Just like you, but different. Batteries not included. Not available in all states (like plasma). Potrzebie. DCC rpg. If you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce, they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know…

Saw the new MST3K episode, Sting of Death, last night — laughed out loud throughout. Thought it would get more people laughing out loud, too, but I guess critical mass was not there… Also, one couple had Tom Servo with them (shoulda got a pic I guess) — was like watching with royalty!

Overall, Christopher Nolan did a great job but I still prefer the Adam West/Burt Ward Odyssey.

I sometimes forget how much I enjoy designing weird fantasy monsters until I do it again and rediscover that fizzy happiness…
A phone photo of a laptop screen showing a rough layout with the names and in some cases the partial write ups of several monsters, including the Trampler, and Whammits, and the so-called Wandering Sponge… 

One creature’s write up ends with the phrase “…from hours to a week to gain the trust of humanoids, whereupon they will try to eat them in their sleep.”

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
