Just a random guy on the internet. Ravenloft & Star Munchkin RPG writer, Replica Ship Half Moon chronicler in former lives. Mostly just listening these days. That actually is me in the hazmat avatar.

Slipped away from a wedding reception to catch IDIOTS, from the director of the TOXIC AVENGER remake. Took me a while to click into the movie’s groove, but once I did—about when Kiernan Shipka walks in—its dark heart grabbed me for the remainder.

Can't find the article now, but whenever I hear the name Milo Yiannapoulos I think of the writer who met him at a party orbiting an RNC convention and described him to the effect of:
"I could see the dumpster fires burning behind the eyes of his human suit."

I have just been informed that when Marvel left the THE NEW WARRIORS pilot to wither on the vine we were robbed not just of Milana Vayntrub's Squirrel Girl but ALSO a practical Tippy Toe puppet. There is no justice in this world.

Binged S3 of #1670 tonight. Some of my favorite characters from S2* are sadly back-benched this season, but I'm laughing as much as ever. Fingers crossed they get to cross the finish line with a fourth season.

one aggressive hardball thing I would like to see happen is blue states coordinating to have deliberately contradictory and difficult to navigate regulatory environments for hostile regime-aligned businesses such as X. what red states did with abortion pre dobbs.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

If someone provides a link to a 2023 "source," but the "source" doesn't include the photo: Bullshit.
If someone posts an "original" photo showing the subjects poolside, but it's still interior lighting: Bullshit.

Just stayed up all night finishing Alien: Cult. I’ve been barreling through the Titan novels this year (hooked by the RPG). Gotta say, Cult is a blast, and not just another pastiche. 11 books in, this is right up there with Alien: Into Charybdis as far as I’m concerned.

The fact that the Hudson River is currently capable of sustaining aquatic life is due in no small part to this organization, as a note.
Footage shot from aboard a ship owned by the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater environmental organization showed the U.S. Coast Guard and New York Police Department vessels directing the tall ship away from New York Harbor's Sail4th 250 parade on July 4. reut.rs/4gX4oxR
