I cohost a podcast about niche, unexplored movies. We’ll never become popular because audiences engage more with what they are already familiar with/have an opinion on. People tend to argue a consensus, so discourse will keep rehashing the same things, since this casts the widest net
Not gonna be a normal worldbuilder / writer / GM question today, this one's for anyone in the TTRPG space;

What piece of TTRPG discourse are you sick and fucking tired of people using as engagement bait on social media?

If you can't tell by how I phrased that- I'm sick of most of it.

I had forgotten about this bit until a listener brought it to our attention: “THAT’S how you host a quinceañera.”

Separating TCM from the library acquired to program it (and other Turner nets) is worrisome, because TCM itself owns no films.

A creative/licensing relationship may remain w/ Warner Bros., as was the plan when the WBD split was announced, but even that won't provide a longterm path forward. #WBD
I just heard from someone at Netflix. TCM is apparently going with the other linear networks to Discovery Global.

Here is the official comment on what WBD assets will be acquired by Netflix:

"We are acquiring the film and television studios, HBO and HBO Max."

You know the movie is going to be good when the opening titles specifically credit at least one kickboxing champion

Today I am thankful for the coldest joke to ever appear on King of the Hill
Just want to share this perfect joke from King of the Hill.

A Gen Z-led advocacy group announced a boycott campaign targeting major corporations “that enable, profit from, or directly collaborate with ICE.” Beyond the Ballot launched “Not With My Dollars: ICE Out of My Wallet” just days before Black Friday kicks off.

The Not With My Dollars campaign takes aim at Amazon, Whole Foods, Dell, Microsoft, Home Depot, Spotify, and Target.

Recording the next episode for @haveyouseen.us and feeling I was able to unburden myself of something terrible I have been watching regularly for years.

I was looking for issue 18 of White Dwarf for a #TravellerRPG article so I did a google image search for “white dwarf 18” and, well, the results were not what I expected.
That one’s on me.

And the movies are too "good." Cable used to be weird also-ran movies that got cult popular through repetition. Seeing PCU every week on Comedy Central. That sort of thing
FX seems to be the worst about this now, they are constantly airing overlong marvel movies that they don't edit at all and do 5 minutes of ads every 10 minutes. I miss being able to passively catch a movie on cable.

We're primarying John Fetterman.

Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians.

We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.

*correction* we referred to SPEED BUGGY and his pals as a polycule, when the correct term is a motorpule

In my insistence in creating a morally-grey noir, I didn’t realize what my #TravellerRPG players wanted was a “cozy” adventure. Given everything, their escapist fantasy is to live in fabulous places where they aren’t threatened; to own nice things; to have patrons who aren’t black holes of morality
