If there’s one thing you can count on me to do, it’s to remember that grapefruit negates or interacts with all of my meds… after I’ve bought one.

I remember thinking “why would they open Jurassic Park again? All those people died!” Or “why would they have another summer camp at Crystal Lake after Jason killed all those people for seven consecutive movies?” but it’s gotten to the point with things where it’s like yeah they’d do that for money

this is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read from McMegan, I think, which is a remarkable achievement
This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

We're supposed to relax for the holidays, but that would be easier if taking 2-3 days off didn't create this enormous workpile to dig out of each time.

I find it interesting (from a graphic designer and UX perspective) that sellers on DriveThruRPG have reportedly seen their traffic and sales plummet on that platform, apparently correlating with their change to the new website layout.
Is the "outdated" old-looking webpage layout better? Why?

Is all discourse centered around my interests designed to upset me and provoke bad reactions, or am I becoming a grumpy carmudgeon about the things that once brought me joy?

Is it bad that I can't watch an episode of Mad Men without a desperate yearning for bourbon on the rocks?

Here’s some ohnospooky lore: I was once a webcomic artist. When the writer posted our comic on a forum for webcomic creators, they mocked the comic and said I should quit art.
So I did. For 15 years.
Now I’m 42 and bad at the thing I loved. Don’t be like me.

A sign that you've maybe been reading too many fantasy ttrpgs: casually dropping the word "lachrymose" into your how-are-you-all-doing-lately conversation.

That is the sound of a thousand bubbles bursting.
To get people to buy one book, IN ADDITION to what the publisher did:
81 podcast appearances
35 promo videos posted to TikTok/Reels/YT/etc
14 pieces of promo text content (columns, interviews, reddit AMAs)
$30k out of pocket (including a trailer, various giveaways, ad placements).

They called me a joyless grinch simply for pointing out that the myth of “Santa Claus” is merely prosperity gospel propaganda and asking playground kids why their rich friends got more gifts, anyway here’s the GoFundMe link for my bail money

New old man grumble, but I can’t be the only one who feels this way:
Places need to decide if they’re online or analog.
A store offers on-site digital coupons, but no internet to access them.
A park says “no phones,” but then displays QR codes to scan.
My dudes. Pick a lane.

I want bad actors in our politics to pay for that, and we ought to know which of our leaders is doing heinous stuff.
Yet at this point, will releasing the Epstein files actually change anything? Like, what is in there that we don't already know? That the zealots won't just shrug away and excuse?

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

I’m sorry, WHAT?
Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...
