If he is still capable of playing anyone other than himself, Jack Black could absolutely kill it as Zsinj.

My brain birthed the thought "Dee Bradley Baker would voice Runt" and I am so horrified that I have to go lie down.

Everyone who rhapsodizes about agricultural labor should be forced to spend a year as the lowest tier of farm worker. And not on a β€˜organic’ , β€˜sustainable’, β€˜regenerative’ etc farm. One of the big commercial, mass-market operations that actually supply most of the world’s food.

Every talking head news show should have done exactly this for the last decade.

In my defense I don't even know anyone that works on a farm.

Stared at this for 30 seconds before I realized "shoveling feed" referred to an actual real world action involving animal chow and was not a new way of saying doom scrolling.

The offramp is just Iran and Trump angrily subtweeting each other until Trump dies on the toilet.

they're not going to do this and don't need it, but as the white house's politics advisor, i am going to loudly insist that they keep repeating it

Shoutout to the circa 1990s Watson-Gleason playground in the Bronx. Any physical courage that I have, I learned from one of these.

guys, i don't know how to tell you this, but if that genie can't be put back then we need to beat him to death with baseball bats

this is what we are doing to a nation, to a people, for no reason higher or more complex than: our president thinks it makes him look "tough" and "cool"

who could possibly be forgiven for this

MechWarrior 5 recently added military academies to the game, with West Point somehow still operating on Earth without being run by Comstar. I was inspired to paint cadet and instructor mechs.

idk I’ve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesn’t matter if they’re someone’s mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet
