My Twitter feed informed me today that my current obsession, the music video to “Gangnam Style” by Korean pop singer Psy, has passed 100 million hits on YouTube. The cool kids love it. The masses love it.
Even Batman loves it.

“It’s More Interested in Wet Things than Sleek Hardware”
Abhay Khosla has a really interesting essay on Brandon Graham et al’s recreation of Prophet up at Savage Critics: But so, PROPHET: space opera– guys with swords fighting it out in a conveniently monster-filled expanse of outer space, plus the requisite amount of used-bookstore paperback covers sexuality (e.g. the last issue featuring one of the [...]
Martha Thomases: Fanboys In Congress
