| How Renewables Could Help Us Survive a Walking Dead-Style Zombie Apocalypse Posted: 20 Aug 2021 10:50 AM PDT  When it comes to gore, I am a really big baby—my weak stomach and low startle point have kept me far away from The Walking Dead for the decade it's been on TV.

| The Radical Sincerity of Evangelion's Final End Posted: 20 Aug 2021 09:30 AM PDT  Neon Genesis Evangelion has ended. It's done this before, of course—it's done it several times, from its original TV series to its movie continuation End of Evangelion, its manga adaptation, and now, with the release of 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time, its "Rebuild" theatrical self.
