I got on a bit of a 90s kick last night, so here’s the Spotify playlist that came from it, a kind of 90s alt-rock-chick greatest hits mixtape. So enjoy, if you’re into this kind of thing!

So I’ll be taking a few days off from the blog to clear my head of manosphere nonsense, do some non-blog reading, catch up on bad TV and work a bit on a few little side projects of mine. It’s been a long time since I’ve taken anything more than a day or two off from my WHTM duties and, well, I’m feeling a little not-so fresh. I hope to come back tanned, rested and ready, except not so much the “tanned” bit.

A long overdue Open Thread for Non-Personal Stuff. (There’s also one for personal stuff.)
As always, no trolls or MRAs. Let me know if any show up.

Human garbage pile/fantasy author Vox Day evidently thought he was being very clever when he included the gloriously weird, butt-obsessed (world’s greatest) author Chuck Tingle in his Rabid Puppy slate for the Hugo Awards, assuming that a Hugo nomination for the man behind such ridiculous and hallucinatory metafiction as Pounded in the Butt by My Own Butt would make the evil Social Justice Warriors see red.

So there’s a petition on Change.org demanding that Metacritic stop including scores from gaming megasite IGN.com in its meta-scores. Why?
Because IGN gave the new Doom reboot a score that was … lower than the scores other critics gave it! Thus proving that IGN.com is irredeemably corrupt!
