When you find a very cool tarot deck on Kickstarter: 🥰 😊 🤩

When you find out that it was AI generated: 🤬 🤬 🤬

I appreciate KS making it mandatory to disclose AI generated works, but... I just can't with this, y'all. Seriously.

@juliar I mean, good as in, I love the concept and the example cards were good. The text included was a bit generic, I think that might be I too.

@marquisedewhat Yes, bless KS for that, although they need to put it in their search bar as a filter option.

Time for the last read-through of this manuscript, or as I like to call it, De-Semicolonization

@Emmacox I love it, but there needs to be a healthy amount of them in a paragraph 😅

I am considering a new dissertation titled

"Parental gender roles, weaponized incompetence, and differing masculinities: Bandit vs Papa Pig."

@si_fuller Yes, I did notice some changes as the show went along

I managed to complete this yeat's A to Z Challenge, mostly because I scheduled the posts ahead of time.

I also decided to announce my theme for NEXT year... mostly because it will take a whole lot of reading to pull it off :)

Trying to determine if Admetus and Alcestis is too well-known a story to include in my Forgotten Myths book... 🤔

@CatFoxBirdLady Mostly by polling a bunch of people on social media? :D

Love story from Classical mythology that has a happy ending.
Go.

@Printdevil Is that a love story though?...

TarkabarkaHolgy, 21 days ago

@Printdevil No I mean story where the main plot is romance :D

TarkabarkaHolgy, 21 days ago

@Printdevil That's not a bad philosophy :D

#ToddlerDnD

Parental actions that come with an immediate alignment check:

• Introducing the child to the Muppet version of Ode to Joy (sung by Beaker)

• Putting the batteries BACK into the whining toy dog

• Turning the jets on while the kid is in the bathtub

• "Glitter is fun"

• Cocomelon

• Saying "shark" after the toddler yells "baby!"

• Quoting your toddler during sexy talk with spouse

If the check fails, your alignment automatically moves to Chaotic.

The more research I do into #mythology, the more I dislike Odysseus.

TarkabarkaHolgy, 28 days ago

@szakib sources vary, but

• it's his idea to abandon Piloctetes when he is injured
• he frames Palamedes for treason and has him executed while pretending to be his friend (because Palamedes is smarter than him, but also honest and liked)
• he suggests they kill Hector's infant son in case he'd grow up and try to take revenge
  So... yeah

TarkabarkaHolgy, 28 days ago

@dnoate yeah. I keep thinking how we learn about him as "the smart one" a hero that is more likable than those in the Iliad...

TarkabarkaHolgy, 28 days ago

@szakib this is what makes his story with Palamedes exciting. Palamedes is smart, and definitely a showoff, but an honest guy. Odysseus is smart, sneaky, and ruthless.

I fantasize about a quiz show where all the questions are about the first 25 minutes of popular kids' movies.

I would ace that so hard.
