De'voreaux White, who played Argyle in Die Hard, also played the Young Guitar Thief in The Blues Brothers. (I like to think they are the same character.)
Ok folks: what is your favorite fact that you share with people (maybe a bit too) eagerly?

There's simply no better federal law/courts coverage and analysis out there. Subscribe or turn in your Nina Totenbag. (No shade: I adore her.)
OK, a little pie-in-the-sky goal here: Any chance we could get Law Dork 549 new subscribers — free or paid — before the new year?
That would give Law Dork 80,000 total subscribers!

I have loved and supported public radio for decades, but Cleveland's Ideastream is way on the wrong fucking side of this and should be embarrassed and ashamed.
That’s right, shutting down our most popular college radio station WCSB 89.3 for another Ideastream station by Cleveland State University is embarrassing national news www.spin.com/2025/12/the-...

I've collected some neat #StarWars stuff over the decades, but this is what's left of my original X-Wing (as seen in "Plastic Galaxy") and I think it's still cool.

This is a good one with a lot of fun possibilities.

If you wanted to run say, four different games that weren't Dungeons & Dragons in hopes of showing people the breadth of the TTRPG hobby, what games would you run for them? Assume that they are sort of familiar with 5E.

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.
Should John Carpenter's THE THING be officially classified as a Christmas movie? Let your voice be heard!
