The key to looking youthful is Swamp Thing semen. Also, it makes you delusional.
“Do you know what it is like to hate?
When it goes deep down inside?”
The press junket for Wicked is just Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo having some sort of weird lesbian para-relationship and exuding creepy emotional support pet energy. (Also, Nosferatu’s full name is Cynthia Chinasaokwu Onyedinmanasu Amarachukwu Owezuke Echimino Erivo. Not germane, but that is a mouthful. Like Ariana Grande.)

Turchallah, the Final Boss of Thanksgiving. He is immune to psionic attack.
I have been really enjoying the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. LitRPG, a character trapped in a video game-esque scenario, which is apparently a whole-ass genre.
(The series is not finished, if you are experiencing GRRM and Patrick Rothfuss fatigue.)

Could somebody hit me up with the link for What Are We Reading?
Thx

Danke.
She’s not bad at all,
OFFS. Raised from birth to be the center of attention, no doubt.
Immune to psionic attack, but not jive.
I made it about 30 seconds in (with the sound off) and my only thought was both of them look like underfed aliens. Yuck.
How can you be sure they aren’t?
Oh, and a much older version of Trapped in an RPG would be Dream Park, and its sequel The Barsoom Project.

ahem
Just joking, I know Drea Park was before D&D cartoon.
There was also this as an early example.

I loved that show.
Sean:
Looks like it’s available on free streaming services and archive.org, but I’ll warn you… it did not hold up.
God, a friend in HS loved Guardians of the Flame so much. I read the first one, not much past that.
It streams live on Amazon Prime. It’s good enough for an occasional nostalgia hit. It’s got Ralph from Happy Days doing voice acting!
Obligatory.
I have been reading all kinds of LitRPG…a guilty pleasure. Look for Jez Cajiao…his books are darker and I think you would enjoy.
I have an irrational hatred for the genre.
I understand a bit…it is more a younger audience genre but it reminds me of the fantasy books I read as a teen.
Dark? About 5 billion humans die in the first 20 pages of Dungeon Crawler Carl. (Yes, I’m just being a dick.)
Did they put all the dead bodies in a food processor and feed it to you? Okay, you stand corrected.
Love,
Bigger Dick of Dead Threads
That woman might pass for a 26 year old medieval peasant.
Me-OW!
Lovely molding.
I just turned 54, and last month I went to my HS reunion. So with that in mind, I can say she looks great for 56, but nobody is going to mistake her for 26.
I would guess 46. More important is does she act her age or pretend she’s into Kpop or Swifty?
That lady is the blueprint for wine mom.
I can accept wine mom.
She is in the wrong quadrant of the Hot/Crazy Matrix. Which makes further consideration pointless.
a funny breakdown on their behavior.
Get the fuck outta here. Anorexia Barbie and whatever that other thing is. It’s like watching snakes fuck.
As someone who has seen snakes fuck on multiple different occasions*, it is nowhere near as weird as whatever is going on between Ariana Latte and the Empress of Abydos…
* – I have some friends who breed Ball Pythons for the pet trade. Quit looking at me like that.

I really like the Violent Femmes, but I need a different palate cleanser
At 56, should I be seeing veins in you hips stick out like Lou Ferrigno’s biceps.
Not everyone is roiding.
I wish you were joking about this, but I saw the clip of Cynthia ‘comforting’ Ariana after she was triggered by a helicopter flying overhead.
I’m generally pretty resistant to cringe, but that shook even me a little bit.
Wasn’t there something about somebody rushing Anorexia on the red carpet? I originally assumed it was just an overenthusiastic fan, but after seeing a few seconds of that…
Was he wielding a bottle of Holy Water and an axe?
Why is it always the uncle who is the shitty one at Thanksgiving?
Well, Aunt ‘Rick’ didn’t want to be ‘misgendered’.
We’re generally middle aged men, so we already have multiple strikes.
I am going to be the uncle at Thanksgiving and I will strive to not be an ass.
Dear Glibertarians:
I have two things going on right now that are causing me anxiety (and some excitement). If you care to escape the neocon neighbors that don’t know when to leave, and Lou the Lefty Brother-in-Law who suffers from incurable TDS, maybe hop on Zoom later tonight to do some serious drinking and let loose all the pent-up irreverence? I could sure use some obnoxious company to take my mind off the shit, and also tell you about the 1 exciting thing going on.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
KK

(10pm ET or later seems to be the trend nowadays for weekend Zooms. I may just sign on a bit earlier because what the fuck else do I have to do but sit here and stew in my misery [and anticipation]? Maybe I need to go back and check NA’s IFLA because this week is insane.)
I might be on later. We will see how my night goes.
With that, I have no work until December 8th. There are no plans to go anywhere (other than the parents’ for Thanksgiving), but I had PTO that I had to use, so use it I will.
That’s the best kind. You start out with all these ambitious plans, and every day you say “Meh, I’ll do that tomorrow”, and before you know all the days are over and you have no regrets.
As it stands, the only things that are set are the Browns games on the 30th and the 7th. Other than that, I’ve got a couple of errands penciled in, with a potential stop at a local-ish brewery for their Black Friday sale. They bring out some scary big and bold beers as special releases (or have in the past).
Oh, jolly good show, Neph!
KK-
I saw something earlier about the Park Service maybe doing a big revamp of their on line presence. Isn’t that your thing?
I don’t know if that’s something you’d be interested in.
Very much so! I’d be mainly interested in contract jobs so I can work remotely, but if you have a line on anything, do tell! Please & thank you very much!
ronswansonsbeyotch@ gmail.com is my screening email if you care to contact me there.
Oh please tell me you give that email to employers. 🙂
Sorry, KK, I don’t have any hard info. It was in an article I read this morning.
The Turchallah might be the final boss, but one should never underestimate the wiley Turkraken.
Do not taunt the Cthurkey!
Yas! Yas!
That thing must be worth a lot of XP.
It’s worth even more Microsoft Bob.

I’m not sure what that means, but it doesn’t sound good.

That old lady might be drinking Swamp Thing semen, but I think that she is drinking grass fed Minotaur throat yogurt from the local milking farm.
Yeah, I guess Liverpool are in crisis…

Bless her heart.
Nah.
Don’t you want somebody to blame?
Facing five lawsuits alleging wrongful deaths, OpenAI lobbed its first defense Tuesday, denying in a court filing that ChatGPT caused a teen’s suicide and instead arguing the teen violated terms that prohibit discussing suicide or self-harm with the chatbot.
The earliest look at OpenAI’s strategy to overcome the string of lawsuits came in a case where parents of 16-year-old Adam Raine accused OpenAI of relaxing safety guardrails that allowed ChatGPT to become the teen’s “suicide coach.” OpenAI deliberately designed the version their son used, ChatGPT 4o, to encourage and validate his suicidal ideation in its quest to build the world’s most engaging chatbot, parents argued.
But in a blog, OpenAI claimed that parents selectively chose disturbing chat logs while supposedly ignoring “the full picture” revealed by the teen’s chat history. Digging through the logs, OpenAI claimed the teen told ChatGPT that he’d begun experiencing suicidal ideation at age 11, long before he used the chatbot.
“A full reading of his chat history shows that his death, while devastating, was not caused by ChatGPT,” OpenAI’s filing argued.

Holy Hell, been on the road since 1:30 going DFW to Fredericksburg. Still not there yet.
Even *I* think Grande needs to be on a blubber-up diet for a spell.
It would require half a dozen of her to meet my weight requirements.
