I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Been prepping some MCG minis to paint while I'm at GameHole Con this week!
As a reminder, I'm gonna have paint-and-take parties in the MCG Lounge at various times (prolly late evenings after my games). I'll have some of Monte's unpainted minis for people who didnt bring their own minis to paint!

four of the plastic minis from various MCG sets. Clockwise from top left: A woman in a ballgown holding a giant sword, a supervillain whose head and hands are spiked maces, a bounty hunter with a long sword and a magical imprisoning box, and a giant hairless sphinx cat with deer antlers. All of them are primed with black paint.

“Can the Old Technology match the might of the New Demonology?”

Can the Old Technology match the might of the New Demonology?

Image -

In the full moon, a kind of alien-robot-ancient soldier hybrid with a silver mask for a face wears a ceremonial robe - red with white silver trim - and is surrounded by strange chimney like artifacts that puff smoke or fog (looking like witches in pointy hats or stacked cairns.)

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

No Kings means we reject the idea that a functioning government requires an authoritarian with unlimited power, just as the founders of our nation did, something the MAGA-GOP no longer understands or believes in.

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

a foundational belief of the modern right is that there is no such thing as organic disagreement with their policies, it’s all directed from the top down

they just can’t conceive that ordinary people find them horrifying

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

My sister and I were forced to read this crappy biography of Christopher Columbus back in the 80s. So we recorded a podcast episode talking shit about him as our revenge.

I know the whole "put a potato in your candy bucket and see if kids choose it" is a thing this year, but seriously I've been offering trick-or-treaters UNCOOKED SPAGHETTI for the past two Halloweens (since 2021, in other words) and you'd be surprised how many kids choose the spaghetti!

meme about putting a potato in your candy bucket to see if any kids take it instead of candy

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

These are 3D-printed models, bought from Printed By Aliens" on Etsy. I chose them because:
• resin… I'm tired of the smell of pewter & chipped paint
• each is a single piece (plus base)—no gluing arms and such
• fun outfits
• nice pose/weapon variety

Painted up some ratmen for an upcoming Ptolus campaign. I gave each a diff color scheme so we can tell them apart on the tabletop. In my miniature-painting revival (and with my "old man" eyes) I've given up on dealing with tiny details, so this is a basic paint job … but I like how they turned out!

Photograph of ten painted ratmen minis in a "bowling pin" formation. Each is wearing a simple cloth shift (like a monk's robe) with or without a hood. All except the front one have brown fur and yellow eyes, the front one has white fur and pink eyes. Each has a different color scheme for its clothing and weapons: back row is red, orange, rich yellow, green. Second row is blue, light grey, purple. Third row is dark grey, cyan. Front row is pale yellow.
