The lights have been dimmed for quite some time now, which is the reason for the WaPo's decline in subscribers (the current layoffs will only accelerate this). Oh well, it's not like he bought the paper as a financial investment anyway ...

Because I'm chronically scatterbrained, I missed the release of the #DrawSteel ancestries on Titanforge. They've been out for nearly a week now ...
Seems like this weekend it's time for the printer to go brrr

Finally got the #Titancraft #DrawSteel kickstarter coupon. Because the DS ancestries aren't live yet, I started making proxies for the four PCs I'll be the Director for.
Imagine my suprise when I realized that much of the stuff is free for STL downloads. Why didn't I know that? Stupid me.

Back in 2003 or so (urgh) I made spell / item / creature / ... cards for the d20 system. #DrawSteel is begging for a similar treatment. Kudos to #MCDM for providing character sheets with cards, but the amount of space needed is all over the place.
So here's where I'm at (WIP). More details below.

So my job is keeping statistics about local crime, right? And the crime, it's so bad, I can't even focus because of all the shooting, looting, and the eating of cats and dogs. So while dodging bullets and being robbed blind, never mind mourning for Buddy and Daisy, my report reads "Crime is down".

By all the preciously few Gods still not afraid to face me, I'm, after a long time being willing, finally able to #DRAWSTEEL! May the kindly ones have more mercy on the souls of the vanquished than me.

Disregarding anything else, "good-faith debate" is pretty much the opposite of what comes to mind. Dude was the Crowder meme personified.
Not sure about the question, but Newsom isn't the answer.

Musk's last compensation from Tesla was $29 billion (supposed to be $56 billion, but that would be preposterous ...). That's the equivalent of roughly 460,000 average yearly incomes. This new compensation is 5 times worse (right now; less if we wait some time, thanks to Musk).

Everybody should know that, if we take "woke" to mean anything with a social message against injustices, all of these things have always been woke to some degree. Maybe don't remain on the shiny surface when consuming media?

Had my first game of #Oathmark after a paint marathon to finish two small armies (1500 pts each). Fast and fun rank and file system with old school minis – what's not to love?
Minis aren't 100% yet. Banners are still missing, for instance. But first, got to finish 150 or so more minis ...

Frankly, I have no clue why the trump regime hasn't sold (gifted?) Alaska back to Russia by this point. Seems overdue, no?

Each as they can, so this is good idea. Surely this should find much support among billionaires, if just for self-preservation, no?
The only time I'll ever use a white flag is when it's time to wave goodbye to the .1% on their way to Mars. But I digress.
