Ppl who are not Venezuelan listen up: You will start hearing stuff about Venezuelans wanting this or participating or something. These are deranged claims. Make no mistake, the Venezuelan govt is corrupt and evil but this isn't it. This is just more evil happening on my country that helps no one.

Memorable Games of 2025 #4: Agincourt. Originally, we’d been planning Lewes 1264 for The Other Partizan, but it became clear that we weren’t going to be ready in time. Fortunately Scrivs had a huge Agincourt collection… #wargaming #nerdlings #miniatures #spreadthelard

My brother’s sitting with a friend at a window table in a pub in Oxford. Friend says “Was that Brian Blessed in the street?” And then, right by the window: “YES IT’S ME, BRIAN BLESSED! BWAH HA HA HA!”. And then RAN away.

Pure whim. I’ve answered this question a number of times over the years, and the answer has always been the same: Some images in my head “feel” like oil paintings, others in acrylics. That’s the truth, though I don’t expect anyone to believe it. I can amend that just a bit here though. 1/2

What influences your decision to work in oils or acrylics?

I am praying for the families of the two Iowa National Guard soldiers who were killed in Syria today. Every Iowan is indebted to these brave heroes who sacrificed their lives to protect and defend our freedoms.

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites. He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him. www.wsj.com/world/china/...

I'm searching Getty Images and found some photos credited to the Boston Herald that redact the faces of ICE/federal agents. They don't redact the face of the guy they're arresting. I'm curious about the ethics of doing this. I don't think I've ever seen this on Getty before.

This ballroom not only marks the destruction of a historic landmark — it's also creating a monument to corruption in our country, as massive corporations & the ultra-wealthy have donated millions to build the ballroom & buy Trump's favor. We need to put a stop to this entire corrupt enterprise.

Played my first game of D&D in ‘88. I am happy to report that I’m in a session with a bunch of old friends and am entering the Caverns of Thracia for the first time in my life.

KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action. Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?

Replying to @anamariecox.com

We fell off the subsidy cliff. We went from just under $1000 a month for a family of three for an average plan to a much worse plan for a family of three for just under $2200 a month.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Multiple accounts on ICE Watch Facebook pages are reporting that agents pulled a couple out of their vehicle in Aurora, Illinois, arrested them, and then abandoned the couple’s toddler in the backseat.
