Old Man

It can always get worse. And will decently get worse to people who say 'It can't get any worse.'

On every day of the year, remember to critically evaluate everything you read on the internet as if it were April Fool's Day.

It does, but Villenueve plans to make a third film based on Dune Messiah.  This second film clearly leaves some openings for that.

For a hobby that's been in media crosshairs since the beginning, I can't really fault whatever entity owns D&D for doing what they have to do to ward off the lawyers.  Filing the serial numbers off demons and devils hardly hurt the game, and dispensing with alignment is actually a huge improvement.  I can see how it might be problematic to be perceived as teaching kids that any given humanoid subspecies is fundamentally evil.  That idea could cause serious trouble if extrapolated to, like, reality.
 
Of course then we may or may not have to wrestle with the morality of killing sapient beings in a game where the entire point is to kill things with swords.  I generally avoid this in my campaign setting by depriving the bad guys of free will and small offspring.  Conversely my most recent 5e GM, with whom I have gamed off and on for thirty years, loves to pose ethical dilemmas to his players.  Sometimes it's interesting, sometimes I just wanna murderhobo.  Mileage varies.

Unnecessarily redundant at that level of wealth.

Agreed.  Although in general the better business model would be to give away the rules for next to nothing and make money on splatbooks and modules.  If you're Hasbro or GW, then you have a gradual power creep with each successive splatbook so people have to keep buying them to remain competitive.  But I'd like to think we wouldn't have to go that far.

I am still impressed that the same actor playing Paul is the same one who recently played Willy Wonka, and both excellently, IMO. I have high hopes for his future as an actor, as the 2 roles mentioned I think couldnt be more far apart in character if you tried.

Thing is, the trial Trump is mouthing off about now is a criminal trial, not civil. Penalties for violating those orders, and/or contempt of court, is not fines. It's jail time.

The first game of the UFL season is playing on Fox right now. I turned on the game, and my little girl went nuts. She loves football.
 
I'm not usually a huge fan of the monocolor look, but Arlington looks pretty good in sky blue. Birmingham would look better if they had gold pants instead of white.
 
We're about 6 minutes into the first quarter with no score yet. Arlington just got a takeaway. The Birmingham receiver bobbled the pass and it fell right into the defensive back's arms.
 
Now they're interviewing Deion Sanders on the sideline. I don't really know why.

And our media.  I'm frustrated with the "both sides are just as bad~!" bullpuckey reporting.

I see you have the same youtube feed as me.

Dune: The Second Half.  Villenueve knows how to shoot a beautiful film, wish I could have seen it in IMAX.  Pretty faithful to the book, though it cuts away some arguably unnecessary parts in a way that probably improves the movie.  Looking forward to the Third Half.

If no one arrives from the future to stop you, then how bad a decision can it really be?

Bad enough that none of them survived it?
