I've always looked at the whole concept of selling out as a way to keep someone from getting proper compensation for their work.

It's fine to take personal stakes for how you want your work to be used, but the idea of shutting off them all is just to keep someone beaten down.

Because obviously both Paramount and Warner execs can be trusted...

Maybe it's just me but this feels like peek bully behavior.

Dinosaurs. I don't feel like giving up chicken.

It’s February and I just had to turn on our air conditioner. This is stupid.

About roughly 44% of the US population is younger than The Simpsons.

True facts: You cannot build LEGO's Enterprise-D set without humming the TNG theme song constantly

I've been critical of #lego for years now for lackluster sets and insanely rising costs...

... but sometimes you build something and it's such a beautiful piece of engineering you just marvel at it for awhile.

Three months ago I wasn't even aware that Light Novels were a thing, and now I'm consuming them like mad. So that's a thing...

Would make the same recommendation. Flexbox is generally the easiest way to position elements and keep them consistent across sizes and layouts.

John Goodman and Don S. Davis. Otherwise, a whole bunch of baseball players (one of note was Ryan Howard, who was in school at the same time I was - didn't realize who he was but he played on my PS2 a few times because I was hanging out with his roommate)

That feeling when you're listening to a radio station playing a lot of songs you remember and like... and you realize that it's just an oldies station for Gen Xers

Instead of watching a game full of predatory gambling ads and AI slop, we are instead watching Reincarnated as a Vending Machine as a family

Epstein Files Reveal How Pathetic Richard Dawkins & Other Men Are YouTube video by Rebecca Watson (Skepchick)

I wanna be Rebecca Watson when I grow up. She just blew up the whole atheist/skeptic movement from the last 15 years.

I have a signed copy of The God Delusion. Anyone want to buy it?

To think that Green Day’s American Idiot is somehow more relevant now than it was a couple decades back.

Honestly, the amount of slop we get fed would be exactly the same.

If AI is going to replace jobs, we should start with CEOs and work our way down.

The NRA is an org that has never been interested in rights. They only protect corporate/powerful interests. Even gun owners should hate them. Just like not standing up for Philando Castile being murdered, they're not going to stand behind a law-abiding gun owner Alex Pretti being murdered by ICE.

I was one of those who jumped right on after the initial Ars article, episode 3. And while I haven't kept up as much in recent years, so many of my friends now online are because of this podcast.

I find the best way to get that is to try and start doing something where under no circumstances do you want a cat there.

Mine always shows up within seconds of starting something like that.

Somehow my #warhammer 2026 ended up being the "Year of the Dwarf"

I've got Votann for 40k, Squats for Necromunda, and Khadron and Hashut for AoS to all work on.
