The media wants *something* on him. Trump has so much negative stuff going out, they can’t pretend to have ‘balanced’ coverage of both candidates. Also, they *need* it to be a horse race for ratings.

Facebook is not profitable. I think this is a broader issue in Silicon Vally likely, because rather than focusing on improving core business strategies these companies chase investor hype and stock valuations. Tesla isn’t a car company, Facebook is Meta, etc. The center cannot hold my dudes.

I doubt this is a controversial take, but Army of Darkness is an isekai. I think we need an Army of Darkness manga and anime adaptation stat. #armyofdarkness #ashwilliams #evildead

Like cool and all, but there are no mainstream outlets reporting this that I can find. It’s all small local websites or partisan news sites. Can you help with a link to something more mainline so I can verify?

I don’t think they wanted this feature for consumers. I bet IT departments and c suite execs are allllll about it though.

Bush is directly responsible for the deaths of way, way more people than Trump. Trump is disgusting, but Bushie-poo should’ve been on trial for war crimes 20 years ago.

But they never mean what they say. Usually leadership is “who can comb their hair and stay in line the best” not anything like “who can responsibly lead others towards worthwhile goals”. It’s meaningless pap that is used to pad resumes and suck up to the right people.

It’s about accessibility. If you only have one hand you can use this feature to bring the top half of the screen closer to your thumb.

I recently started ADHD treatment, & my suicidal intrusive thoughts lightened up. They didn’t go away entirely, but overall are much reduced. I know I’ve missed a dose when they pick back up. It’s usually the first thing I think when I wake up, and often the last thing I think before I fall asleep.

Also, I read a lot of MAD Magazine as a kid, so there are some SFX in comics that I miss and I feel aren’t used enough. “Poit!”

If it’s just a villain, the way to go IMHO is to have them show up once at a lower level between levels 8-10 or so, then show up again around later. The players don’t learn the villain’s true nature till the second encounter with the villain.

Story seeds * Cult is looking for a new host * They’ve lost the mask and are looking for it * The mask has been stolen and they’re chasing the thief * This is just a villain the players run into.

Magic mask. This mask contains the spirit of a long dead magician, who possesses the mind of whoever wears the mask. There’s a cult around the mask that picks a new host when one dies. #ttrpg #ttrpgart #fantasy #badguy #art #illustration #procreate

FWIW, the following are true: 1) Superman will be in the public domain in a few years. 2) Superman began as a mashup of anti-establishment rebellion and an inverted John Carter/Moses. OG Superman would’ve happily stepped up for unions and against proud boys. Reclaiming superheroes is a worthy goal.

Exhibit A - ABC News posted this over on Threads earlier today. Why are they using a photo of Trump from years ago for a story about his current troubles? Are there not enough images of him from the last month? The last 6 months? The last year?

Headcanon: the movie Paul with Seth Rogen, Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, and Jason Bateman is set in the same world as Cabin in the Woods with Chris Hemsworth and Fran Kranz. And Sigourney Weaver plays the same character in both. #headcanon

Thinking about difficult to adapt novels about scary people and how we’re getting a Netflix series based on Patricia Highsmith’s Ripley novels and an Amazon series about Donald Westlake’s Parker novels. Wondering about shared universe with characters like that. #parker #ripley

I have to be honest, I have very mixed feelings about the degree to which tabletop gaming has become about people making a living. Like, over half of the gamers I know are actively trying to figure out how to make money on their hobby. The “hustlfication” of everything is exhausting. #ttrpg
