Move Thanksgiving up, be like Canada.

I’m going to blow your mind right now. Are you sitting down?

We don’t know whether or not that’s actually what happened!

To be fair, it might just speak to the human drive to be free of intestinal parasites.

It’s not a baffling film, though? I guess maybe it’s less clear if you didn’t have a Jewish or Christian religious upbringing, but don’t most western-educated people know the general outline of the opening books of Genesis? Am I being a cultural chauvinist? (Possibly).

Assuming you’re hosting enough people, eat both. That was traditional at my large family gatherings. White turkey-meat and a slice of ham are an amazing pairing.

I frickin’ love fried brussels sprouts. Put some nuts in there.

This is bringing on a real fit of nostalgia ... for Dalaran at the height of Wrath. That’s the wow memory that gets me right in the feels, watching people land, bustle around and take off from Fantasy Bespin.

While Jurassic Park is a very good movie, I really disliked what it did to the characters. Lol the lawyer is a snake lol. Haha the fat guy is gross and that’s funny. Kindly grampa whathisface. Killing Muldoon!

At some point, though, this starts to break down. On one side I might have a sex-worker activist feminist explaining why legalization will make her safer. On the other, I might have an indigenous abolitionist feminist who was a child victim of sex trafficking, explaining that only abolition would have prevented what…

Just when you think your day can’t get any weirder you read a thread of patriotic Americans defending innocent banks against the abuses of the wicked poor. What an odd country.

Wait... *counts* ... does L’il Kim have six fingers? Or... twelve fingers?

Ah, okay, you’re a goof. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t judging you based on a misunderstanding.

Howard. Delany. Martin. Bradley. Brooks. LeGuin. Goodkind. Anthony. Pratchett! Gaiman. De Lint.

I mean, I guess when I said “what?” I really meant “No, it is obviously not true that only Christians write western fantasy novels.”

I mean, that’s goofy. That’s not actually what you meant to say, right?

Technically not a religion, but the idea of the Lifestream from Final Fantasy 7 and Advent Children has always been rather inspiring to me.

I don’t remember that happening (Mercer is the man involved; the religious practice involves partaking in Mercer’s Christ-like martyrdom through a kind of full-body VR experience). I remember Mercer him/itself being left fairly mysterious by the story’s end. Did Dick write a sequel?

“Christian authors, who have a monopoly on fantasy in the West”

what?

All her victims were in their 70s.

Even the smug look in her headshot seems a little too on-the-nose, like a satire that’s trying too hard.
