iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

If you want to see normally dispassionate historians and moderators descend into a thread and call out Rhodesia apologists as white supremacist bastards, this is a good read. A lot of historical facts, sources and vitriol. www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...

Every indistinguishably-bland but necessary product has its own CBS sitcom line up of ad gimmicks running and Liberty Mutual is perpetually flailing in pilot season.

Seems like the love child of Krang and Slimer. Someone must have manifested some deeply degenerate fanfic / deviant art into existence.

It's a shame you didn't stick around for lunch. I ate the meat and veggie bar plate multiple times a week back in grad school. When I took my kids there 20 years later, it was like I never left. Well, except that the Korean lady and her husband weren't behind the counter.

I'd bet none of the transphobes are from Brooklyn. Clearly none are from Connecticut.

This feels strangely reminiscent of that Megan Amram bit. I feel like the day she revisits it will be one of great joy.

The first trailer for Rogue One was really promising, and had more of the Andor tone. I bet Disney freaked out that it would have narrow adult appeal and had it sanded down into a bland pile topped with Vader fan service.

Maybe they need to poach some of the mods from AskHistorians.

Green Onions was originally the B-side, but got reissued pretty quick because it rules.

IX looked like it was made by a room of feckless execs trying to appease toxic fanboys with the maturity level of the worst boys eighth grade had to offer. Lucas at his worst couldn't possibly top that.

Assuming this is referring to hockey, but it could also be for college baseball

Those are 2 great parts, but is there something particular about the combination that makes the sum greater?

He didn't even hit the turbo button until he got to second and realized third was in play. It was really fun to watch.

I feel like these sorts of videos should always end with a shot of the pitcher reacting with relief and gratitude.

Beast Wars seemed like a thing cynically made to cash in on what was left of Transformers, but miraculously run by writers who genuinely loved the property. It was so long, ago that it felt novel and like a small miracle.

I'm most of the way through this book and have been enjoying it. It's cool to take something I consume all the time and peel back the layers to show how much care and craft can go into it.

There're a handful of advocate cards and they're all funny for multi-player because you can meddle even if you're not directly involved. Great for table politics. I think Shieldmage Advocate is the most flexible.

Ignominious comes to mind, but I don't think I've ever seen it used outside of some really old Death of Arthur translation.

I think about this issue often. The version of Batman in it is beautifully written. Beyond just the burrito part, I like how disappointed he is when Catman fails to realize that he cares even about the villains.

Shh, it's Bandcamp Friday and I don't have all your EPs yet.

I just picked up the EP Devil in the Shortwave. In Commandante, the singer boasts of a storage locker full of cow figurines, so there's that. It's one of my son's new favorite songs.

Back in 2024, there was this great year-long read along series on 99 Percent Invisible with @elliottkalan.bsky.social. It helped to break out the reading into digestible chunks and was really funny to boot.

Every time I see Rhodesia, I revisit this AskHistorians post where respondents and moderators go into some detail about what went on there and the deliver a full-throated fuck off to anyone who would try to deny or downplay it. www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...

This is the George who piloted Hofri Ghostforge on that commander episode years ago? I haven't watched much, but remember him as being the key part of one of the funniest games I've seen.

I was guessing that you came up with a great last line and developed the opinion working backwards from that.

That first trailer was incredible, but it hurt the movie for me. It wrote a check that couldn't be cashed until Andor came out.

Hearing it alone in a car, it sounded silly. Hearing the hook sung by a club full of Chapel Hill women, it felt like a work of genius.

Is this a Hades 2 reference in an MtG post? I feel seen.

@themountaingoats.bsky.social I'm not sure how this relates to International Small Arms Traffic Blues, but it's the first thing that came to mind.

Something from Beat the Champ. Either Werewolf Gimmick or Choked Out.

A whole season centered around Dewey Crowe's kin should've been a joy, but he was an absolute turd there.

I'm trying to figure out how many years it'll be before ICE agents are the faceless fodder unit you mow down in a mainstream FPS. It helps that they're already wearing masks and military gear.

The good Chinese restaurants are often crowded and a bit rundown from the heavy traffic. Loud, poor ambience and you may be sharing a 12 top with a few other groups.

Getting back to the main thread, these old games prepared us for Silksong. My son was in awe of how I could endure an hour of getting slaughtered by Last Judge with no sign of frustration.

Am I reading it wrong or was that Skenes game the Toronto game on 8/18? Last night he pitched 5 scoreless innings against Baltimore and left with a 1 run lead that didn't hold.
