It is really, really depressing to learn how many people do not in fact find that obvious.

I started reading 4th Wing—that looks wrong—Fourth Wing. Anyway, the first person present tense is sending me. I don't know that I'll ever be used to it. But the story is good so far. Vicki was surprised I'd read something so het, but any drink is a desert...

Never have I ever written a mimic into an adventure because it's my brand. I do it because they're appropriate for the situation... Which is often.

been thinkin about how robots are gonna kill us
Scratchy drawing of a two panel comic.
Panel 1: 
Titled:“How we thought robots would kill us”
A robot shoots a human to death with a gun. It screams “Die flesh sack”

Panel 2:
Titled “How robots will actually kill us”
A MediBot is injecting something into a humans arm. The bot says “Whooops. I injected you with cancer instead of insulin. That’s on me”

Watching the new Harry Potter series is a clear signal that you'll support JK Rowling no matter how many lives she takes. It shows that holocaust denial and destroying human rights groups isn't a deal-breaker for you. It has never been easier to take the right side of history.

Wade still thinks she's cute. #PetraParker
Petra Parker has a hand up to her face while Deadpool holds out Jeff the landshark to her. Deadpool says "Congrats on the lady-hood! This one isn't Swedish but he still loves you. Welcome to a whole new world of misogyny and public ridicule." and Petra responds with "Thanks..." Deadpool is also wearing a pin on his chest that says "Proud mom" in rainbow colors.

The fact that HBO compelled even this lukewarm non-apology out of one of the modern world's proudest and more powerful bigots means that her hatred is actually affecting their bottom line.

The thing I can say is that TTRPGs are like cars: they're all different, appeal to different folks, have vastly different features, and you probably don't want to just drive one for the rest of your life. A sedan is great, but sometimes you want a sportscar. Sometimes you need a pickup truck.

A Tumblr thread between two user. 

Scorpio-System says: "AAA  Video Game Publisher Voice: 'Look. The goose layed a golden egg, and that's nice! Everyone loved that egg. But keeping the golden goose means paying for bird feed and I don't want to, so I killed the goose." 

The post is tagged with numerous replies, including. 
"That goose keeps laying golden eggs. That's stagnation. I'm going to kill it and look for a goose that lays diamond eggs."  
"That goose normally lays golden eggs, but this time it laid a silver egg. So I'm going to kill it because even though I can still make good money with that,  It's not  as good as a golden egg."
"That golden egg laying goose only lays an egg once a day instead of constantly shitting them out. I don't care that golden eggs take time. If they're not constant, the goose is worthless to me."

Ally Pankiw (I Used to Be Funny) revealed in an Instagram post that she passed on directing the HBO Harry Potter series. Kate Herron (Loki) revealed in the comments that she passed on directing episodes TWICE. It really is that fucking easy. It's really just that easy.
Text messages:

"I have an instinct on the answer but I feel compelled to ask."

"Harry Potter? Hard no?"

"Absolutely fucking not!" Lol"

"But thank you got asking."

"Of course :)"

"I assumed as much"

It is true, I mostly use social media for being social and interacting with people. I rarely, but not never, use it for promotion or to farm likes. Farming likes is what Insta was for.

JKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.

This is the new amazing character art I have for Yavva Mullonip, a Starfinder 2e barbarian. Huge thank you to @heightadvantage.bsky.social for bringing her to life. She's perfect! #TTRPG #Starfinder #Pathfinder #Halfling #CharacterArt
This is an annoyed halfling from a sci-fi future. She has short white hair, a ruddy nose, and four cyber-limbs that are over-large, but not comically so. Each is covered in stickers, duct tape, and graffiti. She wears an "Abyss Head" band tank top, bulky belt, and shorts that cover her cyber-leg attachments. She sits on an engine part, smoking a rolled joint, and looking directly at the viewer, aperhensive at what you might ask of her.
