a square album art illustration, with the title in purple "DnD versus" orange subtitle underneath "Party of One" it is overlayed ontop of a skull with glowing blue eyes, stylised fire eminates from beneath the skull moving the the right and left lower part of the image, rising up into smoke, turning into another stylised phoenix with frames the title with its wings, the wings turn from yellow, to orange, to purple/pink. Some feathers overlay the title and some of the lower flame. The artist's signature "Rachelgeorge Illustration" is visible in the lower right corner in white.

An illustrated book cover in a mock vintage 70's pulp action movie poster style. Two women, one black woman dressed in 1900's style pilot outfit, with a leather cap and goggles, leather flight jacket and holding a revolver style pistol, she looks determined as she grips the hand of another woman running behind her. The woman behind is white with brown hair pulled into a messy bun, half circle glasses and dressed in a vintage 1900's school mistress style outfit, with blowse and purple ankle length skirt with brown heeled leather shoes. She clutches a brown leather bag in her other hand.
Behind them a mysterious green stone mask looms over them, the eye cutouts shine red beams above them and the left eye twinkles with a bright red glint

a stylized illustration of a purple skinned character with short messy purple hair, stood amongst black and grey finger like branches of trees wrapping around her, framing her face. The bark shines with the colours of Opal stones, gold, green, blue and white. The character is looking at a magic orb they control in their hands, leaves and mushrooms sprout from the dead branches around the magic trail which whisps up, around a tree branch and to the right of the image

War of the Worlds
β˜†β˜†β˜†

It's remarkable how poorly they used the conceit of the film, that all the footage we see could be seen on Ice Cube's computer screen. Like, this is just a variation on a found footage movie, but it didn't use those restrictions in service of the story effectively, withholding information to build tension. Instead, this felt like a long cut scene from a War of the Worlds videogame. Things at least started getting silly in the last half hour.

It's ok to call it a manned mission instead of a crewed mission as long as it's going to Jupiter to get more stupider

Stop Betting on Dildos Being Thrown at WNBA Games, You Fucking Creeps Several dildos were thrown, a couple of arrests were made, and by Wednesday afternoon, one distasteful sports betting site claimed that betting on dildos had surpassed betting on who’d win the game.

Welcome to the heavyweight bout, @ZohranKMamdani 

This is a two man race. You look tired already. It’s just the second round.

I have received many text messages.

Yes, this is how corny and stupid my former boss is in real life.

The only thing that’s new is the undisciplined nature of messaging which wreaks of crushing despair.

It would be sad if he had even a basic level of human decency.
