I have been thinking about it and Sylvester McCoy reappearing as the Seventh Doctor brings me joy.

It's #FiveEvil Friday! This was one of the first things we released for FiveEvil: Fiendish 5E Horror. It shows that when we reworked 5E's rules, we went for the throat. It's not D&D adventure, it's FiveEvil horror. It's still 5E. If you've played D&D, you'll learn this in no time. But it's scarier.

Keep the icon on my ipad to remember better days (Just haven’t got around to deleting zoom)

Piece of iPad home Screen showing the Twitter icon as it used to be. Also Zoom. And Discord and Dropbo and Magnifier and “tips” whatever that is, i have never tapped it and refuse to start now

I have been taking bitter pleasure from all the laugh react guys losing their minds under every film media story about The Odyssey. Beyond delighted that i just saw dozens of chuds desperately posting variations of this as if it’s an own. Lol

@PaulReiser you might enjoy this deep dive into how your character took his coffee in Aliens. (My fave scene in the film, so many performance details!)

Surely the most poorly conceived ad I’ve been served this year. “AI is going to read all your chats and you will be forced to suffer” is the message, the product is instantly forgotten. Feels like you need a human brain to fuck up this badly. (This was served on the BetterOffline subreddit, lol)

An advertisement reading “Every AI chatbot can read your conversations. We made sure ours can’t.”
With a flowchart: Do you use AI? Yes: use one that can’t read your chats
No: you probably will soon

It was inevitable

Big dog outside again muddy again because he did the same thing again

Little dog needs a pic too i guess

Little black and white dog, curled up on a blanket on a couch, very dry and not even a tiny bit muddy

Morgan Davie@fromthemorgue· Jul 6

Getting home on a wet day to find the big dog has been cheerfully Digging Under The Fence. (We are wise to his tricks and there are pavers under there so he can’t actually escape. But he sure can Dig.)

Wet muddy dog waits patiently to be let inside, unaware that the dreaded bucket wash is in his immediate future

it was @mytholder.bsky.social who made it Giraffe Noir

"Giraffe Noir: A Pickle Dumb Harry Story."

Reply by Morgan Davie
"It was raining in Zoo City. A hard rain, hard enough to wash a giraffe's hopes and dreams through the sewer grate along with the spent end of his cigarette. Pickle Dumb Harry let the rain fall on his stubby giraffe horns, and wondered how hard it had to get to wash away a lifetime of regrets.
The limo slowed down alongside him, and the window rolled down. "I'm looking for a private dick who ain't afraid to stick his neck out," said the lady gorilla inside.
"Then you're talking to the wrong animal," Pickle Dumb Harry said. But he knew as he said it that she would talk him 'round. There was a reason they didn't call him Pickle Smart Harry."

Wemby's brain at 2am for the entire rest of his life:

View of the pass from NBA finals game 2 where Wemby passed the ball to his teammate's back and as a result they lost the game and all the momentum went out of the series and they lost and Knicks won and Wemby will never forget it.

Unexpected cameo appearance in the last issue i read, #88 June 1963… why it’s only the King of comics, Jack Kirby himself!

Two page spread of Patsy and Hedy learning that Jack Kirby is coming to town

Nancy meets a nice young man with a distinctive quiff

Nancy has Jack Kirby on his arm! Patsy and Hedy are glum

Enjoying diving into these comics from my aunt, from 1963-64. Never read any Patsy Walker before, and they are neat. Split the difference between Betty & Veronica comedy romance, and classic romance comic angst. And the art is amazing - did Al Hartley really do this whole run??

Three issues of Patsy and Hedy, a 1960s romance/humour comic from Marvel

Glad to see another bunch of time-travelling teenage “nihilists” are about to bumble their way through a potentially lethal life lesson. Kill Your Grandad! It’s on DriveThru as well as itch #TTRPG

Email notification from itch that I sold a copy of Kill Your Grandad

Morgan Davie@fromthemorgue· May 22

Anyone else just get followed by a swarm of bots?

Morgan Davie@fromthemorgue· May 12

Anyone doing video thumbnails like this deserves to be shunned and blacklisted from the industry. (I’ve never heard of this person, presumably they’re chasing those sweet sweet misogyny clicks, but they are far from the only one.)
