Dave Chappelle isn’t an Enemy of the Trans Community, He’s an Advocate
Photo by John Bauld Dave Chappelle has gotten a ton of attention with The Closer. His latest Netflix special, the transgender, LBGT and MeToo communities are not happy. Understandable, there’s an onslaught of raucous and down right hurtful jokes aimed at those groups. But people are only offended because they just don’t understand what a real comic does. So as to not leave them hanging, I’m going to explain standup as a civic duty.

Review of 'Omens Bite'
Something wicked this way comes... Twin sisters, Mercy and Hunter are witches, direct descendants of the Goode family, the founders of their town. After the murder of their mother at the hands of a foul demon, they have become the protectors of the Gates to different underworlds--ancient portals between their world and realms where mythology rules and the darkest of creatures exist. Grief has taken a terrible toll on the twins. Rather than bringing them together, their sadness has torn them apart, driving Mercy to attempt to save the crumbling Gates without her twin and Hunter into the arms of a dangerous goddess. While Mercy looks for aid from Khenti, Guardian of the Egyptian Underworld, Hunter begins to realize the goddess she’s allied with is more monster than deity. She needs her sister’s help, but Mercy is beyond her reach on an adventure that could cost them everything, including their world.

Little Fires Everywhere: A Soothing Drama Adaptation
Books have a mystic ability to create and immerse the readers in a universe that stirs up their minds. Whenever literary-inspired films manage to capture their viewers in that universe, history is made on the big screen and on over-the-top platforms. Little Fires Everywhere, a novel-inspired web series, might be listed as the latest in this list.

Doctor Who: The Companion Chronicles: The Invasion of E-Space Review
Season 18 of Doctor Who was one of the most groundbreaking and experimental in the show's history. To this day, it remains one of the most thematically consistent seasons of the classic series, and, while it isn't one that has been revisited that often in the years since, it is one that is still held in huge regard by Doctor Who fans. So, when, in 2010, Big Finish released "The Invasion of E-Space", there was a lot of anticipation for this story. Added to that was the fact that this would be the first story written by Andrew Smith since his debut, "Full Circle" (the first part of the E-Space trilogy from Season 18), back in 1980. As such, there was a lot of anticipation for this story, and it is a shame that it isn't quite as strong as a lot of Doctor Who fans were hoping for. Don't get me wrong - "The Invasion of E-Space" is a perfectly serviceable, decent Doctor Who story. However, this doesn't really have a lot of the heart the Companion Chronicles traditionally employ, and there's nothing here that makes this standout from most other Doctor Who stories: something that, at its best, Season 18 did in spades.

Why You Need To Be Critical Of Technology Articles
One of my least favorite things is reading technology articles on this very website and others and pointing out the ridiculous, illogical, erroneous, and deceptive things that are written to share with people. I also hate reading articles where the journalists don’t bother doing any research or digging into the topic for themselves, but instead rely on the person/company being written about for all of the content. A lot of my articles on here are inspired by that exact bullshit content.
