Grogu is a fan of green superheroes.

Any Dark Age of Camelot fans around? I was going through some of my old bins and found some of my really old design notes, including my research and planning for the original world, design work for Shrouded Isles, Catacombs (working name Caverns and Castles), and more.

Cat litter companies/pet stores ageist? It cost less per pound to buy the larger boxes of litter, but who's more likely to have a bunch of cats? Little old ladies with a limited income, but those more cost-efficient boxes are too heavy. So, they have to pay more per pound for something lighter.

This is a post from my local Nextdoor saying that a grocery store is selling meat at half price because no one is buying it (because they are cutting back). And this area tends to be better off (financially) than some areas of the country.

Here's something to make you feel old. Shrek turned 25 today.

In 10th grade & lasting through 12th grade graduation, my high school shifted to what we called the "Blue White" (school colors) schedule. We had seven classes, but they were broken up between alternating days. Our 1st period was every day, 1/ ground.news/article/pedi...

I don't know about "all the time", but The Oregon Trail still comes up occasionally in conversations.

Before Absolute Wonder Woman, I never imagined that someone could recreate Wonder Woman; apply a new world, situation, & rules; & write a book I'd love. Yet here we are. And the care that has gone into the worldbuilding has been top tier. Great work @kellythompson.bsky.social and team.

Bloodbath at Marvel Comics today. Disney is axing over 1000 people. Unclear how many at Marvel. The number being talked about is 8% of the staff was cut, which is jawdropping. CEO scumbag Josh D’Amaro-- salary this year of $45M-- ordered the layoffs. Disney had a gross profit of $35B last year.

Um, the forest service doesn't just take care of forests, they fight wildland fires with the 10,000 fire fighters they had... So, um, that's going to be a problem... #USForestService

So, women who've been indoctrinated into an archaic patriarchal belief system want freethinking women to become good little Stepford wives like they are.

The next generation of phones need to come with automatic AI detection so I can tell right away if the thing I'm looking at is Gen-AI. The current cognitive load of figuring out if what I'm looking at is real or not makes me want to ignore everything.

During dinner this evening, eith no prompting, my 10yo daughter said: Santa's a stalker! He watches you when you sleep? And he knows when you're good or bad? He's a stalker!

My Kickstarter just arrived from one of my favorite authors (Mercedes Lackey & Larry Dixon) about one of my favorite universes.

I've had these since at least high school, possibly earlier. They've been at the bottom of my holiday decorations box. I pulled them out & showed my 10yo daughter. Her: Are those DVDs!? Me: Nope Her: Uuuhhh... floppy disks? Me: Uh uh Her: <thinking hard...> Music tape!? Me: Close enough!

Here's a little something to brighten up whatever you have going on right now.

Never. An actor is a person. Tilly isn't a person. It's an animated character. It isn't a "leading role." It's a character in an animated movie, just like Elsa or Mufasa. The team that created her could get an award for technology or animation, but "Tilly" should never be recognized for an Oscar.
