I paint pretty OK minis. I was on some podcasts a while back. Did a couple webseries. Have a blog I need to update at okaytabletop.com.

MFers like Andrew Taint and Jorbson Puddington out here talking about "alpha male" this and "sigma grindset" that and can't even answer the Riddle of Steel or tell us what is best in life. Pathetic.

I feel like if Conan of Cimmeria fell through a dimensional portal into Westeros, he'd probably do pretty ok. Like, even at the height of the War of Five Kings, he'd fit right in. Would probably end up eating chickens with the Hound.

There was a turtle in the yard digging a hole with its back legs yesterday. I didn't get a picture so you'll just have to take my word for it.

dude we'll still hang out with you, just admit you were given a grim warning by the oracles. nobody suddenly starts doubting the oracles one day cause they foresaw a bunch of dope shit

The irony is that the colonies actually were pretty OK with the king; in fact, they really only recognized his authority, since he wrote the colonial charters establishing each one. It was *Parliament* they had beef with, and whom they felt was overreaching in their authority.

America's been great since 1789. At least the dream of it is. A dream we can still achieve, despite the bad faith actions of those who wish to hoard it for only themselves. We just have to fight for it.

The ones who want liberty, equality, and fraternity are not willing to be as ruthless and focused on that goal as the ones who want authoritarianism, segregation, and subjugation, and that has to change. *Yesterday.* Cap didn't keep doing this all day for us to sit at home and do nothing.

I've mentioned this before, but not here. MAGA is the word Nigerian 419 scammers use to refer to their marks. It means "idiot."

One of my favorite bits of paranormal ephemera is the fact that John Constantine is reported to have been seen by writers working on his titles. Once he even made eye contact with Alan Moore and is said to have nodded conspiratorially. Moore wisely did not attempt further interaction.

/8 At any rate, congratulations to the Federalist Society for an achievement beyond the reach of the British, outside the grasp of bloody civil war, impossible to Nazis and Soviets and terrorists: defeating the American idea.

yes fighting amongst ourselves is absolutely a productive use of our time right now

Here's a fun thing for DMs: a mirror trap that produces illusory images of the PCs. The images do real damage, not illusory. Hurting the images causes damage to the PC that image reflects. The only way to damage the image is to attack the PC it reflects. Guaranteed fun times for you. 🤣

Looks like I'll be selling my Tractor Supply stock. Calling investor relations tomorrow to tell them why.

Man, when the Hellraiser Planet thinks you took it too far with the torture that must mean you're a real piece of shit (looking at you, Moclan Ambassador).

One of the best things The Orville did was center Dolly Parton as the moral heart of the Moclan reform movement.

If you haven't read MAUS I cannot recommend it highly enough.

One good thing about my tendency to be completely oblivious is that the standard tactics of manipulative people don't tend to work on me because they rely on the target realizing they're being singled out or otherwise buy into the passive-aggression, and I just never pick up on that subtext.

Objectively, I do think Andor is the highest quality of the Disney Star Wars shows, but it is also the most like work to me. I can breeze through Mando and Boba Fett (my favorites of the batch), but Andor needs an investment of energy I'm not always able to put in.

I never thought I'd utter the phrase "was it really necessary to give the dinosaur woman a pair of massive honkin juggs" and yet here we are.

Honestly yeah, I'm kinda surprised too, now that I think about it. We keep going back to Tatooine but not Hoth or Endor. Well, except in that one movie, and *still* didn't see Ewoks. Let us see Ewoks again, you cowards!
At this point I'm genuinely surprised they haven't brought back the Ewoks yet. An uncharacteristic show of restraint, really.
