What exactly is happenin?

Apologies if you know all this, or if you were talking about some news I hadn’t yet heard!

There’s no word what the episode is, what condition it’s in, and if there are more, but FiF is pretty reliable according to those in the know. No word on when it’ll get returned--they’ve said “an announcement is soon” a few times, but then there have been additional complications.

If you’re talking about the story I’ve been following, the organization Film is Fabulous located at least one missing episode in a collectors collection. As they were securing it, the collector died, making it difficult to get their hands on it. I thiiink they just got the rights to the collection.

I mean clearly anyone who hasn’t used autochthonous in a sentence hasn’t really lived.

I once ran a Bard who pretended he was a wizard by throwing smoke bombs and fireworks and then using persuade to convince his opponents they’d been hit with a spell. I imagine in your scenario this is what the father was doing all this time.

Deja Vu (All Over Again) YouTube video by John Fogerty - Topic

No one remembers this song I’m sure, but my dad played it a lot the last time around so it felt appropriat:

The Bitch on the Edge Forever, Who Cries for a Bitch?, The Bitchy Manuever, A Bitch of Both Worlds.

I didn’t think about it, but you’re right—more than Gen I or II, Gen III pokes are often created with one specific concept or gimmick in mind. It’s like they decided to fill a whole region full of Delibird, except make their gimmick actually usable.

Evolotto was a bad idea. I’m very surprised it stuck around as long as it did. I like the gag from the Slakoth line too, but I still think it’d be funny if it just went from Vigoroth to Slaking—you invest all this effort in a hard worker only for him to turn into a bum.

I also really like Komari and I’d probably drop all of the above for it as well, and probably Kodomon, the Tropius pre-evolution, and probably Kaen (Torkoal’s pre-ev). I hate Nosepass and Claydol too, but they fit important roles in the game so they can probably stay.

Oh definitely Spinda. I like Zangoose but I’d have preferred Makki; I don’t think the Slaking family would lose much without Slakoth, or the Wismur line without Loudred; I don’t know why you need Volbeat AND Illumise (or both Plusle and Minun for that matter). Do we really need Lunatone?

That feeling when you think you've finished with an episode of @andrewhickey.500songs.com ‘s “History of Rock” and then your car display rolls over, presenting you with 99 more minutes about The Beach Boys! ❤️

Spider Web traps? That’s a dumb mistake on my part. No one in the history of Pokemon has ever even used Spider Web though, so I bet no one but you notices :P

Hi everyone! We've got a new entry in the Cryptodex! This time, we're looking at Seedot, Surskit, Masquerain, Sableye, and Sharpedo! As always, I love reading your theories and ideas, so please let me know what you think!

Why aren’t other Democrats fighting? Do you have a read on why so many other Democrats aren’t doing more to stand up and oppose Trump’s illegal behaviors?

Five authors I’ve read at least five books by:

Kurt Vonnegut
Lawrence Miles
Mark Danielewski
David Foster Wallace
Douglas Adams

It’s about bullying. These politicians don’t care a shred for the values here. They want to make sure some kids grow up knowing they don’t belong.

Can I ask you what personally led to your support of Crockett? I’m torn between her and Talarico and I could go either way—what leans you in her direction and not in Talarico’s?

Agreed with you that Hinojosa seems like the best choice for Governor.

Richard Hofstadter, the godfather of modern US history, is still one of my favorite historians. It always strikes me when I reread his article, “The Paranoid Style of American Politics”, how much he was really just forecasting what conservativism would become. This passage stood out this time:

I cannot help but this thread is poetry. I cannot stop laughing.

Maybe she doesn’t? Maybe we‘ve proven the existence of philosophical zombies?

But that still doesn’t answer the question, “how can she act like that and still have human emotions and interiority?” and that’s the part that confounds me the most.

I had no idea that came from What We do in the Shadows!

That’s a good point—Tommy is really early for doing that sort of thing. Court of Crimson King might do some of that but it’s six months later. The Long Medley on Abbey Road approaches what you’re talking about, but is not quite the same thing as Tommy.

Why is Cleopatra in magic? Did we have a Shakespeare Universes Beyond set I missed?

Turns out, rich people, you’re depraved and awful habits are not something that vast majority of people do, it’s just something you and your friends have convinced yourself is normal.

Anyway, I keep seeing oped’s that basically boil down to “this is a witch hunt! Who hasn’t sent Epstein at least one email in their lives??” and all I can think about is David Cameron’s cock in a pig’s mouth.
