I'm watching another delightful episode of the 80s British series "Let Me Tell You What an Arsehole My Partner Was" based on stories by Penname Pseudonym. I mean All Creatures Great & Small by "James Herriot."

The three lead characters from 1980s UK tv show All Creatures Great and Small: Siegfried, James and Tristan.

Am I a "plotter" or "pantser?" The 2 strategies are to write an outline or notes to plot out your novel or story before writing, or make it up by the seat of your pants. I make way too many notes until I can't remember them & they start to conflict with each other, then I pants it.

I love physical media, I love borrowing DVDs from my local library which keeps stocking new stuff. One downside is after you've watched 1 hour 15 minutes of a scary movie & then it hits a scratch on the disk & won't play anymore.

Your nana is your grandmother. My Nana is a dancer, an alien, the rebooted mother of Jason Voorhees. We are not the same.

Actress Nana Visitor lying on wooden floor wearing black, one-piece bathing suit with fishnet stockings and gold shoes that might be made for tap-dancing. She's propping up her head and shoulders, has one knee in the air with foot on the ground, the other ankle on top of her knee, and a black top hat on her higher foot. She is smiling slightly toward the camera and has bobbed dark hair.

Why do conservatives pick lobsters & wolves as role models for human behavior? Cuz they're cherry-picking ones that they think fit the behavior they endorse. (And they're wrong about "alpha" wolves. And we shouldn't use non-human animals as role models bc humans are different.)

What if instead of breaking up monopolies, we nationalize them? Your company dominates an industry with unfair labor practices, you're done. The people own it. "But it's not fair when the government monopolizes something either." It's closer to fair than what we get from "the market."

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

Print ad from Dragon Magazine #153 (Jan 1990). On the one hand it's cool that a company in Gulfport, Mississippi was making indie ttrpgs in 1990. On the other hand, they're rescuing Ollie North and fighting "hussies" and "bimbos." 😬

RESCUE OLLIE NORTH! (CF 01) $4.00 An extremely tongue-in-cheek game “liberally’’ (you should excuse the expression) laced with satire. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to rescue Lt. Col. Ollie North from the midst of courtroom proceedings and rabid reporters, in the grand tradition of red-blooded heroism (see also any “Rambo” movie. For solo or 2-player fun.

PIZZA WARS (HTE 01) $4.00 This Zany combat game gives a new meaning to. “food fight”: Two or more players can engage in brutally omnivorous conquest in the fands of the Imperator. Includes all rules necessary for conducting both basic PIZZA WARS and PIZZA WARS IMPERIUM, You'll! need a Pizza and toppings, toothpicks and one or more dice to play.

MACHO WOMEN WITH GUNS
(BTRC MW-01) $4.00 Silly fun in shameless (hussy!) style, lampoons that mainstay and cliche of SF, fantasy and superheroics (not to mention pin-up calendars) and answering the burning question, “How do they run with those @+f$%*!! high heets''? Now in. its 2nd edition, with an even larger map and a full set of spiffy Cardboard Bimbos!

In an episode of Star Trek: TNG, the whole crew gets amnesia. They try to deduce who they are, what their mission is. Soon they find records of crew names & ranks, instantly conforming to the old heirarchy. So if you can induce amnesia & adjust records to show you're the captain, you got a starship.

Two Doctors Who in this episode of All Creatures Great and Small from 1980. Peter Davison was a regular on All Creatures and the 5th Doctor. Under all that hair and beard is Patrick Troughton, the 2nd Doctor.

Picture from a 1980 episode of the tv show All Creatures Great and small. Two veterinarians investigate a dog laid on a table while aman with bushy gray hair and beard watches. Actor Robert Hardy is bent over so we only see the top of his head. Patrick Troughton looks on with concern and Peter Davison holds the dog still.

If you're lonely, military doctors are standing by to confirm how often you have erections, time of day, duration, whether you can complete the act. Recruiters can tell high school kids they'll get the best medical treatment in the world from minds like RKF jr and Dr. Oz.

The stupid thing about the broken-watch-at-crime-scene-proves-time-of-death trope (on this episode of Hawaii Five-Oh) is you can just crack the glass and the watch can keep running. How hard do you have to smash it to make it stop moving? Maybe they're not as tough as I assume.

He presses the servant Nelly for gossip & she takes over, then she reads him a letter from Isabella. Three narrators deep so far.
