There’s a reason he hasn’t tried already.

Yeah, I don’t think that was Marvel saying “we need this,” but rather North saying “HAW HAW THE SUITS HAVE TO ARGUE LEGAL ISSUES ABOUT SOMEONE WITH PARTIALLY SQUIRREL BLOOD.”

Real quick - was this Netflix themselves who sent this out, or was it MSL? I (luckily) haven’t received any emails from Netflix, but HOLY SHIT if this is what they think of me as a dude, fuck that noise. Preferably with the dick that they previously stuck in a blender, per your excellent advice.

I always forget that Reliant/NRG/WhateverTheFuck has a retractable roof. Because, yeah, IT’S NEVER OPEN.

I was trying to remember the proper name for that one - I’ve also seen it as “Anita’s Irony”.

I… Oh, SHIT, THIS MUST HAPPEN.
The only thing that would be better than a Prowl add-on would be a Nurse Whitney screenplay accessory for Thundercracker.

His version was my introduction to "Heartbeats" - when I finally heard The Knife's, I was kinda startled.

The general statement was "TB covered it! See? See?"

Chunks of them EXPLICITLY identify as the version of Bane from Dark Knight Rises. You'll see "The Fire Rises" as a hashtag relatively often.

And, wrapping this back around, Simone got accused of helping to orchestrate a DDoS attack on a gaming site as an anti-GG maneuver, AFTER deliberately trying to build bridges to gamers (as one herself).

I'm pretty sure that crapping on Gail Simone is some REAL bad karma right there.

FWIW, he IS a pretty good actor - as the Spouse notes, yeah, he's typecast, but with that body-type producers are going to put him in Jayne/Linderman/That Guy In ID4 roles regardless of what sort of performance he's capable of.

You have to put all the connections between all the apps together yourself.

LONG before that, kiddo. Look up the Marathon wiki sometime, which also draws in work from Pathways into Darkness.

I believe that's "Paul 'I Sure Wish I Was Mark Knopfler' McCartney".

(I kid - it's overwrought, but it's big-ass-end-credits music. Sounds good to me.)

It's building up and I'm getting a little impatient, so I skip ahead several minutes into it ('cause prog), and let it play again and HOLY SHIT JON ANDERSON YEP THAT'S YES ALRIGHT.

Wasn't there a commercial spinoff after the license dropped that used the same ruleset, but with non-franchise-identity cards?

"If anything, the tone in her videos is a lot more calm and measured than a lot of the stuff you'll find in the more...polemical scholarly writings."

The Spouse's parents are both compsci doctorates who've dabbled in AI. They've got … OPINIONS about how some of Chomsky's language processing papers have dealt with…

"I've spoken to several developers who have outright said that Sarkeesian's videos have made them rethink some of their past work and their approach to how they create things."

I've always loved the "oh… HUH. WOW. So THAT'S what I was doing" moment when I realize where a particular element I put in came from, or see…

Know your audience. Know your audience. Know your audience.

And remember that your audience is likelier wider than that.

And own it if you fail. Bad carpenters blame their tools, bad comedians blame their audiences. And call them tools.

And THAT is why I'm not a comedian.
