    Tips for getting started on gardening.

    If it's a small garden, I'd start out weeding, loosening any tough soil, removing rocks.

    MAGA

    Throw a rock at any magical highschool, shounen tournament arc, or or cute girls show and you're going to get an avalanche of fanservice aimed at hetero male audiences. Nevermind the slice-of-life and historical action pieces that have yuri undertones. The market is pretty saturated in...

    Iron Fist trailer

    The trailer feels a bit too much like Daredevil with a glowy fist. Right down to the hallway fight scene. Sure, those are cool. But do we need every member of the Defenders to have one?

    Yuri on Ice First Impressions (Spoiler warning)

    I believe that niche is filled by Keijo this season. Not on ice, but still over a pool. (NSFW)

    Favorite electronic songs

    Pretty much any song by Sean & Bobo, Blackstripe, or Vonikk. I make no claims of having refined tastes in music.
