Time of Battle was clearly (in retrospect) a 4e test case/trial balloon. Incarnum? Uh, that never went anywhere. Weapons of Legacy had an idea, but that idea got explicitly rejected by later versions

late 3rd edition D&D was a fascinating time full of products that nobody asked for and nobody knew what to do with, like Magic of Incarnum, Weapons of Legacy, Tome of Magic, Tome of Battle, etc.

Yeah. You're left wondering how much of its actions are based in intellect and sentiment and how much are just a predator acting on instinct.

"The Man Trap" is one of my favorite Star Trek episodes. I love the Salt Vampire as an antagonist. I'm left with so many questions about what it really thinks and feels.

Like, is Biden's age damaging? Sure seems to be! Is it as damaging as pausing active campaigning for a couple weeks a few months from election day so we can re-tool and launch a new candidate who may not be legally entitled to use the resources he's gathered? Who's to say, not me.

Call me nuts, but I legitimately think that My Adventures with Superman moved from the Cartoon Network brand to Adult Swim brand because of LGBT+ elements. Last week's episode actually contained a romantic kiss between two ladies. CN has been trying to shy away from those elements globally too.

They are breaking down. I just saw somebody call Trump “gay” because of this post. I’m not sure his campaign can recover from this. The GOP should consider running a replacement.

also Trump's supporters have no idea what he's saying half the time! no one does! there's no need to overthink this. Trump is popular because he channels vibes-based grievances and wants to punish those groups who his supporters feel have wronged them. That's it.

The inclusion of Monk in D&D/Pathfinder is kind of fascinating because even Paladins have a sort of vague precedent in fantasy fiction but their whole thing is "have you ever seen Kung Fu with David Carradine?"

I love when people acknowledge that Dems have a turnout problem, but then insist that the leadership shouldn't take a stronger stance on critical issues. Do they really think that it's the centrist voters that are staying home because Hillary and Joe are just too radical for them?

i’ll tell you what, man, if biden manages to survive and win another term, i hope he and his aides remember that it was mostly the ancient centrists — not the progressives and not the younger dems — who came behind up him with the knives, and that he responds in kind.

Yeah, this. I get why it's a problem as a matter of principle, but as a practical matter what difference does Biden's mental acuity *actually* make? He's not surrounded by toadies and third-rate blaxploitation villains eager to turn his ravings into actual policy. Just get him past the finish line.

Again it’s wild that the people the most sanguine about this are the people who yelled themselves hoarse that he was too old years ago and are now just resigned to the bed we’ve been forced to lie in by the people who made it and are now freaking out.

The Heritage Foundation “don’t make us kill you, Democrats” statement may mark one of those moments people will read about in 100 years (hopefully!) and think to themselves “why didn’t they freak out when they heard the extremists say that?” (Sadly, it’s just not how humans work most of the time)

the most milquetoast response to state violence in america was "defund" & they screeched like a failing jet engine when confronted with the concept. they were all on the side of fascistic violence when they thought it was contained to marginalized communities.

they were fine with state sanctioned violence against marginalized communities until they realized that *they* might not be as protected from it as the initially believed.
