It just exists, stuck in a misused format with its Star Wars heart ripped out and replaced with carefully curated content metrics.

It’s finally time for my kids to show me the next hot thing. So far it’s been nothing but Glitch Productions that have kept our kids entertained and me watching the TV over their shoulders. First it was Murder Drones. Then Amazing Digital Circus, [...]

It is an angry, angry film, filled with rage against the machine of misogyny, the patriarchy, cyclical violence inflicted by violent unaccountable men.

It's got all the things general audiences want and is sure to make a gazillion dollars. It also has its heart in the right place and is doing more to defend journalistic integrity than pretty much anyone else in power pretends to be doing. But it also just can't escape its own trappings, sorely lacking the dynamism that made the first one work so well and last so long.

No one wants to cut the lawn. It’s either stupid hot outside or the grass is dewy and gross. Your shoes that used to be white are now stained green. And you’re all itchy from the grass getting on you. Maybe it’s just me because I have allergies but doing things outside [...]
