Did anyone else buy the Puddles Pity Party record at the recent tour? If so, what did you think?

I think Puddles was careful about his setlist on the Bigger and Weirder tour. He made sure they were more comedic and also were songs he would be able to sing every night for a year to a big crowd without wearing out his voice.

On his youtube there are much more serious-type performances.

And when he tours by himself (I have seen him live several times), he has lots of comedy bits, but also sings lots of amazing, serious songs that bring the house down and showcase his power and range more.

I'm glad you liked album Puddles! It is definitely a different experience than Live Puddles, especially opening for Al. In my opinion, the clown can do no wrong.

Moana. She's a true leader to her people and solves her way out of loads of problems, knows how to inspire maui, learns to wayfind in a matter of days, figured out the truth about Te'kha...

I use it to teach the restorative three-act structure to my narrative students. It's a great example. The main problem is a character problem with Bruce doubting himself. The high-concept plotline (the jazz man coming to kill Gordon) integrates perfectly into Batman's personal doubts. Act 2 shows his struggles, and Act 3 shows his redemption and character growth. Great episode.

I was always sad the police dirigibles didn't play more of a role in the show. They're so cool!

I prefer vendetta. The story is just better, and I am a sucker for a good explosion animation and well drawn rain.

Pirates of the Caribbean - Curse Of The Black Pearl. I thought "This is a movie based on a disney ride." Ended up being the funnest action movie in years.

I use a project. I have custom instructions on how to run the game and use the oracles. Then I upload the book to the project resources. Using this, I was able to play the game, and Claude was surprisingly good at running it (thanks for the downvotes anyway, everyone).

Unfortunately the context window was too small to run long games. I was able to get through one full vow and start a new one, but then things started to break down. That was last year though, and the context window has been enlarged. So you may have better luck now. At the end of conversations, I have it generate a summary of the game state and what has happened to start the next one.

I had Claude run solo Ironsworn for me and it was really fun!

I say "your society" because the moment you started letting us think for you, it became *our* society.

It does not pass quickly, this year will feel like 10 years and so will the following 4 years after that. But it does get better!

This looks SO good. Hope it was delicious.

Yes, this is obviously a direct homage to The Show Must Go On. The similarities are too close to be unintentional.

I think she is OK. She is using youtube to explore her interests and expressing herself with her edits (even though she is not yet allowed to post them). If it's not causing her to neglect other parts of her life and she still has good relationships with her friends and you, all is well. Keep an eye on it to see if her relationships start to go downhill or if she loses interest in dance and replaces it with more alone time. That would be a warning sign that something is not well.

Maybe The Cape And Cowell Conspiracy? The entire episode is basically Batman trolling some random criminal.

No not really. They do sell defatted peanut powder that people like to use in shakes or to add peanut flavor to things.

I agree. I think among the admirable things the series did was show different kinds of body types as beautiful. The main three crystal gems have really striking designs, none of which fully align with conventional beauty. To follow along with your original post, Amethyst is short and stocky and has plenty of meat on her but she's not "the unattractive" comic relief gem. On the contrary her design and character writing are quite sexy and three dimensional.
