I was introducing my fifteen year old to some of the chaotic 90s animation i grew up with, and I've just a realization... If and when @criticalrole.bsky.social brings in Sprinkle in the animated Mighty Nein, I hope they put feelers out to try to get Michael Dorn to voice him. IYKYK.

Surely La Conquistadora would be Ysabel, no? Or would she be La Reconquistadora?

disadvantage due to it cutting off peripheral vision and funneling your hearing, and you're more easily flankable. Has somebody already done this?

Restorations overnight. Perhaps as a bit of humour in a Gritty Realism campaign, it speeds healing when you short-rest--you get max HP per hit die every time, or you get all your hit dice back when you wear it all day. If you're wearing it out adventuring, though, perception checks are at...

Went walking a neighbour's dog today while they were out all day, and the poor thing wears a cone while she recovers from an injury. And now I'm thinking I need a joke item in D&D, the Ruff of Recuperation. Maybe it recovers Exhaustion faster when you wear it all day, or you get one of the...

All these islands are yours, except whatever's going on on Williston Lake. Attempt no landing there. youtu.be/5OAmaS-GiTA?... No, seriously, there's no universe in which you can go there safely. But it does feel at least a little sci-fi/horror-ish.

It's so good. My partner's said many times, the trailer didn't do it justice, but when she read a *glowing* NYT review of it, she knew we had to see it as a family. Just, pitch perfect, no notes.

Possibly daft D&D character idea: a hexblade Warlock who regrets their pact and is trying to break it, because every time they use their pact powers, they get 1% closer to becoming fully subsumed by their sword for the same number of minutes.

There are some amazing choices in the thread, but let's see... Lance Reddick, Andre Braugher, Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, Neil Peart, Richard Dreyfuss (just saw Stand By Me recently)... Fred Rogers? Ernie Coombs? Ian McKellen... Bruce Boxleitner would be interesting. Matt Lillard?

Painful for anyone! But they don't know why, or what they can do about it. I once took my then-toddler son on a transcontinental flight, and he slept through most of the descent. Woke up with about 20K feet of descent pushing on his eardrums and the FOULEST look. "Drink water, it helps." All better!

Talk about burying the lede... "In the course of all this, Young also found that the person whose likeness the sculpture depicts might not have been Drusus Germanicus at all. Instead, it more closely resembles a different Roman general named Pompey." Perhaps Pompey Magnus..?

Wilt has 5 of the 6 most consistent, high per-game output seasons in NBA history. MJ is the other. And beyond that, it's not even close.

I feel like stirring the pot a bit. Who's going to win their respective championship first? England in the men's World Cup, or Toronto for the Stanley Cup?

Okay, fair enough. I grew up in an RC church where one of our choir members was my Mormon piano teacher, so I'm just sitting here going, "but... but the name of their church..!" There's part of me that wants to know what to look up to learn more, but my TBR list is so long already...

The next thing he says is that his personal policy with the thumbs is that they have to be fundamentally true, and he refuses to use the AI thumbnails that create scenarios hat never happen in the video itself. Thumbs are how you get views. Of course they matter a lot!

I hired a car for a week in Ireland and they gave me a bunch of gelly bracelets that have the message. Along with the stickers in every corner of the windscreen. I still have the bracelets, they're a fun memento. Immediately taking the motorway for three hours helped with acclimation! Just follow!

I was looking up different angles for "best NBA player the other day," and learned that if you're measuring by points per game in a single season, Wilt is 4 of the 5 best single-season players in history. And it's not even close. At his prime, almost 9ppg ahead of any modern player. I was shook.

Who was @joelplaskett.bsky.social's strongest musical influence circa Ashtray Rock and Three and why was it Tom Petty? I'm not complaining! I love both! I was just listening to Full Moon Fever, and half expected Through & Through & Through to come up next.

Adjacent to that, I always get a kick from the passerby telling Uhura and Chekhov where the Alameda naval base is ("in Alameda") was just that, because they were using a hidden camera, and the crew had to chase her down to pay her, give her a SAG card, and credit her.

There is a unique dialect of the Irish language that evolved in Newfoundland and became forever linked with the island. It is called Newfoundland Irish and many work to keep the language alive. This is the story. 🧵 1/7

A small red house with white trim stands in the foreground on the right, while additional red sheds and houses sit farther back along the shoreline. Wooden fences run through the grass, and a couple of small white boats rest upside down on the ground. In the distance, more houses line the opposite side of the inlet under a clear sky with warm evening light.

I apologize for putting an ad in your Bluesky, but my Scout Group is starting fundraising for the year, and I'd love to help folks get their gardens started! Just visit the shop (makeitsow.com/seeds/shop/#...) and enter the code KINGSTON_2026 to help Kingston Centre Scouts with our fundraising!
