Damn. That is tough, I can't imagine losing my best friend or even any of my friends going back to the 70s (but fuck we're getting old so): Born Aug. 23, 1966 in Las Vegas, NV, Escobedo's group, Cleto and the Cletones, has been the house band for Jimmy Kimmel Live! since the show's inception in 2003. Escobedo and Kimmel, however, go way back. The pair hit it off as kids, when Kimmel's family moved to Sin City back in 1977, directly across the street, two houses over from a young Escobedo. Kimmel was unable to hold back the tears, and he told of his best friend's passing at the very top of Tuesday night's Live. "We've been on the air for almost 23 years and I've had to do some hard monologues along the way. But this one's the hardest," he remarked. They weren't just friends. They were 24/7 besties, enjoying countless sleepovers, crank calls, backyard ballgames, and "we definitely gave each other many concussions," he recounted. Across 22 minutes, Kimmel told hilarious tales of youthful pranks, parties, bad advice, and much more, the stuff that occurs only when two people live out of each other's pockets. "We loved all the same things. Baseball, fishing, boxing, [Muhammad] Ali, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Woody Allen, Michael McDonald, Huey Lewis, Stevie Wonder, and most of all, we loved David Letterman," he admitted. "We never missed David Letterman. And the first time I was on the [Late Show with David Letterman] was 1999. It was a really big deal for both of us. That afternoon before the show, I was so nervous. I was walking in New York City, just walking fast, trying to burn off the nervous energy, and I called him just so we could be amazed together that this was happening and it was an amazing thing."

They've been on my radar even before their 2nd edition. I have looked at their books, etc. and they feel like they "get it" like FASA did in terms of what they make available to players. And they are living in modern times - you can buy PDFs and print your own stuff out and pass stuff out to other players, and you can also buy the 3D files to print out your own figures, which I think is really cool. Granted, you can get all of the FASA stuff from the Internet Archive and print out whatever you need, and I'm sure somebody has 3D Star Trek Files floating around, but these are officially supported. And I've seen several of the FASA adventures adapted to Modiphius's system and apparently, they played well (FASA had some really cool adventures they sold, as well as fan stuff you can download). I don't think they have the starship combat stuff to the extent that FASA had (I know ship creation is pretty good), but I kind of think of them as almost separate games anyways since you could spend a lot of time moving ships around. It's tempting, very tempting. For now, we are going to dick around in-person with the FASA stuff we already have, and with the Steam tabletop simulator for the starship stuff (when we have to play online). We've talked about it a bit more this weekend though, and Modiphius is a consideration if we feel like FASA's game is bogging us down. Modiphius has the advantage of supporting all of the canon stuff up through now (even have Lower Decks stuff) which is a huge advantage, but also a huge disadvantage in some ways - FASA, you are pretty locked into TOS and the 80s movies, and early TNG, which can keep things simpler. Modiphius also has a lot better Roll20 support, in fact they have official support (even if it's dated, they've released official files/art for Roll20). Half of the people I'd be playing with, I would have to play remotely, so it's an option. I was in a couple of D&D campaigns run through Roll20 for 3-5 years, and it was easy for us to transition to in-person when possible (long weekends, holidays, etc.) and then back online after.

Sucks, and I know Ukraine wants to fight to the last man to defend every little town, but if they are smart and get their people out in time (or inflict maximum casualties for the losses), and they keep up their deep strikes against the Russian infrastructure and economy, Ukraine will come out much better. The fact that Putin is having to mobilize people that really aren't supposed to be mobilized for a Special Military Operation in another country means that Russia is struggling on the manpower front. The mobilization could, at the very least, be a sign that they can't defend their infrastructure that's on Russian soil and fight in Ukraine at the same time.

I want Tech to destroy aggy for the epic TexAgs meltdown. I mean, it will be just fine if we beat aggy (and we will have our chance to do it anyways), but I think getting beat by Tech would hurt the aggy inferiority complex so much more and probably end up with them firing their head coach.

Yeah, but do you have a problem with them pretending to be your step-sister or step-mom and pretending to get stuck in the clothes dryer or under a sink?

While she very briefly mentions political affiliation (so anybody that’s easily offended, skip it) she talks about incels and how ugly dudes just need to be clean and kind of be interesting and women will fuck them. She jokes about something like “if you’re ugly, go take up kayaking, some woman will bang you” or “go to a chess tournament and figure it out” and points out it’s harder for ugly women to get laid. And it’s true. How many ugly dudes do we know that are swinging well above their weight class? They are clean and have a job.

Probably internet problems related to them trying to stop drones, but… https://x.com/Gerashchenko_en/status/1987816336236364178 It looks like hidden drafting has started in Russia. A campaign started in 20 Russian regions on drafting reservists into units that will secure critically important Russian objects. In Tatarstan, this process started back in October - reservists were recruited to secure oil objects. In Nizhny Novgorod, reservists have already been selected and are undergoing training. On November 4, Putin signed a decree allowing reservists to be drafted into securing critically important objects in peacetime. It is hard to estimate the scale of this process and the number of reservists that will be drafted. The main question is whether this is done to accumulate additional human resource for war or to replenish losses and decrease in signing military contracts (which have been the primary source of Russia's cannon fodder in previous years). This should become clear in several months. Several Russian regions have sharply decreased the amount of payments Russians receive when they sign a contract with the Russian army. That's probably why the hidden mobilization was launched now. Although it is declared that the reservists will only serve in their regions, there is very little doubt that they will all arrive at the frontlines eventually. This should also influence the overall situation with labor resources in Russia - reservists are usually more educated and qualified. Russia is already experiencing labor shortage, and this will deepen the issue in the long term. ————— I’m thinking they re going to stick these dudes in pickups with machine guns and station them around refineries.

Are they “of age” if they didn’t exist until I fed Grok a few prompts? Because I will make money off of these losers. Widely available porn on computers/devices has been around since the early 90s on BBSes. It took off with CD-ROMs and then exploded with the internet. But at the end of the day, those who wanted it could get it easily and mostly anonymously. What’s changed, as others have said, is the idiots are able to seek each other out and reinforce each other’s dumbass views on sex and women rather than keep that shit to themselves and that is a problem, but at least they aren’t adding to the gene pool I guess.
