Curious and curmudgeonly, creative and crusty. Cynic in the nascent stages of recovery.
Just like you, I can't do this on my own.

Sean Carlton just penned a fantastic write-up on the fundamental poison of billionaire "philanthropy."
The Biggest Heist in America Is Being Sold as a Gift to Children

Well, an independent investigation now confirms it: Hegseth endangered the lives of American pilots during Signalgate.
Our servicemembers deserve leaders who never put them at unnecessary risk. If Hegseth had a shred of decency, he’d resign.

Has anyone done the Noem math to figure out how many "hundreds of millions of Americans" the guy Trump just pardoned must have killed with 400 tons of cocaine?

Unearthed 2016 video: Pete Hegseth straight up says US troops will not follow ‘unlawful orders’ from the commander-in-chief, and there have to be consequences for ‘abject war crimes’.
Guess it suddenly gets blurry when it’s Trump issuing the unlawful orders.

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Gambling elements in video games can be mitigated by adding a buyout option based around a guarantee-drop currency. Cost of the item is the reciprocal of its probability, e.g. a 1% drop rate = 100 units of said currency.
Stat rolls, affixes, etc., impact this cost based on their own probabilities.
