Maybe I'm just paranoid, but if one person that I didn't know that well called me little and told me to be careful? I'd never go back there...

Looks like my dogs survived the jerky incident with little more than some bad indigestion.

So that's nice.

As someone who's done it too... age...

I can't recommend getting older, but it's better than the alternative...

Yay. One of my dogs got into a bag of jerky this morning, so I'll have to monitor them to make sure they're okay...

As long as we go roughly 48 hours of no noticeable vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy (good luck they're both hounds) we should be fine.

Based on everything I'm seeing/reading/etc.

Just watched Superman.

I very much enjoyed the movie. I think it was a great first step. I can easily see myself watching it again.

That has been said before โ€“ by Tolkien himself, for one โ€“ but it needs
repeating. It needs lots of repeating, because there is still, in this country, a
deep puritanical distrust of fantasy, which comes out often among people truly
and seriously concerned about the ethical education of children. Fantasy, to
them, is escapism. They see no difference between the Batmen and
Supermen of the commercial dope-factories and the timeless archetypes of the
collective unconscious. They confuse fantasy, which in the psychological
sense is a universal and essential faculty of the human mind, with infantilism
and pathological regression. They seem to think that shadows are something
that we can simply do away with, if we can only turn on enough electric lights.
And so they see the irrationality and cruelty and strange amoralities of fairy
tale, and they say: "But this is very bad for children, we must teach children
right from wrong, with realistic books, books that are true to life!"

Read this Ursula K LeGuin essay โ€œThe Child and the Shadow,โ€ and it hits so hard right now

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help.

this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls.

I feel like for a while, I tried to make it my thing to enjoy poorly rated movies. But I've forgotten most of them over time...

One that does stick with me though, is Kingdom of Heaven.

They woke up a bit today, I think it's cause I found a Space Wolf die in the "Baron of Dice" grab bag of single dice. So I didn't end up in last place.

So, I ended my first 2-Day Tourney/GT with a 1-4 record.

My Angels of Death Kill Team and I appear to be going through a messy and public breakup at the tournament this weekend.

It's because they know my heart belongs to the Tyranids and we just got the Raveners Kill Team...

I'm currently in last place with 2 more matches tomorrow but...

This series really took one hell of a left turn. Sad Sandra Bullock did not come back for the sequels.

A lightning strike took out internet and cellphone service for about 12 hours yesterday. So I spent the time reading a whole book.

Very much enjoyed Legends & Lattes. Would recommend.

Itโ€™s official. Studio Execs are now using Chat GPT to evaluate screenplays. Hereโ€™s proof from a friendโ€™s pass letter:

Not only is it vague and unhelpful, it references one specific โ€” an antique camera.

The problem?

THEREโ€™S NO ANTIQUE CAMERA IN THE FUCKING SCRIPT.
