@LJ Google Take-Out will give you a big zip of it all.

It gives you MBOX files you can open in Thunderbird.

@jacklaridian The amount of sequels and remakes (even though I want to see a bunch) really highlights the dearth of creativity in the industry, huh?

@annika Like, evaluating options, or do you mean you had to go into an office with less-than-optimal coworkers?

@jacklaridian That last episode was difficult to watch.

Not that the show was bad, just Hughie's predicament was painful.

The twist at the end caught me by surprise. That was a great setup all season.

@jacklaridian I saw a rail worker reply that if you throw the switch after the front wheels get over first switch, it causes a derailment. Property damage, but nobody dies.

It's the Kobayashi Maru, and there are plenty of us who do not believe in a No-Win Scenario.

@jacklaridian I would actually go out and vote for "No Confidence" if it meant they dumped the current options and gave us new (viable) options.

@jacklaridian I only discovered Tom Cardy recently, just before he duetted with Ninja Sex Party :NinjaSexParty: . Highly recommend all of that if you enjoyed that video.

@jacklaridian I'm betting on Alicia Masters.

@jacklaridian I think there is a market for a lot of smaller films, the "Made for TV" style, akin to Werewolf by Night. Do a low budget movie just to flesh out the MCU and let it stand on its own. We don't need ten episodes ending in a sky beam just to tell us a Power Pack story.

@jacklaridian They used to do a lot fun little things with the extra shorts they called the One-Shots, we could use more of that sort of thing.

This was before the SHIELD TV Show, and part of the reason he was popular enough to get that show. It's a great way to test markets and still make awesome small things.

@jacklaridian 3 films and two shows still sounds absurdly high.

(But I grew up in the 90s when a movie every other year was a high point.)

@are0h I do not disagree with this assessment, but when you say "Immediately," was there some news or change that is going to draw them in more than they were last week?

(A group I love moved there, and I want to gather arguments to get them move here.)

@ArtBear This sounded "too good to be true" so I fact checked it:

@doot That house looks gorgeous. Has it been put out for them yet? When are we going to see some hedgehog hijinx?

Why do you people have to make it so hard to just download the podcast mp3? I don't want to listen to it on your stupid web page's interface, I want to download it and queue it in my own media player, the one with the hotkeys for pausing and volume and such. Quit hiding your download links!!
