Just do what the mobsters do in Donnie Brasco and exchange envelopes full of cash.

The US version is enjoyable enough, but... blander, certainly.

And what is art, if not that?

So, yes. Even if you discount all of Avatar's fans, and only consider its haters, Avatar is a work of art I've never seen it myself and have no desire to, but I respect what they achieved.

And I realized that if it could evoke such strong emotions, it was definitely actually art. It still wasn't something that moved me, personally, but the artist had succeeded in making a statement that energized people and provoked strong reactions.

Anyway, in 1995, an artist reproduced her mugshot photo in the medium of children's hand prints. I thought at the time this was fairly uninteresting, but then the newspaper articles about how OUTRAGED people were, how the artist needed to be arrested for CRIMES.

They're not releasing it because it says "we'd have won if we supported Gazans / trans people / immigrants" and they refuse to hear that.

First time I got COVID in '22 it nerfed my mental arithmetic for months. I entirely lost the ability to add single digit numbers for 3 weeks. I'm *still* far slower than I used to be. Brain fog lingers, and I expect the prevalence of sub-clinical long COVID with CNS involvement is very high.

Day 22: The D20 for the red metal set.

Interestingly, this has a different numbering scheme than their other d20s. Typically, they (like 90% of dice makers) copy Chessex's scheme which has the 20 surrounded by 2, 8 and 14. Not sure why this would be different.

I guess they really want more of those SNL sketches.
