The Constrictions We Enforce on Media

Distancing Myself from Recommending Rogues by Patrick Radden Keefe (and just saying Fuck Kissinger over and over again)
I Probably Shouldn’t, But I’m Going to Talk About “We Are Lady Parts”

Mandatory Performative Pride Month Post 2024 Edition: Weird combination of Roxana Shirazi, Simon Fujiwara, Elisarion and Borderlands

RIP Steve Albini
He died yesterday at age 61.
