Friday Fiction: It Knows It’ll Win
Sometimes, the scariest things are things we know are coming but have no way of preventing it.
The Best Aetherdrift Cards (4 of 5)
This is part 4 of a list of the best 25 cards in the latest Magic: The Gathering set, Aetherdrift. The articles are meant to be read in order, so start with the first one if you want the full list. Cards are presented in WUBRG order and alphabetically within each color. Hope you’re having fun…
Exit Strategy: Somehow Still Good Sci-Fi
Exit Strategy Shouldn’t Work As A Sci-Fi Book I don’t understand how Murderbot (the book series) keeps getting away with this. Exit Strategy is a slog to read for so long, with exposition being thrown at you with a density I am unsure how anyone is expected to navigate. But, by the end of it,…
Friday Fiction: There Are More Stars Than There Should Be
Imagine the scale of stars for a moment.
It’s difficult, isn’t it? Thinking about stuff that big, out in solar systems that big, with so much emptiness between them?

Mainly because I couldn’t find five good enough Standard cards in each color.
The Midnight Sky: A Bleak Ending
The Mightnight Sky is bleak. A sense of loss, sadness, and more just permeates every moment of this movie. Even the biggest moment of levity made me tense, not relieved. And you really have to be in the right headspace to enjoy it.
Friday Fiction: The Man Who Hated The Moon (Part 1)

The Fantastic Four: First Steps teaser is a fascinating look at the current cultural interests, and especially what Marvel has learned from its other projects. The aesthetic, from moment one, is so very distinct—and so very familiar.
Paradise: One Of The Best Shows Around
Paradise is one of the best-written shows I’ve seen in a long time. It’s intricate without being confusing. Multi-layered without pulling away from its core storytelling.
