M.O.O.N., that’s how you spell moon.

Ah, he’s pissed about the Greenland deal. He’s terribly transparent in his temper tantrums.

It’s explained in the article.

Also, Tomb Raider. One of the most well known videogame characters is literally an ass-kicking woman.

Well, as for brooms and wands, it’s stated that they consist out of rare materials like phoenix feathers.

Concerning books: At least for books on magic, there seem to be constant revisions of spellbooks, so probably the newest editions would be harder to come by. A lot of magic seems to be trial and error, as evidenced by the additions Snape did to his own potions handbook as a pupil.

It’s weird he didn’t share that knowledge when he was potions teacher though.

Well, the characters in the books/movies need to buy brooms, wands and books for example. The first two are specialized magical artefacts that any wizard probably can’t just create. The books contain specialized knowledge, but it’s unclear why the pages can’t just be copied. Maybe there’s a magical copyright so trying would just create blank pages.

Ten Forward seems to be open around the clock and you can always create food with the replicators too. And we see the officers work in shifts. So I assume “breakfast” is the meal before your shift starts and “dinner” is after it is over. Other than that, there is probably no “meal time” as such.

We mostly follow the bridge crew around the captain but presumably there is a whole other crew of officers for the “night” shift. (In fact, there is an episode when Troi has the helm for that shift.)

I would assume the goblins can tell if money/gold is created magically and is therefore worthless. Also, it seems to be a situation similar to Star Trek where people work more for the sense of accomplishment than out of sheer necessity (since they presumably can create food, clothes and housing with magic).

The dead internet looms large.

J.D. Vance is only 40.

In 2060, people will curse the people of 2020 who did almost nothing to mitigate climate change.

Probably didn’t drown but might have gotten infected by mold. There’s a reason spiders prefer dry places.

That movie was exactly like a DnD session, even including the OP NPC that the DM introduces to finally advance the plot because the players are all acting like bumbling idiots.

I absolutely loved the movie and I think it’s one of the best game adaptations ever.

More of a general thing, but spinach was popularized as healthy food by Popeye.

Not to be nitpicky, but Dreams of Spring would have been the last book, so he still has to finish two novels.

He has already said that he doesn’t want someone else to finish the books. I could also see him as the type of guy who lets his unfinished manuscript be destroyed after his death.

Garland is a great scriptwriter and director. This could turn out to be good. Judging by Annihilation, which is barely the same story as the book it was adapting, I could see him doing a completely new story within the world of the game.

He paid more for a social media platform than for a country.

The Doctor doesn’t really wear eccentric clothes, he’s just completely fed up with trying to be accommodating to the period he’s in. He’s a very very old person after all.

It’s Russia 2.0, with Trump playing the Yeltzin role after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The goal is an autocratic oligarchy.
