pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

People who don’t create anything always seem to have the loudest critiques of art. Perpetual consumers should simply eat what’s on their plate and seal their lips after.

Shaky cam footage for what is certainly one of the most skill-dense tournaments in recent xrd memory

Lots of great sets here to check out

Thanks to everyone that helped record and compile these
Hey folks, it's a few weeks late but I now have all of the pools matches we recorded into a playlist on Youtube! We got 25 different sets that couldn't be streamed this year so make sure to check it out! (And I'll try to get them on Replaytheater eventually!)

A lot of people think it’s perfectly normal for white boys and men to go through a racist or nazi phase. They think it’s just part of the coming-of-age process, and that eventually, these boys will learn to hide or change those beliefs enough to participate in polite (not kind) society.

"Everyone moving in perfect union" is an authoritarian fantasy it's the aesthetics of dictatorship, fascism or reactionary state communism. Individuals making one body is Nuremberg rallies and military parades, it's a modernist fantasy of submission into a giant machine in the name of forward motion

I’ve never really been impressed by my own play in Xrd, but recently I’ve been having a lot of moments during VOD review where I genuinely think “damn that was nice!”

Experimental version of Xrd Replay Takeover for any who'd like to try it out while it's still a bit unstable. There's a couple visual issues and crashes I'm working on but it's hopefully functional enough to start being useful.

College radio stations are seeing a surge in student interest.
