Another one that saw heavy HBO rotation. "Un loaf de bread, s'il vous plait."

Oh god. I remember this. "Make a boat." "Out of what? "OUT OF PLANE!"

I saw this about a million times on HBO circa 1982. 10 year-old me loved it. No plans to test that.

What if, and I know this sounds crazy, we let college sports burn to the ground?

Haven't done this for awhile. Now spinning... What's on your work from home soundtrack?

I was so glad of another Mogo reference.

OK. All caught up on Lanterns. You can talk about it now.

Remember this shit next time some billionaire or billionaire's lickspittle warns about class war. There's never not been one, and they wage it openly against us.

Nostalgia sucks. But I don't think that's what they were going for.

I don't want to join the dunks on Kai. I just wanted to warn him that there are kids on his lawn playing rock 'n' roll music.

This was great and you should read it. The "Fables" crossover seemed like it might lead to the three leads interacting in a more human-scale pocket of the DC Universe. Alas, it was very limited. Hardman's series felt like 80s chickens coming to roost (complementary).

More perhaps than any other game, this allows GMs to fuck with their PCs. I ran a game with 14 players. Had three team leaders of different ranks, gave people equipment they weren't authorized to have, made one player the keeper of the bathroom pass and assigned another to guard an old-world...

I love this game so hard. Or I did. Probably too real now.

Man. If only these HEADS OF AI FIRMS were in a position to do something about that.

Didn't Charlie admit he couldn't turn his wife on? Or was that some other chud.

I don't know enough about any of these people and the situation to have an opinion about what is apparently a Big Fucking Deal. And...I'm ok with that.

That Justice League Unlimited episode is amazing and gets me every time. The Batman described here is also why, despite Warren Ellis turning out to be a chud, "Planetary/Batman: Night on Earth" is my favorite single Batman comic. The team chases an accidental villain through several iterations...

The world only becomes better by comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable (at least until that impossible moment when ALL are comforted).

Teaching is nourishment; it's literally one of the meanings of "educare." Can a machine nourish? Teaching is humans connecting with other humans.

9/11 is the biggest squandered opportunity of my lifetime. For a moment, we had the chance to become larger, to use the goodwill generated to work towards a better world. Instead we chose vengeance, accepted the steady erosion of cherished freedoms, setting the stage for this. Every year I...

How about instead of spending all this money to protect yourself from the consequences of your actions you just strop doing shitty things, Anthropic?
