This. Also the idea that you would worship only a single god at a time. Sure, there were mystery cults and the like but the average person paid homage to all of the gods in their turn, as they needed to.
My mum always wished she had blades on her wheels like Boudica’s chariot so that she cut down anyone that wouldn’t get out of her way…
I think this is probably most of it. My two passed through watching his content and now, in their mid teens are out the other side of it.
Nothing looses it's cool quicker than something you were into at 8 years old.
David Cameron got that pig's head pregnant and thats where wes streeting came from
It's crazy how we had to be told the horrors of smoking because aesthetically smoking a cigarette looks cool as hell. But now MFs look like dorks sucking on apple remotes and everyone is like, "Eh, let them die of whatever"
If i remmember rightly, in the final part of 'House of Cards,' 'The Final Cut' Francis Urquhart is finally brought low by the civil service.
I can't imagine why I am reminded of that in this moment.
Oh! I have a Bubblegum Crisis Sequel that has been rolling around in my head for years at this point.
More and more I am seeing "I would never use it for anything creative but I generative AI seems fine for coding" and I wonder if people realize that coding is also a creative field and the generated code is also coming from scraped and plagiarized human code, please don't give coding a special pass
And they say that Anime was a mistatke. That is some Demon Slayer right there if I've ever seen it.
I hope this is about Queen Marika's brood fighting over the shards of the elden ring like the super powered theatre kids they are.
I feel like centering it on the Tarnished wandering around the Lands between would be the most boring option.

I had this experience with the first Horizon, some-one was up a tree or something with robot dinosaurs prowling around at the botom, and they would not shut up about it.
I really didn't need some-one shouting for help while I was picking them off... Was I not good enough for them?
Somehow I missed that Dichen Lachman was being cast as Impa in the Legend of Zelda movie?
That is amazing casting.
A Meme image template that says: My Storm Trooper Told me rebels keep stealing his TIE Fighters So I asked how many TIE Fighters he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a new TIE Fighter afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding TIE fighters to Rebels and then his Emperor started crying.
Lou Zocchi, the inventor of the 100 sided dice, and one of the earlest distributors of hobby dice has died today, aged 91.
He was one of the industry greats, and the hobby games scene wouldn't be the same without him.
I'd like to write about non traditional Superheroes, Either A former super working in an old people's home when the residents start developing powers or about a group of Superpowered first responders focused on rescue and medical aid.
But I'm not sure there is a market for it in prose.
This is Achrioptera manga, a giant phasmid or stick insect native to Madagascar.
The specific epithet, "manga" means blue in Malagasy & it's not hard to see why. Only males are blue.
The tiny back wings ("alae") are an example of brachyptery: they're useless for flight, but have other functions.
It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly
Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way
These five words make women want you... to make a podcast.
A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.
In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."
Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!
There is only one person who can get Bluesky working again.
Well, that is just too close to home.
The thing with #notallmen is that if some-one is saying something that you know doesn't apply to you, you don't have to feel threatenened by it.
The louder you protest, the quicker people will back away, and I don't blame them.
Same goes for if you’re on @draft2digital.bsky.social just for their formatting tools. You can continue using those free of charge.
Basically unless you press “publish” on at least 1 title, you’re fine, which is a relief bc they’re one of the more accessible options for formatting around

D2D is showing their entire ass. Instead of increasing fees by a percentage across the board (thus also taking from the folks who can MOST afford it), they're instead literally imposing an "underachieving" tax. They're literally PUNISHING the folks who can least afford it.

Oh FFS. Seems like price gouging plain and simple.
Another glance at the clock on screen. He was trying not to notice it. The alert was still sitting in the corner of the screen — the shuttle had landed. Yet,no First Officer. He could ask the Rec. But he wouldn’t. Damn machine knew too much. He drummed his fingers on the armrest, waiting for the next word to arrive...and broke his own flow. Now he was watching time instead of the page. A breath out and a flicker of an idea. He raised a finger… A touch on his shoulder and “Hey Cap.” He almost left the chair as he jumped! His heart thundered; felt heat prickle in his face, while fingers tips whitened from squeezing the pad. He spun around in the chair; “Christ alive Browne! You trying for a promotion or what?” Her smirk would have been infuriating — if it hadn’t come attached to such a bedraggled face. She looked in a sorry state indeed. Blonde hair darkened by rain, hanging in wet, greasy strands down her pale face, her non-regulation outfit of shirt and jeans were soaked through and clinging to her small frame. He shivered slightly in sympathy with how cold she looked
Hey all. Hope you all are having a magnificent day.
