There's only one appropriate response to necromancers, whether they're using mystical or computational arts.
“If a ghoul robs the grave of my dead grandmother and dares speak to me in mechanical mimicry of her voice, defiling all my dreams of her, I will hunt it in this life and the next until I crush it like the vermin it is and bring its lifeless head to lay at her feet.”

“So… that’ll be a no?”

@lore.house I just saw your update post and I'm so sorry.

I'm also trying my best not to pattern match onto the different issues my wife has been dealing with.

My kids keep begging for an elf to visit our house like they do their friends’ houses but like I’m sorry you will not be pleased when you wake up and the milk has curdled and our cattle die of miasma exposure but that’s what happens when you invite the duine uasal into your home.

Kaitlin and I rode our new bikes yesterday (she's recovering well!). I'm, uh, not in good shape for cardio. Made myself ill on the ride and was pretty exhausted by the time we returned.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

My editorializing: hard mode, psh.

When Gavin Newsom was elected in 2018, he said he would oversee construction of 3.5 million homes by now. Then he stuck his tail between his legs while segregationists and their left-NIMBY interns blocked major reforms until getting serious this year.

This dude has no stones to fight Republicans.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”
