People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

I had a great time with Steven (PSYCHO GOREMAN) Kostanski's reimagining of DEATHSTALKER, an absurdly awesome practical effects fantasia and excellent starring vehicle for Daniel Bernhardt (seen here with swamp monster friend).

I was a child of the 1980s, but not of HBO or Showtime. That’s probly why I never saw DEATHSTALKER (1983) until last week. Still, I knew the idea of

But the development history of #Barbarians is much longer than that. #msdos is the third platform for which I've released the game. The original version was developed for the once-popular range of pocket computers from #Psion. damian.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/21... #gamedev

Bunch of sad men built the world's most expensive and racist Magic Eight Ball and then tried to convince everyone else that it was absolutely essential that they treat it like their teacher and their lover.

Good conversation enders for Thursday:

When Uncle Blort quote some wacked-out Fox News (or worse, come on Blort) interpretation of some recent event:
“What an interesting thing to say.”

When you espouse your (correct) leftist socialist views and everyone goes apeshit:
“We don’t have to agree.”

Putting in a vote to not share shit I can’t see. I don’t have TikTok, bruh. You want me to see that cool video, but they want me to download the app. Figure your shit out.

If you are thinking, “oh well maybe get TikTok if you want to see it” and buddy TIKTOK IS WHERE YOU SHOULD SHARE THAT.

Question about the dissent by (the far-right) Justice Ziegler: Does this quote actually appear in Moore v. Harper? Did Moore say that state courts' role in congressional redistricting is "exceedingly limited"? I don't think it did! vhdshf2oms2wcnsvk7sdv3so.blob.core.windows.net/thearp-media...

My father’s youngest sister, who was only five years older than me moved in with us in 1980, and she and her friends had “sacred” songs which they’d go dead silent when they came on the radio.

“Walk on the Wild Side” was one of them.
