I’m in my 50s and I’ve just made my first Rolemaster PC. I was surprised at how easy it was, automated and online. Never played it before, but I’m excited to give it a try. #rpg #rolemaster

Damn. That first episode of #lanterns was absolutely outstanding and pulled no punches. I don’t know about the rest of you superhero fans, but I’ll be watching this one to the end. Kudos #dcu

Jokes aside, this is what I'm referring to when I say the classics MUST be updated for the modern age. Yes, even though a bunch of racists have screamed about the inclusion of diversity. A modern Clark? Would have SO MANY black friends. Like, please go look at a Kansas college football team.

My DC headcanon is that black people in the DC universe adore Superman and Nightwing. White heroes are confused by this fact and white villains cannot stand it. (It enrages Lex actually.)

This is sort of fascinating but also sort of meaningless. This is actually a map showing which countries consider suburbs to be part of their cities. Hence Britain having “2” and Australia having “5”.

Just finished a quick DS9 rewatch before my Paramount account is cancelled. I’m now convinced that the last episode for the series is actually Series Acclimation Mil from Starfleet Academy. You can test me on that point at your earliest convenience. #startrek #ds9 #starfleetacademy

At this moment in time this would be the ONLY acceptable conclusion to tonight’s WHCD
Batman, having blasted through a wall into where the power movers behind the corruption of life in Gotham City are finishing up a rich meal. 

Batman says through the dust and debris, “Ladies, gentlemen. You’ve eaten well…from this moment on, none of you are safe.”

My answer to the what RPG gaming era are you online quiz. 

I AM AN 80’s DORK
You were doing this long before it was cool. You were doing it when it was actually uncool. You probably got beaten up for it once or twice. But you’re never happier when you have a calculator in your pocket and a massive black-and-white reference manual full of complex tables to represent the effects of wind resistance and gravity on your bullets (by calibre) in your backpack.

waking up to the absolute best and absolute worst of humanity. no in betweenies today
art002e009288 (April 6, 2026) – Earthset captured through the Orion spacecraft window at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II crew’s flyby of the Moon. A muted blue Earth with bright white clouds sets behind the cratered lunar surface. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region. In the foreground, Ohm crater has terraced edges and a flat floor interrupted by central peaks. Central peaks form in complex craters when the lunar surface, liquefied on impact, splashes upwards during the crater’s formation.

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

All I can hear looking at this picture is the electric guitar wail from Space:1999 and I find that awesome.
It is a picture of the grey and crater covered surface of the moon, the curvature of it taking up 2/3rds of the picture. Nestled on the edge of the moon is the Earth, a blue and white crescent. Between the two, the deep black of space.
