Dweller In Darkness

And, like, I don't dispute that getting hit by a surprise snowball of unusual density can be uncomfortable and surprising, but ... my dudes, it's still a SNOWBALL. No one throws those when they'd rather throw a rock.

*nods* It's the responsibility of the capable professional to make sure that every single instantiation of a lie has an asterisk put next to it, at the very least, and she does a good job here.

Morbius 2: 2 Morbin 2 Furious
Rocket Racer: The Quickening
Madame Web 2: Into the Webverse
Gwen Stacy And The Mary Janes
Venom 4: The King In Black (stars a CGI Johnny Cash as Knull)

We, too, are a people group, and we're quite aware of that.

Yep. She's going to be queerly joyful and you're going to KNOW it.

Will Trent too. Kind of why I'm a bit burnt out on them.

BTW, just listened to your episode on Rifts and, man, what a system. Played a group of 14 players and 2 co-DMs. It was complicated, but fun.

In a way, but I gleefully ignored most of it. Loved rolling d20s, though, so that stayed. I had no concept of statistical distribution, but d20 felt wilder.

Was trying to remember a Will Forte quote from Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie and accidentally figured out how to make Google’s AI tool shut up

... I smell toast.

Pretty well every age of tremendous growth in the U.S. was accompanied by abundant, easy immigration. Treat it as a labor issue.

Indeed. As you said, it's clearly not a lack of desire or will, but exactly HOW he'll keep 50 states and literally thousands of polling stations from doing what the state says that they ought to.

@thecomicscanon.bsky.social Question for the pod: what's one non-"comic" piece of fiction you'd recommend from the last year?

He was a fantastic songwriter. So annoyed I didn't find him until I was in my 30.

Apparently so.

YES. It's a phenomenal performance. The movie around it is good, too, but without Duvall it would just fall over.

this is exactly why I am absolutely not willing to overlook anyone who was once “advocating for ending USAID” as merely committing a little oopsie-daisy-booboo, by the way

I had ONE friend who had a negative interaction with him, and even then he said it was pretty obvious he was having an off day, and it mostly Amend seeming a bit lifeless and bored.

*bombs a fishing boat*
Look, it's what my character would do.

There's also something to be said for just saying the TRUTH. Not saying what you know is true just plain hurts, and it diminishes you. This also dovetails into what you're saying, though, because that cousin can see the authenticity.

Same artist, but my favourite is: And your face looked like something Death brought with him in his suitcase.

I debated putting it up as a second post because, yeah, that's an image that sticks with you, and I didn't want to do that.

A guy came to our church in a Cybertruck. I was getting in my car after service and cast an eye at him. He grinned and said, "Want me to give you a tour?" I responded, "Absolutely not," and drove off. His forlorn expression warms my heart.

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

Finding out that Caviezel is a conservative asshat hurt more than finding out that my in-laws are conservative asshats, but it's a phenomenal show with a (mostly) phenomenal cast.

Master And Commando.

The actual name of the painting is "Freedom Of Speech," from a series of paintings called "Four Freedoms." It's a very good painting, although my favourite remains "Murder In Mississippi."

It's notable, though, that this didn't actually hurt him or, rather, it only hurt him emotionally.

Some days I love a good bandwagon.
