@bloodtide may need a new hobby. Might I suggest fashioning a cross out of two-by-fours and nailing himself to it?

Danny's a character created by Grant Morrison for his (amazing) run on Doom Patrol. His name is a pun on Irish singer/drag performer Danny La Rue, OBE.

Thoughts: Precocious Leia is almost as adorable as Baby Yoda. She does get better lines, though. Ewan’s acting here might redeem the prequels. There’s still good in them, I can feel it. I love the restraint being shown. No saber duel yet.

Apropos of nothing, you think Wes will ever direct a science fiction film? I read his next is called “Asteroid City”, but I feel like he might be toying with me.

Originals or Bowie covers? Also, favorite new character: Hemmer.

It’s like reading the business world equivalent of a Rolemaster critical fumble chart.

Last week was Space Contagion and this week is "Balance of Terror" mixed with the nebula battle from Wrath of Khan - with a big helping of character development for Khan's descendent. I applaud this show's commitment to obliterating the line between fan-service and art. This is all very well...

How about 20? Or 10.

You're right, of course. I was trying a little too hard to be clever and also to give props to a man who writes sentences like no other. The other members of that panel had every right to have their own reactions. As did everyone in the audience, and everyone else informed of the incident, for...

Samuel R. Delany's should be the last word on this. Because there's no one better with words in all of science fiction & fantasy than Chip (plus he has relevant lived experience and all...).

Well that looks delightful.

Thanks to you, I’m now going to refer to D.C. as The Lament Configuration.

Their attempts at marketing are... interesting. Like the center of a Venn diagram whose circles are 'press release' and 'evidence used in the prosecution of the perpetrator of a mass casualty incident'.

In New Jersey that's proudly advertising your desire to be found floating in the Hudson River.

It’s fine for food and carpets. I’d should have specified it’s… ahem... problematic when used to describe people. I gotta admit, though, whenever I see something like ‘oriental sauce’ on a menu, I takes a fair amount of willpower not to ask the server questions like “is it sauce for orientals...

I'd say it's like the word 'oriental'. Out-of-date, mildly-to-moderately offensive, but not really a slur unless deliberately used as invective.

For god's sake that word's part of the NAACP's name. It's in the title of Ntozake Shange's most famous play. It's anachronistic and no longer a preferred term, but unless it was used in the context of more racist speech, this seems like the kind of mishandled overreaction that can do real harm...

My current campaign setting is a 4000 X 450 mile arc of unbreakable magic material with about 3 miles of biosphere on top. It floats in a inky void along with a sun and smeary stars that look more like comets. The whole thing is a construct about 500 years old (so the legends go). It's inhabited...

Not all of DC. Just the Pentagon.

Is throwing them into an active volcano too off-brand for the Mythos? Maybe sinking them into the ruins of Atlantis (which, of course, would be painted with a big Elder Sign).
