Received my copy of the Ars Magica definitive edition, which looks extremely nice in print. Now to start scratching at my friends' doors like a cat begging to be fed until a few poor souls agree to join me in a game of Wizard Academic Time Management Simulator.

Cover of the Ars Magica Definitive Edition slipcase. The reddish brown cover is rimmed with gold leaves and vines. Three gold serpents coil around each other to form a series of triangles within a circle.

The slipcase and its contents, the rulebook open to a two page spread showing a seaside castle, a map of Mythic Europe, a GM screen, and a reference guide spread out on a table.

Just got recommended a YouTube video discussing a book, only the creator used the new built-in AI thumbnail generator. so instead of showing the actual cover, it has a weird imitation with incorrect authors' names. Glad to live in the era of the one click "make this incredibly shitty" solution.

The actual cover for 'GURPS: Religion' by Janet Naylor and Carolene Julian. A robed and hooded woman stands before the gate to an ominous foggy graveyard levitating a small golden orb between her hands. The full moon hangs directly above her head, but it appears dim and the scene remains largely dark apart from the orb illuminating the woman's hands and face.

The fake AI generated "cover" for 'GURPS: Religion' crediting the book to "Janet Taylor and Gabrielle Jordan." A hooded and robed man stands before a wonky looking gate to a bunch of vague foggy nothingness holding a large, slightly squished looking, 'orb' with his extremely fucked up fingers. Everything has that generic AI glossiness to it.

Glad I didn't skip the most basic of Unity's tutorials. I might have never known that rather than learning to use Unity, I could instead not do that.

Seeing a lot of people reposting and responding to this as if it were real. It's not. "Politcs For You" is yet another shitty "comedy" news account.

Twitter post with a picture of Liz Truss and the caption:

BREAKING 🚨 🚨 🚨

Liz Truss suggests "underground transgender mafia" may be responsible for Italian chocolate heist that saw over 12 tonnes of KitKats stolen.

The people cry out for the Juggernaut menacing the Leprechauns who live in his boyfriend's childhood castle.

A crowd of leprechauns fleeing the Juggernaut and Black Tom Cassidy. One clutches her leprechaun baby to her chest.

Captions read: "It began about a month ago when Black Tom Cassidy tricked his way back into this castle that had once been his home. He brought Juggernaut in with him! Ye can guess what happened next."

People argue back and forth over whether Krakoa should have stuck around or if X-Men comics need a school. But I think we can all agree that what modern X-Men comics are really missing is the Juggernaut calling people "impish jackrabbits."

Juggernaut punching the ground with a dramatic "SHOK!" sound effect, demanding that Nightcrawler "Stand still, you impish jackrabbit!".

'Tis the season for the Salvation Army's We're Not Bigots Anymore PR blitz. Looking at their public facing material, you might start to believe them. So in the festive spirit, have a 2024 SalvationArmy.org article on how trans and gay people are one of Satan's "most insidious and dominating" plots.

One of the most insidious and dominating ways he does this in today’s culture is through the perversion of human sexuality. Satan has convinced people that to find their identity, they must follow every sexual proclivity, love whichever gender they want, and even harm their own bodies to look like a different sex to be the truest version of themselves. The rise of homosexuality, transgenderism, pornography, fornication, and other sexual immorality has become the “end all be all” of identity today.

Trump's *really* not toning down, let alone dropping, the annexation talk.

A 31 minute old post from Donald Trump's @realDonaldTrump Truth Social account:

"We pay hundreds of Billions of Dollars to SUBSIDIZE Canada. Why? There is no reason. We don’t need anything they have. We have unlimited Energy, should make our own Cars, and have more Lumber than we can ever use. Without this massive subsidy, Canada ceases to exist as a viable Country. Harsh but true! Therefore, Canada should become our Cherished 51st State. Much lower taxes, and far better military protection for the people of Canada — AND NO TARIFFS!"

Hey, @nytimes.com any words for your Canadian readers concerned by you publishing a column arguing in favour of the annexation of our country?

New York Times opinion headline: 'O Canada, Come Join Us' by Ross Douthat, published January 11, 2025 at 7:00 am ET

I offer these bona fides, proofs of a current of maple syrup running through my children’s veins, as a preface to a controversial claim: that Donald Trump’s kidding-or-is-he suggestion that Canada belongs inside our union is not a threat but an opportunity, that Canada might be better off joined to our continental Republic, with the wintry 1775 defeat of Richard Montgomery and Benedict Arnold finally reversed.

Glad to see *someone* is doing to important work of warning Gamers away from "anti-human" pro 'dive into the sea to live eternally with your Deep One kin' propaganda.

Fox News with the scoop that Tim Walz allegedly helped troubled youth with the power of sport. Troubling rumours suggest Walz may also have banded together with a group of misfits to prevent a buffoonish property developer from destroying their charming small town.

Series 1 is some of the best written, cast, and acted television I've ever seen. By series 4 we decided to turn it off in favour of finishing the Horns of Nimon. No seriously.

A television set showing a frame from the Doctor Who serial The Horns of Nimon in which three goofy looking space minotaurs struggle to walk in their awkward costumes.
