Vibes are bad around here. Let's all listen to a song with a lot of calming "Ooooo" and think about [REDACTING] and feasting on those that are hurting you.

today's Eclipse Phase game involved Chekov's flamethrower.
In that at the beginning of the session before heading into the Titan Quarantine Zone my character acquired a flamethrower.
Which I used to set four hostiles on fire and send two running for safety

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

I have in fact been anxious about this. Thank you!
And I'm sure you're all anxious to know: "what is the shape of the Yak-28P's radome"?
Your long wait is over!
The shape seems to be close to a paraboloid of Y = X¹'⁴⁷⁵.

I would like for one thing, and that is anyone who ever implied "Donald the Dove" to be banished to an op-ed page upstate where no one ever has to hear their opinion again.
Trump threatens to invade Nigeria "guns-a-blazing.”
“I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!”
