He/Him. Earnestly giving a shit is the new black. Angry as Hell in DC's missing corner. Sic semper tyrannis.

A classic cartoon of Lucy Van Pelt pulling a football that she's holding out of the way so that Charlie Brown can once again miss kicking it and go flying tumbling into the air. Charlie Brown is shouting AAAUUGGHH.

Lamb stew: successful.
A large Dutch oven full of lamb stew, a mixture of lamb, potatoes, mushrooms, and carrots. It looks delicious, if I may say so myself.

And some better news, I'm making lamb stew, and I played COMPILE for the first time today. It's a really good game, and you should get it if you can.
A picture of a small rectangular box for a card game called compile. It is a black box, with a purple stripe running diagonally down the middle of it.

Just bringing this banger of a tweet back today.
A tweet from Senator Lindsey Graham from 2016. It says "if we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed………… and we will deserve it."

I am relaxing in the aftermath of @kennethhite.bsky.social and I's Gen. Philip Sheridan Memorial Book Raid, encompassing NOVA, the Shenandoah, Charlottesvile, RVA, and finally DC. Ken's loot dwarfed my own, but here is a visual record of my spoils, trophies of days well spent & company well kept.

The two genders.
A picture of a handwritten sign on the top of the bookcase. On it it says erotica/dirigibles. There's an arrow under erotica pointing up and an arrow under dirigibles pointing down.

Look, I get that we all hate the gerontocracy, I'm right there with you, but this kind of thinking is absolutely insane. To get the bar lower than "don't have Nazi tattoos" you literally have to dig a 6' trench and throw the bar in it.
They reply to a Facebook comment from me about a certain politician and his unfortunate tattoo. It reads "his point is that he is not a politician – that's why he didn't think to clean up his past until very recently and at this point has to accept that it is all coming out and deal with it. How he handles this will be telling.

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answer only
A figure in a black suit wearing a rubber mask that makes him look like a hairless man with blue skin sits in a large ornate wooden chair. A gold candelabra is in front of him. Jean Marais as Fantomas

Got my rally on today in Alexandria, VA. Great turn out, so many cars honking in appreciation as they drove by. #NoKings

A picture of Johnny Cash taken in the 70s, most likely. He has his guitar slung across him like he just stopped playing it, and is giving the viewer a HEARTFELT middle finger. It looks like her's saying "fuck" as well. Badass as hell.

Yeah, so, this is pretty fucking bad. I'm not sure this is the sort of stuff that you just gut your way through as a candidate when it becomes public, especially in the current environment, and especially in Virginia.
A screenshot of four sets of text messages from Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones, saying really vile shit that will almost certainly make him totally unelectable in a state like Virginia.

Before today, I was not aware that I needed a knife with a hand-knapped smokey obsidian blade and a bison-horn handle carved in the image of C'thulhu. $300, and reader, I would have paid that in a SECOND if I could currently spare it.
A man's hand holds a knife, blade pointing down. The blade handle is made of smoky obsidian rock, and the handle is black bison horn carved in the image of Cthulhu. It's fucking majestic.

You are not kidding. Also, my iPhone almost had an aneurysm when I screenshot that, because I think it was trying to parse all of that as actual text.
A screenshot from the book gaming: the futures language, by Richard Duke. It is a diagram, with text that is completely illegible.

We as humans are diminished today. Rest well, Jane. You were one of the good ones.
A picture of Jane Goodall in her later years. She is sitting looking into the distance with a pensive expression over face. She holds a notepad in one hand, and a small pair of binoculars in the other.

Post you from a different era
Next to a convention booth on the floor of Gen Con, a man in his late 20s or 30s with mid back length brown hair and a goatee wearing a tan button up short sleeve shirt and jeans crouches down by the original painting for the Erol Otus painting used as the cover of the first edition D&D book Dieties and Demigods. The man is looking at the camera, grinning, and giving a thumbs up.

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to BlueSky.
A two panel meme. "The stop trying to please people that already don't like you." The bottom part says "instead, embrace the idea of being the most annoying person in their lives"

This picture is circulating, and I'll be the first to admit it is nothing definitive.
A picture of Tyler Robinson and his father sitting in a restaurant together. Father is wearing a shirt that looks a lot like, but may not be, a 3% T-shirt.

Awesome picture for rolling into the weekend. Knobby Coots plays us in. ROLL THE CLIP.

(art by Angel Smyth).
A stylized painting of crocodile or alligator standing like a human, playing an upright piano. Written on the side of the piano in cursive is "Knobby Coot's Night at the Swamp."
