Mostly a pile of hobbies and neurodivergence.

Hey, don't get me wrong here. I like the Journals that GW is doing compared to eight million hardbounds. They're a comparably nice price point, and they're not eating up my shelf space. Just have the creeping realization this is stuff that used to go in White Dwarf.

Yeah, just the world's richest man promoting a "Replacement Clock" where nations on a map of the Western world start out gleaming white in the 1960s and gradually turn dirty brown. But he's not racist, guys. Honest.

Every form of bigotry has comorbidities, and if you see someone being bigoted about one thing, chances are they're also bigoted about a few others they're not confident enough to voice yet.

There's a Superman villain called Brainiac, and his deal has varied over the decades, but the most common back of the napkin thing is that he's a living computer that travels the universe, absorbs every bit of information from a planet, takes one city to miniaturize, and destroys the rest.

In 1993 a young and talented actor, Jared Leto, is cast in the pilot for "My So-Called Life," opposite Claire Danes. Initially slated to only appear in the pilot, his chemistry with Danes saw him promoted to the main cast. The series ran for one season. Shame he never did anything after.

Jared Leto as Jordan Catalano in "My So-Called Life." A broody hot boy facing domestic abuse and a learning disability.

With all the corners they cut overhauling the Qatari jet because Trump insisted it be done for the 250th, you gotta feel like no dignitary is going to want to set foot in the finished ballroom without a hard hat at minimum.

The takeaway from this war is frankly that the Iranian people do not hate the United States enough. Even if we had only continued sanctions that would have been true, but we are giving them fresh new justified reasons to hate us that will last generations.

Why on Earth would you release an Exodites themed expansion for Kill Team and not put the fun carnivorous plants and Eldar ruins back into production? How fun would that have been to fight through in Kill Team?

So if you were wondering how the SpaceX Starship project is going after thirteen test launches, it still isn't reusable, still can't reach low-earth orbit, and its test payload of those new Starlink satellites (which require Starship to deploy) burned up after 20 minutes (as intended?).
