If you have an interest in Medievalism, and its impact/presence in TTRPG's this video is a GREAT deep dive with a bunch of experts that I was lucky enough to be invited too. #History #TTRPG #Nerdling youtu.be/-Yeb9jQZPzQ?...

i was on a podcast about medieval history, medievalism, and tabletop roleplaying games with @thebeardedhalfling.bsky.social @orolando.bsky.social and @skiesoffortune.bsky.social ! check it out at www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Yeb..., hope you enjoy!

if the world wasn't on fire we would be studying this guy on a petri dish to understand how it is even possible to generate an anti charisma field of this magnitude, he might be the first mutant

God I hate this genre. These kids who protested Gaza got arrested, expelled, beaten up, doxxed, lives ruined by outside agitators and were utterly betrayed by the administrations that should have protected them at any cost. Shut the fuck up.

There's something a bit poignant about a Bluetooth device failing to connect to another device right next to it when they're the only Bluetooth devices for hundreds of thousands of kilometres around.

This also goes for TTRPG supplements and works. We're all creatives here. I don't care how "woe is artless me" you think you think you are. We're all fighting the same battles here.

OGRE CAMPAIGNING ON PLATFORM OF INCLUSION, INCREASED SOCIAL SPENDING, AND CRUNCHING BONES OF BILLIONAIRES

the overwhelming and unfortunate truth is that high level uni admins are run by business school dropouts and people who couldn't hack it in "real" business. Its no wonder that when they try to run the university "like a business" they're no good at that either!

what if i said that the "matriarchy" myth is a colonial construction used to justify eurocolonial patriarchy ("agrarian matriarchies evolve into industrial patriarchies") and the egalitarian indigenous political formations that existed simply had a weak-to-irrelevant gendered division of labour

this is so comically hamhanded it has a real chance of boosting Kat over the finish line in what is an incredibly close primary there’s a lot of bad money floating around elections but some of it is very stupid

Lgbtq+ rights are a winning issue. The queer community are a major pillar of the democratic base. The democrats Abandoning them would do nothing but ensure a republican victory.

The wizard eats some pretzels.

Quick question does anyone know how to restore virtue to a decaying society

The little cat steps on the wizard's head, waking him up. He goes to make waffles with passionfruit jam and put some fish out for the little cat. As he makes tea, the air fills with the smell of parchment. The wizard reads the new issue of Magic-Users Weekly as he eats his breakfast.

The funniest thing about modern AI-powered Google Translate is that it will interpret any fake-sounding Latin

When you stare into a manuscript and the manuscript stares into you

If 4,000 coal miners had to move we literally would never hear the end of it

was epstein uniquely responsible for evil or is he just the one obscenely wealthy person whose emails we're getting to read

I find takes like this unsatisfying because they ignore the point of the Nazi analogy. It's not about denying America's history of racist terror. "Nazi" is not just code for "bad but in a way that specifically doesn't implicate US antecedents." www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/26/o...

This was just me making this comparison yesterday, but today the Korean news is calling Minnesota "America's Gwangju" and have human rights lawyers explaining how America is now living through the dictatorship Korea once had.

We’re airing a new campaign ad, starting tomorrow. Here it is:

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

THREE lullabies in an ancient tongue? they don't even know how to sing one! open the schools

a sad fact we have to accept is kids these days don't know how to summon back the fire witch to the court of the crimson king

with the new expansion, i had to finally formalize this presenting the first roleplaying game to use Hearts of Iron 4 as a resolution system to properly model fascist dysfunction it is not cooperative or competitive, but a secret third thing docs.google.com/document/d/1...

as a white liberal with Southern roots, quite frankly, I think other white liberals from the South need to get the fuck over their oddly defensive attitude about what should be pretty blindingly obvious.

Sire! A conspiracy is afoot Sire! A conspiracy is afoot Sire! A conspiracy is afoot [YOU HAVE BEEN USURPED. PRESS ENTER TO BEGIN YOUR REIGN ANEW]

hilarious to get a package stolen off your porch when that package was a copy of the English translation of Marie de France's Travels of St Patrick. Some porch pirate is trying to figure out what the hell to do with this medieval lit they took

I think the paywall has been a disaster by now

BREAKING: 2,300 home healthcare workers in Nevada are unionizing with @seiu.org.

There is a type of guy who commits crimes like this, and that type is almost never "orthodox marxist-leninist attempting to be the vanguard of a revolutionary movement". Much more common for it to be a "looked at computer too much" guy

Just saw a video of Bill Maher calling Mamdani a “straight up communist” and I continue to be struck by the depiction of policies associated with the New Deal Order as far-left extremism, which goes along with a refusal to depict Trump’s unprecedented authoritarian actions as far-right extremism.

I would have loved to see ian chew on some gilroy dialogue

Never in my goddamn life have I wanted to repost a fucking Instagram post

you can always tell if someone's politics are secretly evil by how they portray the French revolution and French revolutionaries

...You're welcome...??

A hugely underdiscussed effect of the creeping fascism of ICE is that debt collectors and landlords are filing more cases against immigrants, even when they're inflated or outright falsified, because they know immigrants are too fearful of deportation to show up to court to fight them.

"Playing shit reminded me why I like fart"

I'm trying to think about how I would have reacted if shown this headline five years ago

my favorite part about self described centrists is that in polls they consistently like bernie sanders more than any other politician even though he’s left wing. they genuinely think beint centrist is all about being anti-establishment and is all vibes

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Because their campaigns aren’t entirely built on the legacy of their last name

"People misinterpret my money as speech, when it was only a bribe." Another stirring defense of Citizen's United.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

BRUTAL

This image is now absolutely everywhere over European media lmao

this is the most one-sided two-option poll i can remember seeing. you could probably get 10 percent of americans to respond that installing your air conditioner backwards so that cold air blows outside will fix the environment
