Turkeys are a menace. There was a pack that roamed my old neighborhood and hospitalized a runner. I don’t fuck with turkeys.

Epstein is like the evil Forrest Gump, somehow present and responsible for every terrible thing of the last twenty years.

jeffrey epstein being the first domino for the financial crash, video game micro transactions, and Gamergate is making me lose my mind

The one weird upside of AI in my personal life is that it’s encouraged me to start learning how to do more creative writing and graphic design out of pure spite (and to learn the beautiful flaws of being human)

@iwriteok.bsky.social Your Blitz comparison has been knocking around my brain for days. I’ve annoyed my friends and family with it (esp. since I have three vaguely worthless 20th century history degrees). Made this poster in honor of this post to now annoy online people. Keep up the good work man

I hearted this originally because Ta-Nehisi Coates fucking rules, but then I realized *who* posted this and was like, oh damn I’d like to heart this more! You’re already wicked cool, Mr. Mystal.

I think it was @iwriteok.bsky.social who compared this to the Blitz and it’s stuck with me all day. Blind and indiscriminate terror against random civilians is truly a great way of uniting and radicalizing your enemies against you.

I’m a Wisconsinite, but we midwesterners gotta stick together. Made this the other day, glad I can finally post.

I made this a few days ago (based on a WWII poster I have) hoping that I’d get to post this soon. I figure Greggy Boy getting shitcanned is a good enough reason to post it

They came to take the Minnesotan Earth. They left as Napoleon did.

I made this over the weekend and was hoping to post it soon. I feel like @atrupar.com sharing the news that Greg is fleeing with his tail between his legs is good enough.

it's the Blitz all over again, and the Nazis are always surprised when being terrorized doesn't make people give up

I’ve been trying to channel the anger into art this week. I have a poster from Jan 1945 hanging on my wall (and have for years), but decided to update it for Jan 2026. It’s not much. But I hope to get obnoxious with it when those goons finally flee my friends’ city.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:

“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.

This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

The Falconer from BattleTech

By threatening lethal violence, ICE is radicalizing normal people to be anti-ICE and make their voice heard. Might as well go down protesting if they’re going to shoot you in the head anyway

I’ve been thinking a lot about something I learned in my Econ degree long ago. Why don’t you give the death penalty to a shoplifter? Extreme punishments mean minor criminals have no motivation to not do harm to others if the punishment is the same no matter what.

Everything is Rat Race now

I think his office blocked me cause I’ve been calling so much lol

YESSS I’ve gotten into the Lone Wolves recently. Such a fun group

I cracked up reading this, then laughed harder when I realized *who* was chatting. Both of y’all are great, keep being excellent

Bo Burnham’s How the World Works proving evergreen:

“Private property's inherently theft
And neoliberal fascists
are destroying the left
And every politician
every cop on the street
Protects the interests of
the pedophilic corporate elite.”

You might be able to pick up an arm and wing at @ariesgamesandminis.bsky.social! Otherwise, it’d make for some great battle damage :)

I’m reallllly looking forward to the CGL Jade Falcon redesigns (especially given how awesome the new Jade Hawk is)

Looking great!! And dammmmn those bases are amazing!!!

Nice!!! I just snagged some Falcon Sentinels decals from Aries recently. Hoping to have some painted up by January (I have an event that I *really* should prioritize before that hahaha)

To you as well! Always love seeing Fox Patrol and Clan Jade Falcon stuff! Reminded me that I need to finish my Falcon Remnants Ion Sparrow too haha

A buddy and I ran Dark Age CJFs at a tournament over the summer and had a total of 4 Ion Sparrows on the field (with Battle Armor attached, of course). It was so fun to watch people panic as this little guys just appeared halfway across the board doing massive damage

Yesssss I just painted Evan’s Ion Sparrow too! Love the new scuplt

I think Outfoxed is in my top 3 BattleTech fiction list. I’ve always had a soft spot for the Fox Patrol, but as your review said, it does a great job balancing storytelling and the feel of a game of Classic BT. Plus, it’s a great description of what therapy’s like and its benefits. 5/5
