The conservative political machine runs on human sacrifice and the promise it will turn off when no longer needed. A system enforced by violence and fear cannot be spun down. The media and political elite know this, they're cowards hoping the machine breaks before they're fed to it.

My newest painting by @mmschill.bsky.social has arrived and looks amazing!

Talked briefly to @jessejerdak.bsky.social at #gencon and can confirm he’s an awesome dude.

Howard, thank you so much for the review!

Gen Con: I acquired a starter set of "Zynvaded," a tabletop miniatures game from "We Have Issues! Publishing." The story: alien probe crash-lands on Earth, and sends back data. The aliens think we look like easy picking, but uh-oh, the probe crashed in a game store. We're actually taller than that.

Really says something for the state of journalism in America when a John Cena Idris Elba action comedy articulates the threat of jingoistic white supremacy in America better than the news.

HUNT THE STARS is amazing and I want everyone to know it. Here are 5 free copies for US Kindle owners. www.amazon.com/kindle/redee... www.amazon.com/kindle/redee... www.amazon.com/kindle/redee... www.amazon.com/kindle/redee... www.amazon.com/kindle/redee...

I get asked pretty often for subtle pride stuff, but subtle is not my wheelhouse so this is likely your one chance - I misjudged my filament on the pink/blue color shift and decided to finish off with sparkly white. I probably won’t make more so snag it quick! measuredandslow.studio/shop/aumyiin...

The penguins of Heard Island deserve better than "Other countries".

I can't watch WoT S3E7 until tomorrow night and not looking at the Discord chat is tough!

Excited to teach my kid why my ancestors boiled the shit out of everything.

My grandparents were farmers in Iowa and my mom joined the military at 18 to gtfo. Single family farms are one of the biggest myths around and that shit is absolutely unforgiving.

Stocks down measles up! That's the way we know we're hold on I'm being handed a C&D.

This. They're not nostalgic for the factory. They're frustrated that--unlike their parents/grandparents--they can't afford to live in a "nice" house in a "nice" neighborhood, get married, raise kids on one income, and retire comfortably at 65 *unless* they also take on mountains of student loan debt

The dumbest fucking people in the world just imposed economic sanctions against the country they were put in charge of and I still have to go to work like everything is normal. Seems unfair tbh.

Absolutely love being ruled by these booger eating ding dongs.

Well I don't fuckin' feel liberated I tell ya that.

Cory Booker is on the Senate Floor naming every member of the Black Ajah.

When Booker finishes I hope he walks up to Schumer and says, “Qab jIH nagil.”

Friends! Bree & Donna do so much for everyone, and are bright lights in #Romancelandia and beyond, let's be sure their next month is spectacular! Their shop is full of so many wondrous things! 💖

HI Y'ALL!!!! Donna & I really could use a little help getting through the next month so I'm doing a 20% off EVERYTHING IN THE SHOP sale for the next 72 hours! Fidgets! Gaming stuff! Book boxes! Little guys! thebrokencircle.etsy.com

This is the new “Are we the baddies?”

KHORNE CARES NOT FROM WHENCE THE BLOOD FLOWS

War Thunder players: I’m right and here are the state secrets that prove it! SecDef: Hold my liquid lunch.

I can tell when @gailsimone.bsky.social has made a great post because my block button gets a workout.

Schlock Mercenary by @howardtayler.bsky.social is one of the greatest webcomics and sci-fi epics I’ve read. You can back book 19 now and pick up the first 18! in the store if you don’t have them yet. kck.st/4kVyDom.

I wish Republicans were playing 4D chess because then it wouldn’t feel like Schumer was getting outplayed at Tiddlywinks.

We can upload 3 minute videos now. YOU KNOW THE RULE

One thing they don’t tell you about getting older is how much getting sick hurts. When you’re 18 you blow your nose and off you go. 40s and every joint and muscle tells me everything that ever happened to it.

One day boycotts aren't about sending a message to the business. It's about teaching people there are alternatives to the megacorps and how to use them, turning a one day boycott into a permanent one.

Sounds like a man who doesn’t understand that replacing a world where power can be bought for a world where it must be taken does not favor someone with no actual wealth and the personality of 3am cat vomit.

Billionaire destroys country because one of his IVF children wasn't male is a plot you couldn't sell.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

I gotta admit, seeing this level of open corruption goes a long way towards explaining why the Imperial stormtroopers' gear in Star Wars turned out to be completely useless the first time some stone-age teddy bears started throwing hands.

Once again worth noting that the Pope took time out of his busy schedule poping to call Vance a piece of shit.

The greatest Disney superhero was Cobra Bubbles. He saved the Earth twice with the power of bureaucracy, suffering minimal property damage and no loss of life.

Limited, sign and numbered, fine art prints of Tengu Maid is available. $40 each, plus shipping. ❤️❤️❤️

Members of Congress who say they won't stand up to Trump and Musk out of fear are perfectly fine with 9 year olds going through active shooter drills in school.

Called both of my Senators and asked how they were doing their job and what I was paying them for if Elon Musk has the power to turn off the Treasury. The staffers sounded overloaded and one accidentally admitted that Congress is responsible for passing laws and distributing money.

With big thanks to @guillotine.agency I'm live with an early look at Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap, with 3 copies to give away! I love these games, they are wonderful, silly, nonsensical, 3D tower defence and a lot of fun with chums. Come see if the orcs do, in fact, die - twithch.tv/jaybritton

Truly stunning just how shitty Amazon has made their Prime streaming with ads every 5 minutes.

in celebration of Tom Holland and Zendaya’s engagement, please enjoy this moment from 2017 when she turned into a literal 😍 emoji and we all knew it was for keeps

The first headline I saw I thought it was just a normal Tesla explosion and it’s just getting wilder and wilder. apnews.com/article/trum...

Unflavored yogurt is the devil's playground.

Looks like he's about to help stop an asteroid the size of Texas against his will.

we’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure out How Trump Won and the answer is simply that we live in a country where people think the moon is a government drone

Siri, define venereal disease.

I have a lot of Stonekettle pens and they're all beautiful and functional.

HER, FLIRTING: *Spins a bottle* ME, TRYING TO BUILD A MINIATURE SHIP: Oh no
