The cat is simply hanging out next to me and purring. It's suspicious.

Debating on whether the Empire in Warhammer would have units of infantry separated into missile units and melee units, or if they would play off the old detatchment idea and have integrated infantry units with both melee and ranged, in a sort of proto-pike & shot formation.

There is a fair amount of overlap between class and race in the United States, but OP is not completely off base here. Capitalism in the United States relies on racism to help prop up some of its worst methods of exploitation, but you can't dismantle capitalism without also dealing with racism.

A huge percentage of people in media who are obsessed with "the working class" never interact with the lower classes on an equal footing on a regular basis.

people online:"the founding fathers were evil because of slave-" Actual Democratic-Republicans in the 1790s: KILL GEORGE WASHINGTON

Not a huge El-Sayed guy (mostly due to not paying close attention to the race than any antipathy towards him), but I'm not sure that reminding people someone was telling unpopular truths a decade ago is the best line of attack.

Donating to political campaigns remains a marker of being wealthy, even if we classify the donations as small.

Ahead of England v Norway in the World Cup, enjoy this classic from my old pal Patrick Kidd in The Times

Modern Fiume fucking sucks. At least D'Annunzio had some style.

Statting out my Warmaster Goblins for Midgard, and this army simultaneously looks like a lot of fun, and also appears to be truly abysmal.

Count Binface mini is done! Now I just have to decide what to do for his base... @countbinface.bsky.social

I was wrong. I admit it. I have yet to burst into flames, either! Weird.

I was absolutely wrong about Graham Platner staying in, which means either Democrats successfully bribed him, or he's even more bitchmade than I previously believed.

Alright it’s Friday and I have news

Chili and melted cheddar or American cheese. Skyline sauce also works, if that's what to hand.

I talked to Mitch McConnell earlier today. I don't know what you all are talking about.

lol before it's even begun. Palestinian resistance began in 2023. Tell everyone about this new and fascinating change to the world landscape.

Thoughts on the July basho: 1) I think Onosato is gonna bounce back, but I'm not as sure of it as I am with Hoshoryu. 2) I want Kotozakura to get back to his regular form, as he's a ton of fun to watch when he's cooking. 3) I think Yoshinofuji is gonna come down to earth a bit.

Damned Puritans and their unforgiving "don't be a Nazi rapist" bullshit.

Just straight up demanding Iranians be made into war sacrifices for his funeral, like an Aztec king.

This is true and a decent way to look at it, however, the job of "hard-working honest <anything>" sucks and pays below-market while the job of "lazy corrupt <anything>" is awesome and lucrative.

i once said this to a kid who missed a fly ball at mets* game *tbf there is always lots of crying at mets games** **i was only at the game because my friend was dating jeromy burnitz*** ***we got jeromy to give the kid another ball i am not a monster**** ****mostly

And to be frank, in my work I periodically encounter friends and family members of clients who can't be objective about the evidence against their loved ones. They cling to bits and pieces of evidence that they convince themselves break the whole case wide open, then refuse to see the big picture

There's this really weird take that passing bills that last maybe two years and completely fail at all of their stated objectives is meaningful and I don't get it.

An account with this avatar was just blocked.

Until California promises that in the event of an attempted invasion or overthrow of the Canadian state, it will side with Canada and wage war against the Trump regime, it's just more quietly in favor.

BRB, traveling back to 1942 and showing the Allied bomber command a map of German voters in the 1932-33 elections, so they know which areas are acceptable targets for raids and which aren't.

If you think any rape can be described as "lite-rape" then you're a rapist in my book. Like you may not have raped someone yet, but you're definitely gunna.

Now for a tough thing to do: making Midgard lists for my Warmaster stuff.

Rookie mistake. Can’t give Orange Man shit. He’ll just pocket it and call you a sucker. You’d think Replacement Iranian would’ve learned that from scraping his old man off the walls with a spatula after Pop tried to negotiate.

I think this pretty much says everything we need to know about Mr Weaver's character, and what acceptable outcomes should be for him.

There's way too many people, including a lot of anti-Platner types, who are revealing themselves to just be campists by attempting to pass the buck to a faction they don't like and it makes you look like enormous fucking clowns

It was not the progressive left that was behind this, but a collection of reactionary populists who desperately want revenge against the party for being what it is, and who would sacrifice anything or anyone except themselves to get it. You know the type, Ross. You see one in the mirror each day.

Impressive chart. Always love how "the Democratic Party is full of weaklings and crooks who do not care about their constituents" can be brushed off as saying "the right doesn't have agency." Both Democrats and Republicans have agency! That's a big reason things are so bad right now.

My message to them

I'm sure that the oldest, whitest, state in the country, which has been turned into a quiet woodland tomb for the majority of the populace, will get right on the "doing something" plan.

*meredith brooks voice* im a mitch im mcconnell i help trump comma donald ive a turtle for a head im probably really dead

Worth remembering that it took a *two* women being forced to come forwards to tell about their horrible experiences of rape and domestic violence with Platner, and both of them being attacked non-stop for doing so, before people hesitantly stepped away from their support for him.

Here lie the Orioles. They never scored.

I'm sure that this time doing some marches and candlelight vigils will get the ICE employee who killed an innocent to face some consequences. It has to work eventually, right?

The reddit posts were out there and considering the rank silence of the people who served alongside him I would say we're probably all spared some truly grisly anecdotes about Mr. Platner's conduct that didn't make it to the reddit posts

He's a war criminal and rapist, little more than trash to be sent to the incinerator, and the people who boosted him despite the obvious signs that he was exactly who he's turned out to be are little better. You want to not be called trash and not be treated with justified contempt? Be better.

I thought Bryce Harper was a shitty person since back when he played for the Nationals. I still remember laughing my ass off why Cole Hamels beaned him for it.

"Gambling should be a Grey market activity" No, it should be illegal. What benefit do these parasites in the gambling industry bestow with their continued existence?
