Only if you’re trying to enjoy a movie.

Ginger ale with rum myself. It’s like a dark and stormy but...not. But still good.

There’s a multi-part episode where Trolley takes them out of the kingdom and on a several-day-long trip to see Grand Pere. So...how is anyone else getting around town with the Tigers hogging Trolley like that?

Apparently Marvel Television had a little more in production than I was remembering. io9 has a better breakdown. But the core still stands: the Disney+ stuff is safe.

Sounds like the debates my wife and I used to have about Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood.

Yeah, I mean, I kinda think there are more than enough reality shows about following the day-to-day lives of people who seem to only be famous because there’s a reality show following their day-to-day lives. So...I watch The Mandalorian or Watchmen instead.

The Marvel Television studio, which was a separate division from the Marvel Studio that creates all the movies, is being shuttered with a lot of layoffs. The upcoming Disney+ shows are all in production under the umbrella of what had, until they were announced, been exclusively the movies division. Those aren’t going…

Speaking of places that serve MSG without people freaking out about how they’re not “clean”...

“Clean means no MSG.” Even when trying to dodge accusations of racism she still deploys the MSG dog whistle.

I’d be more worried that at any moment a camera might be on me and turn me into an internet meme because it caught the moment I did something embarrassing.

He’s got a career doing Hallmark movies if nothing else. They love a generically attractive male lead who is okay wearing plaid on camera.

Most memorable moment I can think of was her tying college debt relief to a very specific series of hoops (just for Pell Grants, requiring someone to open a small business in an economically disadvantaged area and staying open for three years).

I mean, I was planning on getting a pie bird anyway, why not shell out a few bucks for am pie porg. Which was probably the one item I’ve seen that had the right overlap of not insanely expensive and something I’d actually use.

I just started to assume everything was anachronistic, and was surprised to find cumin (one of his ingredients in the back pain poultice) was in England by that time.

He knew what a skunk was! Skunks are a new world species and absolutely not something he would have ever seen in 13th century England.

So of all the things to potentially bug me (why does he travel through space as well as time, how can he understand modern English, how can he read...anything) for some reason the one that bothered me most is how he could bake with modern yeast. Medieval bread would have been baked using starters and wild yeast, and…

One can of chunky cranberry sauce. One packet of onion soup mix. Combine, pour over 3-4 chicken breasts, bake at 350 until cooked through, enjoy.

4e was designed around pulling out a battle map and putting down your miniatures. 5e tries to make that optional, allowing for either structured battle map combat or keeping things more theater-of-the-mind. Though even in the latter, I kind of like having a miniature, as it makes my character feel more “real.”

Yeah, a few people pointed that out. Which makes even less sense, so is probably why I had it backwards.
