Me: Okay, what's the most basic level, I don't want to break the bank. Campaign: "Fans can also pledge to a tier that sees their likenesses drawn as a character in the book" Me: Do I really need _both_ kidneys?

I mean, if you really want that cozy fantasy dragon mystery, you've clearly imagined it pretty clearly.... Just write it down!

As always, Upton Sinclair had it right: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

Your crackpot headcanons are absolutely correct and any in-game evidence against them was actually put there by the devs specifically to throw you off the track, I guarantee it.

Every four years it's "oh, no, the Olympics are boring, no one cares", but then you try a little change to spice things up and they go crazy.

I tried to consult my priors, and they shushed me for trying to talk during matins, so I left again.

Look, I didn't like De Blasio especially, but he showed what happens when the mayor is explicitly set against NYPD. Do I like it? Of course not. Do I dream about the state guard marching in to disarm NYPD and host truth and reconciliation panels? God yes. Is there a realistic option? Welcome to NYC.

I just read this bit last night, cracked up, and tried to explain to my wife, to her steadily increasing confusion.

But, and I'm just spitballing here, someone made that hat and sold it to her, and doesn't that milliner deserve her five minutes of screen time?

I mean, there is already a character in Paladin's Grace with a canonically amazingly fancy hat with an entire bird on top...

I remain absolutely amazed that Rs in Congress decided "Sure, it's eroding my power, but let's let an idiot do Imperial Presidency".

To be very clear, in this case hitting "Like" means "I hate this for you but it is very relatable".

My absolute favorite(*) driving story was when I lived in Houston, 27 years ago, I saw a TV news report about bad drivers. They interviewed a little old lady who said she never used her turn signals "because ain't nobody got no right to know where I'm goin'!" (*) Least favorite.

This morning I decided to go to the second-best bagel shop for breakfast, and as I wait here for over 15 minutes without a bagel in my hand I am remembering one reason why they are the second best.

"A boycott makes demands. This made none, set no conditions, named no grievance, and offered the Recording Academy no way to win them back. You negotiate with an institution whose judgment you still need. The one whose judgment you have outgrown, you simply inform." Damn. 🫳 | | 🎤

What Grammys lost when BTS walked away | Aju Press
For five years, BTS wanted a Grammy, and the wanting was never hidden. The group submitted its music every cycle. Its members flew to Las Vegas and delivered performances that outclassed the ceremony ...
