In Role Model, Harris is described as ‘stocky’, ‘pudgy’, having a ‘soft body’ (that was the ‘complete opposite’ of another character with a defined physique) ‘plump’ cheeks that resemble apples, and Harris even jokes about how Troy’s stomach muscles probably exist somewhere on his body too, but are ‘buried’ and not at all visible.

kedreeva : I think that part of what irks me about AI being used even for “small” stuff like meme graphics (aside from all the larger problems obviously) is like…. the time spent on it was part of the humor. “this is a silly inconsequential joke but I had to stop everything and spend 5 minutes making it” was, at least for me, part of the joke.

The same dingbats have also confused him with our old friend Charles Stross (which is deeply funny in all kinds of different ways, but never mind that). So Charlie, too, has had to spell…

Just wanted to pass along that Hadestown is incredible, but the producers of it on Broadway have casted a domestic vi*lence perpetrat*r (Gary Dourdan) and, most recently, a mis*gynistic transph*be (Geno Segers) which compromises the safety of the rest of the cast. It’s so disappointing to see this as much the proshot was so well done.

Fuuuuck that's so disappointing.

dubiousculturalartifact : The new Odyssey adaptation has inevitably gotten people talking about a Muppet version of it, and they’re frequently suggesting Kermit as Odysseus, Miss Piggy as Penelope. I’m sorry but that’s thinking way too small, hear me out: We need to have Miss Piggy as Odysseus , and Kermit as Penelope. Think about it… who’s the more fickle, prideful, warlike one in that…
