No way I’m going to a movie theater until there’s a vaccine. I’m in a high risk group, and so is my spouse, and I just cannot take the risk of being in a hard to sanitize theater with a lot of people, at least half of whom have bought into the BS emanating from the White House and aren’t taking any precautions at all.…

Just a reminder, FASA, creator of Shadowrun and Battletech / Mechwarrior, is still in business, never went out of it. Our flagship is Earthdawn, post apocalyptic sword and sorcery, and we also have 1879, kind of steampunk Shadowrun. More at https://fasagames.com.

And if you want to support a smaller publisher that’s bringing out original steampunk content, check out ***1879*** from FASA at http://1879.fasagames.com, the successor to Earthdawn since we sold Shadowrun off to Topps lo these many years ago.

Back up your slam with hard data. Also, learn to spell “you’re”.

Long time IWW here, former TST member, in Nashville TN, teaching my coworkers how to bake their own bread, and sharing info through the Fedi. Well said. If the rest of the USA doesn’t remember that it’s We The People, and roll up our sleeves and work together the way poor folks have always had to, we’re not going to…

I just gotta ask, Charles, are you on the Fedi? Because that’s where I first saw the line about having a little, as a treat.

Really picky point but it does address representation: They’re not getting married in that top photo, they’re getting handfasted. This applies to religious representation, and to Nico’s being a witch carrying over to more than her magic. It also speaks to the fact that pagans in the USA were formally recognizing queer…

The larger problem with Sonos is their hypocrisy towards the idea of sustainability. They deliberately brick their speakers so that you can’t repurpose or otherwise reuse them, breaking the stairstep of Reduce-Reuse-Repurpose-Recycle, from most preferred to least. The bricking is done by software and their servers,…

Buying a Ring makes you part of the continuing abuse of authority by the police, and America’s march toward a fascist police state. If you’re dismissing this, you’re white. PoC already know about this, and have been saying it, you’re just not listening.

It’s quintessentially British, a rhetorical question meant to establish support. The expected answer is “Of course”. This isn’t so much a question as a responsa, a call and answer pair meant to confirm the relationship rather than question it. This is exactly the sort of thing the PM would ask of a senior asset in…

This is Glass-Steagall being repealed all over again.

Never piss off the kitchen staff.

Pfft. I’ve seen the 1962 Lawrence of Arabia, with Peter O’Toole as T.E. Lawrence. It was 3 hours 36 minutes. And worth it. Bring me a three hour Endgame. I can pace my beverage consumption.

I’ve really liked how Rita has gone from “Nope, not gonna” to slowly being one of the more useful members of the group, and has only used her powers (deliberately) twice in the series so far. Her going all momma bear over Elliott was the strongest arc in this episode.

Danvers’ father was an asshole. So was mine. When I was ten, my father beat me for losing a fight to a neighborhood bully. I identified with Carol at that moment. Yeah, it’s a father’s job to protect their kids. Some suck at it. Some completely fail at it. That’s reality. Your point is invalid.

With Snagglepuss up for the comics award, it got late early. Such a brilliant work. The teaser piece that ran at the back of another title had one of the finer moments talking about the responsibility of the writer.

Strangely, I find myself more interested now, with this trailer, than with previous glimpses. The Bangles? Dark humour? An appropriate reaction to “we have to save the world”? Yeah, this feels like it might be fun in a screwed up way.

Get’em Leslie. I liked the reboot. Bringing in Patty at the beginning, as a historian and city expert, was way better than Winston’s tokenism halfway through the original. And McKinnon was a treasure.
