It’s a shame the space portion of Star Wars: Galaxies wasn’t more widely experienced. Being so integrated with the MMPORPG you couldn’t just jump in and fly an X-Wing or TIE. You had to level up in the ground game and acquire resources, friends, and connections to get a ship. And when you did get a ship it took

The Russian troll accounts are out in force now. They haven’t even updated their scripts from 2016. Flag them as spam and harrassment and do not engage.

Russia doesn’t have a second amendment and you are not a native English speaker. Collect your rubles and go back in your troll hole.

Also in the end montage of all the primitive brown people in backwater non-AMERICAN countries triumphantly cheering at the crashed alien ships taken down by AMERICA.

Comrade you are using the troll script from 2016. You are not a democrat or asking in good faith. Collect your rubles and go away.

Perfect time for Cow Clicker to make a comeback!

How is it I’m all emotional over this song because of a bunch of ridiculous saluting space pirates and a sad raccoon.

It’s funny to recognize Becca as Karen Baldwin from For All Mankind. She seems to specialize in being the troubled wife/mother back home with an exceptional but problematic man’s son. That series didn’t get much coverage here but she has a major role with a decent arc (my quick take: great cast, great space stuff,

Recalling Lovecraft’s lines in Call Of Cthulhu about degraded mongrel mixed-blood “voodoo” cultists in the thrall of the Old Ones, it was delightful to realize the Orisha was there to drive some evil murderous colonizer spirits the hell out.

Cartoon Network has been speaking up, not least after they fired Unknown Hinson for trashtalking BLM and Dolly Parton.

Music videos were all downhill after Billy Squier’s “Rock Me Tonite” and the greatest choreography ever.

I live in Haight-Ashbury across the street from a top notch bookstore. Once they hosted a panel discussion on homeless youth, a huge issue here. Two panelists were current and former homeless youths who shared their stories and answered questions. It was off to a great start and very illuminating.

The question might be why someone would keep and prominently display a Goethe book, ie. do they identify with Faust or Werther.


The difference is that while low rise jeans look good on a tiny number of people and horrible on everyone else, high waisted mom jeans look equally unflattering on everyone. They’re much more democratic.

The essential Moosewood Cookbook recipe to experience is the Hungarian Mushroom Soup. Back in my era (college circa 1990 in Portland) people bought the book just for the mushroom soup. It was a big deal when the 1992 edition revised the recipe to only use one pot.

Has Root covered Weathered Souls’ Black Is Beautiful beer project? Over a thousand craft breweries are making a Black-owned recipe nationwide to raise money for BLM and local organizations. And it’s really good. You can look up who’s making it near you or get the recipe yourself.

Tonight’s Agents of SHIELD is also the directing debut of one Elizabeth Henstridge!

If you’re in the bathroom there should be a sink. Full disclosure I also do the final wipe with a non-flushable, but just run it under the tap and squeeze dry, it goes in the trash with nothing to fester.

Dammit. I’ve tried to stop giving money to Amazon but I also want to speak with my wallet for Prime content I want. I only ever had Prime for The Tick and renewed it for The Expanse since both shows were a big deal to me. I wish there was a way to earmark payments Not For Evil.
