Y'all remember how the "frog" plague on Egypt was literally just one frog? It was! Look it up! One frog, singular. Rabbis have debated that for millennial, but it the text clearly says "frog", singular. Now, it may have been one really, really big one, or, just maybe it started with just one frog...

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

This is the US under Trump. Can you imagine if they'd found someone with genuine charisma?

Did you know that the federal court system is hacked by the Russians? To the point that the courts are afraid to put documents into their own computer systems.

Exclusive: Chief Justice “Stonewalls Congress" on PACER Hack, Senator Says

The Courts sidestep a congressional request for independent review. Post-hack procedures have significantly reduced transparency in the judicial system.

When I started adding packed lunches and stray snacks to the random loot in TTRPGs my players were much more interested in the oatmeal cookies they found in a goblin's pocket than the tarnished silver amulet carved with a sinister prayer to an unknown god the assassin had been wearing.

In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

And in '15 he was in "the best shape of anyone who has ever run for president." When he had COVID the doctors found that he didn't have DNA, he had USA. And Steve Bannon has seen him run a four minute mile.

Dilvish the Damned is almost a deconstruction of that. Dilvish is pretty genre savvy, but he's also required by his (outdated, even the setting) code of honor, to walk into the obvious setup every damn time.
"You do realize that this is a trap."
"Almost certainly, but what can you do?"

Can we at least agree that Shishio, having lost the ability to self-regulate body heat to the point where 15 minutes of physical exertion will kill him due to overheating, soaking in a hot spring is a little bit dumb?
