Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@JulieSqveakaroo Back this morning, actually. :D <3

We booted Artie back into the rain, mainly due to a lack of litterbox supplies for an overnighter, and my heart is broken! One million years jail for Father. ;____;

Somebody please reassure me of the blatantly obvious fact that an adult cat who grew up outdoors in New Orleans is perfectly equipped to surive a little heavy rain, even if Artie's probably not thrilled right now. :)

@Phorm @001zlnv "Oops, All Sweepings!"

Caved in and let Shadow and Artie hide out from today's thunderstorms a little bit. To my utter amazement, they both herded up at the door and asked to be let outside, even though it's soaking wet outside. Granted, there was a little food out there to sweeten the deal...

It's nice how well we're all starting to understand each other. I think they're starting to recognize when they've overstayed their welcome and at least these two will often just kinda let themselves out without a fuss.

*glowers at scratch on left wrist* I REALLY wish Sugarfoot would take a few hints from them. >___<

I keep forgetting not to ever, ever, ever use irony around Earnest Young Leftists and expect it to be understood. I keep expecting that since we're The Good Smart Ones we'll be better at reading between the lines, but we're not, we're just not.

@Soreth Indeed, but it also makes me sad that he apparently beat the Wreckoons guy to this historic gaming first...

@LexYeen dammit kid you talk like black blood of the earth weren't already there for people like us, the strong

@mawr @Soreth And of course, it's all part of a 4-season story arc where Artie turns out to be behind ALL of it...

@mawr I want to learn how to lucid dream, exclusively so I can cast Jack and Shemp in my own private mismatched buddy-investigator comedy.

Together, they... uh... get about 4% of the way through solving crimes before the lose interest. *shrug*

oh my god, the ending totally makes this

came up during a thread on the game design of candyland which devolved into a fedorabrawl over whether it's "really a game" *sigh*

Found this clip to use as a response to a thread about post-employment economies on Birdsite. It's from one of my favorite things of all time, ZBS Audio's "Ruby: Adventures of a Galactic Gumshoe," and it feels awfully relevant to Our Discourse given it was recorded in 1982...

artie pooted right in my face >____<

@LexYeen It is so nice to spend every day with your best friend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg29TuWo0Yo&t=600s

@eredien go for it! :D

I... I just ran a fucking meeting.

What am I even becoming.

I think it's safe to say we've pretty much exhausted the basic Groundhog Day infinite timeloop trope.

So the next phase is going to be finite loops. The hero _thinks_ they're going into an inexhaustible loop, but they find out that it's decaying.

We've already seen this start to happen. Russian Doll and one of the Xmas episodes of American Dad (I know, I know) come to mind. I think there are others.

But the _next_ revisionist genre phase after that: someone else has already gotten their hands on the mechanism. The loops are handed out by some intractable authority and the protagonist must "earn" more by doing something morally compromising.

It's coming. The math is flawless. :3

@LexYeen

(無) O o .🐄​

I am pleasantly surprised by how often I'm getting upvoted for demolishing transphobes and their "it's just a FACT" nonsense with actual nuance. Especially on the skeptic communities, which I frankly expected to be... beardier. :p

But yeah, popping up on /r/skeptic and saying "trans woman are men and you're delusional if you think otherwise" is a good way to get blue-arrowed to death and that gives me a lowkey sense of relief.

@JulieSqveakaroo Darlin, we are all pulling for you and Raccoon. You don't have to apologize for a thing.
