Combined with fencing to keep the animals off the road, the structures have reduced animal-vehicle collisions in the area by more than 80% (>96% for elk and deer alone).

No Safe Words with Neil Gaiman

New York Magazine publishes a cover article going into copious detail on Neil Gaiman’s alleged sex crimes. There is only one new accuser, and the article abruptly shies away from the obvious question about his current relationship to Scientology and how that has benefited his career, but the details of the existing accusations are worse […]

"This person also coined the term ‘sigma,’ which refers to a man who “doesn’t play the social game and manages to win at it anyhow”.

"While he goes by a few names, The Dark Lord is preferred by some fans.

"I’m choosing not to directly name the author or the blog for a couple of reasons. The first is cowardice – plain and simple. Old Mate (as I’ll refer to him henceforth - Dark Lord feels too melodramatic) has been known to participate in some light doxxing. Frankly, I’d rather avoid the hassle of drawing his ire and having his fans set on me. Hopefully, my obtuse references will be enough to appease everyone.

Game Over, Gaiman

The Dark Herald nukes Neil Gaiman by pointing out his essential mediocrity: Neil Gaiman had an extraordinary career. And I mean that literally. It was Extra Ordinary. Writers who’ve hit it big all have the same complaint. Some rando will come up to them and make the following offer; “I’ve got this absolutely amazing idea […]

"Perhaps it may sound far-fetched to some to suggest that we're on course for a future where most or all of our high-profile media figures - celebrities, politicians, royalty - are replaced by glorified cartoons. Yet in assessing the likelihood or accuracy of this prediction, it's critical to remember we were warned over 40 years ago exactly where the establishment intended to go with its control over people's perceptions of reality:

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false," said William J. Casey, CIA Director, in 1981."

The Bad Road Not Taken

When Arkhaven Comics launched, we made a non-obvious decision to stay out of the comic stores and the traditional distribution system. This significantly slowed our growth and our exposure to potential customers, but it has proven, over time, to have been the right decision. The reason we can say that is because, as Fandom Pulse […]
