I did the promo art for this year's KSAGG. An event held by the Minnesota Battletech group and Wolfnet Radio podcast. I think the piece turned out pretty great; if I say so myself. Check them out here: wolfsdragoons.com/ksagg And podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... #battletech #mechwarrior

It's time to talk to you about my cat.

This is hilarious. And also very frightening. And also so absurdly funny you'll forget why it's frightening.

The enemy is always aristocracy. It changes shape to fit whatever society we’re in, but the desire for it is endemic for certain types of people. You must learn to hate it as much as it hates you.

The true Gen X reaction to being lauded as the "greatest generation" would be to narrow its eyes suspiciously and mutter "whatever" when asked about it (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/t...

I'm continuing my series of comfort watch movies on Whatever, and today I'm essaying Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, and 19th Century Sailing life, which I am happy to view and not to live: whatever.scalzi.com/2025/12/02/t...

MechWarrior 5: Clans is about to enter the biggest, most consequential battle of BattleTech history in Wolves of Tukayyid. I spoke with Narrative Director Chris Lowrey to find out what's coming. #MechWarrior5Clans #MW5Clans www.sarna.net/news/mw5-cla...

this book banning shit is *infuriating* to me, not only as a writer and a human being, but as a parent. I do not give a tiny rat’s ass what you allow or don’t allow your own kids to read. but how fucking dare you decide what MY kid gets to have access to. parent your own kids, you loser weirdos!!!

Got super lucky to see the platypus being fed at the San Diego Safari Park.

I can’t believe I reached Infinite in Marvel Snap right at the last possible moment and got the Infinite card back immediately before the season reset. What a ride. Thanks Moira X Destroy deck.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

Oh @rianjohnson.bsky.social played all innocent "I'm not doing a muppet thing with Knives Out" he knew HE KNEW

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Brief recap: On Friday, the WaPo reported that SecDef Hegseth personally ordered the execution of helpless survivors of a military attack, literally the definition of a war crime. Since then, no other outlet has been to able to replicate that reporting, even though they’d love to. (1/2)

Over on Whatever, I'm doing a series on movies I consider "Comfort Watches" - not the greatest movies of all time, necessarily, but some of the most rewatchable. I'm starting the series with easily the most rewatchable movie of 2025: K-Pop Demon Hunters! whatever.scalzi.com/2025/12/01/t...

As Promised: part 1 Least functional kitchen ever !

"The halls of the Pentagon are apparently strewn with rakes these days, and Hegseth has managed to step on almost all of them."

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

The wealthy have stolen so much wealth and rigged the system so far that our economy is on the verge of collapse. They’re pushing fascism and dismantling democracy to get at what little remains. We don’t have to live like this. We deserve better. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-game-t...

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans. Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

older gamers aren't mad about wokeness in games. we're mad that DND 4th Edition was jettisoned for the mechanically inferior 5th Edition

"I'm going to tax the everloving shit out of the rich people who made your life miserable and put every masked thug who broke the law or traitor who wrecked the government for their own profit in prison" I admit is too long for a sign, but at the very least this should be the spirit of the thing.

I don’t know a lot. But I know a lot about dinosaurs. Now we all know dinosaurs lived for millions of years right? But does you mind actually wrap around how long they dominated for? Lets get a little perspective. Did you know Allosaurus never saw flowers but T.rex did?

I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic. It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

I love this idea. My dad died when I was three and I had to figure out simple things like how to tie a tie and even shave on my own. Please retweet this because I know there are a lot of kids out there who could use some help with day to day life.

Not only are there a metric buttload of great games in here (Monster of the Week! Blades in the Dark! Thirsty Sword Lesbians!) but if you dig down into the Gate section, in the Worlds in Shadow book you’ll find Crimeworld, which is me puking out Heist and Con 101, for #ttrpg use or whatever you want

James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars. Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.

September 13, 2026 will be the 20th anniversary, in point of fact. For a brief period of time, my cat Ghlaghghee (pronounced "fluffy") was the most famous cat on the Internet. She took it in stride. One of the great moments of the blog era. We should do something for the anniversary. Suggestions?

In October, we promised to donate 2% of our sales for the month to help San Diego County teachers build diverse classroom libraries for their students. With schools being ground zero for book banning across the country, it's more important than ever for everyone-

No. Abolish. Fire. Prosecute. This is the *moderate* position.

I really don't like anything about D&D's alignment system, but I appreciate its power as a shorthand, and I'd love to do something that could work similarly, and this is a swing at that. walkingmind.evilhat.com/2025/11/23/o...
