2.) If journalists had the guts to risk their access by calling out these bastards on their bad-faith arguments, none of this horror would’ve gone down.

3.) The best way to describe this early D&D book we found in a thrift store is the line “The term ‘surprise’ is basically self-explanatory” and then a page and a half explaining what it means.

15.) Nihilism! It’s Better Than Nothing!
