The peace treaty signing yesterday between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Rwanda was truly historic. That war has killed more than any since World War 2, almost all of them black.

Lovely essay here.

ALIEN RPG – Evolved Edition and Rapture Protocol Expanded and updated core rules and a new cinematic scenario for the award-winning RPG from Free League and 20th Century Studios

#ALIEN #RPG

Just backed Alien 2E: here be monsters!

USCSS Free League is now en route to the Heart of Darkness!

When they said “alien,” I thought they meant “illegal alien,” so I signed up. Now, there's no getting out of this chicken shit outfit.

The Devil’s the details:

The Fading Dark: How D&D Forgot to Fear the Darkness Elven Maid Inn published a post on Ko-fi

Make darkness scary again.

Fantastic article on #DnD’s deemphasis of darkness, making it essentially meaningless. As for me, this parallels how the modern world takes electric light for granted.

Reasons to love TLG: excellent content, inspirational & immersive art (not off-putting, grotesque). And made in the USA!

“We make our products here in the United States and have for decades. The current trade war, much like the Covid Pandemic, will not have a measurable impact on TLG’s operations.”

Lo! Here’s a work worthy of reading!

As for me, it inspires my master’s thesis on similar happenings in Beowulf Studies. In this forthcoming essay, I’ll dive deep into the fetid mere of stifling criticism all mired in serpentine eisegesis.

Kudos to millions of people who took to the streets over the weekend to demand more, not less, government waste.

Make waste, not war!

Alas, poor Wall Street!

Ivy League diplomas will soon be as worthless as the US dollar.

Profound!

Why #Disney & #Hollywood suck

A fantastic exploration of pop cultural aesthetics: romantic realism champions beauty, truth; transgressive and, dystrophic realism’s attempt to subvert tradition, normalize pathology, and crush resistance to luciferian agenda.

The Nightmare That Threatens the World!

Old films foreshadowed our brave new world.

Now’s time for a timely remake , more relevant today than it was in 1956.

‘A case study in groupthink’: were liberals wrong about the pandemic? US political scientists’ book argues aggressive Covid policies such as mask mandates were in some cases misguided

Legacy media still playing catch-up #covid

"And did liberal dismissiveness of the other side come at a cost that Americans will continue to pay for many years? Still, it is unclear why shutdowns and closures went on so long, particularly in Democratic states."

I did. I voted. No, I’m not going to run out outside and rampage and riot. That’s what silly little people do when they have temper tantrums. Any more questions? Other wise, have a nice weekend!

Hypocrisy, fool.

Anybody remember this?

Back in 1996, Nancy #Pelosi urged Congress to support reciprocal #tariffs, a sentiment echoed by Bernie #Sanders in 2008 and Barack #Obama in 2018.

From “The East Mark Fragment”:

… • afore his wroth wiles,
Lone looms • the lair of mad Zagyg,

With skill and bleak guile • he shaped this trap-strewn terror,

Bold blades dare • into the wild, wicked deeps,

Yet shadows stir • …

YouTube video by DisneyMusicVEVO Rachel Zegler - Waiting On A Wish (From "Disney's Snow White")

Her face shines with grace,
A voice flows like a sweet stream,
Rachel Zegler glows,
Yet beneath the gleam lies truth,
Not all that glitters is gold.

Dr David Cartland BMedSci MBChB MRCGP (2014) on X: "So basically taxpayers paid for the creation of the Covid-19 virus through USAID and then paid the mainstream media to brainwash them about masks, vaccines, and lockdowns? It's unbelievable what these sick people did to us. https://t.co/7kDM2bRvmJ" / X So basically taxpayers paid for the creation of the Covid-19 virus through USAID and then paid the mainstream media to brainwash them about masks, vaccines, and lockdowns?

Once upon a time, owning a #Tesla was the ultimate sign of progressive virtue. Now owning one is worse than the Scarlet Letter, marking you not just a sinner, but aligned with evil incarnate, a target.

Funny thing is — it’s only one side doing the virtue signaling, the outcasting!

Legacy media catching up on #COVID psy-ops

"…to promote the appearance of consensus, some officials and scientists hid or understated crucial facts, misled at least one reporter…"

We all grew up on films like The Right Stuff, Explorers, Interstellar, rooting for the heroes who swat away NPC bullies like parasitic mynocks.

Some of us have grown into buzzkills who project their low IQs, cheering setbacks. These fools will be the ones who’ll blast off on a full stomach. Sad!
