Perhaps even funnier, this year marks the 25th anniversary of The West Wing. The reason I know that is a new West Wing YouTube celebrating the anniversary just appeared and starting posting videos of the highlights.

If you visit this channel and look at the top video, you find the exact video he plagiarized the speech from. https://youtu.be/sZ_Q-3AhoAs

So this wasn't a speech he likely remembered and plagiarized, this is likely just a helpful YouTube recommendation.

This is the Internet, I don't even have a dog.

Technically I don't know that it's offensive to taste.

And my dog likes it.

But I'm still not going to check.

It's to ensure people remain on the outside and excluded.

If someone's preferred bathroom in the men's room, but they are forbidden from using it, they have a special bathroom to use. However we can't have them privately using a bathroom. We have to put them on display. EVERYONE needs to know they are different. The goal is to exclude, the goal is to make them feel different, the goal is hate. It's disgusting.

As students, hopefully, they just start to use the bathroom normally. If all students use it, then it's not weird. Now that's unfair to push on middle school students. But it's an option.

Only video that's ever made sense to me.

Yeah I'm not sure I see myself running Bastions. Obviously I'll wait to see the actual rules, but in too many campaigns I find the party wandering far far away.

I'd like to run one more city focused, so maybe then, but then again the idea that each PC has their own just seems like A LOT of overhead. Maybe in a more downtime heavy campaign?

Do you feel the same way about Mastadon?

Yes.

I'm not sure that's my reason, but I've never understood Twitter/Mastodon. It's just shouting into a void.

The article mentions that the fine will stand and likely be doubled, but I feel like for arguments that are especially stupid, like this one, it should be doubled again.

There are enough corporate loopholes as it is, I can only imagine the chaos if this were allowed.

You just pick something obvious and over elaborate on it. Big glasses, bright blue hat, etc also kids are mean, so pick a flaw, same idea.

It's exactly what Twitter did too. Start off all open and friendly, here is our simple API, have fun, and people did. Then one day Twitter decided the API was too open and started to restrict it, limit tokens and users, charge out the ass. (And that was all long before Muskrat took over.)

In fact that's true for a lot of tech companies.

One of the things that gives me hope for Lemmy is the speed at which it got great apps using that open API.

You know what's a funny one? Flag pins. Every politician in America, take a look, they will ALL be wearing a little American Flag pin, always.

I have to assume other politicians in other countries don't always wear a pin of their country.

So the 2024 Players Handbook (PHB) is set to release in September. I've already bought and paid for the book. In fact I get early access in early September.

However a bunch of YouTube and other folks got the books much earlier and the embargo for them to talk about it lifted in early August.

So now I have to learn piecemeal how the new rules work. I have to hope whatever YouTube video I watch got the rules right. My only reference is random videos.

Luckily someone did write down a rough outline at https://rpgbot.net/2024-dnd-5e-transition-guide-and-change-log-everything-thats-different-in-the-new-players-handbook/

Anyone else find this to be bullshit? It's like Christmas morning for "influencers" but my gifts arrive in a month.

In short if folks know of a good copy of the 2024 PHB I'd love to read it.

20 minutes of trailers and 10 minutes of AMC puff pieces including the Nicole Kidman OMG Cinema commercials.

Earlier today I went to an AMC IMAX theater to watch Dune Part 2 (spoiler free review, a great film), and instead of the film starting at the scheduled time we have to duck around for 30 min before the film starts (which even then isn't true since we get two 30 second studio logos).

I'm so happy that most theaters I go to are smaller with usually only a preview or two.

But for AMC, fuck you.

 

Teddy gets stuck in an underground survival bunker, and he calls on Bob to find him and get him out.

 

Trailer: https://youtu.be/g0f1o-KGWPM

Premiere: Tuesday, Jan. 9 at 9pm Eastern, simultaneously on Disney+ and Hulu.

The latest trailer shows scenes from Daredevil (the Netflix series), and Hawkeye (with some implied spoilers).

The series is rated TV-MA, which is the most "adult" rating of a Marvel series to date, but matches the Netflix Daredevil rating.

This is also the first series to premiere under the "Spotlight" brand.

Echo will be the first series under the Marvel Spotlight banner... Just like comics fans didn’t need to read Avengers or Fantastic Four to enjoy a Ghost Rider Spotlight comic, our audience doesn’t need to have seen other Marvel series to understand what’s happening in Maya’s story.

Technically we're not get ANY MCU films in 2024. With all the talk of "superhero fatigue" I'm curious how this will play out.

Currently Deadpool 3 is the only MCU film scheduled for 2024. Deadpool 1 & 2 are not set in the MCU, we can assume Deadpool 3 will bring Deadpool into the MCU.

Outside of the MCU, Sony will bring us Madam Web, Kraven the Hunter & Venom 3.

Also, Sony will bring us the 3rd installment of the animated Spider-Man Spiderverse films.

For completeness sake, DC only has a Joker sequel scheduled.


I fully expect Deadpool 3 to be delayed (to late 2024).

I think no one will talk about Madam Web.

I think no one will talk about Kraven.

I fully expect Venom 3 to be delayed (to 2025).

I hope Spiderverse isn't delayed any further, but I suspect it will be.

Which is to say, we're getting a year off, how do folks think this will affect "superhero fatigue", or perhaps more importantly do you think it will give films time to actually be good films?
