Saw a thumbnail of a basketball result and thought it said, "Duke beats Notre Dame Fighting Trash."

#ttrpg (BSH) w/o context "Unconventionally attractive-like Willem Dafoe." "What counters gravel?" “Quality loincloths up there, if you want.” I'll play 'This Monkey's Gone To Heaven.' I'm NOT going to say catfish is delish. "Have you bathed? Most illness is linked to filth." "Stop eating us!"

Inevitable irony: Teacher training materials invariably fail to live up the pedagogical fundamentals that the powers-that-be insist we use in the classroom. Exhibit A: Assessments that do not reveal understanding

Not for the first time, Posobiec equating himself with Nazis.

First time I’ve ever been “cutting edge”—publishing a review a couple days before The Establishment.

Oh, the grand old duke of york He ██████████████████ He ██████████████████ And he ██████████████████

I recently received “The Bomber Mafia” as a birthday gift (heh). It was bad, so bad that I believe it cannot be read as a reliable account of strategic bombing in World War II. In so many ways, it demonstrates the worst tendencies of the “pop history” genre. My review (and latest)⬇️

SEMI-SPOILER for Dunk & Egg Latest episode felt like a tight starting PC history bloated by player handing GM his 5-page tragic, trite backstory about 5 sessions into an RPG campaign. & same player felt like sharing the WHOLE, w/no interruptions in the middle of the 1st arc's final combat scene.

Dunno why Cayden Boozer wasn’t named ‘Wade.’

"Western Civ" and all its emanations are a) an elaborate self-esteem project for educated and semi-educated white people, and b) a lengthy self-exoneration for building the early modern and modern slave-trading networks and empires that are the foundations for 21st-century global systems.

Seems analogous to applying for a Jets head-coaching gig, at the moment.

This is quite possibly the worst thing I have ever seen.

It's troubling that people who occasionally have access to national publications can trumpet an analogy that is exactly opposite of what happened, a comparison that fails on every level. I mean, there are fucking girl victims in both cases, you ignoramuses.

My 13-yo just now, in some video game: "These guardian angels are butt, yo!"

“Friendly neighborhood libertarian”!? The libertarians at my work piss on the toilet seat and don’t flush.

The wife has watched a full super bowl for the first time in her life. Her explanation, "It was mostly inertia."

oh look it's mr massage-with-release

My wife, "Oh the scrawny guy [6'6", 251 lbs] got it!"

My wife on the fumble: "Oh! It's rolling around!"

My wife, describing a sack: "Oh, he got smushed!"

My wife, on seeing Darnold kneeling in the huddle: how does such a short man play pro football?!

#BlackSwordHack w/o context: "2 coins? That treasure map must be legit!" "I'm not afraid of the river either." "To make skelephants?!" "Hugs seem like a bad idea." "Food was expensive!" "Are we *trying* to be heroes?" "I guess every path is gonna be horrifying, so let’s continue toward the splats."

#D&D w/o context "I hurt myself sleeping." "He draws his skimatar." "Kender smell like weasels." "Gonna need some extra mosses and lichens." "Ghosts don't have organs ... do they?" "I left your for 3.5 minutes before you got yourselves stuck in a deadly situation." "We're fighting a woman, guys!"

I mean, sure as nasty a person as Vance has risen nearly to the pinnacle of political success, but at least we can enjoy that his has to eat shit promoting the “cultural trash” that he’s been trying to escape his whole adult life, and probably thought he had finally gotten away from.

#Glaive #TTRPG The kids today managed to dodge two blows when a demon rolls a pair of 1s on its turn, roll two 20s on a disadvantaged bowshot against a fleeing black knight (ruled: horse goes down), and drop three tens in a row for (d10) damage to bring down the knight.

murder, report, &c.

#BlackSwordHack w/o context "I think we let the sex water do its thing?" "I hear the eels in this region are delicious." "They're incense mongers!" "Those the leeches you were talking about?" "Let's be more discerning about the fish we catch." "That's terminal lucidity." "If only I had missiles."

January 2026 #TTRPG activity logged 14 Sessions: 8 GM’d, 6 played; 14 players, 7 co-players & 2 GMs; 5 Systems (Death in Space, Black Sword Hack, Glaive, OSE, 5E); 1 TPK. 11 Minis painted.

Introduced to two nice #TTRPG / #OSR coinages today: • "Game omnivore" from Hexed Press, which I'd portmanteau into "Gamenivore," which is a pretty good description of most POSRs. • "Pack Mule Game" from Valeria Loves, which is more and more of what I run and play.

#d&d w/o context: "I waft toward my nose." "Try lesser orifices first." "'Rogue' is what people call white thieves." "Grapple is shit!" "Sorry, you're an unfortunate casualty." "Seems to be of the lobster family." "I'm not flying to the 2nd floor, that's bullshit!" "Our specialty: doing fuck all."

#minipainting for face-to-face *A Thousand Dead Babies* Black Knight, (Gawainesque) Bear Knight, Spiders, and Torture Equipment, including an iron maiden that reminds me of a dalek and a rack where I missed a surface. Need varnishing. Annual goal on target thanks to snow days.

Woah woah woah, Killmonger was the good guy in *Black Panther*, taking on the British Museum. No, I lost interest when they started focusing on those other people besides him, and didn't finish the film. Why?

A major newspaper publishing guide to help people identify the munitions their government is using against them is a real "Late Republic America" timepeice that future historians will comment on.

When you’ve lost Jonah “Liberal Fascism” Goldberg, obviously the only thing to do is send in the guy who took $50,000 in cash to investigate corruption.

Amazing : Cheez-It family size is only one serving!

#minipainting Spiders look better than real life, black knight worse.

#d&d w/o context "I'm looking for lichen." "I *said* 'take heed, do not desecrate'." "He is a god, why would he be in a puddle?" "He's in a sacredly-induced coma." "Ability to see water currents, *that's* my gift?!" "I am deeply grateful, if I may--" "GIFTS! We accept!" "--ask another favor..."

My wife: "That Sydney Sweeney ... she has a yokel face."

#bsh #osr w/o context "You hate to touch a cockroach at all." "You wanna get frisky...in the sex water?" "I've encountered a bird skull in a cave before." "What are the chances the chirpin' bug is helping us?" "What taxes are for, when insects attack." "How many slots is a baby?" "Almond milk lung!"
