Ronald Reagan was a mass murdering war criminal and a homicidal bigot who race-baited and committed high treason to get elected, and whose wanton destruction of social democratic gains in the US, in service of the super-profits of the rich, directly paved the way for Trump.

btw i did find a (barely) 1st Ed. reference to clerics being able to cast Dimension Door. it's in Greyhawk Adventures and priests of Celestian gain it at 11th level.
ofc this was printed in '88 as, like FR Adventures, it was a 1st > 2nd Ed. transition book, so the Duffers must still face my wrath.

I love the meadow scene from Tokyo Story where the grandma is asking her grandson what he will be when he grows up, and the very young child mostly ignores her and continues to play in the meadow. That scene hits hard.

Avatar doesn’t have a fandom. The movies make 2 billion dollars each and no one cares. You go to any nerd convention and you’ll see a dozen, gender swapped, steam punk Boba Fetts before you see one mutant blue alien or whatever they are. No rizz.
