Monday Morning Commute: Demons Begone!
Great glorious fuck, I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy to be working. But, today I returned to teaching from Spring Break. And granted, I’m pretty fucking depressed that it’s virtual. At the same time, though, I feel as though I had purpose for the first time in weeks.
You know, like healthy purpose.
Not the sort of purpose that just has you existentially laying in the fetal position (last week). Or, eating two pints of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, because fuck it (last night).

Space Swoon: Check out the Milky Way’s Galactic Center! Get off this wild planet, but for a moment!
NASA has dropped a gorgeous view of the Milky Way’s galactic center. It’s just enough to get away for a moment from the global pandemic. To bask in some glorious cosmic perspective, you know?
Hit the jump to check it out in its full glory.
Weekend Open Bar: At Doom’s Gate With Friends!
We’re at Doom’s Gate, motherfuckers! But, we’re in it together. I know it seems like small potatoes, but this week has at least felt like a communal panic. It sounds absurd, but it’s nice to feel closer to the communities I’m belong to, and my friends. If we’re on the Titanic, at least we’re all waltzing together, no?
So, let’s waltz here! At the Weekend Open Bar! It’s usually the weekly siesta where we gather, and share what we’re up to during a specific Weekend. And, that’s still the point of this son of a bitch! But, let’s also just hang out, stare at the sky together, and metaphorically scream.
Let’s spend time, friends!
Rosario Dawson is playing motherfucking Ahsoka Tano in ‘The Mandalorian’ Season 2. Please, society, don’t collapse!
Man, I’m really hoping we can pull through this pandemic. Selfishly, just for pop culture reasons. I mean, Rosario Dawson playing Ahsoka Tano in The Mandalorian Season 2? Fuck to the yes. As well, I know it feels sort of silly to get excited about pop culture news these days. But, it may be the necessary distraction, and the light at the end of the tunnel to keep us all sane.
‘Watchmen’ showrunner Damon Lindelof wants to do something in ‘Star Wars’ and Marvel universes. Bro, let’s fucking go!
Damon Lindelof, the central brain behind HBO’s Watchmen, wants to play in the Star Wars and Marvel universes. And given how fucking fully Watchmen rocked, I absolutely need this to happen.
‘The Messenger’ developer’s next game is a Retro RPG called ‘Sea of Stars’ that takes place in the same universe. Fucking rad.
Provided that society doesn’t completely collapse, I’m fucking stoked for this shit. The people behind The Messenger have revealed their next game, Sea of Stars. It’s a retro RPG that takes place in the same universe as The Messenger and is inspired by Chrono Trigger. That said, they need our help to Kickstart it! Let’s go, friends.
And. Man, society. Please don’t collapse.
Sony reveals PlayStation 5 specs in insanely boring presentation by lead architect Mark Cerny
If you are like me, you’re deeply horny for some tangible next-gen news. Like, price points. Games. Release dates. But, first this week Microsoft failed to stroke me. And today, Sony followed suit.
Coronavirus Non-Commute: It’s Not Depression, It’s COVID-19!
It ain’t depression, friends! It’s COVID-19! And baby is it ever striking! I’m on Spring Break, but Spring Break during the apocalypse doesn’t really pop. You know? Everything is closed. Nothing to do. Except sit around, worry about my job, eat too much, and refresh /r/coronavirus. Not good! Not good at all.
As someone who needs the gym not just for his body, but for his mind, this is a bit of a tough stretch. As someone who needs social interaction and routine just to slathered together a dinted, but functioning psyche, this is a bit of a tough stretch.
Which is why I need you more than ever, my friends! To help me bask in the frivolity and distractions that we need to pad our lives with. Perhaps not solely bask in, but times like this prove more than ever, we need as humans.
Here’s what’s on my motherfucking mind this week, friends. The arts I’m embracing, the fears that are chasing, and other miscellany bullshit. I hope you’ll join me in the comments. ‘Cause, like, what the fuck else are you doing?
This is the Coronavirus Non-Commute, the really weird temporary off-shoot of Monday Morning Commute.
Sony offering PlayStation 5 details tomorrow! Spec porn war is officially on!
Yesterday, Microsoft dropped a fuck-ton of Xbox Series X specs that meant less than zero to me. Tomorrow, Sony is dropping a fuck-ton of PlayStation 5 specs that will mean less than zero to me! They’re just numbers! What do I want from both fucking companies at this point? Launch date, launch price, and launch titles. Fucking c’mon, fellas.
