@futurebird That they care about #Epstein suggests the deplorables who bumped Trump's primary numbers in 2016 after the pussy grabbing comment are not in fact irredeemable.

@lextenebris Great response!My point was more that Traveler was no less inspired by characters such as vanBuskurk than D&D was by Conan.

@lextenebris What I liked about pre-gurps "labyrinth" was the vibe of universality which eventually evolved into gurps. I agree D&D probably owes more to table to civil war reenactment than Conan. I can see kids who staged a table top Appomattox setting up a table "Battle of the Five Armies" from The Hobbit.Anyway, I never felt limited in any system.

@Nonilex Occupying L.A. was a trial run, we all knew it. Now what?

@Nonilex Occupied L.A. still has 2,000 National Guard troops? We were a test case. But today's "news" is just a smoke screen for #Epstein and #DiaperDon 's betrayal of Ukraine.

@Nonilex He's doing this to distract from #Epstein

@Nonilex They will be sold to the highest bidder, just like the #Epstein girls.

@futurebird Only coincidentally there's someone posting about that as a substitute for kettle bell exercises. Or maybe not a coincidence, part of one of your other threads?Anyway, I saw a toot saying a big mac is up to nine bucks, so two servings of frozen lasagna for nine bucks seems about right.

@futurebird Siddhartha. Pretty much any Nero Wolf. A hatful of Heinlein titles. Zelazny's Amber books and Lord of Light.

@Radgryd @reginasbread @lgbtqia I don't argue with the "born this way" folks. Perhaps some are. Bit the reasoning seems as specious when applied to "queerness" as when applied to substance abuse or left-handedness.With AA it is a historical fact that the "disease model" was cynically pushed as a way to reduce guilt and stigma even though it's proponents knew it was false. I sense "born this way" serves a similar purpose. But must adherents to these beliefs are sincere...and unquestioning.

@movieinsiderz Between the white savior goddess with her magical life giving child, andthe stupidest delivery scene ever filmed, no, the film failed. It felt like Sam Alito's Fantastic Four.

It just hit me: The Mandalorian is Disney's Lone Wolf and Cub.

@faraiwe Yeah, somehow Mando never grabbed me, and it was only in thinking about how Pascal is not to blame for the shitty #FantasticFour script, and how my sweetheart bristled when I suggested Pascal was hired for FF because of his other role as a babysitter, in the middle of such musing I remembered Lone Wolf and Cub.Brains are such silly things.

@faraiwe You clearly have a greater command of the various genres. My experience with Japanese culture is largely framed by reading Shogun im the first few weeks of tenth grade in 1979.
