Conversation with female friends about dating. I said I liked dating, even bad dates, because dating can be a kind of adventure. Worst case, you learn something about yourself. Female friend said something like, "No, worst case is I'm raped and killed." That's when I got it.

Last night I saw one of the craziest damn things I’ve ever seen in all my days. This guy rides solo up into the arcade, walks up to TIME CRISIS II, and plays the game start to finish on one coin — using both guns. That means he’s players 1 and 2 at the same time.

What people actually mean when they say they want “non-political” comics like when they were kids is that they’re devastated to have woken up one day as an adult, read a comic book, and realized they’d grown up to become the kind of person their childhood hero punches in the face

For the people trying to poke holes in this, you can’t. Dating is more dangerous for women than men. Living is more dangerous for women than men. Outliers are just that. The answer to sexual violence isn’t for women to do X or Y. It’s for men to stop committing sexual violence.

Pivot to Video was a scam perpetrated by Facebook, who produced false data to persuade publishers that users engaged with video at astronomically higher rates than text/graphics. Thousands of people were fired and millions of dollars was spent on video content nobody wanted.
Truly don't understand "pivot to video." When I get excited to read a piece and find out it's a video that I have to watch for several minutes in real time, I click away. I almost never spend more time on a page where there's a video as opposed to something I can quickly read.

Apparently the term “bottle episode” is the latest to be completely rewritten by the internet. What it actually means is an inexpensive episode using existing sets etc. The easiest examples come from Star Trek; when the whole episode takes place on the ship, that’s a bottle show.

Not sure who said this but it’s a bad take and betrays a misunderstanding of how “giant corporations” work. No one is getting “covered” if a book doesn’t sell. If comics aren’t profitable, they’re cancelled. People get laid off. Piracy hurts everyone at every level and size.
