Even when I still believed, none of the gendering of a supreme being made sense. The Holy Spirit the absolute least, but God the “father” also seeming a huge stretch.

One outlet to rebel would be just run a Lawful Evil campaign in 2E, like a normal person. Get all your weird depravities out as a Templar of Nibenay or something.

I think those guys are gonna be FEMA now, so they’re not available.

I’m a firm believer in the Ballmer Peak, when it comes to alcohol use & work.

Reddit post:
“Dear parents,

Just because your child is smiling at their phone doesn't mean they have a boyfriend/girlfriend. Maybe they're just looking at pictures of Trebuchets”

And then 4 pictures of trebuchets

Is it time to resurrect the old trebuchet memes?!

Lockwood & Co deserved a couple more seasons.

There was only ever one time it made sense to me to go to a chili’s-when you’re at the airport and the other options are even worse.

Bringing alcohol into the office is the American dream.

Yes, this is the correct answer

That might get me into wrestling

This is kind of Thomas Ligotti’s Whole Thing, isn’t it?

In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Maybe he just should’ve ate more steak about it

Not exactly looking forward to today. Need a bit of a mood boost.

Would that make me a good dad, a terrible dad, or an awesome dad?

Horrorsky, what’s the story on taking kids to see Hausu?

I think @chucktingle.bsky.social would say that I should go for the pitch.

I need to cultivate my inner Chuck a bit more.

Just texted a couple of friends with a 33 1/3 pitch that’s maybe not half bad?

Can I actually pitch and write a book?

That’s the same kind of person who will “gladly trade a little sleepiness once for an extra hour of sunshine”.

We ❤️ Video is probably on your radar already, but that.

I feel this way about people (especially my demographic) calling themselves allies or feminists. It’s a title you earn, and not something you call yourself.

Anyway, a trailer for Hausu played before Stop Making Sense. 11yo turns to me and “Dad, we should probably see that”

This is both unexpected and unsurprising.

So, we don’t talk enough about just how talented a bass player Tina Weymouth is.

Like, my dad would take the kids to a place like this when my mom worked nights and would sleep on the weekends. We’d often get 7-11 hot dogs after.

Also glad to know this wasn’t just some dream of an awesome place that never existed.

I have incredibly fuzzy memories of playgrounds like this! How many existed in Nassau County in the late 1980s?

(tl;dr: once you use a high speed national rail system, you get angry that we spend so much time driving and money on literally everything else)
