching Weapons. I'm only like, what, 8 months late or something? A year? So far I'm digging it, anyway.

damn that is a shirt I feel

Just saw Hadestown. We'd seen it before in SF with an absolutely killer touring cast, but Sullivan's pro shot is *astounding*. That original cast captured the emotion so beautifully, and the show is so gorgeously captured, I was floored. Total knockout. I left the theater wounded. Go see it.

I feel this. It sucks. Also games journalism died the day Greg Kasavin quit criticism to make games instead.
