The legislative equivalent of Dems getting any of this would be Republicans getting Dem majorities to agree to roll back ACA provisions in 2012 and Barack Obama signing the bill That is something Mitch McConnell was unable to do with majorities in both chambers and a Republican president

I painted up the new Captain Titus. After reading about his adventures in the War for Novamangor, I just had to prioritize him! And luckily, he's a surprisingly fun mini to paint. #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #spacemarines #ultramarines #captaintitus #goonhammer

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

Posting some minis because this site needs more mini pictures. This is my Acastus Knight Porphyrion, sworn to the Lord Macragge and the Thirteenth Legion from the Great Crusade to the Ultramarian Reclamation. #warhammercommunity #paintedminis #warhammer40K #ultramarines

I took a look at the story behind the new 500 Worlds campaign, a de facto sequel to Guy Haley's Dark Imperium novels. This time it stars Captain Titus!

IMHO, both Jeffries and Schumer have been effective minority leaders. (Schumer has already proved himself in the majority.) If your definition of effective leader is someone who channels your justified & righteous anger, you're going to have to wait (again, my opinion) for the Democratic primary.

This is really gross.

Confused which wargaming convention you should go to? Well, @ragnarokangel.bsky.social and I are here to help!

On the Venezuela thing. Americans, historically, greatly prefer to have a plausible altruistic (or self-defense) cover story for our military actions. Saying the "fork over the oil" normally quiet part so extremely loud does not appeal to that.

"I'm not mad. Please don't post in the United States Reports that I'm mad." Trump v Illinois, 607 U.S. ______, slip op. at 6-7 n. 4 (2025)(Kavanaugh, J, whining)

Mark Kelly here from another burner phone, I got your number motherfucker - you think you can just keep blocking me lol?

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Getting a start on my Chaos Space Marines Combat Patrol!

Connie discusses the economics of the board game industry, and what Trump, Elon, and DOGE has wrought on good government.

YOU GUYS WANNA SEE SOMETHING CURSED???? HOW ABOUT NEON GENESIS LEHIGH VALLEY PHANTOMS HOCKEY?????

Yeah I mean this is all you really can say. It’s all grotesque and insane but the Trump GOP is getting to the point where they CAN’T win anything. Even if they get what they want it makes things worse for them! We’re all hostages to it but nevertheless. They’re kind of screwed!

Schumer is quite good at politics, even if saying that sends this site into a frothing rage.

Long live the jury trial in America.

There’s a lot of people who claim to be really into politics but who are actually really into being righteously angry, and they’re pretty shitty sources of information. Anger is addictive and makes you stupid, try to limit it.

The people around Donald Trump are taking advantage of his diminished capacity to break the law. Whatever they do now, we won’t forget — and we will hold them accountable.

To that guy… I hope you never find yourself in a situation where you or your loved ones are seriously injured and getting the run around from a liability carrier. The biggest source of frivolous litigation is insurance companies refusing to pay legitimate claims. Ambulance chasing my ass.

Salsa and I attended the NoVa Open Wargaming Convention in D.C. over Labor Day Weekend. How did it go? Find out!

I picked up the Joytoy House Teyrrn Knight. See the pictures I took and my thoughts on this big guy. Salsa also makes an appearance.

It’s not simply important to denounce political violence because it looks bad not to. It’s the right thing to do on the merits. Even more specifically to this moment it’s important because the forces of fascism are inherently better at political violence than the forces of civic democracy.

I don’t love that you need to skim the 40k wiki to understand political discourse on this site. lot of choices that brought us to this moment

@justkauz.bsky.social made this and I have to share

Remember that you’re goddamned Americans and they AREN’T in fact allowed to do that to you. Even if accountability takes time.

An ill-advised late night posting session with @goobermunch.bsky.social and @questauthority.bsky.social resulted in me getting to review Combat Patrol Magazine for @goonhammer.com, and now I have finished both the Space Marine and Tyranid Combat Patrols. #warhammercommunity #minipainting

I don’t think a Star Trek episode should start with a recap unless it concludes with Majel Barrett saying “and now, the conclusion”

My philosophy on picking hobby classes at wargaming conventions, and why I picked the classes (and events) at the LVO that I did.

My con roommate Alice is also back on the Road to LVO!

We look at the latest issue of Combat Patrol, which has Tyranids and Space Marines facing off in a new scenario called Bring it Down.

look, all this talk about the ideological horseshoe, and it's pretty simple: resentment is an inherently rightwing emotion. generosity of spirit is the opposite. everyone who cultivates negative engagement online? the former. that's all.

The new issue of Combat Patrol Magazine review!! Thrill at the power and coverage of Mephiston Red.

remembering the literal best post ever

I screwed up and reviewed Issues 14, 15, and 13 out of order. Here's Issue #13 and the big Leviathan Terminators!

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

And you *absolutely* need to not yell at other people for not having a panic attack. Despair and anxiety are contagious diseases, don't go around coughing all over other people.

Okay, there are several left and left-liberal publications spamming my inbox with some equivalent of, "YOU MUST REMAIN MAXIMALLY AFRAID" and I swear, three and a half years of this sort of thing and there *will* be excess heart attacks even if university-educated left- liberals do get better cardio.

Contemptor Kevin has gotten his hands on Issue 12 of Combat Patrol; the one about Battle-shock.

I painted Archaeon the Everchosen because I wanted to paint something different and chaos, as opposed to my Tyranids and Space Wolves. #archaeon #everchosen #chaos #ageofsigmar #paintingwarhammer #nerdlings #warhammercommunity #slavestodarkness

You know why I love my America in spite of [gestures around at all this]? In the mid 1860s, i.e., peak racism age in the western world, we wrote equal protection under the law into our Constitution.

"Better things aren't possible" has never been the truth.
