I dabble in writing. I am also a loving single father of one chaotic young boy doing his best to get by. Him/he/his

God, that ending from the book was genuinely genius compared to the movie.

Good ol MARVEL BR:CK. If the price beats out the usual compendiums, this could be good. But the print choices are bonkers.

Whilst Gundam X hasn't seen a Real Grade announced (so far) for its 30th, the HG GX-Bit is an excellent addition to fill out the roster.

That would be amazing. I would also love to see them whip around a prop RPG for the few of us who played Jump Force.

I mean, maybe they’re hoping we’ll make them the aristos due to the resemblance to the Hapsburgs.

Batman relates that he saw his parents die here.

Robin of Teen Titans Go knows. Because he pushed them into the path of the bullets.

This is actually canon.

I hold this is accurate. I’ve only been once, but we got completely rained out and had to scrounge ponchos on site.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

Somewhere between 1 and 3. It’s definitely a fun romp and has some truly great moments. But it’s also not on the same tier as some truly great 90s movies.

You can even get your own dvd ripper and make your own digital archive! You know. If you could afford storage space in this economy.

It is true that most people outside the english-speaking world don't know about JK Rowling's transphobia and we shouldn't assume that when they draw HP fanart it means they're agreeing with her views. But we shouldn't assume that they're incapable of understanding the situation either.

I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom? You were never a parent at all You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging.

He should have have given out Kaioken. Maybe the Spirit Bomb would have been a step too far, but Tienshinhan would have wrenched shop with the Kaioken.

I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.

Family Guy meme where a strung out Lois looks at a bottle of pills, but Lois has been replaced by a haggard and tired-looking Riker. Riker is labeled "Me, having just binge-watched a Trek series." The pill bottle is labeled "More Star Trek"

And then you get things that give it a ton of its own character, like when they colored a beehive hairdo as a beanie cap.

Also, I really fell off the books when one of the books decided that the parent of one of the Spartans was the evil villain because… they knew the truth about their kid being flash-cloned. I had just become a dad. Kind of a turn-off.

(Also the last game will have some of the best writing for Master Chief as a human, but few will play it after the last two games fumbled so badly and we made the multiplayer separate and free)

They did a game about Chief being a little more human and then killed Cortana. Naah, forget about that, maybe Chief is evil. Only he’s not. And Cortana ain’t dead, but she’s starting an AI revolution. Naah, forget about that. She’s dead now. Offscreen. Here’s Cortana 2!

Perfect reaction. Also, it screams that they just don’t know where to go from the 3 ignored plots and 4 game remakes that 343 left them.

Picture of Miles O'Brien, played by Colm Meaney in Star Trek The Next Generation/Star Trek Deep Space 9, standing with his hands on his hips and smiling. There is text over the image in 4 parts. Part 1: "Stay alive. Stay fucking alive" Part 2: "It's shit now but it won't always be" Part 3: "Happiness comes in waves" Part 4: "You will find it and feel it again"

And yeah, I do love the Gold Key comics. They’re garbage, but the term comes from affection rather than distaste. I even wrote about it back when I worked with You Don’t Read Comics. www.youdontreadcomics.com/articles/202...
