Somewhere there is a shrine world where Dark Eldar and Eldar meet up and act like it’s Space Vienna

It’s run by Jokero and populated by humans who just want the imperium not to notice them
the one thing missing from Warhammer 40K is a really good excuse to have ridiculous factions interact socially, especially in the tabletop gaming. A big advantage of the old Rogue Trader implied setting was that it was somewhere space marines and orks clearly sometimes got drinks together.

Christmas can be a stressful time of the year for many. So please remember (if you have to) to step away from your family and spend more time doomscrolling on your phone.

my thing is even I didn't have a fiery personal grudge against Twitter, I would not use it for the same reason I don't use Facebook - it's a miserable user experience. It's nothing but ads and ragebait and ai slop. It doesn't have to be a moral stance, it's just a shit product

Russian milbloggers rage after Ukraine showed agents infiltrating Lipetsk-2 airbase, sitting in Su-27/Su-30 cockpits, setting them ablaze, and escaping untouched. They blame poor security, saying airbase staff were reassigned to infantry. “A slap in the face to Gen. Afzalov,” one wrote.

Parisot (the Director) tells a story about how Tim Allen just started crying after a scene one day

"I don't like these feelings i'm having." Says Tim. "I'm going back to my trailor" and walks off.

There's silence for a second.

"Oh my god." Says Rickman. "I think Tim just experienced acting."
Galaxy Quest - a perfect movie, just a wonderful love letter to actors, sci-fi, Star Trek in particular, and to fandom - really deserves a proper physical release with decent extras. Think Weaver's right that releasing a R-rated cut would be fun, too.
Sigourney Weaver Says She Wishes DreamWorks Released A Director’s Cut Of ‘Galaxy Quest,’ Reminisces On Sequel That Never Came To Pass
Sigourney Weaver reflected on cult classic Galaxy Quest and how she wishes the sci-fi satire had released an R-rated director's cut.

Alan Rickman getting into character to play an actor that hates Tim Allen by being an actor who hates Tim Allen should be a milestone in the annals of method acting.

I’m reminded of watching two old ladies ask a teenage goth for directions and she politely told them and when she was out of earshot one lady said “You know where you are with a goth”

IT'S CARS

THE ANSWER IS, CARS
“Americans are increasingly hungry for Italian piazzas, Spanish plazas, French places, & similar squares around the globe. But the joy of experiencing life in these public squares leaves some travelers disappointed when they return to the States.”

Don’t let ANYONE tell you it HAS to be that way.
