A few months, ago I went looking for 3D-printable hex-grid terrain for playing big robot tabletop games, specifically the mech TTRPG Lancer. I found a number of terrain systems doing a lot of cool things, but nothing I found was quite what I was looking for. So, I made my own:

There's an old scam: you send out 100 letters, half say some stock will go up and half say it'll go down. For the half that end up being right, you do it again; after 5 times, you have a few people believing you can predict the market, and a bunch who know you can't.

Literally all of society hates this abominable scam homunculus and the weird little death cult bubble of vampiric losers who spewed it forth upon the world. Take a break from bragging about how gullible you are and give yourself a swirlie and stuff yourself in a locker and sort yourself out.

This sort of nonsense is what happens when rightwingers cultivate an atmosphere that allows people to dismiss matters of human rights and scientific fact as ‘opinions’.

There’s a word for what you are when you disagree with reality. It’s spelled ‘wrong’.

I'd argue that while they're correct that "sighty" isn't really a thing, both "touchy" and "feely" are absolutely words that exist, and thus the ordinary object is not intangible, it's either irritable or emotional.

I'm not trying to be a dick.

But they picked two fat republicans for a bunch of jokes when the young republicans said the worst shit imaginable.

My fat ass is out there fighting for what's right.

Stop equating fat with bad or less. Stop telling ME I'm one annoyance away from being your target.

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty proud of this one. Come hear me be an awful man!
The audience’s attention is a fickle thing. Easily attained, easily absented.

But an individual believing you share especial intimacy? Fail them, & you will find few foes as focused on forcing you to fall.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is

- more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week)

- more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages)

- more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

Steve Silberman is not here to shout it — so it’s up to all of us.

Vaccines don’t cause autism.

Neither does Tylenol. (I mean seriously WTF?!?!)

The “epidemic” of autism is the result of increased testing, broader definitions, and raised awareness.

LOUDER.
Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in.

Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol.

It's like his work never happened.

Just beat the Cogwork Dancers and... Hot damn. Not the hardest boss by any means, but definitely one of the most memorable I've seen in a while, mechanically neat and, like, genuinely emotionally weighty; a melancholy victory.

I think possibly... skong good?
