Tweet by “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth: “The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.” Below there is a video of the announcement for his many, many illiterate fans

Behind Hegseth’s big stupid face, a painting can be seen.

The painting is of George Washington crossing the Delaware. It is by Emanuel Leutze.

An article from the National Parks Service: Smallpox, Inoculation, and the Revolutionary War Boston National Historical Park During the 1700s, smallpox raged through the American colonies and the Continental Army. Smallpox impacted the Continental Army severely during the Revolutionary War, so much so that George Washington mandated inoculation for all Continental soldiers in 1777. Just fifty-six years earlier, in 1721, Bostonian doctors and clergy introduced the procedure to the American colonies. Without the vision and determination of these early Bostonians in normalizing inoculation, Washington may not have made the decision to mandate inoculation for the Continental Army. Though it was a controversial action, many historians credit the medical mandate with the colonists' victory in the Revolutionary War and the creation of the United States of America.

Read Matt's lovely thread on the passing of Lou Zocchi. I'm just adding Lou was a really nice guy, too; always friendly to newbies in what passes as our strange game industry.

Huh. Neat. Is Cassidy a river otter?

Anyway-- I am more for the traditional meaning of "op-ed"-- meaning "opposition" to the editorial stances and choices of the paper.

We have lost the art and craft of actual debate, persuasion. And we have a sensitive journalist class that pretty much hates being challenged.

I saw this up close.

@realfollowers.bsky.social I seek the bitter truth!

Yeon Sang-ho’s masterpiece TRAIN TO BUSAN is heading back into theaters across the United States and Canada on August 14.

Presented in 4K for the first time on the big screen!

Nice. Likely Fritz Leiber inspired - though GW did introduce Skaven in 1986 as 'Chaos Ratmen'.

More French.

The Huckster's poker hand for casting remains inspired. 🥰

@forbeck.com Think I've got a special Diana Jones nominee in mind, Matt...

Pffff, he's clearly Chaos domain.

I shudder to think of the grotesque mutations he has concealed.

Cognitive dissonance is their love language.

I have GURPS Cabal sitting on the shelf behind me. Right next to Nephilim and all its supplements, in fact. 🤗

I usually put them in a book and then sell that book to people, John. 😉

We've all had so much stress, it's nice to have something pure.

Nope. Now we just talk more folks into pre-ordering Wickhills! 🤗

i am deeply, deeply suspicious of why The Butcher of the Forest didn't hit in the UK. Sadly, I'm pretty certain I know why and it blows chunks.

The chainsaw juggling might be fun, but just in case not, I did pre-order from Bookshop. 🤗

They just don't want to argue with their digital girlfriends.

Ye, verily.

Who run Barter-town?

Fleetmaster Duriath Helbane is the overlord of Temple of Spite, a towering Black Ark. He demands unquestioning loyalty from its many denizens, but dark elves do not relish subservience, and he remains vigilant for signs of another mutiny.

Temple of Spite is now available at https://bit.ly/4cOSdB6

Fuck. Me. These morally-leprous assholes.

Yep. The 25th is basically for removing someone who has truly had a mental break of some kind, beyond the mere 'sociopathic narcissistic wound' variety. Someone that has clearly descended into delusions and can no longer perform their duty as President - hence the whole opportunity to fight it.

Trump is clearly an unstable warmonger at odds with the will of the people. YouTube video by Senator Markey

A war powers resolution will not be enough. Yes. We need to assert congressional authority and stop this illegal war in Iran. But, Trump is clearly an unstable warmonger at odds with the will of the people. Removal is the top priority. No more war criminal in the White House.

The time to do something is now, and we must act.
