A nice haul this week, as I was still recovering from the cat’s attempt to remove my finger.

Lucasfilm’s Disregard for the O.G. Heir to the STAR WARS Empire Is Part of a Larger Entertainment Industry Problem (substack.com): Nice piece on how little media companies, and the creative executives in them, care for the people who create the ideas that generate their income.

Jen Myers · It's Not Okay to Start Late: A tribute to us late bloomers.

The Columbia OB-GYN Who Sexually Assaulted Patients for More Than 20 Years — ProPublica: There is no accountability in America for anyone in power, anywhere.

How Good Omens Queers the Bible | Tor.com: Despite the title, this is one of the most interesting takes on the Book of Job I have ever read.

The Shylock of the Lord of the Rings - by Noah Berlatsky (everythingishorrible.net): This is wat good literary criticism is meant to do: make you rethink something you thought you knew well.

The Passing of the Dragon | Tor.com: Is this a wee bit self-indulgent? Maybe, but fuck it. Life is hard and we need reminders that it should mean more than the grind.

Colorado’s most interesting team? It’s Jay Norvell’s, not Deion Sanders’, squad - The Athletic: I know everyone wants to deride Norvell as a scold, but he has built a remarkably diverse team, giving students a chance where others may not have.

Collections: The Gap in the Armor of Baldur’s Gate and 5e – A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry (acoup.blog): Dr. Devereaux does this so well — taking a bit of popular culture and using it to explore history.

Enjoy the week, everyone!
