It would be cool if we get to hear from the version of the Doctor that was in “Living Witness.” I think the timeframe would be about right.

Wish the Onion wasn’t out here giving them ideas…

I’ve always dropped the censer before entering shops because I was afraid this would happen

He’s not as bad (yet, at least). But Hitler didn’t have access to a gigantic nuclear arsenal, so Trump has the potential to do way more damage

Sensationalist headline-writer: “These researchers are neutrally investigating language change? Let’s throw ‘fear’ in there to get up the prescriptivists’ hackles!”

You do gain hunger slower in a garden, so if you have to sleep to heal, it’s a better place than just out in the dungeon. Other than that, I find it useful for the assassin to build up turns of preparation without spending cloak charges or potions/scrolls; just remember to turn on your cloak before you leave or it all goes to waste.

I do the same, I just wish my library had digital copies of all the books on my bookshelf! I have had luck using the same method to strip the DRM from an epub I bought from Kobo’s shop, but I don’t know if it would work with bookshop.org. I’d like to be able to support local bookstores, but their current model just doesn’t work for me.

As a Penn employee, I understand why they have to do this, and honestly I just hope I keep my job long enough for it to be relevant, but not doing CoL increases is de facto a pay cut (especially when the cost of living is going up as much as it is right now).

What does this bit mean?

The Priest can cast Guiding Light for free once every 100 turns, and can consume the illumination debuff with allies, wands, and some artifacts for bonus damage equal to their level.

A lot of the cleric’s abilities seem pretty specific. Are you able to use any of them with other heroes with the scroll of metamorphosis?

A few minutes ago out of nowhere, it suddenly clicked in my brain that I had called “Strange New Worlds” “Brave New World” on here, so I had to come and see people making fun of me. Thank you all for not disappointing 😆

I don’t know how, but I would love to see more of these characters in live action. Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid were fantastic in BNW.

Tawny Newsome is awesome, so I’m sure this will be good, but there seems to be a fundamental tension between Kurtzman saying Trek can broaden, while Paramount seems to be trying to contract it.

This is fair. Usually when I hear “prescriptive” I have a knee-jerk reaction to it as something bad because it’s usually used to refer to people using made-up rules to enforce systems of oppression rather than fight against them like inclusive language does, but I hadn’t thought about it as “prescriptivism for good.”

Ironic that the actor who seems to be the biggest Trek fan also played my least favorite character. Zeph was a cartoon.

Using inclusive language isn’t linguistic prescriptivism. Prescriptivism is saying “this word is incorrect English/doesn’t mean what you are using it for.” Inclusive language is saying “if you use this word, you’re being a jerk.”
