Just to be clear, the Trump class battleships won't have magnets, yeah?

There are literally fire wyrms in the backstory. This should not be a hold up!

This is an oddly good, sleeper Christmas movie. My kids have loved it for year, and even my now cynical ass teenage child is still like, "Klaus is peak!"

I'm not sure if I think there is an ASOIAF take that is worse than GRRM is too grim-dark and it has ruined modern fantasy for a generation. GRRM isn't even grim-dark; his stories are deeply moral. Maybe learn to read and quit just repeating shit you see on-line.

Just realized that the reason Avatar bs keeps popping up in my feed is that fans are abbreviating The Way of Water as TWOW. TWOW stands for The Winds of Winter, chuckle fucks. Get out of my feed!

Remember, it is always okay to dead name Gerald Dayne.

The problem with the end of season 8 wasn't that Jon kills Daenerys, it's that it is framed as a moral decision to kill dragon Stalin rather that the abandonment of duty for love in his desire to protect Sansa and Arya, as Danny plans to to use the dragons to retake the North.

Tired: Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Inspired: Jazz is Christmas music.

I think that was my favorite episode of Pluribus.

Clearly, Cersei, but also Danny and Arya.

Nerd Level 1: Hey! Holly is reading A Wrinkle in Time. Nerd Level 2: Mike calling Will a Sorcerer is BS because the class wasn't introduced until 5E. (We don't talk about 4e.) Nerd Level 3: Mike's talk with Holly is BS too, dimension door was never on the cleric spell list. (She'll tesser later.)

As we approach the Long Night on the 21st, I just want to remind everyone that axial tilt is always the true reason for the season.

How about no? Fuck that. Fuck No. Just no.

Because it's a war crime

Having re watched Jackson's Lord of the Rings this last year, I just have to comment about how great the casting was, and not just the obvious casting. Ian McKellon, John Noble and Christopher Lee are all so good you could have randomly cast them as any of their roles...

When I was 30, a date with my wife was browsing at the bookstore, walking over to the art house movie theater, picking a move, and discussing it over dinner. Then we had kids, and smart phones became a thing. My attention span declined, and I became bad at living my life authentically.

You just have to love that GRRM has Uthor Hightower just hanging out like the French knight in the Holy Grail, when Garth and the "First Men" role up. It perfectly reflects the inconsistency of real world myths, while giving us heads up not to trust the story.

Fellowship of the Ring, opening night, Portland, OR, peak 20 something Portlandia crowd. HP Lovecraft Film Festival, at the Hollywood Theater, also in Portland, OR peak 20 something Portlandia crowd. Seven, at a derelict, nearly abandoned drive-in movie theater in Pomona, CA.

Welcome to my Ted Talk...

LMFAO wait grrm definitely named this dude from the Faith Militant who fought againt Maegor after jerry falwell 😭 that's so funny

14 has already been out two days this week and will miss tomorrow. The cruel part is that she missed her English class finishing the Odyssey and will miss them starting A Wrinkle in Time. It's like the universe is mocking her.

Here's the thing. If I was to give you my typical experience with African immigrants in WA and CA -- and honestly, this shouldn't be the argument, with the whole model minority thing -- but my typical experience: fucking kind, charming, intelligent people with nice kids and cool accents.

Azor Ahai was the Bloodstone Emperor, it is known.

Uh, the fuck, HBO took all the Doctor Who episodes down and Disney+ only has the new seasons? None of the services are carrying the old episodes, none!

Seriously, my ASOIAF feed has no one actually discussing anything substantive about ASOIAF. It's just fucks complaining about HBO and GRRM. I'm just excitted we are getting A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. I feel very very sad for people who haven't read those novellas.

I have to say, I just saw this take, elsewhere, that Mad Men hits a lot different in 2025 than when in came out in 2007, and I just have to say that if you didn't get that the show was depicting sexism in 2007, you might have been living in a hole.

We will note that she doesn't have resurrect one of my fallen companions as a dialogue option.

I actually hate it when people complain about the luxuries of billionaires. Sure, it's gross, but I don't care. I care about the power their wealth gives them over the economy. I care that if their ROI is a percentage or two higher on rentals rather than building new homes, they're going to do that.

The real Thanksgiving is on Friday morning, eating leftovers and watching Lord of the Rings with my youngest.

I get that tesseract is on point for A Wrinkle in Time, but Dimension Door is not on the cleric spell list.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last tv show you watched are coming to rescue. I might be okay. The collateral damage will be significant.

Actually, not only is Attack of the Clones better than Revenge of the Sith. Revenge of the Sith is the second worse of all eleven of the movies. It is arguably better than The Rise of Skywalker and The Holiday Special.

Wait, there are young people on Facebook?

A movie that takes place where you’re from.

So, I just had this weird moment where I realized I read Mamdani's dad's book, 20 years ago, and it is sitting on my shelf next to my DM's Guide.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

Catching up on my Marvel movies this weekend. 🎵 Nothing looks quite like Earth 818 Science makin', science science makin Super powered, planet breakin' 🎵

Has anyone directly asked Trump about it yet?

Carol is both unlikable and easy to identify with. I've spent, most of the three episodes just hanging out with her and experiencing the events from her perspective without putting much thought into where the story is going. I think that in-the-momentness of the show is a testament to the writting.

So, I am learning about an alleged blow job from IRL friends on Facebook, and I am deeply disappointed in all of you. You are supposed to be keeping me ahead of them.

If Trump goes down with the Epstein scandal, he's taking the Clintons with him.

This is exactly what I was thinking yesterday. Yes, I too am old enough to remember when we used to make a distinction between actual pedophiles and shit bags who rape under age teens, but I don't bring it up, because it is a terrible tucking argument!

Roughly 44 million housing units, are being rented in the US at this given time. 14 million of those are single family homes. Landlords are taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens.

You know the deal in Twin Peaks where girls working at the department store were being trafficked and raped at One-Eyed Jack's, and everyone at Laura's funeral acted like Bobby was crazy when he started screaming "you wanna know who killed Laura? YOU DID! We all did!" That's the country we live in.

This: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair But with my Dad it's tax cuts.

I only like the whole Bond genre as parody, anyhow. Austin Powers? yeah. Bashir dicking around on the holodeck? Yep. The Evil Genius video game, a fucking master piece. Actual, James Bond movies? Fuck that shit. I would put on The Nude Bomb, before I watched one of those.

I just want to give a shout out to Pluribus for acknowledging how physically exhausting it is to dig a grave in your back yard, especially if you have crap rocky soil.

It's so weird how Nigeria just happens to be Africa's top oil producing nation and Venesuala just happens to have the world's largest proven oil reserves.

Jesus would definitely withhold SNAP benefits. I mean, not the one in the Bible, mind you, but the right-wing fan-fic Jesus, that guys hates hungry children.

I'm the neighbor who still has his Halloween decorations up.
