++ American Gods has been cancelled after three seasons. Let's be honest, this was inevitable and unsurprising considering the amount of controversy surrounding everything that occurred behind-the-scenes. From the constant hiring and firing of showrunners and cast members leaving or being fired along with the racism and mistreatment of some of those cast members, the entire production was just a trashfire mess. And not an entertaining way either, but in a "how can you continuously fuck up this badly?" kind of way. I barely heard anything about the show itself after the first season, only the behind-the-scenes drama that just kept getting worse and worse. It's disappointing and a damn shame since the show started out incredibly strong with a fantastic first season and had real potential of being something spectacular, but they just kept fucking things up.
++ Apparently a local convention is decidedly happening this weekend (I know, I wtf'd too), preventing people from getting their vaccinations in the building that it is being held. This has created an outrage, and rightfully so. Listen, I miss going to conventions as much as the next person who attends these things and I know businesses are massively struggling during this time, but this is still incredibly too soon. I cannot foresee in-person conventions happening in the near-future because, aside from the pandemic still happening I just don't trust people at this point in time to follow the simple standard health guidelines (people are still being entitled and selfish when it comes to wearing a goddamn mask, ffs). I hope the event gets cancelled, because not only is this incredibly unsafe but it's also just moronic as hell. In the grand scheme of things, people's health and safety should come first and are more important than an anime convention.
