If you live in (or have lived in) California, it's worth taking a moment to search for your name on the Unclaimed Property site. You may have some money waiting for you! Thanks to my cousin Rebecca for the reminder - I had $100 from decades ago just sitting there. claimit.ca.gov/app/claim-se...

Close to 100% of people have no clue how right-wing psychology works or how the modern world aggravates and fuels it.

This guy gets it.

Read this thread. Retain it. Base your strategies and tactics on it.

If you do, you'll be about 50 years ahead of the curve.
This is literally what I've been writing and podcasting about for years. I was planning to do an essay on this, but here's a 🧵.

The main reason is psychology. Due to personal, family, and cultural histories, some people are inherently scared of the world.
Fight and help win a world war.

Establish a global order that cements your national power for 80 years.

Blow it all up.

What am I missing?

These are some of the books I'm hoping to read in 2026 (OK, I'll probably finish in 2027...)! Some are classics I'm re-reading and others are new to me. And Feral Flame by @joabaldwin.com is kind of in between, because I read a beta version and there have been changes...

Finally starting book 4 of @joabaldwin.com’s Noss Saga. I got to name a couple locations on one of the (gorgeous, v detailed) maps in this one! Kelabek and Kurtkara were the goddesses of life and death respectively in a Dungeon World campaign that I ran for two years.

I love reading, so I thought (actually @corasik.com pointed it out to me) this art was very fitting. Reading one of my all time favourite series Noss saga by @joabaldwin.com .

If you enjoyed My Remise it would mean a lot to me if you nominated it for an Ursa Major. It's easy to do and if I make the cut, it helps more people find out about it. Thanks!

I'll be at FC this weekend! I'm not bringing books with me, but I'll have free bookmarks for those who ask, and I'll sign things if you bring them to be signed.

Who else will I see there?

I converted my old-ass animations from as far back as 1998. This is the kind of shit I was doing back then. Exploding crap, stupid jokes, metal band logos, lots of J's with fancy sparkles on them.

Finished @joabaldwin.com’s first book in his Noss Saga over the weekend, and am already multiple chapters into book two. I haven’t been this hooked on a book series in a very long time, well over a decade. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something new to read.
