ngl if a new day has come by celine dion isn’t in at least one season of heated rivalry then that’s a missed opportunity

I was at a wrestling match tonight and when I went to go to the bathroom everyone agreed that it was the fastest gender neutral/women's bathroom we've ever been in and we all cheered and that's a truly beautiful thing.

Sick! Okay this makes sense. One of the kids has origami knives and one has tampons and a lighter and so I’m like y’know what let’s just get weird

Possibly? My Big Idea right now is to keep it more vibes roll based. They’ve collected a bunch of stuff on the adventure/have items in their backpacks that could’ve used to take on a monster and that feels more true to KoB/the Goonies flavor of it

I’ve played games with this group but never run a game before, this is the first. KoB seems to be the least helpful when it comes to building a monster so I’m trying to figure out if it’s a numbers fight or a vibes fight

Hi! I'm currently running a Kids on Bikes game for some friends and would love any/all advice on how to create a monster for them to fight. Do I fully stat it out? Have them be creative in how they face off and that does "damage"?

Friends! Editors! If you know of any freelance opportunities, please send them my way! I’m looking for anything to do with books (fic & nonfic), movies, tv shows, games, etc! I’d love the chance to expand my portfolio over the next few months.

Last thing I’ll say is having Dan Romer do the music for this season is some A+++ shit

Okay so the reason I think a knight of the seven kingdoms works so well & is so good is pretty much on par with why I think andor works so well and is so good

No dragons. No Jedi.

ChatGPT promised to help her find her soulmate. Then it betrayed her ChatGPT sent screenwriter Micky Small down a fantastical rabbit hole. Now, she's finding her way out.

I initially had sympathy but then theres the bit about how she started with using ChatGPT to outline screenplays and I guess I'm into personal responsibility now

Not enough people talking about how a knight of the seven kingdoms might be the best game of thrones thing ever to be put to screen

The fun thing about unexplained weird things right now is that both terrible explanations and benign explanations accompanied by terrible communication and planning seem possible, so that helps preserve the suspense.

they don't have enough guys, and if the response in Minnesota shows anything it is that trying something like this is going to drive a much larger backlash than anything they hope to gain out of it

"oh well I guess we'll just stay home" is not how this is going to go

Nice to see what people are turning to for a little bit of escapism AND the return to physical media that’s been happening

I’ve had a couple friends tell me that they’re reading more now than they have over the past few years and I think that absolutely rocks

There is so much bad in the world, let's take a moment to applaud the man who brought a pizza cutter to try to break Luigi Mangione out of jail. That's beautiful.

Friendly reminder that it is uncool and mean to dogpile on businesses (especially small businesses) that can’t close on Friday for the strike, especially when so many are doing what they can to show solidarity.

No ICE agent looks tougher than Illhan Omar did when she stepped into the face of the man who assaulted her like she was going to clock him

it's that scene from peaky blinders where cilian murphy (at peak hotness) is telling each of his relatives "NO FIGHTING, NO FUCKING FIGHTING" bc they are all stupid boys who like to fight. fighting has here been replaced with "no posting that you can go to jail over"
