Discworld QOTD, from Monstrous Regiment "A splendid effort. But, sadly, the world we live in has certain … rules, you understand? To be frank, the problem here is not that you are women. As such, that is. But you persist in maintaining that you are. You see? We can’t have that."

So an *interesting* modern take on A Christmas Carol would be focused on a manosphere redpilled techbro hosting a soulless Christmas party at his fifth McMansion wondering why none of his family has talked to him in ten years, and then getting absolutely schooled by the Ghosts Of You Utter Asshole

If you’re a Gondorian soldier your experience with hobbits is a tiny guy shows up with a wizard and is immediately taken in the Steward’s counsel. He saves Faramir when the Steward goes mad. A second tiny guy arrives with the Rohirrim and kills the Witch King. The first one then goes on campaign …

I am forever annoyed about this, that movie did everything you could possibly want in an adaptation it was made by people who understand what makes tabletop gaming great and somehow made it work on screen and it should have made a billion dollars

it's SATIRE TIME thanks to Trump attacking Iran (part Epstein distraction, part because "he had a feeling based on facts") so I present to you a brand new piece: A Much-Needed Update to Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War” as Presented in Trump’s Daily Intelligence Briefing 1/16

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: 1) drafting (not CAD, honest to God pencil and paper drafting) 2) differential equations 3) atmospheric dispersion modeling 4) social problems 5) wastewater treatment

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: 1) a history of modern terrorism (useful for the fascist ICE era) 2) intro to Buddhism (taught by Uma Thurman’s dad!) 3) Italian opera 4) Leadership and community organizing (perennially useful) 5) Arabic

A good rule of thumb Democrats should use to figure out how to interact with Trump is to imagine you’re addressing Jabba the Hutt. Do you sound tough? Defiant? Or are you some pandering slimeball who is obviously going to be double-crossed and fed to the Sarlacc?

Holy shit. This is bad. Like devastatingly, awful bad. The bedrock regulations underlying our access to clean air and water are going to be gutted. More people are going to get sick and die. And so much for limiting GHG emissions. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/c...
