There’s an excellent book by Peter Robinson, Flying Blind, that deep dives into what happened at Boeing and the 737 MAX, and why. (Perversely, it was my in-flight reading material on my last business trip, which was indeed on a 737 MAX).

Makes sense. D&D is the lingua franca of gaming. Get a bunch of random gamers together and no matter their preference or background they’re all going to know D&D.

D&D specifically, because it’s more universally known. Years ago I was really into Werewolf: The Apocalypse but pre-internet I didn’t know anyone else who played. The rules for that one were also more like guidelines than anything else. I also read through Cyberpunk and Shadowrun at one point, but I was more…

Messing is not the only celebrity Trump grossed out with one of his “crushes.”

I grew up in North Jersey in the 80s. Trump was always a punchline; shorthand for “gaudy” and a poor man’s idea of a rich man.

If you were from NYC, you knew.

I don’t give a shit about TikTok. I don’t personally use it, don’t have an account, and in principle I actually agree with some of the concerns about data privacy.

Curious — are you looking to get into TTRPG (table top roleplaying games) or specifically D&D? It’s tempting to use the terms interchangeably (I do when I’m talking to non-gamers) but know there’s a huge TTRPG universe outside of D&D — plus the different editions of the games themselves play distinctly.

I am trying to consume less news these days so willing to admit I’ve missed something, but my read these last few months is that they are neck-and-neck and if anything Trump has been ahead, specifically in key swing states.

“Just like you, I’ve got, what, 10, 11 kids, right? And just like you, my kids can’t stand spending time with me. So get this — instead of having your kids in the cold embrace of an unfeeling caregiver who cannot process human emotion, why not put a robot in charge of them instead?”

Fuck off. It’s a miracle if cops even get moved to another town, let alone face any real consequences.

Aww the cop among us is offended.

Found the cop.

I would agree but history has shown us that cops are not held accountable and when they are people like you complain and say it is unfair and they were just doing their job.

lol yup Hunter sure lost my vote!

Ah yes, the problem with social media all along is people online have been too restrained by shame and humility

Hate to defend George Lopez, but fuck all hecklers. Shut the fuck up. It doesn’t matter that the comments were “positive”. This goes for dipshits singing along and screaming at concerts too.

Once again: if you’re at a live performance, barring an emergency that generates a cry of pain or some other kind of involuntary noise, your task is simple: shut the fuck up, and watch the show.
