Husband / Father / Navy Vet / Ex Conservative / Democratic Socialist / Ally Japanese aesthetics, Haruki Murakami, and a nice cup of matcha are my jams. Rush is the soundtrack of my life. Universal healthcare is a universal human right.
Live-action would've been nice, but I'm here for this.

Sir Alec Guiness, "Bridge on the River Kwai"
I really like Owlbear Rodeo and Tableplop, but I've built up an investment of material and know-how in Roll20 so that's where I primarily run sessions.
As this war on Iran continues, let's not forget the extremely prescient "How We Lost the High-Tech War of 2007" by Charles J Dunlap, Jr. written in 1996 right after the 1st Gulf War. A guide on how to defeat America through information and disinformation.

U.S. Ambassador Bodine said that when American diplomats embarked on reconstruction, they ruefully joked that “there were 500 ways to do it wrong and two or three ways to do it right. And what we didn’t understand is that we were going to go through all 500.”

But, the Trump-Epstein files might damage his friends...
My personal favorite, although not on the list, owes its origin to the vast support given to the regime by the evangelical "Christians" on the right: Cheeto Jesus
Four years, when few gave Ukraine 4 days, and they still fight for freedom and independence.

This.👆 So much this.
Anyone remaining on Substack is part of the problem rather than the solution. I know, I know, you gotta make money and Substack facilitates that but it also facilitates fascism so you have a choice to make: credibility or grift.
Please, please PLEASE tell me this abomination is AI-generated. To think this way in the 21st century is so backwards. No wonder he’s a MAGA darling.
Time for Genghis Con 2026 in Aurora, CO!
Looking forward to letting my geek flag fly for a few days.

C'mon @safety.bsky.app, you have to do better.
Definitely Peak MAHA (Make American Homoerotic Again)
I was thinking about the Taiwan arms deal, Trump’s pardons, AI data centers, and MD redistricting over the past hour.
But MAGA has other obsessions they can’t stop thinking about 24/7.
It sure is interesting to see the GOP and MAGA fully embrace homoerotic art. Josh Halley's "Manhood" book, Tucker Carlson's documentary and videos, the GOP Grindr effect, and now this.
All of this, and more, are peak MAHA (Make America Homoerotic Again).

Bravo Zulu, Captain, for your service to our country. Unfortunately, we need to call upon you once again to step onto the deck and help chart our path forward.
Please do run!

Powerfully sobering story, but logic and emotion don't affect the AntiVax crowd who thrive on social media likes and "healthy living" vibes.

Congresswoman Jayapal is on 🔥 FIRE 🔥and is having none of it. Meanwhile, AG Bondi is once again revealing herself to be the uncaring, willing toady of the pedophiles in power.
A hill I might die on, but a strongly held belief: single-issue voters are worse for democracy than low-information, straight-line party voters.
A go after AG Bondi as well, for delaying and slow-rolling the release. The deadline was December 19th and we are ten days shy of two months AFTER that deadline.
Franklin Graham is a disgrace to the memory of his father and is a grifter much like the Cheeto-Jesus he worships.
It is nice to see the local high school students out in the streets protesting abuses by ICE, and to hear car horns honking in support.
It is also nice to see old, white, "Christian" men with their Jesus fish on their cars, losing their minds over this.

AI can create opportunities, but workers can’t be left behind. That's why I created the AI for America roadmap – so people can adapt to new technologies and thrive in tomorrow's economy.
And yet these same people want to establish a governmental order based upon Biblical precepts. Do these precepts, and the Bible, provide a foundation for government or not?
You can't have it both ways, Speaker Johnson, you Christian dimwit.
And those same Israelites, "on their journey through the wilderness...[to] their own Promised Land" were what exactly?
I think the term you are looking for, Speaker Johnson, is "migrants" who crossed the borders into Palestine.
That annual rite of passage known as Income Tax Season is now complete.
Wish we had a different system such as a national sales/value added tax or a simple flat tax on everything earned above a certain point, but that wouldn't benefit the corporations or the rich & powerful.
