Dystopian futures. Time travel. Alternate dimensions. Genre’s having a moment right now, especially on TV, where Hulu made history with The Handmaid’s Tale and FX continues to squeeze blood from a stony turd with American Horror Story.

This month’s Humble Monthly already featured Overwatch as an early-unlock game, in addition to Dungeons 3 and Hidden Folks, which is pretty damn good lineup. But if you were still on the fence, they just added a $25 Humble Wallet credit when you prepay for a year (which effectively brings the price down to $11 per…

It’s been a long, circuitous journey, but Lil’ Wayne lived up to his promises that hip-hop’s Chinese Democracy, Tha Carter V, would receive a 2018 release. It’s out today, and do know that the fault isn’t on Weezy so much as the red tape that often gums up the music industry. Announced in 2012 and slated for a 2014…

One wonders, however, how his career may have unspooled had he heeded…

The public policy around police-involved shootings of unarmed African-Americans hasn’t progressed much since civil unrest in Ferguson, Missouri pointed klieg lights at the issue four years ago.

In a roundabout way, we have Tom Hanks to thank for one of our very few mainstream gay rom-coms.
