John Green ad on the big promotional TV in Electronics: "Hi Target guests, and team-members hearing this for the seventeen-thousandth time."

My manager, to no one in particular: "Ha! He gets it."

Garlic lemon salmon, garlic mashed red potatoes and balsamic brussels sprouts with red peppers and bacon what is upppp

People comfort themselves by thinking "we removed this specific person who committed these crimes so these crimes are done with" to the point of allowing themselves to ignore the aspect of "we need to change the parts of society that allowed this monster to operate for so long in the first place before it creates another one."

I'm glad to see Nassar get dealt some manner of justice but I feel like people are treating it like taking down this one guy somehow emblematically solves sexual assault

I still have to get Erchitu to 110 to open the Embassy quests but looking at Wowhead comments it looks like she won't need to redo the full Highmountain and Suramar (phew) questlines to unlock the Allied Races once she gets there.

So guess I can stop hoarding faction insignias.

I am just literally glaring at a thesaurus page until my brain squeezes out the right pun.

Almonsterac. Something with fiend and field guide.

It's like I'm getting the idea-ball to the 90 yard line then just lying down and taking a nap.

I keep getting stuck on "Encyclopspedia" like,

that's not *it*, but that's the key to the door that will be It

Tentative plans right now:
I think I want to pick up CC pretty much where I left off, only doing three posts a week instead of daily ones to prevent burnout and stream these drawing sessions on Twitch.
In addition to that, and this is the big project, I want to do weekly more in-depth posts on some subjects, not necessarily individual monsters, with better art pieces and an accompanying podcast and at the end of a year period collect them into a book. I had a possible v exciting cohost for the podcast who I pitched to last year so hopefully they're still on board.
Also, still need to come up with a new name.

I found some new pants

that fit well :v

and look good :o

and cost me like $5 :O

Spoiler-free version: skip it, hard pass

That was, with the most charitable reading I can muster, a good cast in a very bland and highly derivative film;
at worst, it was also so anti-science and fearmonger-y that I'm surprised Kirk Cameron didn't make a cameo. It also did not do great by its female characters.
The best thing I can say is the distribution method worked out for the best, because if I had paid to see this in a theater I would have been pissed.
I don't even want to address the very ending before I have some time to ruminate on it a bit more.

They literally killed off the Asian woman crewmember and replaced her with her white, blonde Alternate Reality counterpart

Oh no, this might be

bad :v

I loved Cloverfield and 10CL but I worry they'll become more concerned with the escalating gimmick surrounding the announcements than the movies themselves.

It's cruel to put both Jeff Golblum and Toby Jones in a movie I'm probably not going to see.

Well Clover my field
