She wants to invade for them, but the Joint Chiefs told her it would be… Kalamata-ous

Bigoted Bill?

I think that’s part of the joke too. Like the whole comic has been written out of order due to race conditions; rather than just the father represents race conditions.

It’s one degree of humour too far though, if that’s the case, doesn’t really land.

In the big old house of fun!

I don’t have suggestions better than those of others; just know I empathise with you.

Also; I call that state Ludo Limbo. The game hasn’t clicked with you, and you’re not having a good time, but for reasons outside your control you’re fucking stuck there.

I’m utterly befuddled by this woman; somehow she hates the idea of trans women so much that she’s now closely allied with Posie Parker, a woman who hates women, hates suffrage, has advocated for the removal of women’s rights for years, and shares closely held opinions from just right of Goebbels.

Somehow Jo has become so utterly single-minded, she’s paired with the antithesis of all the other things she believes in (and still claims to believe as justification of her anti-trans nonsense).

Did I hear a Ding? Gratz!

It’s a very special moment to hold a game you made happen in your hands, I hope it happens many more times for you!

This photo was taken years and years ago, look how young Neil Gaiman is in it.

I haven’t done a play challenge since the pandemic hit, but the last couple years I did were 25x4 challenges. Same 100 plays, but far more impetus to play new things and to swap and borrow from friends. The one year I did a 10x10 I felt a disconcerting pressure to fill my card, and that led to me not being a very pleasant participant in game nights.

“So this will be heard on every ship in the fleet?” “Yes, they’re just digitising and automating everything, so the commander presses a button and your voice plays…” “I’m not interested in all that, can we just crack on?”

The simplicity of that exchange, that Toast desperately wants to know why he’s saying these lines, but also is an ego maniac determined to show everyone this work is beneath him, cutting off the answer to a question he asked just to say he’s not interested, total genius. Toast of London, and in particular these recording scenes, is the best English comedy of the 2010s for me.

Well, in fairness to them, I learned I don’t want no Scrubs. Which is good as I think that aired on ABC

I must have missed some Tallman background characters as I had fewer than that before moving on to tallying up her stunting for various main cast. (I checked two sources as I was worried this might be the case but as always Roles, Stunts and Secondary Artist work are not credited equally or properly).

Jaccident, when his maths failed.

That depends on how you feel about what constitutes playing a character.

In raw numbers we’ve had Combs play 7 main characters (Brunt, Tiron, Mulkahey, Penk, Krem, Shran, Agimus) that aren’t Weyouns and at least 3 of them that I recall. This discounts his appearances in video games.

Whereas though PT has been on screen a lot, maybe as many times as Combs, it’s worth remembering that stuntpersons aren’t playing the character, they are playing the actor. She was also in Jurassic Park, not as Ellie, but as “Laura Dern’s Stunt Double”.

Edit: an earlier version of this comment started “that’s not strictly true” but I’m not the person who gets to decide that. To me it doesn’t seem true, but to someone else perhaps it does. I changed it because I’m not the arbiter of such things, and to open a comment that way was frankly a bit dickish.

I feel the scene is deeper than that. Quark isn’t just dunking Sisko, he’s shining a light on the fact that Sisko doesn’t see the Ferengi as they are, rather he uses the surface level similarities of capitalism to apply his human anxiety about pre-post-scarcity to them instead.

Indentured servitude is a form of forced/coerced labour too.

Noble. No bell. But, lots of bell. All bell.

I really like the Sequel, with Darrow o’Lykos fighting the Cylons.

Bet she put the soundtrack on Spotify though. That’s an earworm right there.

It’s easy to miss, it’s listed as English (Brain Rot)

You really need to watch it in the original Libertarian.
