However, that does save the effort of them being airbrushed out of the photographs later when they fall out of favor...

Genuinely surprising. I had assumed filling the VIP bleachers would be a given with the craven suckup GOP. I imagine Stalin would have sent no-shows to a gulag.

So Elon Musk is launching a robocab after investing in brain chips and also has a goal of going to Mars. Are we sure that he didn't suffer some sort of trauma OCD in 1990 and imprinted at a showing of "Total Recall"?

I suspect the right's focus on bringing back manufacturing jobs to the U.S. comes from the same impulse as the RTO (Return To Office) company initiatives...

Bring back one cancelled TV show.

This. This, right here. This is the comic that broke my brain, and made me realize how much world building was possible with the medium. I vividly recall randomly picking up THB by Paul Pope, and being blown away.

I find the story of Oliver Cromwell gives me hope in these trying times. Specifically the part where despite dying in office, he was exhumed by Parliament, hanged, decapitated, and his head impaled on a pike. Remember, it's never too late...

"The Expanse" by Mikhail Vinogradov (1963)

On Friday I visited the Grolier Club in Manhattan to view the exhibit of Imaginary Books. It was extremely cool, and worth checking out if you are in the area. (It's free and will be up until February 15th) #thekinginyellow #booksky

My feed recently is a bit more like: "Well, we can do you doom and humor without the news, and we can do you doom and news without the humor, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you humor and news without the doom. Doom is compulsory."

Very excited to have just read on @juliansimpson.bsky.social 's sub stack developmenthell.substack.com that there is a KS in the future for more Lovecraft Investigations.

I have been going down the twin rabbit holes of the idea of Commonplace Books, and ways to customize the Obsidian app. The criticism of John Locke's method quoted at the end of this article points to people already seeing the need for tags in the 17th century. fs.blog/john-locke-c...

Spending a snowy morning drinking coffee and reading a pretty fascinating history of the notebook. (Thanks to @jenkatwrites.bsky.social's recommendation.) Also there are donuts.

Oh Hai @manlymikecurtis.bsky.social Good to see you. Still busy as ever?

I have a new side gig: Squirrel DJ. We have at least one flying squirrel living in our attic, which would be fine (very cute) but he/she has a tendency to go exploring in the crawlspaces and then gets lost in the walls, keeping L up all night.

Leaving a bag of monopoly money near your murder scene and watching the cops fail to find it for three whole days while following an unrelated bike is what being a D&D DM is like

Had the honor of helping with the OP for Creature Commandos! Used a lot of reference from things like Jin-Roh. The flashing is on 1's so it definitely took quite a bit ๐Ÿ˜‚ check out Creature Commandos on Max! #animator #animation #anime #cartoon #art #artist #dccomics #creaturecommandos

A couple of months ago I reached out to @sskorkowsky.bsky.social for a suggestion of a good Traveller adventure to use in an Alien game. He was very helpful and gave me some good suggestions to check out.

Is YOUR child texting about P.G. Wodehouse? Get to know the signs: BRB = Bertieโ€™s Rum Bother LMAO = Lest Maiden Aunts Occur JFC = Jeeves Favours Caution BTW = Bold Tie Warnings WTAF = Well Then, Augustus Fink-Nottle STFU = Sir, That Fedoraโ€™s...Unfortunate

This is needs to be revived on the scale of your typical Vegas casino. grolierclub.wordpress.com/2020/07/21/t...
