Extimate Space

I cannot imagine how insufferably annoying I would be if I kept pumping out articles about how bad a sportsball game is which lead with the core premise that I really don’t like sports games. Why would I write about them?

I was a Paul Tassi defender for the longest time but his latest Marathon article reads like the caricature critic he is so often accused of being that I truly cannot. You don’t actually have to publish 10k words of doomer goofball shit just because you don’t like a genre.

Homer Simpson in 3D

I will never respect 3D SpongeBob. It’s so strange to me. It’s like if the Simpsons just kept doing this shit and never called attention to it.

and in California, Democrats drawn into safer, bluer seats by Prop 50 still keep voting for fascist crap despite overwhelming polling showing a bipartisan majority in opposition to these policies. you don't have to provide cover for spineless do-nothing collaborators.

henry cuellar is in one of the safest seats in texas

whoever at @greenfi.bsky.social designed the new debit cards - who hurt you? do you need help? How did yall go from the eye catching and aesthetically pleasing design on the left to “what if it was flat green with the logo?”

Investors and publishers have been trying to copy and regurgitate pop culture for so long even prior to AI that they seem truly unable to comprehend why normal people are repulsed by this shit.

The Quiet Hours - Cold Open Stories | 40k Warhammer 40,000 Short Fiction Anthology: Tragic, harrowing, and bittersweet tales set in the 41st Millennium.

Very excited to share that my original Warhammer 40,000 flash fiction piece 'The Quiet Hours' was selected as an Editor's Choice inclusion for @coldopenstories.bsky.social 24th Warhammer fast fiction contest, themed 'The Enemy Within'.

I want everyone to have the things they need to survive and thrive but if you hit publish on this article you should lose your fucking job forever

almost no police chief in the country will give orders to arrest federal agents on constitutional grounds, let alone violation of state statutory law. These are people who won’t even publish communications with DHS despite no federal or state law prohibiting it for fear of legal retaliation.

generally no, and even if they did, they would be unlikely to be able to hold them. There's a bunch of federal law which basically lets federal agents get away with almost anything they want at a state level if they can argue its pursuant to their duty.

Biden was directly responsible for one of the largest ICE funding expansions in history prior to the 'Big Beautiful Bill' and went as far as greenlighting millions of dollars to reopen a migrant detention facility at Gitmo where detainees were previously documented being forced to eat bugs to live.

on top of that, there is depressingly limited political will to do anything on the subject of arms to Israel and if we have to pick and choose I would rather it be spent on ending the endless stream of 2000 lb unguided bombs and artillery shells being used to level Gaza and neighbors

MTG’s line item was not about ending the transfer of MK84 bombs and 155mm artillery shells - it was targeting iron dome funding. Netanyahu is bloodthirsty, he will wage endless war regardless of the Iron dome, but a rising civilian death toll will embolden and empower him further

thought for the day: do you think defunding the Iron Dome and letting the Israeli civilian death toll rack up will make it easier or harder for Netanyahu to justify carpet bombing all his neighbors?

perfect vibe match! just needs some rats

Another slick shot of my spacer getup at Neotropolis 2025 from photographer Yuri Nevrov! I of course cannot wait for next year. Too many costume projects on my mind, from @owlcatgames.bsky.social's Osiris Reborn to an idea for a s'pht compiler from Marathon that won't leave my brain.

Terribly excited for this. Tyrant Philosophers is quickly becoming one of my favorite recent fantasy series and I've been dying to revisit Ilmar, and specifically the Reproach since I finished City of Last Chances.

Got Expanse cosplay projects in the brain big time after the Osiris Reborn announcement from @owlcatgames.bsky.social

Really want to tackle that Gemini belter hardsuit in the trailer. Obsessed with the designs!

It was windy. It was cold. It was dirty and cloudy and rainy. All I wanna do is go back.

It wasn’t just Bush. We’re seeing the result of what happens when we turn the other way because they have a D next to their name. Biden’s administration, for example, initiated the expansion of migrant detention facilities at Gitmo.

I should have been patient because I learned some new things and I like this version much more!

Real ones will note the tactical belt mounted Sake Bottle, which is vital gear for corporate counterhack teams on the ground

Just a few short weeks until we’re back on Kepler 609C for #Neotropolis! Can’t wait to variously pretend to be a street rat, asteroid belt pirate, and corpo gangoon in the dirt for a week.
