$122,000. And the thing is so shodily designed that the accelerator can become that easily stuck. It isn’t even all one piece.
$122,000. That’s more than my entire household income, and we’re 3 adults with full-time jobs.
If you gave that $122,000 to Feeding America, that would provide over 1 million meals.
That’s $122,000 more than Tesla paid in taxes.

Exclusive: Discworld TTRPG in the works by studio behind Fallout wargames
Modiphius, the studio responsible for tabletop adaptations of Star Trek, Fallout, and more, is working on a Discworld TTRPG.
Having secured the rights to the beloved series with an agreement from the late author Sir Terry Pratchett’s estate, Modiphius is already at work on a Discworld roleplaying game “around the city of Ankh-Morpork and the wider Disc.” This will hit Kickstarter later in the year.
PSA: Don’t use Open Office
I keep seeing people recommending Open Office as an alternative to Word, and uh… look, it is, technically, an open source alternative to Word. And it can do a lot of what Word can, genuinely! But it is also an abandoned project that hasn’t been updated in nine years, and there’s an active fork of it which is still receiving updates, and that fork is called LibreOffice, and it’s fantastic.
Seriously, if you think that your choices are either “grit your teeth and pay Microsoft for a subscription” or “support free software but have a kind of subpar office suite experience”, I guarantee that it’s because you’re working with outdated information, or outdated software. Most people I know who have used the latest version of LibreOffice prefer it to Word. I even know a handful of people who prefer it to Scrivener.
Open Office was the original project, and so it has the most name recognition, and as far as I can tell, that’s really the only reason people are still recommending it. It’s kind of like if people were saying “hey, the iPhone 14 isn’t your only smart phone option!” but then were only ever recommending the Samsung Galaxy S5 as an alternative. LibreOffice is literally a version of the same exact program as Open Office that’s just newer and better – please don’t get locked into using a worse tool just because the updated version of the program has a different name!
neil gaiman, i must ask, WILL THEY KISS AGAIN IN SEASON THREE????? thank you for your time
Having seen how badly the kiss in Season 2 went down, I cannot imagine any more kissing in the future.
At this point, I feel like I need to staple the sign to something. Or someone.
You know what, I'm updating the sign because everyone said "oh Neil, please let them kiss in season 2!" and he simply smiled as another finger on the goddam monkey's paw curled
Wanna add this for the people genuinely freaking out about Neil’s answer

Honestly? They had me at “Trump dies”.
It’s gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.
- Naturally everybody will think it’s fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it’s real
- There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable “don’t speak ill of the dead” discourse about those celebrations
- Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that
- The Republicans (after they’re done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They’ll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.
- There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won’t, he was a traitor insurrectionist)
- The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.
- Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.
- Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.

Are you really Neil Gaiman? Why are you on Tumblr?
Nobody is really Neil Gaiman. Nobody is actually on Tumblr. I trust this clears everything up.
Neil Gaiman does not have social media.
Neil Gaiman, what are you doing EVERYWHERE?? Yesterday, you were in two knowledge bowl questions- one involved a reading from a passage in Stardust, and the other was “Which novel, written by Neil Gaiman, published in 2001-” (I didn’t hear the rest of the question before I was shaking my teammate to hit the buzzer). And then, this morning, your name was one of the answer options to a radio show question about who wrote a Dolly Parton song. Sadly you did not write a Dolly Parton song.
Whew!
I'm sorry to disillusion people but Neil Gaiman is made up. He's "everywhere" for the same reason mall Santas are everywhere. People dress up as Neil Gaiman and go to bookstores and conventions and run social media accounts to spread joy to all the young adults and queer people. But he's not real. Neil Gaiman is more like a feeling. In Scandinavia he's known as Nail Guaymin and he leaves books in people's shoes every November 10th.
I can't believe there are still people thinking Neil Gaiman is real. Just recently there were articles of him being sighted in Australia. As if such a prolific author would risk get eaten by dropbears. In The Czech Republic he's known as Nýl Gejmen and every November 10th we drink only dark lager instead of normal beer.
In Finland Niilo Hömömies comes to your house on the 10th and hands out the books himself. It can be pretty expensive to hire someone who dresses up as him for your family, but it's a much loved tradition here so we're ready to use a little money to bring joy to the children. It's worth it, most people think.
In Spain, children invite Neil to visit by putting their most precocious prose and drawings into letters, and then he visits them in triplicate as the "three wise Neils" on November 10. (I don't know why, his honorary birthday is just a very busy day for all his impersonators.)

Fun fact about this: Chris McVeigh no longer sells these custom kits. You might think “aww, did Lego send him a cease-and-desist or something?”
NOPE! They hired him. He’s an official Lego set designer now.
