Jia’s to-do list: Find the wizard’s killer. Save an innocent barbarian (who’s still kind of a jerk). Get her aunt the crime boss off her back. Find the wizard’s missing roommate -- alive. Maybe make some time with the barbarian’s cute partner. And oh yeah, don’t die... #Bluepit #fa #sns #A

Apparently it was kidney stones. Which, not fun, but thankfully much less worse than we were thinking! And she's OK now!

For an old job I had to sit in on monthly meetings of an estate and tax planning committee. The degree to which it is conventional wisdom among that crowd that anyone who pays what they actually owe in taxes is a sap repulses and horrifies me.

But putting in any actual effort to pay less tax seems unsporting or something. Like it's fine to take advantage of accidental good fortune, but to do *admin* for it... ew.

It’s the same bullshit the olds have been slinging since teenagers were invented.

"Haidt’s thesis is broader than just 'new thing bad.' In The Anxious Generation and his public commentary you find a dismissal of young people as a thinking, feeling group: they are anxious because of phones, they empathize with Gaza because of phones."

now is not the time to ban phones

Jack Kirby’s New Gods is a vital text for our current cultural and political moment.

I honestly thought I’d never pray again after last year’s election, but here we are.

So, no discussion of the game's themes of colonialism and exploitation?

I mean, at this point it's not shocking, but.

It annoys me that every time Spider-Man works with the Avengers, his IQ drops like 50 points.

Uncanny X-Men just makes me happy.

One World Under Doom has been a classic character study and quietly lit.

Fantastic Four continues to be a delight.
