The movies, shows, books, and music we couldn’t stop thinking about this year 

Vox 

When you see a movie or read a book that you can’t get out of your head, there’s nothing better than sharing that experience with other people. But in a fractured media landscape — with countless new releases a year and a significant portion of the entire history of human culture at our fingertips — […]

The best PC games of 2024 (that don’t need a graphics card)

PC World 

I’ve been writing these roundups for seven years running and in that time integrated graphics have gotten a lot more powerful.

Last week I wrote, enthusiastically, about Paul Krugman, an insufferable my-brain’s-on-Windex crank who contributed pro-Democrat bile to the paper for 25 years, announcing his retirement.
