I used to do Renaissance Faires.

“Wild Mountain Thyme” was the song the entire cast sang together at the end of each day, my first year.

It hits me like a truck every time.

All 13 of Erebus’s Black Crusades aren’t better. >…>

The Horus Heresy. When you see what the Emperor’s vision actually was, and really get to compare it to the galaxy they got, it’s just… so much worse. And the galaxy is pretty goddamn bad to begin with. But you know there’s a special place at the very bottom of hell for Erebus.

Magnus did nothing wrong and Russ has fleas.

I’m shocked he got any consequences at all. His magic costume must’ve not been enough to grant immunity for once.

I barely remember that show. Was that his character’s name?

I’ve always thought the name Buchanan sounded… Not cool per se but… Atmospheric? Like it could only belong to one of those old-money families up to their eyeballs in secret societies and mystery.

In an at-will state, which I think is most or all of them.

Right-to-work is different; it means you can’t be required to join a union in order to take a job.

Nah.

I legit loved him in Barbie. Not even kidding. Like, the guy has made an entire career out of playing the forgettable Everyman, and he just lampshaded the fuck out of it. Low key hilarious.

Pharma Bro. Martin something? Even if I didn’t know he was a dogshit human being, he has a punchable face.

If she hates it then maybe stop?

My wife and I do this, mostly because we’re both often doing stuff in the house, but also want to send each other cat pictures, which don’t demand an immediate response.

Kangaroos don’t but platypus do.

That episode hits so hard if you think of the idea that Picard sacrificed basically everything for his career. He never married, never had a family or settled down on some backwater planet.

And then for a lifetime - in 27 minutes - he did. He got to have the life he never got to have.

It just. My soul hurts for him. I still don’t know if it’s sad or beautiful or both but that episode tears my heart out every time.

Yes.

Like the guys who literally get away with murder on film need an excuse.

No no you’re thinking of Pachelbel.

I often had to pause during episodes of Violet Evergarden. My wife always knew when I was watching it because I would be a complete mess every single episode. I finished the show but some episodes I could not take in one go.

To me I think it has to do with propaganda being dishonest about being propaganda. Regardless of whether or not the content is disingenuous, propaganda often is presented as not propaganda, and that sets people up to have a bad impression right from the get-go.

I have this too. The sound of chewing is like nails on a chalkboard all through my bones. It’s awful.
