The Daily Dad

Things you might want to know, for May 18, 2023:

• Telltale’s The Expanse Episode 1 Arrives This July — Drummer, Bobbie, and Amos were the most vibrant characters on the show, so building a game around one of them is a no-brainer. And while I grew tired of Telltale’s Walking Dead games, The Wolf Among Us was excellent, which gives me hope for this adaptation.
• How to wank for hours — Now your mom and dad know about edging. Have fun with that.
• StableStudio is Stability AI’s latest commitment to open-source AI
•  Why is it still so hard for us to use the word “rape”?
• Is sick humor dead? — Always Sunny still exists.

• The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – The Wildest Community Creations So Far
• Stop Scrolling: Montana Governor Bans TikTok — I honestly wouldn’t care if TikTok were banned at the federal level… just forcing it off the US app stores would effectively kill it, and you wouldn’t need to place a burden on ISPs or do any invasive data center filtering. But this state-by-state shit is just silly.
• Watch ‘Schoolhouse Rock!’ legends sing ‘Conjunction Junction’ live in the mid-1990s
• How to Cum on a Budget — Fuck cheap girls.
• A history of metaphors for the internet — I still like “surfing” and “web” as separate metaphors; I just wish we could have stopped people mixing them together. (“Surfing the web.”)

• Culinary hack: Unroll store-bought cinnamon rolls to make one giant, gooey masterpiece — This is somehow both heavenly and profoundly evil.
• Doom co-creator John Carmack is headlining a ‘toxic and proud’ sci-fi convention that rails against ‘woke propaganda’ — Oh for fuck’s sake, John. You’re a kajillionaire with the time and intellect to not be a dick… why are you rubbing shoulders with a bunch of delusionally aggrieved little bitches?
• Christopher Lloyd and Christopher Walken in the stage production Macbeth at Lincoln Center — This is just a cool photo. Nothing more.
