Does anyone like Stephen A. Smith being on their television? I've never heard a single person tell me they like his commentary or that they find him clever or insightful. He is likely ESPN's second highest paid commentator. Why? What does he provide?

Just a reminder that even if Deshaun Watson is good at football again, he's still a sexual predator and it's gross that the NFL lets him play and it's gross that the Browns employ him. Celebrating his wins makes it very clear that you think your football fandom is more important than women's safety

Hey podcaster, content creator and game designer friends. If you have a video game you are particularly passionate about, and would like to come talk about on my new video game podcast, please let me know. Can be an old game or a newer one.

I love a lot of old classic wrestling. But I do not care what Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, Brett Hart, Jim Cornette, Eric Bischoff and all these other old timers think about modern wrestling. Artforms change and evolve. Classics do in fact go out of style and I wish they did it quietly.

Why are this year's NFL rivalry jerseys so much more subdued than last year's? I loved the bold takes we got last year but it feels like this years teams got shorted in comparison.

Whenever I see content featuring Emo Music on the internet these days it's mostly featuring bands that nobody considered part of emo when that genre arose. A lot of the time it's mostly pop punk bands. At some point the term emo was successfully rebranded to represent completely different music.

My favorite way to describe the deaths of any horrible conservative monsters is to say that God struck them down. Conservatives love it when I do this. "Oh... so God finally struck Lindsey Graham down for his wickedness huh? That's too bad."

I'm about 20% into Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay, it's my first book by them and wow. I thought I was falling out of love with fantasy but Kay's writing is really incredible. Compared to the drab prose of Sanderson and his ilk, this is really amazing stuff, and I wish got more accolades than it does.

Wicked Loom will be at Gen Con this year! We have some games to pitch but we’re also looking to meet with publishers who might be looking for something specific that they’re not finding through normal means, or who need development work.

Tom MacDonald changing his Nazi grifter dog-whistle rap music into Klansman grifter dog-whistle country music is the most expected and boring yet utterly hilarious thing he could do. It's easy to trick people who have no critical thinking skills I guess.

I get that it's a perfect metaphor for his presidency or whatever, but at this point it's also a perfect demonstration of the largely aesthetic issues that liberals will waste time and energy on, even in the face of oncoming existential disasters.

I finished reading Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence yesterday and it instantly became one of my favorite books of all time. Sometimes the classics are classics for a reason. I've never seen the Scorsese film based on it, so I'll have to check that out soon.
