@GigagodSesamar This rather reminds me of Robert E. Howard's short story, "The Black Stone" - minus the froglike demigod, sacrificial victims, etc. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black… libraryofshortstories.com/onlinereader/t…

Ertuğrul Edirne is a prolific Turkish painter and illustrator known for his dynamic, realistic art style used across thousands of comic book covers, movie posters, and book illustrations. #Sesamar #monolith #druids #rituals

@IWackadoodle @LL_929 I think this is actually the hapless Rincewind from Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" series.

@LL_929 I can tell he was a Wizard because he's got Wizzard written on his hat. (What's with the "Wince"?)

The gifted "Wincerind the Wizard" makes his debut in #Umbros. Met a prince, reduced to zero hitpoints, and survived! #BROSR

@ThatSteveGuy @shapesandlines One advantage to the sword being a family heirloom would be that it would've been available to practice with on a regular basis as soon as he was old & strong enough to use it, probably five or six years before going adventuring.

@shapesandlines Good point. If I were creating a backstory for the image I would probably say the sword is a family heirloom. I should have made it look a little older or warn down. Thanks for the good feedback.

Yesterday’s Sunday Sermon Sketch: first level fighter on his first adventure.

@GeorgeOlduvai @furious83643 @DungeonNoir The Caitian, Lt. M'Ress: @furious83643 did specify that the "furry cat person" was a member of the crew, after all.

@furious83643 @DungeonNoir The Kzinti or the Caitian? Both make appearances, IIRC.

Has anyone watched this??

@CaliforniaGlobe @carldemaio In fact, I stand corrected: it's to prevent racist bigots like Nick Shirley from doxxing people providing services to immigrants, thus preventing violence against them.

@CaliforniaGlobe @carldemaio They're trying to stop Nick Shirley's style of fraudulent smears, not actual investigative journalism.

California Democrats Advance ‘Stop Nick Shirley Act’ to Criminalize Investigative Journalism. California Democrats are trying to make investigating fraud illegal Assemblyman @carldemaio says. @CaliforniaGlobe link below👇👇👇

@EylonALevy The Nazis' butchery of 6 million European Jews in WW2 does not excuse the war crimes the IDF is committing in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon. Shoah and Nakba alike are ethnic cleansing and equally wrong. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba

“On Yom HaShoah, we reaffirm that when genocidal maniacs want to kill Jews, the Jews should do nothing about it.”

@jmluce68_luce If I remember correctly, the Tommies of the BEF referred to Ypres as "Wipers" - not that you can necessarily expect proper pronunciation of a place name from someone who isn't a native speaker! Otoh, it could be as much because they were sick of being there in the first place…

Red Poppies Campaigns Vol 1: The Battles for Ypres Heading to Flander's Fields tonight for the 1st Battle of Ypres. Green German units assault battered and worn out remnants of the BEF in the cold October fog. To answer your question, its pronounced EE-pruh.

@furious83643 @jmluce68_luce @DungeonNoir Lt. Arex, the three-armed non-humanoid, is a particular case in point; his makeup effects would have been a budget buster for every episode he appeared in, assuming they could pull it off in live action in the first place. Lt. M'Ress was doable but dubious in live action.

@furious83643 @jmluce68_luce @DungeonNoir Animation gave Star Trek's creators the opportunity to create aliens, ships & landscapes they would NEVER have had the budget - or technology - to create for the original live action show.

@_FrostGiantJarl @DungeonNoir I'm old enough to have watched it on Saturday mornings when it was first run in 1973-'74. And I never missed an episode. Still have it on DVD.

@DungeonNoir I’m only two episodes in but it’s surprisingly good! Total 70s vibe too like tos.

I bet I’m going to find out these things did not age well pcgamer.com/games/rpg/wiza…

@saundby @BugbearBrothers I got that "tracer pistol" one Christmas when I was a kid. Lost the "ammo" rather quickly, of course.

@BugbearBrothers Part of that wonderful phase of monetization where you take any random thing and put the name of an IP on it.

The Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Flashlight, from Larami, 1983. An absolute must for any bugout bag, and a lot less encumbrance that torches!

@Dade512 @Close_the_gates @dalepartridge This post of clear truth earned you a Follow! And yes, the Constitution AND Bill of Rights are Enlightenment documents, the antithesis to everything the Neo-Confederate & Christian Nationalist movements promote. Btw, the Confederate Constitution includes an invocation of God.

The founders were largely Enlightenment deists and humanists. Jefferson literally cut the miracles out of the Bible. Franklin was a deist. Madison wrote the First Amendment specifically to prevent religious establishment. Paine called organized religion a "human invention set up to terrify and enslave mankind." The people who actually tried to build a Christian nation in America were the antebellum Southern theocrats who used scripture to justify slavery - and then committed treason to preserve it. That's the historical lineage of Christian Nationalism in this country. Not the founders. The Confederacy.

America has five core enemies: 1. Zionism 2. Liberal Women 3. Islam 4. Hinduism 5. Violent Blacks Here are the solutions: 1. Eliminate Dispensationalism 2. Repeal the 19th 3. Mass Deport Muslims & Outlaw Islam 4. Mass Deport H1B’s & Outlaw Hinduism 5. Publicly Hang Murderers

@Gabriel80730695 @tina92272 @ksorbs Agreed. Mothers taking tranquilizers to cope*, women having no credit or control of their own finances, constant persecution of LGBTQ people, the list is long & depressing. *The Rolling Stones famously sang about "Mother's Little Helper" in the 1960s.

@tina92272 @ksorbs No it wasn’t not in slightest -

Look at this video of NYC in 1975, see how peaceful it was? Look at how everybody seems to be enjoying their lives, and not contrast it to today. Our country has been ruined.

@Gabriel80730695 Carrot Caligula has turned 🇺🇸 into the least trustworthy nation on the planet. It'll take years, if not decades, to repair the damage to our reputation, and that's only if we can get Progressive Democrats into enough high offices to block the right wing.

You picked an unnecessary fight with Iran without consultation of any leaders in Europe - you have insulted leaders of various European countries for yrs WTMF did you think would happen when turned out you screwed up - again ? This on you not #NATO #TrumpIsTheEnemyWithin

@Gabriel80730695 Dumpster Fire 45/47 was babbling about Operation Epstein Fury again, I see. I never saw the movie "Wag The Dog", but I know enough about its story to see it being reenacted in real life almost perfectly.

Again for 🤡 in the back - The enormous irony of the biggest fool ever put into the office of President now being on tv babbling like the fool we know he is on April Fools can’t be lost on anyone - #OperationEpicFail

@GrimnoGhost @PatriotXV11 @ksorbs Truth is, NOBODY had that "Leave It To Beaver" illusion in their lives, except when they were watching the show. The era had a dark side (open acceptance of racism, women having no real rights, gays forced to live in the closet, etc.) we're well rid of.

@PatriotXV11 @ksorbs I take joy in knowing you'll never have that in your life.

@ksorbs @BasedRambo We never should have taken God, respect, manners, kindness out of our schools and society!

Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us. Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”

@SW_PhotoNature Handsome fellow!

I hid on the edge of the oil seed rape when this hare casually lolloped towards me. He paused a few moments for a photoshoot before gently and silently skulking off into the crop.

@_noahlowe @onestpress I think it's more a commentary about our greedy corporations & current government, not real space operations. Any Earth countries in our current global paradigm would be well advised to keep mum about exploitable resources.

@onestpress Oil only has so much energy for its density. If intergalactic travel were possible, it wouldnt be on oil. I doubt aliens would be interested
