Interestingly, according to the Indiana Criminal Code, max sentence for theft over $50,000 is 1-6 years in jail, plus restitution if the merch isn’t recovered (already sold off), plus if the game store suffered any issues with maintaining the business because of loss the GenCon profits they could file civil suit. Any…

One of my favorite things about the prequels is how it portrays how flawed and hidebound the institution of the Jedi is, and having Ahsoka leave the Order as she grows and recognizes those flaws in the spin-off show was an inspired decision.

This story gets crazier and crazier. Did they not think there were cameras? The theft was so brazen. They’re wearing their own merch FFS.

Why are you still reading the drivel they write here? They quit trying since Herb.

The headline is clickbait. The actual content is “Longtime editor Tom Brevoort is moving from the Avengers to the X-Men.” That’s it.

Great video. That’s a feather star, though - they never do have stems. The stemmed crinoids move as well, but it’s a lot eerier. Like a broom dragging itself along the floor by its bristles.

I found the scale bars are in the publication. The one pictured is small and the strawberry nodule appears to be less than half a centimeter in diameter. The overall length looks like a dozen centimeters or so.

Have you ever seen a feather star swim? Unlike ‘starfish’ they attach themselves to the floor on stems (often resembling an inanimate a flower) but when it’s time to move from danger they go into buzz-mode:

I know a face hugger when I see one!

The article calls it mustard gas because the “author” “Kyle Barr” is really an AI writing about another AI, and taking real jobs away from incompetent Giz writers.

My chemistry degree demands I be pedantic about this: chlorine gas (Cl2) and mustard gas (most commonly ClC2H4SC2H4CL) are not the same thing and mixing bleach with ammonia makes neither. It makes chloramine gas (NH2Cl) which is another compound which you don’t want to breath.

Definitely not a new problem, just one that Giz gets to highlight since AI happened to be involved this time and that’s their current hot topic.

The problem is that not every name is unique, what happens when another real Jane Friedman wants to publish a book?

Starfish and Peacemaker was James Gunn. You know, the good one.

I think it’s the one where the character that was obviously going to betray them betrayed them in an obvious way that even the other characters in the movie saw coming, yet did not even really make any attempt to stop.

This is literally the first I’ve heard of this. Source?

It is clearly NOT a man in a bear suit. It is OBVIOUSLY two 9 year olds in a bear suit.

“ A video of the bear, named Angela, was posted on social media”

The sign was pretty ugly, too.

The whole concept of a “Ghost Kitchen” is such a scam from the get go.
