That's probably where my befuddled brain got the S, but I do know better, lol.

We will need to impeach the President, the VP, several Justices (probably only two of them - maybe four) and ban most of Congress as insurrectionists (R and D) per 14th A in order to get our country back.... or it's time for the second revolution.

I really enjoy that @dungeonalchemist.com builds an explorable 3D model, even though I use it primarily as a flat map in game. But it also makes for good visual handouts for the players.

A broken stone staircase leading up to the novice monk's dormitory, seen through and ornate arch.

The ruined monastery garden with dead trees, seen from the cloister, south of the chapel.

Front door of the ruined monastery, still intact.

Inside the runited chapel, a view of the high altar and transepts from the choir.

I don't think the Olympic committee has anything to do with the World Cup, but FISA should certain move it out.

Why did the medieval church ban extramarital sex and require married couples to use the missionary position?

My guess is the priests wanted fun sex to be a sin so they could enjoy it vicariously in the confessional.

What a difference a bribe makes, lol.

Vodostar @vodostar.bsky.social · 7d

For now. And, yeah, the Dems are too busy sucking his dick to do anything, but maybe we won't let them continue that.

Some scam to steal money from her fans. What else would a Trump announce?

The thing is, AI is not hampered by millions of years of evolution to prevent self-awareness. Of course AI is more likely to become self-aware.

Joe Segal @joesegal.bsky.social · 8d

I find it interesting that people think it's more possible for AI to become self-aware than it is for humanity to do so. #Singularity

The sad part is that when we get control of our country again, we'll have more disgraced soldiers serving in Leavenworth than soldiers on active/reserve duty.

On the happier side, Trump can have a cell in the same prison.

A new map made with @inkarnate.com .
Welcome to Noregal on the Norey Plain. This is the base location for some upcoming #dragonbane #ttrpg one-shots.

Top down view of a medieval-fantasy town for use as a map for a table top roleplaying game.

If only there were a party that would actually reign the orange dictator in... but it's not the Dems. We need stronger representatives who don't work for a foreign country and big corps.

Heinlein in Starship Troopers proposed soldiers in powered armor. Just watching a TV adaptation of Halo - same idea (I think).

The reality is more dystopian. Stand by for genocidal wars conducted entirely by autonomous drones.

Drones can't hold territory, but they can remove the population. Evil.

Vodostar @vodostar.bsky.social · 15d

Let's hope our soldiers remember that they are required to refuse illegal orders before we have to start watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants and patriots.

Does he not know that he's the commander in chief of his state's National Guard?

Vodostar @vodostar.bsky.social · 17d

Yeah, we're way late calling them fascists. And maybe a little late calling them Nazis.

Vodostar @vodostar.bsky.social · 17d

It amazes me that clueless politicians think I care enough about their filing deadlines, that that would encourage me to give them money.

Losers! You should be trying to show me a reason to give you my vote. Unless you take money from the Israel lobby and then you should burn in Hell.

Pretty sure that if he'd stolen the gold, he would have sold it and used some of the money to buy gold plated gegaws to decorate the WH.

Gold prices are up, so there probably wasn't a big dump of gold into the market.

My take? The criminal didn't commit this particular crime, lol.

Vodostar @vodostar.bsky.social · 18d

Yeah. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak up. SPEAK THE FUCK UP!

(Now if we just had someone... anyone... to vote for.)

Last century our two party system made us choose between "evil" and "weak".

Last election between "evil and corrupt" and "weak and corrupt"

Next election will be "evil, weak, and corrupt" vs "evil, weak, and corrupt"
