Judging the Book By Its Cover: White Jazz by James Ellroy
Judging the Book By Its Cover is a column where we, you guessed it, judge books by their covers. Or more accurately, we judge the covers of books, examining the different aesthetics they’ve had through the years (and in some cases titles) to determine which are the most and least effective. Even in crime lit, […]
22 Representatives Up for Reelection in 2018 and How Much They Were Paid to Vote Yes on AHCA
Yesterday, May 4th, the House of Representatives finally managed to pass their AHCA bill, an effort to repeal and dismantle the Affordable Care Act ushered in by the Obama administration.

Why Marvel’s Secret Empire Messaging Matters More Than How the Story Ends
One of the most prevalent and consistent themes in books about the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany is the belief foreign powers held that it was most important to not act rashly and judge Adolf Hitler and his peers prematurely.

The film opens on Dallas (played by Erika Linder, […]

Silicon Valley Would Be a Lot Better if it Stopped Giving White Male Mediocrity So Many Passes
For all its early promise, Mike Judge’s HBO comedy Silicon Valley has struggled to find its footing in any meaningful way. The past three seasons of the show have more or less featured the same arc, with the perpetually overwhelmed start-up Pied Piper shooting themselves in the foot every time they approach some form of success, […]
Image Comics’ Plastic Makes One Wonder if the Future of the Medium as Dead-Eyed as a Realdoll?
Plastic is par for the course for mainstream American comics. The only female presence on the book is the colorist, and the only women in the comic exist as mentions (the protagonist’s mother and another character’s dead wife). This is a comic that refuses to pretend: the only visual representation of a woman is a […]
