Writer, RPG designer/developer and weirdly enough, semiprofessional swordsman. Currently primarily engaged by Green Ronin but all opinions my own.
Sure I'm wracked with chronic pain and the weather sucks so swording might get cancelled, but it's a new sword day for me and that's never entirely bad. Kvetun Easton, the long one even though I'm a Fiorist because I'm a 6'5" Fiorist.
He literally wore a Melnykite logo to accept it, which should have tipped Poland off maybe.
I remember Zionists in Anglo media insisting that this wasn't happening.
You know in your heart of hearts no electable Democratic leader would say this in a million years.
I know it's Pride Month but this is not how I would celebrate the career of Nathan Lane.
The funny thing is that he did make that phone call, or the phone call threatening it, because once again Donald Trump, still the worst US president in history, pushed back in a way Biden or Harris never would.
In WW2 the Nazi targeting of civilian shipping was considered despicable and only not considered a war crime because the US did it in the Pacific.
But the great beast of dislike/love for me is the Palladium Fantasy RPG 1e, a game so betterworse than D&D it requires multiple posts. Palladium combat is long, but actually emulates how people describe lots of RPG combat, move by move. The art makes the game come alive. It's still enh.
I didn't read the comic, but the Boys TV show was at its best when it more often linked superhero media/merchandising to capitalist propaganda in the market, instead of indulging in decadence discourse and direct parody of US political idiocy, because Dem nerds should also feel bad.
The embarrassing part is of course that the worst piece of shit to be US President in modern times did this and neither Biden nor Harris would have.
We Anglosphere folk must confront the unpleasant truth that Nordic countries are also run by very stupid people. This is a very dim statement of resignation with someone with the power to regulate the corporations she complains about but instead they can somehow only regulate end users.
Good old Reza P. telling Europeans to discriminate against Iranians more.
Men (I mean, almost always), do as I do when you raise something in a discussion that's already been raised and notice it post hoc instead of pretending your take was importantly 1% distinct or something.
Germany's looking forward to another decade of Ukrainians being killed against the wishes of the majority of Ukrainians, who want a negotiated end to the war. Of course Ukraine's "supporters" don't mention this, busification, the halving of the population, and so forth.
Man the Pahlavis just love killing the people they want to rule.
The idea of a "historically accurate" Odyssey is hilariously historically unprecedented.
They're underselling this. Israel invaded Iraq, built a base, and murdered Iraqi troops who came to investigate.
Yeah, so much of the cast is deceased now it's kind of upsetting, honestly. Also, 100% convinced trans flag creator Monica Helms is a Delenn fan because of that outfit.
Credit where credit is due. @whstancil.bsky.social says he doesn't believe in compromising on trans rights. I do respect this non-problematic interaction and hope he holds himself to account here.
One benefit of reading Awful French Theorists is knowing that the Department of War (or whatevs) absolutely is a media business whose main mission is to appeal to Americans. They just have an editorial mandate to achieve that with real violence. The amount of violence required is variable.(1/2)
Ukraine gets its reward for taking the US and Israeli side in the savaging of the Middle East. It's like the scorpion and the frog, but with a scorpion and a stupider scorpion.
Thank Israel for helping to make this photo possible and ensuring the safety of this Mossad employee.
Less seriously, as Talia Winters, Andrea Thompson is hot in a specifically 90s mode of hotness I had forgotten.
Remember: It's morally praiseworthy to treat unapologetically proud Boers like shit. The interesting thing is that this is an attempt to further Nazify the US because they have silly beliefs that if the "wrong" newcomers can make everybody Muslim they can use that alleged effect for their side.
