Assassin’s Creed Odyssey runs through the Peloponnesian War. Kassandra is a misthios — a mercenary for hire — descended from Leonidas and carrying what is left of his spear, and…
I grew up in this area, so I was around when KTXT became “Lubbock’s only alternative.” And, I’m old enough to remember the “this is your brain on drugs” commercials…
Spot lived for 7,471 days, almost 100 years in human terms, and I’ll miss her for the rest of mine.
Last night, Spot (my cat) kept me company while I was sick. I was having severe chills and curled up in the fetal position. She deliberately laid down on the…
I don’t remember what the assignment was here, but I know I wrote it for a class. It could’ve been a really vague assignment like “write a 1500 word story with first-person dialogue.” I really don’t know.

One of my classmates that reviewed the story felt it was a completely unrealistic story, and I’m sure they are right. But cautionary tales aren’t supposed to be warm, fuzzy, and realistic. They’re supposed to be terrifying. It should also be noted that I wrote this two years before World War Z was published, so the “human ramp” idea was my own.

Why is it a logic leap to say that existence implies a creator, but statistical inevitability is not? During a discussion I was having with one of my very good…
A stretched matte canvas that blends science and spirit with quiet humor. Rendered in a chalkboard style, white handwritten Maxwell equations sit beneath the phrase “And God said,” and finish…
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild opens with Link waking after a hundred years asleep, Hyrule already lost and Calamity Ganon still barely held. He is the series’…
