TFW everyone is like “No offense, Jack, but I don’t know if we really need a bard in this campaign” and then two battles in, everyone is relying on Bardic Inspiration for every saving throw.
Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.

I only really know James Van Der Beke through cultural osmosis and as the self-absorbed drug dealer (and brother to Patrick Bateman) who watches Fred Savage shoot up and yell about his dick.
But he’s phenomenal in it.

Listening to a business woman describing how cool Austin is while her sister is trying to break in to describe the symptoms of a kid’s illness is making me feel all the things and taking all my “don’t nose in muscles.”
If your niece has a 104 fever, go to the ER.

The airport is already a cacophony of people’s phones and toddlers screaming and announcements of flights.
Top volume “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” by Deep Blue Something is a step too far, AUS.
(I do think it’s funny that I had to look up the band name because I was like “it was something blue.”

Age verification? I saved up for 6 months to put a Fatter Agnes into my Rock Lobster for the W4r3z when I was a 2600 Mag wannabe.

This is the point where I shake my copy of Frederik Pohl’s Midas World at everyone like a street preacher.
(In this case, the “Lord of the Skies” but it really hits best if you read all of the short stories in it.)

Turning Point USA is plotting its own half-time broadcast in defiance of Bad Bunny – but one of TV’s Blackest shows already perfected the alt-cast in 1992

Time and time again, weird right-wing preppers think that WTSHTF the only way to survive is going to be stealing people's supplies with guns and in actual scenarios where things go wrong, for the most part people band together to help one another. Only weirdos want to live isolated with MREs.

And I was upset that there were humans there. There's allowed to be only one human* in any given Muppet scenario (and I am totally good with Maya Rudolph being that one human).
*Doc Hopper and the human Scooter guy are an acceptible exception because they're both so over the top.

Or I could just hit “start new game” and spend another 120 hours casting Speak with Animals on myself so I can chat with every cat, rat, dog and owlbear while wandering in the woods.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is set for its own TV series on HBO!
It will be a continuation of the story from the Baldur's Gate 3 game and will be helmed by The Last of Us co-creator Craig Mazin. https://bit.ly/4r2FWxm

This is only relevant to ad people, but you learned really quickly that you make sure Hal Riney had multiple handlers at every ad networking event, especially the student portfolio nights.
I heard multiple "funny" stories about how "some hot young thing would show up at a convention, and we'd have to send someone to make sure she was never alone in an elevator with Asimov."
