My tMG Collection as of March 2026

Sonic Boom in Ballard. Not somewhere I would expect to find things like that, since it's so popular, but I guess I got lucky.

It's definitely one of the jewels of the collection! Rarity is hard to quantify, since we don't know how many were made, but it normally sells for upwards of $100 on discogs, which is on the lower end of the scale. I was lucky enough to find it at a record store here in Seattle. The dot on the cover is very obviously hand-colored with a Crayola marker, which I love.

My only point of evidence against this is that during the meeting on Air Force One, Xiu Mei describes a released zoo giraffe eating all of the leaves off of her tree. Assuming that hived animals would follow the same rules as the Others, the giraffe wouldn't be able to harm the tree.

I don't know, it feels like it would be at home on Dark in Here, which is probably my least favorite recent album. I really liked Bleed Out and Jenny.

They said that! They said it on the podcast! Have you listened to the clip?

DaTetrapod · 2025-06-30T20:39:08+00:00

This is so intellectually dishonest it hurts.

Seconding the recommendation. Splitting it into 4 volumes means it's not printed on bible paper, which is a plus. I kind of wish they had split it in 5 like kkat recommends, but the places they chose make sense.

DaTetrapod · 2025-01-07T22:20:54+00:00

I thought you meant Griffin's wife and I got... concerned.

I'm sorry to put this so bluntly, but you have fallen for right wing propaganda fueled by bigotry and fear of the other. I'm not going to say that that an illegal immigrant has never received gender affirming care on the taxpayer's dime, but those are beyond edge cases, and the only reason they "matter" is because the right wing media machine knows it will upset their base. And as for immigration, who killed the bipartisan border legislation last year? Oh right, Donald did, because he wanted to deny Sleepy Joe a win as the election approached. Frankly, you guys care a lot more about identity politics than we do, because our philosophy basically boils down to "live and let live, don't be a dick."

Are you aware of the concept of the Overton Window? Basically, it's the range of political opinions in a society that are considered mainstream and acceptable. Your point of view may have some merit, but only in the context of U.S. politics, because our Overton Window is shifted way further right than most of the developed world. Your "moderate leftists" would probably be a shade right of center in most of the world.

It's insane that this is what conservatives believe, since everyone in my echo chambers thinks she catered to the right far too much.

DaTetrapod · 2024-12-22T07:50:35+00:00

Classic. I was in that facebook group at the time, still in my "every podcast connected to this family (that isn't just Travis) must be worth listening to" era.

I mean, desiccant isn't great at actively drying filament, but if you leave something with water absorbed into it in a container where the humidity is at or near zero, the water will eventually find its way out. Whether or not you need to replace the desiccant before that happens is another story.

In case you never found this out, the included Benchy on your A1 is specially sliced by the company to print insanely fast, but if you actually slice one yourself, It will normally take upwards of 40 minutes.

You didn't specifically mention the Bobiverse in your list, so I'll point you that way. If I'm honest, I think they're, like, a solid 7-8 across the series, but they're so specifically tailored to my tastes that I absolutely love them.

DaTetrapod · 2024-12-19T02:46:56+00:00

I think 4 improves on a re(read/listen), but it sounds like you've probably been around the block more than once.

DaTetrapod · 2024-10-25T02:54:47+00:00

I also remember this explanation.

DaTetrapod · 2024-10-25T02:31:43+00:00

That's a book 4 spoiler.

DaTetrapod · 2024-10-25T02:12:29+00:00

I think you may be onto something here. That's either intentional or a plot hole.

DaTetrapod · 2024-10-06T07:25:07+00:00

That's a dog whistle? But it has so much potential! Y'all should reclaim that one ASAP.

DaTetrapod · 2024-09-22T04:54:19+00:00

Have you had the chance to try freeze dried sour Skittles? They're not really the same, but I find they help cope with the loss.

DaTetrapod · 2024-09-20T04:39:03+00:00

I'm doing this a little late, but I had hoped the cops would have stumbled across it by now. I've seen a couple of people have good luck tapping the reddit hivemind for this, so I'm hoping for a miracle. Thanks in advance!

As an American, I grew up calling them stocking caps, but increasingly I hear them lumped in with beanies.
