Good point. Frankly, I think Martin was so caught up in using magic that wouldn’t be seen as Tolkeinesque and made a lot of it up on the fly.

Marvel has me so mad right now. They released that awesome teaser trailer for Black Panther SO EARLY. Like “almost 10 months before the premiere” too early.

In D&D, I play a half-orc tempest cleric, which my group playfully describes as the “love-child of Hulk and Thor.”

One of the major headlines after Charlottesville was about these right-wing guys getting their ancestry results back and getting angry with the high percentage of “African” DNA.

I saw a comment about this phenomenon recently and it really stuck with me: “If 10 ‘good people’ for any reason hang out with 1 Nazi, you’ve got 11 Nazis.”

Oh come on now, this is ridiculous. Britain has roughly the same percentage of white people who get angry at the thought of their tax dollars being spent on brown people. Your faux-shock is completely transparent.

And couldn’t make it out of the primary. Lost by how many millions of votes? 3 million? 4 million?

Obvious BernieBro who is afraid of strong women is obvious.

Conyers has been introducing his bill in the House for 15 years now. It’s offensive to a lot of people to try to imply that this is some new thing Bernie Sanders is doing. Jesus H Christ, what a fucking ego on that guy.

I’m the one guy among my friends who doesn’t get a nostalgia-boner every time someone mentions Goonies, so I can sympathize with not understanding the appeal of Stranger Things.

Point of fact: Theon won his fight.

One rule =/= no rules.

Calvinball actually has one rule. A real fan would have known that.

D&D FTW. The game, not these producers. lol

The Fall of the Wall was a false flag operation!
