Mindhunter Season 3 You Guys!
No, not really. At least, not confirmed. But there are rumors, and not from Variety: Mindhunter star Holt McCallany just gave an interview where he talks about how the show might return and the status of director David Fincher’s involvement. The interview is with CBR promoting McCallany’s other new show, The Waterfront, and he addressed the season 3 issue:… Read More Mindhunter Season 3 You Guys!

Vexillological Nerd Fights, or Why Maryland has Objectively the Best State Flag
Vexillology is a fancy word for Flag Design. It has become, in the age of Internet Rhetoric, a subculture with a very specific aesthetic. I could explain, or I could let this famous old video do it: I enjoy this because I have long held the “State Seal on blue” design with aristocratic disdain. Also… Read More Vexillological Nerd Fights, or Why Maryland has Objectively the Best State Flag

The Ruins of Westeros
Larry Correia has planted a flag on the mouldering corpse of George R.R. Martin’s literary career. There’s a fisking in the linked article, which involves MSN.com relitigating the whole Sad Puppies/Hugos drama from ten years ago, because they want to sell the narrative that Correia and Martin are rivals, explaining this mockery. Correia fisks the… Read More The Ruins of Westeros
