Hey, fundraising activist-people? This is not a good way to go about winning my support or donations. What is the matter with you guys?
Email subject line: Are you ignoring us now?

Hey, the Enterprise-D! Pretty cool. But does it do 100 points of damage to a creature when you attack?

I don't mean to nitpick, but... it seems like this guy should use Demonstrate somehow. Like tap to give your next instant or sorcery demonstrate. Y'know, because "leading by example." Or Mentor, maybe? I dunno, what do I know.

They made that Quests of Yore RPG, after all, and Card Wars, so why not?

I DGAF about "today's homes"; these things are toys for kids, not decor. They should be colorful and fun. What kinda kid wants muted, neutral tones? What kid wants a beige beach ball?

We still have a few minutes left of Star Trek's 60th here on the West Coast, a good excuse to publicly thank @mikemcmahan.bsky.social for signing my copies of the STA Lower Decks book and the Lower Decks art book at SDCC. (I brought the STA book; the art book was an impulse buy in line.)

What other shirt could I wear to see the best* Star Trek movie? * Differing opinions respected but not required at this time.

An extremely weird decision, and clearly one borne of "This is what the audience expects Jedi to look like" rather than anything practical or consistent with the worldbuilding. Fortunately, Rebels gives us plenty of sensibly dressed lightsaber-wielding characters.

I know why they started shooting without a finished script: because it worked ONE TIME, on Iron Man, and now they've deluded themselves into thinking that it's a viable way to shoot EVERY Marvel movie.

Crown of Chains is about the secret auction of a powerful artifact in the town of Fax. Your task: Pose as potential buyers, win that auction, and keep the titular crown out of the wrong hands. Largely focused on social interaction, but players being what they are, who can say. (Sunday 9am)

I've already given it up, dingus. I never started. These people have no idea. There's never a time that I hear that someone's used ChatGPT or whatever to do their thinking for them that I don't lose respect for that person. Why would anyone want to do this to themself? It's baffling.

"All the people who are anti-AI or want to slow AI progress, I have one question:

"If AI disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other AI tool? Imagine AI was suddenly banned. Would you actually be willing to give it up?"

"D&D is back!" say four middle-aged white guys who've always had the D&D the wanted anyway. I dunno, I just don't think this is a great look. There's all this talk of bringing D&D "back" to people -- where are they suggesting it went? What's that supposed to mean?

I know some* people have theorized that Swan Boy is just a figment of Noel's imagination. This is an artist's rendering of what this panel would look like if that theory turns out to be true**.

In 2026, every parent's worst nightmare is catching their child up past their bedtime searching YouTube for "meanest videos."

Imagine wanting to ask this question to get the conversation back on track.
Crystal the panda-lady asking "You said you were hit by two cars?" Before her is a plate of food -- could be pasta, could be salad. They got both kinds at Carrabba's.
