My iron-clad theory used to be that a third installment of a video game following a singular story was impossible. It would always be shit in some way, usually multiple ways, and would destroy any enthusiasm you had for the whole "trilogy" idea. Is this still true?

In the first 11 days following the Nov. 4 election, Obama b

Today in Murc's Law the entire performative left is having a meltdown because the Biden campaign has decided to start fundraising for its own transition. From what I can tell the approach they'd prefer is frowning harder at the partisan Trump agent who refuses to release the actual funding until she caves.

I'm going to be up all night now thinking of other incredible TERF interpretations of completely normal words that coincidentally include the "trans-" prefix. Trans fats. Trans-Atlantic flight.
