  • Weird to see the proliferation over the years of think-pieces on the lack of libido in mainstream film. They act like it’s evidence that America is dead from the waist down – as if people can’t just go watch sex whenever they want, without having to share the experience with an auditorium full of people. Depictions of sexuality have just become more private, that’s all.

    Extreme mouth noises bother some people. Not that I’d ever call anyone out on a train over it, but the sound of loud wet kissing gives me the creepy-crawlies in the same way that hearing someone sloppily eating a particularly juicy apple does.

    Thank Bose for noise-cancelling earbuds.


  • After WotC overprinted cards, they essentially promised not to reprint certain ones. I think it’s a dumb decision, but they’ve annoyingly stuck to it

    WotC goes out of its way to avoid upsetting the used market/card arbitrage people. If they did a reprint of Black Lotus, the howl of anger from those folks would shake the Earth from its orbit.

    Perhaps it is naive to tell stories of a powerful being who remains uncorrupted by power. But perhaps it is also naive to tell stories of a man who can fly like a bird. Suggesting that making up fantastical, magical human beings is sensible in itself, and that it is nonsense to then imagine them being both good and powerful seems like an insult to imagination altogether. But I suppose that it’s easier for some people to re-imagine the laws of physics than it is for them to temporarily quiet their lack of faith in humanity long enough to enjoy a movie.





  • Girl is tired of capchas, junk fees, and other irritations when using big tech apps and websites, she then fights and kills the physical manifestation of all of those annoyances. But it turns out that there’s a large fee for killing the physical manifestation of those annoyances. The central theme is that regardless of what you do, the big tech companies will get what they want in the end.
