I've always thought that the rainbow connection and the black parade mash up really well. For the perfect version you'd need to get them both sung in Kermit voice though. Plus the mash up could be called the Rainbow Parade.

fascinating thread

In recent cases, it's not that AI somehow "escaped containment" or "went rogue." That's anthropomorphizing at best. It's more like if a Boston Dynamics robot dog nudged open an already open door and walked in.

I feel like all the criticisms that were sometimes and occasionally unfairly levelled at Southgate's England were true of that performance after the goal. Hated that game plan and those substitutions in that situation. A real shame after good choices almost every single other time in this tournament

These make me laugh 100% of the time

The falling angel meets the rising ape is one of those phrases that rattles around my head without warning periodically. And obviously this whole passage is incredible.

Attack of Opportunity is the nerd version of the Offside Rule. #ttrpg

Jumanji (1995) is not technically a Jumanji. Jumanji (1995) investigates the aftermath of a Jumanji thirty years previously and is technically a Hellraiser

Thanks for your help! Here’s what I’ve found: - Girl Underground - This World Keeps Summoning Heroes - Many classes, few systems And: - DIE is not an Isekai - DCCarl is not an Isekai - Any TTRPG could be an Isekai, why bother - All TTRPGs are obviously Isekai already and I am a stultifying buffoon

I do nude modelling. By which I mean, I do not pose naked, but I project what, statistically, would happen if I did

Kittens!

We put the kittens on cushions on our laps in an attempt to complete our board game and let them stay asleep. They rewarded us with the cutest beans.

It's so hard not to post a million pictures of the boys.

Did I mention how small they are. My incredible wife smartly took some pics with a classic 'banana for scale'.

Very excited to announce the addition of two new members to the Monroe family. Meet Edgar (white) and Sabin (orange). Please note they are extremely small.

I like how you can use emojis to zoom in on a pig 🐖 🐷 🐽

I don't consider myself much of a gamer. I definitely have a couple of types I love when it comes to games. These are my most played games on steam. Can anyone tell me why one of them is the odd one out?

Your brain works fine when you're under 25 (no matter how 'inconvenient' this fact may be) theneuroscienceofeve... The myth that 'if you're under 25, you're not mature enough to decide anything' refuses to die. But it absolutely should #Brains #Development #Maturity

Your brain works fine when you're under 25 (no matter how 'inconvenient' this fact may be)

The claim that, if you're under 25, your brain isn't fully developed, so you can't be trusted to make mature decisions, or held responsible for actions, is very common. But also very wrong.

Can't currently purchase gems from the @mtgarena.com store. Submitted a support ticket and waited 3 days for a response that is clearly written by an LLM. It advised me to use a different browser or clear my cache/cookies. Which since I'm using Arena and not a browser was pretty unhelpful.

The even more unbelievable crime fact (which I learned relatively recently) is that burglary has fallen by more than 90% since the 1990s. Did anyone notice? Nope. Does anyone believe it? Nope. But is is true? It is!

Useful reminder from Peter Kellner on the problems we refuse to acknowledge are getting better, and the politics of hopelessness that this breeds open.substack.com/pub/kellnerp...

I don't like that I am 'hurt my back by doing the washing up' years old.

This is like my biggest nerd complaint in recent iterations of franchises I love. It was the thing I disliked most about the SW sequel trilogy, and it annoys me in SNW (which is otherwise great). Disco at least technobabbled around it.

Travel times are important! They ground the universe, they make space feel like a place and not a soundstage

AI (and, true story, trained pigeons) can spot tumours 99% as effectively as humans. But you don't get humans who can spot that 1% without them spending a lot of time finding the other 99%.

as I have pointed out before, this phenomenon is well-understood! heavy automation in commercial aircraft cockpits reduces pilot workload (and eliminated the navigator position) but then it got to the point where newer pilots were not confident hand flying, or in handling anomalous situations

Y'all, I really enjoy the Maradaine books. The world is rich and we all know I love a wide cast of well-developed characters. You should check out the entire thread, but you should also know Satrine is my favorite.

Marshall Ryan Maresca@mrmaresca.com · last yr.

A few months after THORN, I released A MURDER OF MAGES, the first of the Maradaine Constabulary books. Different cast, same city! Inspectors Satrine Rainey—a former spy—and Minox Welling—an untrained mage—are two detectives protecting Maradaine from crime, both magical and mundane. amzn.to/3JfuzRs

No word of a lie, this is one of the greatest threads I’ve read anywhere.

One of the best things about being in an international server is that if I mention that I live in Bear Country (CO), the Australians all howl about how we need to shut up about Aussie wildlife, because THEIR large carnivores mostly stay in the water, NOT INVITE THEMSELVES INTO THE KITCHEN. (🧵1/?)

Haven't managed a cinema trip in a while, so treating myself to a double bill today. Fantastic 4 and then Superman back-to-back. It's no Barbenheimer, but I'm excited nonetheless.

Have joined a new Pathfinder game recently. I cannot resist the allure of a Halfling with draconic heritage. There's just something about the combination that is catnip to me. Making this one very different though.

I don't play Dead by Daylight, but I sometimes watch @probablyautumn.bsky.social play. I really think they should add Mr Blobby as a killer. Mr Blobby is at least as terrifying as any of the horror movie characters currently in the game.

My other contributions to non-canon #RustyQuillGaming I made back during the final season, long before the show finished. Firstly a fic I wrote archiveofourown.org/works/22499563 and a playlist I made open.spotify.com/playlist/79y... which I ended up adding a few songs to just recently.

Ten years ago the first episode of a podcast called #RustyQuillGaming aired. I cannot quite express what the show meant to me, the ways it changed my life and the relationships it brought me (one in particular). I love it and I miss it and I will always be grateful for it (despite my regrets).

Ten years ago Rusty Quill Gaming released its first ever episode! And ten years on we still love it! In celebration, a very talented bunch of people came together to offer a tribute for a show we still hold close to our hearts. Please enjoy @rustyquill.com
