I'm going to try to do this cleanly. Today's right wing governments are networked to each other. Those networks are well-documented. You can read about them in books. Following the elections in one node of that network is good practice for understanding the U.S. node.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

#nowspinning Jess By the Lake - Human Good grooves here. #vinyl #jessbythelake #psychrock #Discogs

WHY ARE PEOPLE AI-GENERATING RECTANGULAR SIGNS WITH TEXT ON THEM

Just a few pages in & I am enthralled. Thank you Tressie for sharing.

This isn’t insightful but almost every time that I open the Netflix app it’s an accident and nothing there *looks* like a show. All the thumbnails look like ads for a phone game.

Next week running "Don't Wake the Giant" for the Central Valley #Mordheim League. Got this guy all done up to wallop some thieves. #warhammer #miniatures

Go read @seannittner.bsky.social experience of coming out to Merced to play in our humble #Mordheim league.

I am DONE with hearing about how to "revolutionize teaching" from people who haven't set foot in a classroom. It's our turn to talk.

From this Thursday 23 Oct 2026 – 4 Apr 2027, the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague is presenting the "Gnostic cartoon PickNick", 'HALLUCINATE, CHILDREN', an exhibition of the work of musician, artist, poet and publisher David Tibet of Current 93 wyrdbritain.blogspot.com/2026/10/news...

Next week running "Don't Wake the Giant" for the Central Valley #Mordheim League. Got this guy all done up to wallop some thieves. #warhammer #miniatures

Got a visit from @seannittner.bsky.social to see what our Central Valley #Mordheim League is all about. Absolute blast with some old school miniature watgaming. Sean fell in love with a Middenheimer named Arnora. #miniatures #warhammer

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

#nowspinning Forest Temple - Yolk of Blue Memory More album covers need to have school notebook doodles on the cover. #vinyl #foresttemple #dungeonsynth #Discogs

May Jorn Marco live on with his red beanie and bow

#nowspinning Alice in Chains - Unplugged Remember how big these unplugged sessions were? #vinyl #aliceinchains #rock #Discogs

Does working in the TSR Product Group at WotC count? :)

The Central Valley #Mordheim League Fall is underway! Trying some new boards & scenarios out. #miniatures #warhammer

#FirstSpinFriday Old Sorcery - The Lost Grimoire So weird & lovely. #vinyl #oldsorcery #dungeonsynth #Discogs

#nowspinning Twin Temple - Doomed Lovers Fun live show. Production on this is phenomenal. Just needs a more solid ethos. #vinyl #twintemple #doowop #Discogs

#FirstSpinFriday Frozen Crown - The Legend of the Six Kings Always like what this band drops. Very solid power metal. #vinyl #frozencrown #powermetal #Discogs

On the train to play Mordheim with @onlyplaywizards.com. I’ve got some good reading to keep me company.

This was such a great answer from Abdul El-Sayed about his previous criticisms of President Obama.

Finish.

Kicked off the Central Valley Mordheim League Fall 2026 yesterday. Trying a new board layout with this sweet castle I picked up over summer. Do enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLn-... #mordheim #warhammer #miniatures #wargames

Belated WIP

There are a lot of Americans that want to shoot other Americans. This will only encourage more steps towards realizing that.

#nowspinning Ann Wilson & Tripsitter - Consecrated Ground Immaculate vibes here. #vinyl #annwilsonandtripsitter #rock #Discogs

No contest. The Sisters of Mercy - Jolene www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvcD...

Got the base of my Dark Elves for #Mordheim painted & ready. Went for a 3rd Edition 40K Dark Eldar scheme. The Cold Ones came out great. #miniatures #warhammer

New starting lineup for the Charlotte Hornets! Honestly really happy with this color scheme for the Dark Elf corsairs. Question is whether my warband will be able to afford them. #mordheim #miniatures #warhammer
