Man, I disagree with a lot of people. This was funny. Not top-shelf Iannucci but it was funny. A constant stream of Malcom Tucker-esque exasperated putdowns. Yeah, some of the supporting cast wasn’t as strong as they could have been, it felt off in some way. But it was still funny as shit imho. Laurie being great goes

Pick up and start again with what remaining energy sources? Coal? Nope. We’ve completely gutted our surface deposits. What remains requires modern technology to reach and extract, modern technology that will not be able to produce, operate, or maintain. Oil? Same problem as coal. Natural gas? Same problem again.

Blacking out the sky specifically did not go well in “Operation Dark Storm” in “The Second Renaissance Part II”, the (canon!) Matrix prequel segment within The Animatrix.

First, she claims...

Kinda makes you wonder if he had a Morty, and if the kid is ok. 

Wow, Dan Harmon in a hostile work environment caused by an asshole who won't work with anyone and Dan is the good guy.  Interesting that he hasn't worked on much writing in years, bet the hardcore fans will latch onto that and not everything else.

I don’t warm to be an armchair psychologist, but my take on Harmon is that he’s a type of autistic where he has very limited self-awareness in the moment, but once he realizes why and how he’s doing things wrong, he is hyper-conscientious about it.

what other nations besides the USA viscerally despises women and children this much.

Australian Survivor is light years better than the US version

Oh my God, only men in America would think that breastfeeding is all about them instead of, you know, the baby who needs to survive.

Except “bussy” is a body part, a noun. Not an adjective like wussy.

He’s a rapist. A competent politician should be able to stop a rapist from getting on the Supreme Court. The Democrats put a brain damaged old lady in charge of the judiciary committee who has a history of putting abortionists in jail. Now we have a rapist on the Supreme Court. No excuse for that.

It’s everywhere actually

Comparing human women to the cattle that we use and abuse for to exploit their biological reproductive functions for our own gain is probably the most honest thing a Republican has said about abortion in decades.

The OGL was introduced in 2000 with the launch of D&D 3rd Edition.

I don’t think they expected it because the current whole monetisation plan is being driven by WotC President Cynthia Williams, who only arrived in the post in February 2022, has no RPG experience and came in from driving similar monetisation plans at Microsoft, and before that, Amazon.

“...adjust their messaging...” Typical corporate management BS. “Our customers and/or employees don’t like what we’re doing! Let’s find a way to say things differently without actually changing what we’re doing; then they’ll stop complaining.”

And perception check.

Sounds like they botched their charisma roll...
