A Dungeons and Dragons style alignment chart of Doctrinal and Structural Purist, Neutral and Radical, dictating what counts as a Technical.

Watching the latest Codex Compliant, and @wib.bsky.social I think this answers one of your questions-

Well? Would you?

A couple of years ago I realised that I'm now older than my mum was when she died. That's a real fucking weird one to try and process.

Never turn this woman heel.

They'd have had to form an alliance with the numberblocks to form Uranium 235, otherwise they'd have to do an episode spealling out "Uranium enrichment centrifuge" as well.

Hoping to pick up the giant slide and podcast studio in the liquidation auction.

But it doesn't look like any kind of genital?

Mandelson has been sent into exile. Which used to mean they would make you go and live on an island, but in THIS case

Udon't have to be so down on yourselves. Soba-d things hap-penne-d. Are you going to cry over it or act like ramen and do something to recover?

Get them in with the Bollock Squig, keep them in with the annoying green rods!

I think she's almost certainly going to score better on control and power as well. Aggression might let her down, but I reckon if it goes to a judged decision, she's a winner.

Next up is Oscar The Grouch offering advice on how to use trash cans to safely contain tear gas containers. Just make sure it's not someone's home first!

A few years ago, when the polar vortex dropped on Canada, a friend of mine was working at a ski resort. He sent me a screenshot of his weather app that showed -40c (plus wind chill) and a screenshot of the NASA site with the telemetry from the Mars rover, reporting that it was -36c there.

This is horrible (positive). You should be very proud. And maybe slightly disturbed.

@misterabk.bsky.social now, why does it look like you're absolutely tripping balls here? I watched that "last" episode of Mock of the Week, and if you were then those editors really earned their pay.

If I had my way Kiryu would be an optional boss fight in every game.

Am I unfunny?

The best Planet of the Apes is Stop the Planet of the Apes, I Want to Get Off! starring Troy McClure.
