this post never fails to crack me up

Dave "DAT" Trampier illustration of wererats from the original Monster Manual showing two rats with human arms and legs holding swords - one wererat is seated with their arm extended and the other is kind of crouched against their body. Text reads: Wererat: Sometimes known as ratmen, these sly and evil creatures inhabit subterranean tunnel complexes beneath cities. Wererats are able to take three forms human, human-sized ratman, and giant rat. They are typically sword-armed. They use their human form to dupe humans, luring them to a place where they can be captured to be held for ransom or possibly eaten. Wererats prefer to move about in a rat-like shape, smaller than a man but much larger than a normal rat. They are capable of summoning and controlling giant rats, each wererat doing so with 2-12 of the creatures.

GARY GYGAX: hey you get that drawing of wererats done for the monster manual?

DAVE TRAMPIER: sure did Gary - real sexually available and enticing just like you asked

GARY GYGAX: ... alright. okay. thats fine

it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

When we go on vacation my daughter leaves a worn sleep shirt out on the couch for the cats and they snuggle with it constantly. I think your instincts on this are spot on.

Post from r/crochet that says "mods are gone. All hail Mr. Nipples" and its a picture of the most disgusting crocheted doll/creature thats pink and has a creepy smile and horns and big pink nipples. It's truly horrifying

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

When asked to do a divination to determine the number of experience points needed to get to the next level our priest would add 20% so they'd work harder.

DQ12 release date.

French Response * @FrenchResponse X.com Investigating child sexual abuse material isn't controversial. Turning it into political theater is manipulation. Maybe that logic flies on some island. Doesn't fl in France. Elon Musk & X @elonmusk • 3h This is a political attack

My apologies to France, I was not familiar with your game.

How on earth....

There’s no edit button because if there was I would tweet compliments to bad politicians and when they reposted I’d change it to say “[politician] eats doo-doo flavored cereal for breakfast” hope this explains

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

I love MN

a red lego piece that is the platonic ideal of a crab. the lego nubbin is in the center of its back. Its claws are outstretched.

I need you to know that you can buy individual crabs from LEGO and they are 21¢ each

A set of four cake pops that read HAPPY VALENTINES DAY; The first has H, VA, and D; The second has A LEN A; the third has PP TIN Y; the last has Y ES <3. A cartoon below shows a very sad hamster holding up the one that reads PP TINY

I have been laughing at this for a solid five minutes.

Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

happy to announce the writer of Hotel Dusk has a new adventure game about an EVIL AUCTION for the treasures of DICTATOR X (Hitler)

The Cliffhanger game on Price Is Right. A contestant had her hands on her head in excited stress as she watches the little mountain climber rise up the numbered ramp toward the edge based on how far off she was on a product's price. If there was audio, you'd be hearing yodeling right now.

The Doomsday Clock is too grim. We should change it to this.

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Abolish ICE is not enough.

Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.

We need prosecutions and trials.

Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

The secret world (MMO) has investigations that are puzzles/hidden object quests that requires use of real world knowledge, or use of the in game web browser, and divining clues from flavor text and art in game. The first one you run across is a DaVinci code inspired clue hunt across the 1st map.

Yes, they will "just" bring in someone else. Yup.

And they will spend time doing it. And they will spend resources. And confusion will be layered atop chaos & authority will be undermined & wicked people will fight amongst themselves. And they will be weaker.

And we'll keep pushing. And we'll win.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

colossal stone head @colossal-head.bsky.social the alt text field is where you imagine what guybrush threepwood might say if he examined your image September 5, 2024 at 5:56 PM

the entire difference between kyle rittenhouse and alex pretti is that kyle rittenhouse was there to shoot people the cops wanted to shoot and alex pretti was there to protect people the cops wanted to shoot

Pixel art of various animal themed robot bosses. The tag at the top says MegaGear X

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.

Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.
