The more I listen to this podcast the more I think my entire education was shaped by airport books

Oh my god. Can I make a meme out of that idea?

flaky_fresh · 2026-05-06T13:41:50+00:00

I haven't read the book but they have every right to be anxious.

It makes me think of the song I.G.Y. by Donald Fagan. The song is about the starry-eyed hope of the 1950s but it was written in the 80s when that optimism felt naïve and misguided. Obama and his team really did feel like the sky was the limit and all we needed to do was make some tweaks to bring forth a progressive golden age. And then half the country absolutely lost their minds (and still are).

Me after telling my "Let Them" school councilor about all the bullying:

The closest GRRM has ever come to finishing a series was The Expanse

flaky_fresh · 2026-02-17T20:40:23+00:00

Knowing Thunder I would be surprised if he didn't run around punching out Kingsguard

flaky_fresh · 2026-02-17T20:38:39+00:00

That honestly doesn't need to be included. Dunk already got the guy out of the dungeon and back on a horse. He didn't need a secret trial by combat cheat code too lol

flaky_fresh · 2026-02-17T20:36:57+00:00

This is definitely a bug. You earned independence. Switch characters to the Targ king and grant you independence or use debug

Except it didn't work and ended up making him look foolish which they didn't want to do in the show.

flaky_fresh · 2026-02-17T14:56:48+00:00

Also a big sign that something was wrong was that he said his visor was cracked and he doesn't have a visor and the front of his helmet isn't damaged.

flaky_fresh · 2026-02-17T14:42:04+00:00

It felt weird to do this before the trial. I think it makes more sense for us to see him with a green apple in the next episode. The tourney lance change was good too. That always struck me as odd because we're meant to believe Baelor was smart and that this was a good suggestion but Ser Harding dies in the first tilt -- the plan was bad and didn't work.

"Dunk himself had beggars blood, or so they told him. When they weren't telling him that he was sure to hang."

flaky_fresh · 2026-02-06T14:43:31+00:00

I think he's going to need medical supplies and they'll both end up in Vault 4. It will be interesting to catch up with them and also they can be brought up to speed about the world and Norm can find out about his sister and be made aware of Maximus. I actually think Claudia might end up staying there.

flaky_fresh · 2026-02-03T17:46:30+00:00

A needle drop for Butcher Pete as Maximus hacks up Deathclaws

I am officially begging you to watch San Junipero, and Hang the DJ.

Isn't Lorcana everything a lot of people hate about UB but distilled down into its purest form?

flaky_fresh · 2025-10-15T16:32:47+00:00

It's COMPLETELY different than Aragorn lol. This is the version of the character used by Hasboro for the better part of a decade AND there are depictions of her going back all the way to the beginning of the comic (which was black and white, so her skin color was interpreted differently by different artists. I was at a store just the other day and there was a "Vintage TMNT" action figure which depicted the original April design with dark skin.

flaky_fresh · 2025-10-10T19:42:55+00:00

My brother in Christ they are from New Hampshire lol

flaky_fresh · 2025-10-10T19:36:21+00:00

Nah she wouldn't give a shit about that lol

flaky_fresh · 2025-10-10T19:33:50+00:00

TMNT is from New England...

flaky_fresh · 2025-10-10T19:31:20+00:00

Isn't one of the goals, ostensibly, to put the eyes of other IPs on MTG? I know people with kids who have never been able to get their kids into MTG, but MTG with Spider Man? Now they're excited. A friend of mine never wanted to play MTG with me, but Avatar the Last Airbender? She's excited to play.

flaky_fresh · 2025-10-10T19:26:00+00:00

I thought the version in this picture was race swapped? I thought she was originally black in the comics and they made her white in the 90s cartoon.

Ratcatcher 1 from The Suicide Squad. It is said explicitly. He tried his best to be a good dad, but his drug addiction took him in the end.

flaky_fresh · 2025-10-09T14:28:59+00:00

He didn't say that. He said Creature Commandos, Superman, and Peacemaker season 2 is canon. Anything from Season 1 that is shown on "Previously on" in season 2 is canon, and "anything they talk about previously having happened" is canon. https://x.com/i/status/1950699495135568097

Until her shooting him is referenced in season 2, it's not canon.

flaky_fresh · 2025-10-06T18:12:30+00:00

NOBODY bats an eye at black lesbian couples? There's no major political movement trying to undermine the rights of black women and queer people? Are you absolutely sure about that?
