I always assumed she named a prominent Asian character "Cho Chang" because her editors vetoed "Ching Chong."

"A bunch of us are there with you ...." Please leave. It's crowded, your hot breath on my neck is making me uncomfortable, and I'm starting to get the feeling you're doing it on purpose.

But...if rolling poorly by chance is the desired outcome, would that impact the way the "luck pool" is accumulating? Like....you'd need good luck to roll critical failures enough times to add significantly to your "bad" luck...

I take my meds so the unskippable cut scenes you accidentally trigger when talking to me are half as long and ten times as coherent.

I've read it, I just don't have it. :) It really is SO WEIRD. I appreciate how Baum let his characters be flawed - the idea that she'd just wait around on the offchance that one of them would come back, and TW being really blinkered about it.

I just read a wonderful Baum biography - Baader-Meinhof in full effect. :P I tried to read one of the non-LFB books and there was something undefinable missing. I don't have The Scarecrow of Oz, The Tin Woodsman of Oz, or The Road to Oz and I feel the lack.

This serves as advertisement for Alex Gibney’s documentary, Musk, opening October 9. Pass it on.

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)
YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

HARD SAME. My husband of almost 25 years died out of nowhere almost 9 years ago and almost overnight the earth tones went out the window and I started enthusiastically indulging in pink like a five-year-old with a $500 gift card at Claire's.

Shortly after "The Matrix" came out I saw someone interviewing Keanu Reeves, asking how he did such a good job of "pretending the mirror was climbing up [his] arm" and he answered, "I'm an actor. It's what I do for a living. It's my job." No stank on it just....factual. Because DUH.

And might i add that we had a word before "influencer." It's "shill." Shorter and more to the point. I'll use it in a sentence: "No one paid attention to the supermodel's opinions on banking because they knew she was a shill."

can we PLEASE bring back the word "poser" and stop using "larp" or "cosplay" - being a "poser" or "faking" being into something is lazy and disingenuous whereas cosplayers and actual larpers are passionate about their hobbies and out a lot of time and effort into them

The post was clearly a joke and your website regularly platforms people, including your own employees, promoting causes such as AI that do irreparable damage to the environment and society. But sure it’s VERY IMPORTANT to defend the memory of one of the most hateful, bigoted humans of the 21st century. I’m glad he’s dead and I hope this email makes someone mad.

PHOTO

We avoid the use of generic photos or video that could be mistaken for imagery photographed for the specific story at hand,  or that could unfairly link people in the images to illicit activity. No element should be digitally altered except as described below.

.....Is what the AP says is their policy. Which is wild since the story they're telling us is about the 9/11 memorial in NYC and they're showing a picture of  Trump and his partner who are decidedly not there today.
