Emperor Palpatine

xkcd.com/3157/

Comic. Scatter chart with Emperor Palpatine character age on Y axis and Ian McDiarmid age during filming on X axis. Plot with descending arrow beginning from Return of the Jedi (emperor age 90, McDiarmid age 40) → Revenge of the Sith, Attack of the Clones, and The Phantom Menace (emperor age 50-70, McDiarmid age 50-60) → The Rise of Skywalker (cloned body, undefined age) with a gradient vertical line (McDiarmid age over 70) → Now (emperor age under 10, McDiarmid age over 80). [caption] To continue the trend, they should make a Star Wars movie where 81-year-old Ian McDiarmid plays the emperor as a toddler.

Me, watching my cat sniff his own poop, 'yeah cat, it sticks because you haven't cover it up yet.'

This cat is like, 11 years old and doesn't know how to cover up his poop. He scratches to move the litter around, but it always misses the poop.

That's a talent.

I'm pretty sure if people stopped defending it, people would also stop bringing it up. TBH, I didn't even know he was running in Maine 'till this post.

But it's become very obvious that the free market won't do shit for the average person and is, in fact, a ouroboros that doesn't realize it's eating itself. So, the American Right is left to just terrorize people for no reason other than racism.

I suspect this is because, despite the fact that's been 80+ years, the American Right's roots are still anti-New Deal. They don't want to the government to do anything. For decades they've said that the free market will given them everything they need and want.

In hindsight it seems so silly to wait for the TV show given it's overall cultural impact.

Did you write the earlier volumes too? I haven't heard of the comics before now, so I'm curious.

I put an average of 10 jokes on every page! Think of how many jokes that is! You will need a special shelf to hold that many jokes, and it will be WORTH IT.

Here's hoping Canada picks Washington and Oregon. Then we can colloquially call ourselves "Baja BC"

On my honeymoon last year, I bought an artsy glass dish, and at the game table I keep my dice in it. There's a fancy TSR d4 for # of color spray targets, a d3 for # of mana storm targets, Imajewels for marking enemies w ongoing effects, and three d20s for attacking multiple targets.

Whatever else you might think about Linus Tech Tips, he makes a good case for living in Canada without setting out to do so.

You ever think about how the color of the liquid they use to demonstrate the effectiveness of pads and tampons is blue and not red?

Do you think people would be grossed out if it was red?

What if it was green?
