Caleb: I shove my new books down my pants near my dick where Jester can’t get them!
Jester: “I’m not afraid of dicks.”
Marisha: She’s not your sister anymore.
There really was something so endearing about them being New Characters for the first time.

I’ve sworn off ever giving Wizards money and even I found that video profoundly delightful! From a purely technical standpoint the puppetry was outstanding! These people spend their weekends pretending to be dimension-hopping wizards, how are they this devoid of whimsy???

Nothing like the jury selection process to boost your perception of your own intelligence and political awareness.

five years ago the president of the united states incited an insurrection in order to try to retain power and it is a comprehensive failure at every level - media, law enforcement, courts, politicians and most of all the voters - that he has returned to power and threatens the stability of the world

I hate it when I uncover an ancient artifact that grants me extraordinary powers only to discover that I am now a pawn in an eternal cosmic battle between the forces of light and darkness

If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money. Famously, we know that's people working in child care.

the default, cringe pose of "I must support Tough Military Action because I am Tough" is both morally wrong and bad politics

I think official D&D charts show gnomes being taller than halflings and I’m glad we can all agree that they are wrong and that’s bullshit.

Watching a little bit of episode 3 before bed, it really is fun seeing them all grapple with low-level combat in a dedicated campaign for the first time. We missed to much by Vox Machina starting mid-arc, and starter 5e must be weird compared to 4 and Pathfinder.

That was cheesy and ridiculous as hell and I enjoyed every minute. Really solid special effects for early 80s (and how silly they were).

They're murderers. No need to pussyfoot around here any more. They're going to murder thousands of Americans, including babies, the elderly, and the immunocompromised.
Are you fucking kidding me.
In 2026, I will not be suffering a SINGLE FOOL who tries to say this administration’s attack on science and public health has some good will under the hood.
This is directly meant to dismantle vaccination as an intervention.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), run by Oz and his boss, RFK Jr., will no longer require physicians to report vaccination rates.
Instead, they plan to start having doctors report if they’ve discussed “alternative” vaccine schedules.
