You can only call yourself a Jedi if you were trained by a member of the Jedi Order. Otherwise you're just a sparkling Force user.

Now we come to the nexus of causality. Which way will the pendulum of fate swing? Toward hilarity, or despair and madness?

"Greetings, fellow gamers! My name is Hodd Toward, and I think this game Starfield has the most innovative and original gameplay of any game to come out this year! Plus I hear the director of the studio is really handsome, haha."

I mean, it was A Thousand Sons that made me dislike the wolves, because I loved Magnus and his legion so much.

Well... that and also Brynngar in Battle for the Abyss. But, again, it was because he was being recalcitrant about Mhotep and how he deserved to die for sorcery.

So my Union rep is getting ready for maternity leave, and today she introduced us stewards to her temporary replacement. An attractive young woman my age with a septum piercing and a firm handshake. One with whom I had instant, obvious chemistry.

I might be in trouble, y'all.

Nemesis was so miserable for me that I gave up on it after the last character I actually liked got brutally murdered. Luckily, the First Heretic was a fun read, despite Lorgar's efforts.

But now I'm staring down the barrel of the Burning of Prospero, and... I don't like Space Wolves. #blacklibrary

Half of my nerdy rants end with "... sorry. I like words."

Cause I care a lot about words and etymology, but quickly realize that almost no one else does when I'm in the middle of talking about them.

Josiah Trelawney is one of my favorite characters in Red Dead Redemption 2. He's such a complicated and yet delightful character. I don't even care that he's foppish, he has a good heart

His special origin story was "had parents who loved him"

An infographic titled "Evolution of the Alphabet" showing the progression of written characters from Proto-Sinaitic script around 1750 BCE through Phoenician, Archaic Greek, Archaic Latin, Roman, to the Modern Latin Script. Colored lines connect each ancient character to its modern equivalent, illustrating the transformation of each letter over time.

This is a beautiful graphic of an amazing process and every time I see it all I can think about is how it looks like Q got gradually squeezed out of the goth letter clique
