There is a new Chrome extension that detects if a video you’re streaming has a strobe in it, will freeze the video and stick this warning up there until you approve it.

WHERE THE HELL HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE????

I was way too busy to update my grad of this year. But I’m proud of all the creative work I’ve done in the first year of my M.A. program. Now for the super exciting part… in the fall I’m off to London for the M.F.A portion. I’ve decompartmentalized that I’m going now that my finals are done! Poetry manuscript here I come.

I mean, if we really wanted comic book movies to be faithful to the source material, rather than spending $100 million on one movie, what you'd do is give $20 million each to five different directors, release all five resulting movies in theatres at the same time, and make sure that each movie's plot refers to the events of all the other movies' plots in such a way that whichever of the five movies you watch first will be entirely incomprehensible and every possible viewing order is wrong.
