Absolute legend.

But really, *those* are the movies we're naming? She won an Oscar for ANNIE HALL and more than held her own with an all-star cast in the GODFATHER films.

This is a really good article, and as an inveterate shitposter, I keep asking where the adults are.

I don’t *want* to be protesting! I don’t *want* to be arrested for standing up to oppression!! I want a boring government that works and takes care of everyone and I can go be stupid online!!!

im rewatching The Shining for the millionth time and while i think the book does some things better (getting us into Jack's head) the book is a story about a good man swallowed by ghosts and Kubrick's story is about a family annihilator, and thus much, much scarier

Mr Cuba I feel needs some explaining because surely he can't just be dressed as sexy Jesus mixed with Charlize Theron from Snow White & The Huntsman. It's a well made garment and he's smizing so very hard, but I surely do not understand.

It's festival day in #DnD! Surely nothing at all can go wrong!

There's already a faceoff between the Three Kobolds In A Trenchcoat and now Three Goblins In A Trenchcoat (which is just Snick Snack and Snarl being territorial).

"This town ain't big enough for the six of us. I mean, two of us."

Two D&D minis, each of which is three small creatures in a trenchcoat

i still make old school bots and generators without "ai" tools but i have to constantly explain that is what i am doing and there is dramatically less interest in them because "ai" has totally spoiled people's appetite for fun procgen art.

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

I’m cleaning a closet and I’m in the “how did all this stuff ever fit in there why did I decide to do this I’ve made a terrible mistake” phase

A closet with shelves on one side. The shelves are pretty full but there is some space here and there

A room full of junk piled up on every surface and more junk in several boxes on the floor. All the junk came out of my closet.

If it has egg and/or smoked/cured meat/fish with or without cheese, it is a breakfast sandwich. UNLESS it also has any of: lettuce, alfalfa sprouts, cucumber, pickles, etc. These elements turn it into a regular sandwich.
