My first 5 RPGs 1. D&D white box 2. Chivalry & Sorcery 3. Arduin Grimoire 4. Runequest 5. Chivalry & Sorcery Land of the Rising Sun, which turned into a house system “Ducks under a Rising Sun” with RQ rules & funny animals.

The best time to have set fire to Hitler's Fuck Pad was in 1945. The next best time is now. Seriously, why on earth was this of all things preserved as a monument? The place Hitler went to hang out with his girlfriend and dogs? His personal retreat. Nazism doesn't need a resort/monument combo.

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

I'm internally contextualizing this by meditating on how insane with rage someone arguing we will need to preserve the tacky ballroom for reasons of historicity would make me

At 10:00 AM EDT today in 1962—as the US naval quarantine around Cuba was coming into effect—Commander-in-Chief of Strategic Air Command General Thomas Power ordered all SAC forces to Defense Condition (DEFCON) 2 for the first time ever. All other US armed forces remained at DEFCON 3.

A lot gets blamed on the decline of civil society groups or traditional mass parties but @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com documents how they could exhibit the exact same kinds of political dysfunction that we see today

And for the heck of it, here’s more Muppet miniatures:

On board a flight out of Taoyuan (Taipei), ahead of the typhoon. We are at 29k feet (~8.8k meters) and still surrounded by clouds. 250 miles/400km out. This is a big storm. Turbulence is pretty minor though. #AmFlying

Here's a photo of a helicopter landed on Joanne's 227 foot support yacht that follows around her 290 foot main yacht

Trans voter to @aoc.bsky.social: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that? AOC:

Heather makes a solid point. If you're writing a story about Rahm Emanuel's presidential aspirations and don't mention that his administration as Chicago mayor covered up the police murder of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, you're committing journalism malpractice. Chicagoans remember, believe me.

Morning listening: Albert King, “For the Love of a Woman,” from the LP Lovejoy. I had not heard this song before. Both the album and this track are wonderful. #music #blues

considering... an homage piece

To-do list for SD Mayor Pete and DSD Uncle Frank (and the transition team): - at 1201 rip down the stupid fucking sign, regardless of whether Congress has officially changed the name (not looking good for the 27 NDAA lol) - at 1202 issue orders to rename all the confederate bases back*

I am in Hsinchu, Taiwan, for work. Just had a taxi driver with GPS map on one phone, and stock tickers on another phone, both by the steeering wheel and visible while driving. Yikes.

I haven’t felt great the last couple days so I haven’t painted much Warhammer 40K recently. So here’s a Trans Pride Space Marine! This is one I did a couple weeks ago as a gift that I never posted so as not to spoil the surprise. So here it is now! And remember: Trans rights are human rights!

A very Merry (and Pippin) #TOLKTOBER to all who celebrate

The reason why your corrupt strongman didn't solve all your problems is because you are actually completely wrong about what the problems and are how they should be fixed. And you know why? That's right: because you're dumb.

Do you realize how alarming it is that the Administration is acting as if Elon Musk can decide major wartime decisions based on a contract term? This is exactly why Congress advises and consents on important advisers to the President?

#31DaysofGraves Day 21: Air The Brompton grave of Flight- Sub-Lieutenant Reginald Alexander John Warneford, age 23, posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross. He shot down a Zeppelin but was killed 10 days later in a flying accident, 17 June 1915. More bio at link. www.findagrave.com/memorial/771...

Holy shit this is awesome, now find the dude who stopped it in the first place and yeet them right into the sun.

The easiest way to get a big scoop in journalism is to straight-up steal it from @marisakabas.bsky.social, as we've seen over and over from "respectable" outlets.

Lol. Not seen a better demonstration of 'desire path'

“Let him die”: the repeated phrase of the Sages when brought the case of a man who has become sick with passion for a woman. For me, the story holds important wisdom about whose problem it is when a man desires a certain woman — and it’s not the woman 🙂 (Sanhedrin 75a)

I would like to see the end of the term "vaccine skeptic," to be replaced by "reality denier." These so-called skeptics are actually the most gullible rubes on the planet when it comes to conspiracy nonsense and tech-bro slop; the only thing that makes them skeptical is peer-reviewed evidence.

Today would be a good day for top editors in our major news organizations to call a meeting to announce to their staff that yes, he is a lunatic, and they should report and write accordingly.

NEWSFLASH: Trump appoints Liz Truss as new White House Press Secretary.

I watched Florida taken apart by corrupt rightwing governors who destroyed so much. Oregon might not be perfect, but it has a functional government that has preserved many human rights other states have lost. Please don't take that for granted-- reelect Kotek as governor. Hold fast.

Real America's Voice interviewed a guy at the Trump rally in Ohio who blasted Trump for peddling "lies and garbage." He went so hard on Trump and JD Vance that they cut the interview short.

Just saw an ad for an AI company “Cockroach Labs.” OMG. Who advised these people on a company name? (SAN Francisco Airport, place is covered in AI ads for companies big and small)

Really am entering my bust era, practicing some skin and stubble #nerdlings, #miniaturepainting, #minipainting

Since there is no ALT text, The image shows a church with a round stained glass window, and the 100+ crosses described in the post. Parishioners must walk between the crosses to enter the sanctuary.

In the Billy archive are many originals by the comics artists whose work Lichtenstein plagiarized. Roy is one of the biggest POS in late 20th century art. So naturally the Whitney Museum makes him their hero.

Headline makes it sound like the DCCC spent all their money on hookers and blow and now rent is due but the real reason is Trump and the Republicans are so toxic the DCCC thinks it can compete in districts Trump won by 13-20 points.

“WE WILL BURN THEIR REFINERIES.”

🧵 Attention, Fellow SFF Artists and Authors -- here is my response to Must Read Magazines, after they presented an Asimov's art contract expecting me to waive all Moral Rights and Copyright to my art. And, I would strongly advise the following to my fellow pros…. 1/

Listening to Social Distortion session on Apple Music. This band dates from *1978.* God damn. They are still rocking. #Music #AmListening
