Has anyone of y'all seen the TV show "Taboo"?
Any opinions on it?
I finished the first season a few days ago and I think it was fairly well done.

Never seen it. This is the first time I've even heard about it.

Wow, those certainly look like 4th Edition models. Wasn’t that when Dark Elves were part of Chaos? That would explain the Chaos horses, the Chaos Lord with the funny hat and the Greater Daemon of Tzeentch.

Just out of curiosity:

Without knowing much about the Dark Elves they always looked like Chaos worshipers to me.
Now I learn that they actually were!

How come? And how/why did they stop it? Can someone explain that in a short way? (or link me to some explanation)

All I remember is that on the 4th Ed book a Witch Elf had an icon of Khorne on her hat.

4th edition is well before my time. However, I do remember that in 6th edition in the Storm of Chaos campaign/expansion there was a Dark Elf cult of Slaanesh. Witch Elves seem to fit in quite well with Slaanesh.

If you watch a lot of Tierzoo, one pattern that emerges is that humans are so OP that most of the non-human top tier animals are animals that have adapted to working around and with humanity.

Many pandas are adopting the prestige class, diplomat. Pandas are important for China's soft power. Soft, cuddly power.


While I respect black bears and sloth bears (but not the stuck up sun bears) they have a problem. Both bears (and the sun bears) are being hunted for black market medicinal uses. Their gall bladders are believed to be an aphrodesiac (what isn't an aphrodesiac?) North American Black bears are put down as an rural pests.

No other bear has this kind of diplomatic power, though Asiatic black bears have dipped their toe in the water. Asiatic Black bears are so endangered that South Korea's black bears have rebounded in South Korea due to tireless conversation efforts there. Much props moon bear brothers!



And now for something completely different!

On topic of the Simpson…

How long before we put to the torch all Woody Alle n's DVDs?

The Michael Jackson episode was one of the best classic Simpsons episodes of all times.

The Wizard of Oz is possibly the most iconic and timeless movie of all time. While the rumors that a munchkin actor killed himself on the set were disproven, there was a lot of really really awful stuff that happened on the set that basically led to Judie Garland's psychological breakdown and premature death, but she wasn't the only cast member who endured awful things in connection with Oz.

Should we throw out The Wizard of Oz too? It's a slippery slope to censor artistic works because the people involved were sinful and I'm not 100% Michael Jackson did anything. I am sure enough that I would keep kids away from him, just to be safe. But if i were on a jury I think the allegations against him couldn't be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Unless new information came out damning Michael Jackson irreprably. I don't know, I haven't been paying super close attention.

There is a saying that the American justice system would rather let ten guilty men go free before one innocent man goes to jail. I'm not 100% sure about that philosophy, but I am 100% sure that the Simpsons episode committed no crimes.

Which is the main reason why this thing is totally dumb. Even more if you consider that MJ wasn't even the real singer of the everclassic "Happy birthday Lisa".
