Played Battle Commander Volume 1, the Intro scenario, which is the Battle of Montebello for just 4 turns. We completed turn 1 for today. @soundofdrumsgames.bsky.social #wargames #Napoleon #consim

Playing again in the 3.5 home brew. Barbarian, cleric, and sorcerer exploring the Accursed Basin.

This video of a Ukrainian Yak-52 crew taking down drones with a shotgun is incredible, but the music is deeply, and profoundly inappropriate. There was really only one option. So I've fixed it.

Robots are writing code and your website is asking me to verify that I am a human? 🤷

Received the official box and the OST cassette tape by Bong Coffin @raptorshadow.bsky.social. All the components are assembled for Ninja Borg. Now to meditate, wail on my guitar, and give thanks to @ninjaborg.com. #NinjaBorg #ttrpg

calls for “viewpoint diversity” are little more than demands for a quota system for political conservatives who otherwise could not hack it www.aaup.org/academe/issu...

it turns out that you can shoot and kill an idea

i feel like rodney dangerfield would have a lot to work with these days. "guy sold me one of these self driving cars and it left without me. then he said he'd set me up with a model, turned out to be a computer! then my wife and the computer left me in the car"

If you want to buy a cool tote bag and/or stickers (with incredible art by @amandalee.bsky.social) on it, you finally can! Yes, stickers. The people demand it. T-shirts are also available. cottonbureau.com/people/cairn...

The Iran-US ceasefire isn’t going as planned More in today’s newsletter: share.google/MVNpZxFMoYsP...

A diseased and depraved old paedophile raves about committing genocide. Put in this position by truly stupid people who on one hand thought they would own people with pronouns and the other half who thought they would get cheap eggs and milk.

When Dave Arneson purchased some wacky 20-sided dice in London, then later used them for his Blackmoor game, there's no way he even considered someone might be throwing one in space 50+ years later. And talking about the gaming style he co-created.

As November Kelly has pointed out, the weirdest thing about Trumpismo is how the man seethes and rails against a game that is thoroughly rigged in America's favor, because he resents having to pretend to play the game *at all*: pluralistic.net/2026/01/26/i... 1/

Dean Morrissey cover for Dragon 70, February 1983. That may be a full moon peeking out of the clouds, but this feels like a visual reference to the opening lines of Jethro Tull’s “Broadsword”: oldschoolfrp.tumblr.com/post/8126194...

Young CPAC people… oh Fuentes fans.

The next Royal Mail special issue stamps are themed on folklore. They are due out on March 27th. One of the stamps is the water spirit Grindylow, known at a tarn near Coniston, Cumbria (and other places) as Jenny or Jinny Greenteeth. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Any NEUROSIS fans? Just listening to their music last couple days.

Maybe instead of running around filming workout videos for social media, renaming bases, hunting DEI, firing outstanding officers, and fighting to restrict press access, Pete Hegseth should’ve been studying the war in Ukraine to learn something about modern drone warfare.

The most selectively believed-in verse in the conservative catechism is the idea that "incentives matter." 1/

Of course they are.

Had a local X-wing tournament today. 4 rounds of 11 players. Made 4th place. #X-wing #miniatures #TableTopGaming

It's been a month and I am still listening to the Angine de Poitrine on KEXP video. #music #BestThingOnTheInternet

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

Round 4 of X-wing vs First Order.

Round 3 of X-wing against the Separatists. #StarWars #minitures
