This Space Orc Barbarian has never even heard of the "Paradox of Tolerance." Pick one (or several?) up for yourself at crippledgiraffdecals.bigcartel.com/product/eter...

We absolutely, positively DO NOT need to learn to live with anyone who wants some of us FUCKING ERASED. Rowling & her money is doing real harm to trans men & women across the world and she needs to fuck off into the sun at her earliest opportunity. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Into the sun.

oh no. no. absolutely the fuck not. fuck off.

a bullshit statement from Keira knightley saying she was not aware of a boycott against jk Rowling before taking a job on the new audio series and that she's "sorry" and "we're all going to have to figure out how to live together and we've all got very different opinions"
She can fuck off.

The very tired “how old is too old to trick or treat” discourse has begun, so here we go:

If you are dressed up in a costume, come to my door, ring the bell, and say “Trick or Treat,” you are welcome to my candy. I don’t care if you are 17, I don’t care if you are 30, I don’t care if you are 75.

As a 40something, I no longer care about wearing what is fashionable. I just want to wear what fits my body shape and is comfortable. Unfortunately, if what fits my body shape and is comfortable is not in fashion, it is tremendously difficult to find.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

There’s a freeze warning here for tonight, so I just went out and rescued a massive number of green tomatoes. Now I just have to figure out what to do with them.

I am open to suggestions. Bonus points if it is something that can be canned.

Hey, gang, what are we doing for nonstick pans that aren’t terrible? I have a GreenPan which I hate, so I need an alternative.

I am not a huge fan of Space Marines in general, but those heads are fantastic. So characterful.

That box of Space Marine heads sure did stir up the sludge at the bottom of the Warhammer fandom barrel. The worst bits are out in full force.

Sent my 4 year old niece a care package with some Halloween books and pajamas. And stickers, of course, because that girl loves stickers. She called me while she opened it and was so excited about all of it. Major auntie victory.

Here’s my major complaint: the box containing the Titus model is part of the spine. Permanently attached. Cannot be removed.

With how good the Warhammer Ultimate Guide is, I was really excited for the Character Encyclopedia. Preordered it the second it was announced. It arrived today, and gang, it is disappointing.

This would single-handedly transform the lives of everyone I know in such profound ways it is difficult to fully articulate, but it would also let us actually make more and different and crazy things

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I like eating dry hot cocoa mix out of the bag, with marshmallows, like a horribly Pixie Stick. Gives you the weirdest mouth feel afterwards. Fuck I’ve never admitted this one to anyone
