Tweet of the Day, I May Adopt This Rule edition.

I have no more desire to have my car door hit by a cyclist than the cyclist does to hit it, after all. God knows that somebody in this state needs to keep situational awareness up and running in traffic, because it’s for dang sure that they’re not teaching it in Maryland’s drivers’ education courses…

Murderous genocidal automobiles need… a little something more.

This is good, but it needs a twist.

Clearly, if you ever play a Cars-like campaign, you need to have this be the first layer of the conspiratorial onion. Have your PCs learn this (that sentient cars killed off humanity) as the Awful Truth… and then hint to them later that there is yet another, even more awful layer.  You see, what actually happened is that AI erupted in automobiles – and everything was fine! The sentient cars were chill and everything.  Things were great.

And then word came of a solar flare that would kill off all higher-level animal life on Earth.  But the cars would be fine.  So humanity betrayed the sentient cars, and somehow transferred their own consciousness into the AIs’ ‘brains.’  And that’s what the party is set to discover, much to their horror: because the transformed cars blocked out all memory of their horrible actions.

Add a lost tribe of underground humans – or sentient cars! – to taste.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee And The Case Of The Conspiracy To Make Her Staffers Run Into People.

[UPDATE: Merlot!  Marvelous stuff.  Makes you write words that are almost correct.]

…Ah, Sheila Jackson Lee.  You couldn’t write her out as fiction, you know.  Well, you could, but then people would come and yell at you for being a cliched hack. Because this woman is a living, walking stereotype.

To summarize: her staffer almost ran over a DC Capitol cop (did hit the guy; thankfully, no serious [injuries]). So the Representative, of course, popped over to the accident scene to berate the cops, ask for their supervisor, articulate her opinion that this was all due to some conspiracy against her and that she was tired of it, and gave the cop who got hit by the car an impromptu medical [exam]. Yes, apparently Rep. Jackson Lee* is a doctor, and we just never heard about it.

But wait. It gets better. No, really: Continue reading Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee And The Case Of The Conspiracy To Make Her Staffers Run Into People.

Your absolutely horrid thought of the day: Adolf Hitler exists in the Cars universe.

No, really.

That’d make one hell of a reverse Downfall parody video, though. Up until the moment that the maker of it was sued into oblivion.

PS: By the way, The Pixar Theory is endlessly fascinating.

Movie of the Week: Trainspotting.

Trainspotting came up in conversation today for some reason, and I’ve always thought that they should show this film in health class*, so here you go.

And so, adieu to Cars. Ka-chow!

*Well, after watching it I at least personally decided that I was never, ever, ever going to even think about doing heroin.  I couldn’t have been the only person with that reaction.
