Cast yourself as a villain. (Everyone else was picking cool villains. I would not be a cool villain.)

Please enjoy Charlotte sticking her face directly in the sprinkler then dragging herself back and forth along the brick to dry off.

These are all the same type of guy, basically.

Neelix, a Talaxian from Star Trek: Voyager.

Ten years ago, the BBC had a celebration of TV sitcoms including some revivals and remakes. One of them was a one-off "Are You Being Served?" revival. HBO Harry Potter has the same energy. Like, I wasn't going to watch anyway, but also it looks bad.

This is what my ongoing D&D game is about, mostly.

The album cover for artist Big Bear's 1998 album "Doin Thangs." There is a parental advisory label and a number of bears in robes eating, drinking, and smoking. "Big Bear" is written in orange across the top of the image. "Doin Thangs" is written across the bottom of the image in a gray-blue type outlined with a white glow.

A photo of Bea Arthur has been crudely placed over Big Bear himself, and the phrase "Sylogy Arkuda" appears under Arthur. "Sylogy Arkuda" is written in a typeface from the video game Elden Ring.

Not bad on hard mode either! Now I'm interested in what correlations exist among people who performed well. Obviously, there's self-selection happening in who attempts hard mode. Do folks who can name more colors perform better? Did other folks do better at matching colors in their favorite range?

Genuinely unsettling accuracy. Please find a hobby.

Passing grade! Neat to see the accuracy curve through different folks' results.

Can't stay up for Critical Role. Gotta go to bed so I can get up and eat my oats. I'm an overnight oats guy now. Big into the oats. Things are gonna be different now that I have oats in the fridge overnight. Yeah. Oats. (I'm saving the Cookies & Cream for later. Tomorrow's oats are mocha-flavored.)

I had to go find Roger Ebert's 5-star review for "(500) Days of Summer." "Good for them."

A screenshot from RogerEbert.com featuring part of his review for "500 Days of Summer."

It reads "Note: The movie's poster insists the title is '(500) Days of Summer.' Led by Variety, every single film critic whose review I could find has simply ignored that punctuation. Good for them."

Alas, our on-air CD players are newer than I realized. As far as I can tell we've never thrown anything away so there may be older models back in the engineer's workshop. We still have a working reel-to-reel in our production room.

I want you at home to know my hand is touching your hand for the gathering of the biggest body of people in this country, in this universe, all over the world now, reaching out.

I'm committed to doing what I can to avoid another Republican president (though that's many battles down the road). The first part of my plan is to not have a bozo that looks like Dennis Hopper in the '90s Mario movie as the Dem candidate.

Dennis Hopper as President Koopa in the cinematic masterpiece Super Mario Bros. (1993). One evil, egg-sucking son of a snake.

Spoilers: One of them is noted bigot space pope Kai Winn Adami, and the other is a simple Bajoran farmer who is definitely not Gul Dukat, former authoritarian oppressor of Bajor now on an undercover mission for space demons.

TCG Pocket is fun for me right now because every other match I'm up against a Suicune deck with full art cards and shiny Greninja and such, and I just have this silly yellow bird. This is how Pegasus felt sending people to the Shadow Realm with his toon deck. Children's card games are fun.

A digital trading card featuring a variant of the Pokémon Oricorio, a yellow bird resembling a cheerleader. It is the harbinger of doom.

Post a movie you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score. Super Mario Bros. (1993) I will not be taking any questions at this time. Thank you.

A screenshot of the Rotten Tomatoes page for Super Mario Bros. from 1993 starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo. The Tomatometer score is 28%, and the Popcornmeter score is 30%.

The poster feels no shame.

We're in a convention center (not for a con) playing this weird card game called "You're Getting Old." After 99 cards about avocado toast, TikTok dances, and appropriated zoomer slang, we get this:

Cleaned up my email inbox for the first time in seven years. Everything is marked read now. Less than 550 items in the inbox (most of those Kickstarter updates where I just need to make sure I downloaded any digital goodies.) I'm about to click this button.

Couple years back I ran a D&D game for just two players. Made a robot DMPC to make encounter balance a little easier. His name is Heavy Metal, and he now looks rad.

A large, humanoid robot with a turquoise paint job stands in the middle of an arena. He is dirty and dinged and carries a makeshift hammer with the same color scheme.

You can tell I'm doing game prep because my TTRPG shelves are basically empty, and there's a stack of books by every place I sit in the house plus a few in my work bag. Also the tabs. There's a lot of tabs open. So many tabs. I'm gonna stop Hero Forge procrastinating for a bit and write notes.

Three human-like figures with pointed ears stand in front of a dark backdrop. The figure on the left is purple and holds a goblet, swishing a cape over his shoulder. The central figure is very pale, wearing black armor, and wielding an ax. The figure on the right has a darker complexion and wears a fox mask while contemplating a skull.

Now look, I don't like Joel Osteen either, but the Catholic Church is not getting off the hook just because Francis slept in a twin bed.

Side-by-side pictures show a simple bedroom in Casa Santa Marta used by Pope Francis compared to a sprawling mansion owned by Joel Osteen.

The text above reads: Pope Francis's room where he lived for 12 years, compared to Joel Osteen's mansion.

Let's be real, there's a non-zero chance that Trump thinks he's putting tariffs on these guys.
