Visual novel Coffee Talk Tokyo serves up an image of 'Cool Japan,' but not much more

Coffee Talk started out as a slice-of-life visual novel casting you as a night-shift barista serving Seattle’s uniquely magical residents, from elves to vampires to succubi, hearing out and advising their whims and woes over steaming cups. Its strength was not just in the individual lines of dialogue spouting from these monsters (affectionate), but also in how those were placed within the context of Magical Seattle: a thread of societal distaste towards interspecies relationships, for example, is held taut through several characters’ arcs, not just in the two characters whose parents explicitly disapprove of them for it. Opinions and arguments towards the ills facing this world are treated with the weight they deserve, acknowledging the fluidity of both public opinion and the problems themselves. Read more

'They chased out the normal guys’: Democrats mocked over scandal-hit Senate candidate

Sky News host James Morrow believes years of branding straight white men as "Nazis, rapists and sex abusers" have left Democrats scrambling for credible candidates. “For the last 10 or 20 years, the Democrat Party has gone around telling everybody that straight white men are actually Nazis, rapists, and sex abusers,” Mr Morrow said. “It seems to me that having chased all the normal white guys out of the party, now when they need them because they want to project an era of normality, who’s surprised when they wind up with a candidate who turns out to be all their stereotypes.”

This Bats**t New Movie Will Have You Laughing in Horror

Warner Bros. PicturesLeaning as heavily on comedy as horror, the original Evil Dead trilogy was fueled by star Bruce Campbell’s peerless blend of stoutness and silliness, which gave its demonic malevolence a Looney Tunes cartoonishness that was as zany as director Sam Raimi’s stewardship.The franchise’s rebooted big-screen phase, on the other hand, has not only done away with Campbell but, with him, any genuine wackiness, instead defining itself via over-the-top gore. Consequently, it’s a genuine shock to discover that, to a far greater extent than its two predecessors, Evil Dead Burn finds the funny in the fantastically nasty—and, in doing so, proves a stomach-churningly amusing nightmare.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Podcast: Resist digital hegemony!

Voices from within the academy are now raising the alarm about the decline of literacy under the relentless assault of totalized digital immersion—finally catching up to what CounterVortex blogger and ranter Bill Weinberg has been saying for years (although sneering denialism about the problem remains fashionable). Worldwide, the humanities are being abandoned in favor of STEM, while social media overtakes legacy media as a source of news—or (as is more often the case) sinister propaganda. In Episode 333 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill takes stock of this grave and still under-appreciated threat to the survival of democracy and humanity itself—and looks for signs of practical resistance.
