One Piece - This chapter is wild. More of the story we're hearing from Sabo about what happened to him at the Reverie. But we also get to see King Cobra approaching the leaders and asking some questions.
Cobra asks about Nefertari Lily, who chose to return home instead of becoming a Celestial Dragon and her lack of inclusion in histories. He asks about who was "D."
And then someone sits on the empty throne. And while Cobra is surprised, the others don't seem to be.
MDMRN Twin 1: Are they supposed to be fighting people?
MDMRNia: What's the word for after the world ends?
Me: Post-apocalyptic?
MDMRNia: Yea, that. This video is like that.
-- Me and MDMRN Twin 2 just having a normal conversation while driving when suddenly... --
MT2: I'm unhappy
Me: Oh no, are you okay? Do we need to head home?
MT2: No, that's the song. I'm listening to it.
Me: Oh
MT2: Please play it again so I can hear the whole thing.
@mdmrn@jcrabapple I always recommend "follow and favorite liberally!" Build up that feed and don't be afraid to dive down rabbit holes from boosts. Lots of great people to find here!
I disagree with the Ravens' decision to not play Jackson. I mean, what do I know...
...but it's a Division rivalry game where we already lost to them once this season. And we can really prevent the Steelers from getting into the playoffs if we win.
So, why not play our former MVP starter even for part of the game?
Today I learned that LEGO has a program where you can send them your old LEGO (bricks, pieces, mini-figs, etc). LEGO will then take them in, wash / sterilize them, and donate them to children in need!
Ooh! Bless their kind plastic hearts! And covert product endorsements
Seriously, though.
Lego bricks are toys for children to learn and have fun. And, more importantly, non-biodegradable pieces of plastic that, because of the amount of plastic entering the environment, when the children of today become tomorrow's adults, will wish that the adults of today hadn't bought them so much plastic stuff.
Which of the following different musical artists has the greatest "albums per year" ratio? As with yesterday's poll, I mean, the number of full length studio albums (excluding live albums, collabs, or compilations) recorded over the number of years they have been or were actively a recording artist or band.
Vote now!
The ratios will be posted tomorrow after the new poll is closed.
Hey all - thank you to everyone who voted. Based on the poll - you think that Black Sabbath is the one with the highest album per year ratio...well, here's the actual numbers.
James Brown - 1.3
Willie Nelson - 1.1
BoA - 0.9
Jay-Z - 0.48
Black Sabbath - 0.46
Even excluding live albums and collabs - Willie Nelson & James Brown have released a ridiculous number of albums over the period where they were actively producing music averaging at more than one a year!

I always put spoilers behind #CW tags & include each series' name / chapter number in the warning.
New series in Do Retry, so I'll check that out.
I am likely to drop Tenmaku Cinema this week unless it wows me. I just...I don't know. There's something about it that's just not clicking for me and I just find myself not caring about it.
Good morning and a happy Festivus for the rest of us.
As is tradition, it is time for the Airing of Grievances.
Have I got something to say to YOU!
First, I'm just disappointed in the past year. 2023 was a mess. I'll just leave it at that.
Second, let's talk about manga cancellations because, I take it personally even though it's not. Sure, I get some of them, but Ginka and Gluna was ramping up to be such an amazing series only to be uncerimoniously cancelled. What a disappointment.
Thirdly, I'm disappointed in @gnitro for still not coming around on Pirate by Everglow. And still mocking me for it. I mean, come on. It's the best.
Fourth, let's talk about KBin. Or not, no one else is really talking about it anymore. What a disappointment. Also, Firefish. Blew up everywhere as the next big thing only to die out faster than me in the speed vehicle level of Battletoads.
Okay, let's talk about gas prices. They're high. That's called modern capitalism. That's why. Stop blaming the President you doofuses. Next.
I'm disappointed in our media that continues to say "CRIME IS THE WORST" when, in fact, crime has been decreasing across the United States for the past decade. All crime. The FBI told us with statistics. Come on, man.
Last night I was up late playing Santa, i.e. wrapping all the presents for my kids. 4 kids for Christmas means a lot of wrapping. Me & my wife split the kids down the middle and, yea, pretty even in terms of number of gifts. So, that's good.
If you celebrate, are you all prepped for Christmas? Do you have all your gifts wrapped / bought?
