‘We Knew We Were Pissed’
San Francisco, 1994 A group of dykes, feminists, queer punks, and onlookers crowded an unassuming martini bar as Lynn Breedlove and a few friends used a chainsaw, blood, and parts of a pig’s body from a Mission District butcher shop to protest sexual assault, police, and art-bro bullshit. “It was gnarly,” Breedlove remembers, noting that there was no warning for the audience. The performance was in direct response to the release of a zine called Answer Me, whose final controversial issue, The Rape Issue,gained popularity with shock-obsessed readers while deeply angering feminists. “We didn’t know what the fuck, but we knew we were pissed.” Little did Breedlove know that this night of performance would birth a queer punk poetry movement that would tour the country, and provide a platform fo...

Street Fighter 6 Brings Modern Style and Hip-Hop Culture to the Iconic Franchise
As we’ve previously discussed, there are very very few names in video games as big and as culturally relevant as Street Fighter. Since Street Fighter II launched in 1991 and transformed the fighting game world, Capcom’s flagship series has maintained its spot as the king of the genre. Now, as we inch toward Street Fighter 6 — the first title designed for the current generation of consoles — the series looks to continue to build on the success that some of Capcom’s other properties (like Resident Evil and Monster Hunter) have seen since Street Fighter V released in 2016. With a new visual flair and a more modern “urban” aesthetic, the series is branching out in directions it hasn’t entirely explored before — all while maintaining the tight gameplay and genre-defining features that the serie...
Daddy Issues
James Morosini’s I Love My Dad, which won both the audience and Grand Jury Award at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival, is a masterclass in cringe comedy.

Rule numero uno: show up. Establishing his boundaries, Franklin blocks his father across the social media board. And that’s when the fun (a relative term) begins. Totally misunderstanding an anecdote told to him by a coworker (played by Lil Rel Howery), ...
