Please continue with the cultural commentary! That’s the primary reason I subscribed. You are supremely talented at political and cultural criticisms. I may not always completely agree with your points of view, but I genuinely enjoy reading what you have to say and appreciate your opinions. I myself am a humor writer (albeit mediocre one), and you have the guts to say some of the things I’m not sure I could dare say for fear of being blacklisted among humor publications. I respect the hell out of the cultural commentary aspect of this newsletter and your fearlessness in writing about what you believe is right.

I first discovered your writing a few years ago. I loved reading your Forbes reviews of Walking Dead episodes. I get that games and television are probably what you prefer to write about more, so that’s understandable, but I think it would be great if you continued with more societal observations. You’re good at it! Just one reader’s opinion. Thank you for what you do, best wishes in 2022.

Hmm, from 2021 I really liked Squid Game except perhaps the last 2 episodes. Still looking forward to Season 2 (against better judgement). I watched the new Dune but didn't have time to read the book; I enjoyed the movie much more than that weird one from the 80s. I also played a lot of video games but almost none were released in 2021. What else? I just started going to the gym again after a pandemic-length hiatus and then we went back into pandemic mode due to omicron. Damn! I'm so out of shape it's just sad at this point.

Another thing I enjoyed in 2021 was Diabolical! Stay healthy and take care of yourself. Merry Christmas and New Year!
