@radiofreetom.bsky.social Tom I’m sure you got something in the hopper on the shutdown, but could you be sure to mention the moral rot that has feds again being held hostage and sacrificed to our vengeful overlords? “If you don’t agree I’ll fire a bunch of my own employees” is just so awful.

@tychobrahe.bsky.social - Don’t know if you’ve seen this: retro fantasy mecha JTRPG. Looks wild and I can only hope they eventually do miniatures for it. Major Escaflowne vibes.
And now for something completely different: Wares Blade, the vintage mecha-fantasy RPG I've been localizing for LionWing Publishing, officially went live on Kickstarter this week - and has been absolutely smashing funding goals from the word "go."
Wares Blade
Swords & Sorcery & Mecha. One of Japan's most popular TTRPGs from the 80s and 90s finally arrives in English. Be a part of history.

I'm just gonna say the amount of peacefulness that these large rallies where essentially nobody was in charge is stunning and fantastic.The media doesn't seem to be too happy though… Definitely looking for any violence they can play up. But the story should be how unbelievably wonderful it all went.

The Easter potato hunt because we are running out of eggs. Sounds like something right out of the Soviet Union in 1951.
“Good job voting for Trump. Now get out there with the kids and tell them to enjoy their Easter potato hunt! Maybe later they can come inside for some scrambled nothing and a side of brightly colored hash browns.”

Trump ruined Easter with his astronomical egg prices. No way I'm dying potatoes. | Opinion
Despite near-constant campaign promises that he would swiftly lower the price of eggs, Trump has failed. Eggs hit a record high in March.

Look, I don't want to give the impression that I'm simply a defender of the status quo. It's important to challenge accepted ways of thinking and doing things. But I absolutely recoil at this attitude that everyone and everything that came before is stupid and corrupt and deserves to be burned down.

If Congress wants to slash the federal workforce, they should do it then. Themselves. Not delegate something unpopular to the Executive branch which has no legal authority to refuse to spend congressionally designated funding.

Wonderful to see Elected Dems taking a stand on this. Fight back! Do not let them get away with anything, keep throwing sand in the works and pounding the message of the regime’s lawlessness and chaos. Last until the midterms and claw back the authority to stop them cold.
We took to USAID HQ today to fight back against Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s illegal power grab against the agency.
Congress created USAID by statute. An unelected, unaccountable, billionaire oligarch like Elon Musk has no authority here.

It would be nice if the national media would post headlines like “Trump Backs Down” - instead parroting this reign of terror bullshit describing every impending threat like the Sword of Damocles. Treat this idiot like the moron he is, please.
