No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.

When I found out cats don't willingly wear those cowboy hats, like they would never choose fashion like that, I knew some part of the world was irreparably broken.

Anyway, listen to our #WorldBuilding #Podcast.

It's called #MythtakesHappen and it is stored in the balls.

I remembered I have free will and can draw whatever I want.
Dr Orpheus is my favourite Venture Bros character.

Fan Art of Dr Orpheus from Venture Brothers. A greying middle aged man, in a smoking jacket and a ridiculous cloak on top. He appears to be in the middle of explaining something over dramatically (and is probably being ignored)

This is how the average Warhammer Fantasy fan views the End Times.

Now say "Thank you, Mannfred" for Age of Sigmar.

Mannfred von Carstein, the best vampire, stands in an ambiguous void and is handed a gun by the true architect of the Old World's destruction (The scheming contractually obligated Black Library Author, and not the multi million dollar plastic dealer who deemed it unprofitable and pulled the plug.) He is encouraged to "Go, do a crime," By that very same author.

AND BOY, DID HE EVER.
Mannfred von Carstein, The Greatest of All Time.

Ultimately, as a society, I feel like if Americans wanted to stop mass shootings, they would. But they are a broken, disunited culture that fetishises individualism to the point that it is impossible to stand together.

How do you mend something like that?

Fucking egregious that a major city train line in fucking Melbourne can be indefinitely shut down because there's a trespasser ten stations back. We're waiting for a half hour so far.

Do you guys feel this is insane? A developed city. We pay so much for public transport, too.
