Quote: Newsmax chief Washington correspondent James Rosen wrote on X that Carlson responded to Trump's Truth Social post Thursday, saying, "I've always liked Trump and still feel sorry for him, as I do for all slaves." Asked to elaborate, Carlson added: "He's hemmed in by other forces. He can't make his own decisions. It's awful to watch."

When I came out of industry as a game designer, it was always suspect to me as I moved through academia.

Look, I couldn't finish TLOU1 because of my aggressive anger at the ludonarrative dissonance, but the opening level (as a dad to a 6 year old girl) absolutely destroyed me...

Black Americans,through the Civil Rights Movement, handed this country the only 61 years of real freedom it has ever known. And this nation, built by us, has spent every decade since showing exactly how much it resents the people who made that freedom possible. Particularly white women.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Open invitation to pitch some public scholarship to either my Review Roulette or @americanstudier.bsky.social's AmericanStudier blog!

As a huge computer nerd AND fantasy nerd, how could I NOT dig Kitty Pryde...

And if you've met my spouse, THERE ARE CLUES

The first I collected exclusively was Excalibur.

I bounced through some indy books (Ninja High School, Tiger-X, and more...), but in terms of mainstream books, the artwork and Kitty Pryde ::sigh:: was definitely my jam

Thanks for that stroll down amnesia lane!
