Just finished The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter. A tale of exploration of and humanity's reaction to the discovery of parallel earths. I am definitely going to get the rest of the series. I am a long time fan of Terry Pratchett, I wonder how much of this book was Baxter vs Terry.

Fantastic, I will look for it. Have you read "50 beasts to break your heart?" Also short, horror to unsettling stories. It was a fantastic read.

a picture of a monster with the words the hogfather can written below it Alt: Gif Clip from the movie HogFather, adapted from Terry Pratchett's book of the same name. The grim Reaper is costumed as father Christmas, also known as the HogFather in this fantasy setting. A man dressed as an elf scolds Death for preforming a Christmas miracle. "You're not allowed to do that" the elf says. Death replies "The Hog father can"

Nice! My secular solstice holiday favorite. HogFather
Happy Hogswatch.

But how would they sell head phones that cost 4 times as much?

We are ready close to putting a whole segment of delivery and commercial drivers out of work.

Self driving cars and trucks are close. I bet a ground based pizza delivery drone is closer than an air based drone.

Soon automatic trucks will deliver to workerless storefronts.

I have definitely sat down to do my own characters or movie characters.

I think I stole Gods for D&D from @bookreadingguy.bsky.social.
Triple Dwarven God pantheon represented by aspects of the Delver, the Brewer, the warrior. The Delver was about secrets, the dark, obtaining. The Brewer was the afterlife, relaxing, wealth. The warrior was great halls and guild, law.

The damage save failure by degrees of 2nd Ed (it is in first ed too but didn't apply to as many powers) took me for ever to understand. I think a basic "Snare" had 3 different levels of effect you had to remember. Which could be interesting for partial failures but really just annoying.

The character limits here are brutal.

I used to be a fan of Mutants and Masterminds. Played a lot of first ed, and cherry picked a part or two of second Ed when it came out. Never read third or the new 4th.

I think he is more likely to die of natural causes in office than be removed from office.

The Teflon President would skate past the evidence. His supporting news stations would bury it. His supporters would not care/believe. His Republican compatriots in Congress will cover for him. Gerrymandering protects his power base.

I think it was "God loves you, but he needs your money!"-George Carlin

But "buy gold" is a really unique interpretation of scripture.

It has been a long time since I felt the draw of a Gameboy type platform. But just now I feel the need.

All the spilt ink over the New York primary is a bit premature though. Who knows what happens in a three way election between the now independent incumbent mayor, Mamdani and the Republican candidate.

Every time I see a commercial from some democrat looking for office and they only have reactionary (to Trump) positions I am dispirited.

“People like Mamdani are their worst nightmares,” Sanders said of the GOP. “It’s one thing for the Democrats to be strongly against Donald Trump. It is another thing to give working class people something to vote for — a positive agenda.” -from AP article. I crave a positive agenda.

I didn't really expect yesterday's declaration of cease fire to stick, but I never would have expected live tweets of it failing.

The music and production value of those NES games were astounding. I remember DuckTales NES being really hard though.

I was thrown off as some asshole Mario player (the level was the asshole, I don't know about the player) used it for their video clip. It took me a hot second to place it.

Can Gold or Glory tempt Rick Moranas back to the silver screen? No. Only the friendship of Mel Brooks can accomplish that. Rumors have flooded my Internet.

We should tax the pants off of robot workers (or really the owners who profit from robotic labor).

We should also tax anyone profiting from AI at a higher rate. Since they steal from society, they should have to give back to society.
