I had an official novelization of Return of the Jedi when I was a kid and it described Jabba as being bloated, immobile, slimy, misshapen, and hairless all due to his lifestyle and unspecified diseases.

Which all implies a healthy Hutt would be sleek, maneuverable, symmetrical and have either luxurious hair or a coating of fur, like some sort of ferret-naga.

That we assume every alien we see is representative of its species is so cheap and I wish the expanded Universe and expanded actual canon hadn’t run with the idea that all hutts are essentially more Jabbas, right down to criminal proclivities and ruthlessness. How would that even work.

How would a whole planet of just a million Jabbas ever conceivably even hold a society together long enough to make it into space?

Did someone help them? What dipshit gave all these fucking Jabbas access to space travel? Jar Jar?

[tickfleato]

the term ferret-naga inspired me to draw this thing and well its . a little bit. creepy

[bogleech]

see, if Jabba had taken care of his hygiene and health nobody would even say no to anything he wanted anyway, how could you ever. People would line up to hurl themselves into the sarlacc just so he wouldn’t show them his sad face

There is something sooo deeply American going on with Seattle Children’s Hospital that I think would brick the minds of everyone outside of the United States.

[skygenders]

The CHILDRENS hospital has to restrict helipad landings because of noise complaints from the wealthy home owners living next to it. Only the most urgent patients can land directly at the hospital. While the other kids have to land a mile away and are taken to the hospital via ambulance. Which is an unnecessary risk to the child’s life and also makes the families pay for the helicopter AND ambulance.

Seattle Children’s says Laurelhurst noise concerns burdens lifesaving care for children

The hospital says some limits on helipad access add pressure when children need lifesaving care.

Apparently this has been going on for decades and is only getting traction because a pilot complained on Twitter.

Video description: A Black man wearing elf ears and dreads and a bandana on his head, pretending to talk to another person. Onscreen text in white says: "I'm Three Drinks Deep at the Elfsong Tavern and Someone Mentions Wyll Ravengard." The angle changes several times and Cary gets more and more animated as he speaks.

Transcription: (sounds of people talking)

Oh nonono, I'm jumping in here. I'm jumping in here because I read the piece in the Gazette, the piece on Wyll Ravengard.

Offscreen voice: Whaddya mean?

You can't slander this man.

Offscreen voice: What're you talking about?

Cary: You can't slander him. No but hear me - hear me well: he was banished from the city by his father at 17. Mind you, he protected the city from a cult of Tiamat. Tiamat cultists. You know where Tiamat was? SHE'S IN HELL. They tried to bring her to Baldur's Gate, and he stopped it. He stopped it! Nono and see this is why you backed Gortash, cuz you lack critical thinking.

Offscren voice: I don't see how that's relevant (repeats)

Cary: You do. You do. You simply do. You- you're completely mischaracterizing this man: he had every chance to just be evil. He coulda been a piece of shit, but he chose light. Where there is surely a path of darkness, he chose light every single time. For 7 years, he went and made a name for himself. As a hero - the Blade of Frontiers. For 7 years.

7 years, a devil in his ear, trying to sway him to a path of darkness, surely. And yet he chose the path of heroism. And you- and you- and you're calling him a fraud? Wyll Ravengard is NOT a fraud. Lorroakan? Fraud. Wyll Ravengard is not a fraud! Not only - not only does he save Baldur's Gate 7 years ago - when he was a teenager, ok? But he comes back with a band of ragtag heroes and helps protect the city from a cultist? The Absolute cultists?

They - DID YOU SEE THE FUCKING BRAIN IN THE SKY? Are you kidding me? This man has saved this city on more than one occasion, and he's not even 30 yet. HE'S NOT EVEN THIRTY YET AND HE SAVED THE CITY TWICE. And you wanna call him a fr- Get the fuck outta my face.

“Millennials have made it clear they most want career advancement and growth, something not every workplace can offer on demand. But in lieu of those opportunities, many companies are resorting to quick fixes in an attempt to shape culture. Whether it’s free snacks, Ping-Pong tables, or beer taps, these perks—like participation trophies before them—are trinkets that do not thoughtfully consider the symptoms of the problem before providing a treatment. Vacation usage—a benefit repeatedly found to be more valued than raises, bonuses, and retirement plans—is a measure of trust and an important part of the work-life balance equation. Despite its value, a study by Project: Time Off revealed Millennials are not taking the vacation they earn. In fact, they are the most likely generation to forfeit time off, even though they receive the least amount of vacation days. Research into Millennial vacation behavior shows they are afraid, not entitled. Compared to Boomers, Millennials are at least twice as likely to say they are fearful of losing their job. This cohort worries about what the boss might think, wants to show complete dedication, and does not want their bosses to see them as replaceable. These findings are counterintuitive to the coddled Millennial stereotype that ignores the circumstances of the generation’s experience. Coming of age during an economic downturn has consequences.”

— this sponsored post on the atlantic for a vacation planning app has a sharper insight into current labor issues than eight years of obnoxious thinkpieces from the atlantic abt millennials, this feels like a diss track
