So after the highly-successful 50th anniversary pilot special earlier this year, Disney still hasn't greenlit a Muppet Show reboot because the three production companies involved are having trouble "cracking the premise". WHAT DO YOU MEAN!? IT'S THE MUPPET SHOW, THAT'S THE PREMISE. FUCK.

I just realized the latest season of King of the Hill really dropped the ball by not naming their episode with Hank at the nerd convention "BWAHmic-Con".

I've been reading through the original Lee/Kirby Fantastic Four and having a blast. I can see why this is the magazine that put Marvel Comics on the map. Say what you want about Stan Lee, but one thing the man's work never lacked was personality. This is male friendship in its purest form.
A panel from 1963's Fantastic Four #19: 

The Thing lifts Mr. Fantastic off the ground in joy after getting exciting news, saying "Reed, you ol' dictionary-readin' double-talkin' rubber-boned egghead! What are we standin' around jawin' for!? Let's go!!" 

Mr. Fantastic responds "Ben, you hot-tempered, loudmouthed, beetle-brained gargoyle... That's what I was WAITING for you to say!!"

Is it bad I found out there's a tornado warning happening in Gencon's area and my first thought was "Wow think of how many dice that tornado would be rolling"?

I am really fucking tired of hearing that the USA needs to be competitive against the rest of the world in AI. That's like saying "We need to be best in the world at punching ourselves in the crotch".

I thought a Spirited Away/Lilo and Stitch double feature in memoriam of Daveigh Chase would destroy me emotionally but it actually made me feel a lot better. She did some really great work that'll keep making people happy forever.

You know what I don't get today is like, why are there things in the world that don't have anything to do with Pokémon? Who is that for? It doesn't make any sense.

I wonder if it ever occurred to Trump that the reason he's never seen Kaitlin Collins smile in ten years is because every time he's seen her she's been stuck in a room with a rapist.

The thing that sucks about growth is when you suddenly realize something you like may be problematic. I should not be questioning if I should delete, of all things, the Team Chaotix theme from Sonic Heroes from my music library because I find it iffy how they use "brain-damaged" as a pejorative.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

"Facism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike."
User dratsab huffman asks the question:

To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism".

Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?Recalcitrant Jester replies:
Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis.

In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness.

The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

Last night of Chanukah is bittersweet. A full menorah with all the candles lit is very satisfying, but knowing it’s the end of the holiday brings down my mood. Still, I like how the ending this year lined up with the New Year. I feel really ready to move into whatever comes next.

Does anyone else ever go through word phases, where you just find yourself using a particular word a lot for a period of time that you don't usually use as much, or even at all? Lately I've been saying "homie" a lot. This shit just happens to me sometimes and I have no idea why.

The other day I got inspired to make a sexy hunks calendar for my D&D campaign. I spent more time designing the hunks in Heroforge than running the session they were in, but my players loved it. I figured I'd share 'em here too. Tawdry descriptions in the alt text. (1/3)
Mr. Jamabary: Hot as Fire (26, Serval Tabaxi): This hunk proves that great things come in small packages. A monster hunter of the plains, Hot as Fire is looking for that special someone to bring home his quarry to. Maybe if you’re lucky, he’ll show you how he uses his spear.Mr. Febaroon: Piktes Grandbrow (33, Leonin): The great baritone of the Vannadine Opera has a bod just as strong as his legendary voice. A hunk of culture, Piktes is also a seasoned gourmet, with vast culinary knowledge and a willingness to eat anything. And we do mean anything.Mr. Mirge: Vril Ridgeride (22, Centaur): This hunky young stallion is set to be the herd leader of this year’s Greatest Gallop, making him the youngest centaur to lead the runners in the history of the event. But don’t let that intimidate you. Vril’s willing to take things at whatever speed you want.

(Note: The Greatest Gallop is a massive group marathon run by centaurs)Mr. Eggril: Bontomov (20, Loxodon): This young go-getter is the babyfaced new goalie of the Spade Island Buccaneers. This hunk is known by thaw-brawl fans for two things; His gentle and polite manner out of the pit, and his ability to totally cover the goal. Maybe if you’re as polite as he is, he’ll cover you too.

(Note: Thaw-brawl is a fantasy version of hockey I created for my homebrew setting)

Post a character you like and tag others to do the same. DC Comics' Deadman is a ghost acrobat who has to possess people to do heroics. I love him 'cuz he's got a real beleaguered everyman vibe and his stories are about the value of life. @alexweitzman.bsky.social @terravanceryoh.bsky.social
