Neil Gaiman Denies Sexual-Assault Allegations

Following his denial of the accusations, Neil Gaiman shared a link to an anonymous Substack publication that defends him. TechnoPathology, the author of the Substack, began writing in April 2025, identifying as a veteran of online journalism from the 2010s. They started covering Gaiman’s case in July, asserting his innocence. TechnoPathology clarifies this isn’t just about legal guilt, but a firm belief that Gaiman is not a sexual predator. They point out that the original podcast making the allegations, Tortoise, has connections to the TERF movement in the U.K., and that Gaiman is a vocal supporter of trans rights. The Substack includes links to a related sub-Reddit and a way for readers to donate to the project.

There’s been a lot of buzz about her possibly being in Avengers: Doomsday, but so far, Marvel hasn’t officially said if that’s happening.

The Real Housewives of Potomac Season-Finale Recap: Homecoming

This season of Potomac featured some major off-screen developments for the cast, including Wendy’s indictment and Karen’s DUI conviction and sentencing. While I’m a bit frustrated by the decision, I get why the finale will be an exclusive one-on-one interview with Karen, led by Andy Cohen, rather than a separate special or an appearance on Watch What Happens Live. It makes sense given the significance of these events.
