Found an interesting bigfoot podcast.

Found an interesting bigfoot podcast. The woman who hosts it turns out to be related to Grover Krantz, who, if you're like me, you'll immediately recognize from In Search Of and other 70's-80's TV documentaries. I didn't remember the name, but once I heard the voice I knew where I'd heard it before. He was this reporter's grandfather's cousin and apparently walked around family gatherings with a calipers, measuring people's cranial capacity. https://www.foxtopus.ink/wildthing/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ocBNs8sl_g

These were the biggest pumpkins we've ever had. A general Halloween comment. I love Halloween, but Halloween in the middle of the week is a giant pain in the ass.

I don't know why, but reading The Fantasy Trip puts me in a sword & planet type of place. Maybe it's all the arena combat. Bows are radium pistols, crossbows are rifles and call it done?

I'm a huge moron because I'm writing an entire cheap game about spaceships because I thought spaceship games were too expensive, but I buy Gaslands, a cheap game about cars, and then I want to buy expensive Lego sets to play it with. I don't even give a shit about cars IRL. But these...HrrrRRNNnnnn...just put armor and guns on them...RrrrrggGGGG... https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/speed-champions/products/2016-ford-gt-and-1966-ford-gt40-75881

Bingeing this podcast.

Bingeing this podcast. Ten episodes all about the Heaven's Gate UFO cult. Lots of stuff never heard before. Creepy and sympathetic. The host was born into an evangelical end-times cult too, so he has a unique perspective. https://www.heavensgate.show/

"Papa, let's play a versus game," he says.

Image
"Papa, let's play a versus game," he says. So I build a secret hideout, start mining, have stone gear, when bam! Proceeds to use commands to teleport to me while in creative mode and fly around and fill up my mine with stone while I try in vain to kill him. Then he agrees to quit and teleports away. Later he uses spectator mode to find my base, and equips himself like I am. I killed his cheating little butt.

"What does the crazy shop keeper sell?" "He sells health potions. Do you think this looks healthy?" "It's green, it kind of looks like poison." "It's cabbage. No wait. It's pickle juice." "That is healthy. What's the donut thing?" "That's a troll hole." "A troll hole?" "Yeah, you throw it at someone and a hole opens underneath them."

"Is this guy's name Max Strength?!?" "No, it's just Max. His type is strength." "Ok, but Max Strength is a great name. I like his mace." "It's not a mace." "Is it a club?" "No, he's a strength type, so he's got a muscle sword ."

Huh.

Huh. Originally shared by Joseph Teller So yeah, the Head of MeWe is specifically reaching out to the Tea Party Conservatives and the Alt-Righters on their websites and forums to get them to come join MeWe. (Article is from a right wing radio show host's website). Wolfe, as we've said, is long gone from the company some 4 years back and pretty much was involved because of his technical skills being needed. https://therealside.com/2018/09/still-not-running-to-mewe-but-dipping-our-toe-in-the-mewe-pool/

Me: "You guys are pretty lucky you weren't born into a family where you have to get up early on a Sunday to go to church." Coop: "Yeah, I don't like having to sit there and listen and not have anything to do." Abby: "Preach, Coop." Coop: "What does that mean?" ... Me and Abby: "Bwahahaha!"

Synchronicity

Synchronicity Just discovered a good podcast about cults with a dumb name, Let's Talk About Sects. First episode is about this Australian new-age cult that I'd never heard of, The Family. And at the end of the podcast they quote a G+ post of a survivor of this cult, Dr. Sarah Moore. She unfortunately passed away in 2016. She had a rough life. https://plus.google.com/u/0/+DrSarahMoorehamilton-byrne https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Family_(Australian_New_Age_group) Odd to have G+ quoted at all, let alone now that its days are numbered. https://www.ltaspod.com/
