Everyone is a palimpsest.

Painted over and over in new layers but sometimes we feel things from the canvas.

I just realised that a part of many TTRPG sessions is The Jamie Taco Conundrum

You might have a cool idea but can you do the thing at all when it relies on you saying it fast enough for it to happen before the scene moves on?

(It's a sketch but I'm not really joking)

I am never ending a phone call the boring way again.

Alt text:

A badass Indian dude says "hanging up now!" Then throws his phone on the ground and shoots it.

Another, comparably badass dude on the other end of the line looks at his phone and shouts "HEY!" (Tiny pause) "HEY!"

From the movie Max, 2024

Comics friends please help: I think I saw a map of Gotham or Arkham* in a spiral shape, it was presented as being official, but it was some post here on Tumblr or something so I can't find it again.

Did I dream this? Is this real?

*Or maybe Gotham as a spiral with Arkham as the centre?

My job is voiceovers for mostly serious things, like an ad for Guinness or a human rights video for The UN, but I really love Edgar Allan Poe.

This link lets you listen free, if you are into it.

Thinking again today about how most people aren't good at being aware of their own accent.

Like the English client that advised me (a voiceover person gromDublin) to pronounce "Data"

As "Dar-ta."

Now, I know what they meant. But it's an interesting blind spot.

People That Suck The Life Out Of You, Vol 897:

An exhausting personality type that can take a while to spot:

The person who holds everyone else personally responsible for their feelings, but takes no responsibility for the effects their behaviour has on other people's feelings.
