I've seen the Utena movie. This subject is already, ahem, played out.

I'm sure it was!

Never mind.

Juicy Whip and Orange Bang are not alone anymore.

Well yes. But venue matters, counselor.

(Worldcon is LA this year.)

We still need to get drunk at either a Barfleet or RMN party.

A horses-ass Ph.D then?

This is how it's supposed to be.

Lawyers who think they're professionally obligated to be assholes to each other are the bane of the profession, and you find them everywhere from sole practitioners in strip malls to the biggest of BigLaw in Manhattan.

OMG

Man, you really have mastered the art of tying the ropes people throw you around your neck.

Selfeets?

You got that backwards.

‘Final Fantasy VII Remake’ Director Teases the Trilogy’s Finale “I’m hoping it’s not going to be too far in the future,” Naoki Hamaguchi tells us

As Square Enix gears up to officially reveal Part 3 of the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy, I probed director Naoki Hamaguchi for some teases of what's coming.

The carpet of the Marriott Marquis Atlanta.

There's also the Marchioness, @miribaker.bsky.social.

That's not _a_ carpet pattern. That's _the_ carpet pattern. It has its own cult.
