Wild hell-chickens are the most difficult dinos to break to the saddle if not raised by humans from a chick. But it can be done. Watch out for that beak and those talons though. #rotpl It's fun to look at Frederick Remington paintings and put dinosaurs in them.

Tell me we don't live in a dystopian cyberpunk future.
Tell me we don't live in a dystopian cyberpunk future. Our stupid future-cigarettes carry viruses. This goes right along with that "Man smoking e-cigarette must be futuristic bounty hunter" story from the Onion. Originally shared by Russell Holly "After trying out standard protocol, IT asked if there have been any recent changes in the executive’s life. He said he quit smoking and switched to e-cigs. The IT team inspected the e-cigarette, and found that it was a shady brand from China that, as it turned out, was loaded with malware."

Watched Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths with the kids last night.
Watched Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths with the kids last night. Still my favorite DCAU movie. The voice over work is top notch with William Baldwin(!!!) doing a great Batman and James Woods stealing the show as Owl Man. Gina Torres is also fantastic as Superwoman (evil Mary Marvel). Best fight: Wonder Woman takes Superwoman down with wrestling moves, puts her in a hold, and says, "Submit!"

Tell me if this is a Minnesota/Midwest thing or if it applies universally.
Tell me if this is a Minnesota/Midwest thing or if it applies universally. I was at a rock show at a small club last night, and the crowd (mostly hipsters, punks, rockabilly guys and gals) stood at least 15 back from the stage for the opening act. It's like there was a force field. He was even good and got the crowd going. Still, at least 15 empty feet of floor between the edge of the crowd and the stage. This is a near universal phenomena for opening acts here. Is this some weird byproduct off the usual stand-offish Minnesota attitude or does this happen elsewhere too?

Just reading about the Valley of the Mage in Greyhawk.
Just reading about the Valley of the Mage in Greyhawk. My ACKS party is currently near the entrance to the valley. It’s a secluded, secretive place where all the inhabitants are fanatically loyal to the Mage, who they call “Exalted One.” It’s actually pretty boring. If my players decide to go there, I’m changing “Exalted One” to “Dear Leader” and making the Valley into fantasy North Korea. The elves and gnomes all wear identical uniforms. Secret police everywhere. Disinformation about the world outside the valley. The dwarves from the Barrier Peaks that trade with the valley protect it ruthlessly since they’re the only buyers of the valley’s rich silver output.

The Astounding Antagonists
The Astounding Antagonists Rafael Chandler wanted me to review his book even though I'm just some nerd he knows on the tubes. So here it is. Superheroes have always been about wish fulfillment. Power fantasies. I wish I could fly. I wish I was invisible. I wish I could lift a mountain. These days my wishes are different. I wish cops didn’t shoot unarmed kids. I wish the Koch brothers went broke. I wish lobbyists were outlawed. Rafael Chandler has brought my nerdy and political wishes together with the Astounding Antagonists. Here the heroes are the establishment, protecting their interests above all others. What does that make anyone fighting the Man? A super villain of course. This isn’t new territory if you’ve read Watchmen or even Kick Ass, but it’s fresh, taking its cues equally from the latest eye-candy superhero movies and the current headlines. Rafael’s writing is funny, sad, and pointed. He doesn’t pull punches with the action or your emotions. I’ve had a hard time sittin
The Dinosaur killer not only blocked out the sun, it burned the entire planet.
The Dinosaur killer not only blocked out the sun, it burned the entire planet . Originally shared by David Brin Wow, unpleasant to contemplate: “The global debris layer created by the end-Cretaceous impact at Chicxulub contained enough soot to indicate that the entire terrestrial biosphere had burned. Preliminary modeling showed that the reentry of ejecta would have caused a global infrared (IR) pulse sufficient to ignite global fires within a few hours of the Chicxulub impact. This heat pulse and subsequent fires explain the terrestrial survival patterns in the earliest Paleocene, because all the surviving species were plausibly able to take shelter from heat and fire underground or in water.” http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jgrg.20018/abstract http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jgrg.20018/abstract
