So one of my obsessions is the Magic card Atog — it's such a weird, goofy piece of art
When I was more active on the con circuit, I'd ask artists to doodle on one. Some got it immediately, others thought I was nuts
The first artist to do one for me was Stan Sakai, who jumped in with both feet

So we wrapped up the latest arc in our ongoing Planescape campaign
I'd challenged myself to use the material from the atrocious Warriors of Heaven/Guide to Hell, and it actually worked out ... Sort of, we ended up going off a deep tangent with Doors to the Unknown ...

Literal fever dream today: I was roped into preparing food for a TPUSA event but no one remembered to buy anything so I had to use what was in attendees' cupboards
It was all stuff in bulk bags with names like "Man Bits, mineralized flavor" with stickers on it advertising elevated lead

Miniatures painter: So I started using bespoke Korean filing tools designed to cut perfect edges on gemstones as a way to fix this problem, you can buy a pack of 3 in various grits for $482 but you'll only use the medium one

I am small and weak so my journey into 30k army building continues
Today I realized I am probably several dudes short of the ... Mother of God 3,000 points that's standard, but the silver lining is that Spartans and Kratoses are plastic now

Some hot takes on the butterfly app this a.m.
I'd ask to be walked through some of the logic on display, but that would involve interacting with some of the butteriest minds here and I just would rather (gestures wildly)

WSJ ran a story today on the "issue" of "able-bodied passengers who game the system to skip the lines"
So first, go fuck yourself WSJ; I know plenty of people who need occasional assistance and don't have an apparent condition
Second, nice way to carry water for the racial panic on this issue

Still reading the Horus Heresy 3.0 rules, but thought I could throw together a kind of proto list with things I knew I wanted, like phosphex and also phosphex

I'm sure it'll make sense later, but going into that blind was like looking into a fractal pattern of ass

It's so fascinating how the modern GOP presidency seems to turn lame duck about 6 months after taking office for the 2nd term
It happened with Bush and it's happening with Trump, and I think the only reason we're seeing the post pushback is because they don't have to elect this gizzard again

WSJ running interference for Trump's dumbass tariffs today by pretending that econs missed the mark and overstated their impacts
Dudes, Trump wanted like 145% on China and just vast across-the-board increases, he didn't get any of that

As with most grognards of a certain age, I have a soft spot for Palladium
But I do not understand how they're still a going concern and am more than a little jealous that "I get people to write and draw about monsters and their thinly veiled fetishes" actually worked as a business model

Lmao WSJ: "401(k)s are minting a generation of 'moderate millionaires' "
Per the article's own figures, we're talking about less than a percent of the total population
Happy for those this works for! But we've dismantled other systems — pensions — so forgive me for not cheering a "moderate" win

All gaming groups have that one guy — aged, eccentric, obsessed with a particular idea — and as I gently mock our group's version, I am quietly stockpiling Nurgle models so I can seamlessly slot into that spot when it's my time
