Good morning for a Gorn mourning Morn.

She's demonstrating how Americans can combat high food prices by milking ghosts. Mild demonic possession is a small price to pay for otherwise free ghost milk.

So I kinda feel like the day I quit/shifted to vaping was a disaster for the tobacco industry and a boon to the equally slimy vaping industry (which may in fact be the same industry)?

Unfortunately when I made the mistake of smoking I was also on a medication that apparently drastically predisposes one to non-stop chain smoking (basically amplifies addictive tendancies). Shit man, I don't think I own a single thing from back then. Everything I owned was tar stained and stank.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

There's a difference between differing and even vastly differing from source materials and what feels - at times - like antipathy for not only original material but even other adaptations. And hell - as I said - sometimes that's kinda fun.

It does seem we're spoiled for choice these days, if you're into adaptations by people who feel like they hate the source material. I mean sometimes that's good, Heinlein and Card deserve some hard side eye from their adapted works. But yeah this series felt weird.

If we're talking more general fantasy... Mushishi might be too old/mature (themes of loss more so than violence or sex or anything like that - but handles them well)? Maybe Little Witch Academia?

jacobwisner.bsky.social @jacobwisner.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Hmm, the Faraway Paladin is surprisingly wholesome, but yeah very battle focused. I remember Restaurant to Another world being kind of a weird delight but it's more about people bonding over food and hyper realistic food art than the fantasy. Low bloodshed is more of a challenge than it should be.
