I find it so amusing that all the branches of Christianity (and I've attended a *few*) brag. BRAG about how strong they are as a church, that Jesus conquers hearts, yet, when confronted by another faith, they fear that "they'll take over the world and Christians will be hunted for sport".

Despite Peter Thiel's best efforts, the power-greedy, dusty Imperial Aristocracy are still susceptible to age and death. As Dick Cheney just showed us.

Exact-a-mundo! The "conservative movement" (read: Imperial) has been in panic mode since Johnson passed the '64 Civil Rights bill. That and Nixon's resignation showed them that they could go extinct if they just left their fate up to Democracy.

Eating also adds (dare I say) "flavor" to an otherwise boring series of downtime activities. The Life Support portion of the monthly Running Costs of operating a Space Ship or Starship covers the most basic nutritional needs for each person on board the ship.

I just packed my entire physical game library. (It took a year, it's a *lot* of books). I'm happy that Libraries like this will continue to exist. Tabletop role playing games are resistance.

Mechanical Minds and Clockwork Slaves, this week's Lore and Legends of the Dezzyverse introduces the dark miracle of the Mazinyk. Their Differential Brains think as automatons, their Corespring clockwork hearts yearn for something more than servitude.

Gonna sweep out the 2 party system with sudden national figures. That all starts at the county and local level. Work NOW and build. Keep going. There are older voters who will support your efforts and help the heavy lifting.

Especially if you live in a state that heavily favors one party or the other to think nationally. But remember all the state and local elections that are coming up. For everyone under the age of 35, these local elections is where you can build change that pays off in 20 years. We aren't

I'll remind all my Democratic friends whenever Newsom pops into the news. We need to work on winning the midterms next year. Don't be distracted by Newsom. He isn't the nominee. 2028 is way out in the future. 2026 and the elections that run up to is must be our focus. I know it's hard

and when I refer to the Podcast, I'm talkin' about the whole thing. From hosting Charlie Kirk to this exchange, inclusive.

Newsom has really thrown his mask into the waters of the Pacific with this podcast. He knows the Dictator is circling the drain and he wants to pick up the crown when it falls from Trump's greasy orange brow. He believes that he can be a Republican with a D next to his name.

Fuck. The. Daily. Wire.
That is all.

another lonely kid that my art might touch. I join a 50 year legacy of writers, artists and designers who have presented worlds of possibilities and inspiration. How could I not contribute my efforts?

Why?
Because I was a lonely kid and my only outlet was my imagination. I found D&D at a time in my childhood when that imagination needed something to hang on to. I don't think I would have lived to be an adult if it were not for tabletop roleplaying.
So, I create to give back, in case there's

I got one more thing... doesn't need to be added to that very long rant.
The world is burning. I'm partially to blame. I should have, I dunno, worked harder for a better place for the kids coming up after me. I'm sorry. really. I shoulda taken better care of things.
