…itself spawned. Or another example of, as I’ve been saying a lot lately, all of the fantasy genre being an obsessive attempt to rewrite LotR because it doesn’t sit well with our cultural values; we want to romanticize war, we want clear heroes, we want to equate violence with valour, etc.

To Tolkien, Eowyn having to remain a warrior forever would be an awful and nightmarish thing. Far more horrible than she deserved. Not being able to leave the war behind was Frodo’s tragedy. Eowyn was spared that.

This is yet ANOTHER case of LotR sort of being a deconstruction of the genre it…

I have converted the world map war bits in GearHead Caramel to the new unblocking game loop. I originally wrote that section right after getting Covid brain fog, and it shows. There's only one more use of the old blocking menu interface left to change! #GameDev #PyGame

Screenshot from Facebook account of Ora's Bowl in the UK, a Nigerian restaurant which offer a Jollof and Bulgogi Bowl, with the text explaining the K-drama origins of this dish being on offer. Also a picture of the dish from another site. Anyway, going on my very long list of dishes to try!

so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!

Thanks to SRW X, I now know that the Mack Knife from Gundam Reconguista in G has an even more embarrassing crotch rocket than Combattler V's Big Blast. youtu.be/CnycIerG4Hg?...

if you watch gundam but don’t play the card game, i hope you’re delighted to know the garma card has really bad stats and doesn’t do anything until it is destroyed, which is really funny

It's my birthday so by law you have to at least visit the shop and go "wow what a good girl you did this all by yourself" & some local bylaws demand a purchase. I don't make these laws!

Thanks for all your support, younger me would be SO HYPED for today me <3

I think every apartment I've had in Korea has had a closed circuit camera on the front door. So, I'm wondering, what exactly is the purpose of those Internet-connected Ring cameras? Why would you want to give a tech company a camera in your house? Not even snarky, seriously wondering.

I have booked a music rock n roll punk show at Collective Arts in Toronto for Thursday March 5 for my band Anti-Spectacular and I'm looking for other acts to fill out the lineup. Are there any toronto based punk or punkish bands that would be interested? Lemme know in the replies and I'll DM you.

Speaking English just got a lot more verbose for Joseph Hewitt. Joseph Hewitt is not happy about Joseph Hewitt's pronouns going goodbye.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

Catherine O’Hara… she was great. I always liked her attitude. I hadn’t seen this in years and a fan shared it with me. May her memory be a blessing.
