That could be a good sign though.
Hopefully, causality violation was achieved.

Sooo from growing up when Tipper Gore's advisory stickers first started showing up...

The "Department of War" = the PMRC
Trump = 2 Live Crew's Banned in the USA

From the scale on that graphic, it looks like a worm not a snake.

If we extrapolate who the Libertarians are *supposed* to be in that pic and some of the more... colorful connotations of lowly worm?

Accurate.

That brings in Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles and the fear of nunchuks.

So even fear of American/Japanese imports.

The dispensary next door is projecting the Superbowl on a 10 x 20 foot screen in their parking lot.

Along with the Braums, the liquor store, and the (judging from the PA) brisk betting - including on commercials - we got it all over here.

As a Cubs fan, I think we transferred that to the politics guys when the Cubs won the World Series. You know the movie It Follows? Like that.

I'm so sorry.

Fwiw, I do like Clarkesworld for possibly best of the current SFF magazines. Or at least best one I know about.

I do get nostalgic about OMNI and Twilight Zone magazine though.

Did somebody say Fritz Leiber?

1) still wishing for a decent Lankhmar movie (though I'd probably regret it)
2) still spooked by Rump-titty-titty-tum-tah-tee ever since Trump was first elected (though that might just be me)

Heck these days, a lot of gateway books aren't even books. Had a nephew borrow Roadside Picnic because he really liked the Stalker games - he said it was "decent".

Doesn't always work though. Bosconian (video game) + Lensman (anime) is why I ever read E.E. Doc Smith. Which was a slog.

If they don't talk about what they like, just keep your shelves available.
And anthologies help.

In general, I like meeting my nieces, nephews, etc. halfway.

Kid likes Stalker games? I gots the Roadside Picnic.
Way into modern RPGs or Critical Role etc.? Ask about what they like (or even better, one of their campaigns) and check my shelf. Rothfuss? Leiber? Tolkien?

Hippolyta Trevor as Fury, DC comics.

Hippolyta Trevor as Fury, DC comics.

But Lyta *is* a fury right, or *the* Fury?

Guess I'm saying Gaiman might have been disrespecting *more" superheros I guess.

Trying to remember how it ended up working out - Hector Hall's wife (who was Wonder Woman's daughter) ends up "killing" Dream?
Felt goofy.

Best argument I can come up with for a happy wealthy person was Jim Henson. He had an obsessive drive, but I think the object of the drive was his work, not the money.

(if someone tries to tell me how horrid Jim Henson was because social media, I'm gonna stick my fingers in my online ears)

Will do. Only one I have on my own is removing any waterproofing (which is probably not helpful).

Convoke seems appropiate. Maybe hybrid Azorius (Selesnya?) for the pips.

I'll ask my sister-in-law tomorrow. She does a bunch of screen printing (which isn't exactly decal but maybe helps?) and think she uses stuff called plastisol with some extra additive for nylon on windbreakers and stuff like that.

Maybe a low heat transfer kind of deal? I know nothing but might ask a local T-shirt shop.

I learned from Bob Hope and Annette Funicello that "Everybody can do the ska."

That happened a whooole bunch to Obama really. Don't recall the aneurysms though, maybe because he was pretty chill about it.

On one side, they were, um... hired to help quash the Revolution.

If I remember right, her grandpa was her dad's son so she was... 75% god?
