It’s real! It’s really real! Preorder at the link in my bio right now, it’s good, I promise!
Brother I might be Black Library's most loyal customer
Probably just because I enjoy the universe more but I feel so completely immersed in Rogue Trader
I'm frankly gobsmacked
Made the mistake of starting Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader and now I'll be exploring the Koronus Expanse for the rest of my mortal days, I fear
he's trying so hard again
I'll let you know after I've done it, still trying to get that calibration right
Did one for first-graders about St. Patrick and planning another on mummies for that same class. This is just so much fun, they're so curious and engaged, ask such good questions, what a lovely opportunity
Doing a talk tomorrow for a class of second-graders about my great-great-great grandfather, an immigrant from Schleswig-Holstein who fought in the Civil War. I'm going to use him to talk about immigration, immigrants in the Union Army, why soldiers fought, and what they thought about slavery.
“Could it be that I’m here for reasons that have nothing to do with my actual capacities? No, it’s the people living much harder lives without the benefits I’ve been given through no merit of my own who are the actual losers.”
Leaving aside the basic fact of its absurdity - no, the average IQ in Somalia isn’t 70 - all I see here is a couple of idiots desperate for an unearned reason to think they’re better than others. Pathetic.
With that said, it's fucking awesome to watch meaningful basketball after four years of suffering through some absolutely painful stretches that featured a lot of future Remembering Some Guys segment participants
It's one thing to know, intellectually, that the Spurs are awesome and stacked with incredible talent; it's another to watch them comprehensively stifle your scrappy but largely mediocre Blazers to the extent that you feel lucky to only be down 10 at halftime
We've got to start putting the idea into circulation. Unrelated but I need to get you on Past Lives to talk about some medieval people!
Exactly, "all your works are dust and nobody will care about you" is the message
Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
I love this stupid country so much, what a beautiful tale
These are good but there's a lawyer who puts up billboards in Phoenix whose whole shtick is that he's jacked, that feels even more Phoenix-coded than the Husband and Wife Law Team
If this weren't so horrifying, the idea of the Palantir dweebs as the standard-bearers for a "culture producing vital advances" would be beyond fucking hilarious
Luke Kennard’s hairline is doing a lot of representation for those of us dudes who are gearing up for some tough conversations with the barber
"Peshawar Lancers" is one of my absolute favorite alternate histories!
We're live now! Come hang out, Past Lives patrons!
My mistake on that end, it’s now
Live discussion of Unwomanly Face of War starts in two hours - 3 Pacific, 6 ET - for Past Lives subscribers! www.patreon.com/2554997/even...
I think part of the reason the Pope thing is hitting so much is that modern life is so devoid of *any* morality, any system of right and wrong that is not completely hollow and fraudulent, which hits as halfway sensible and opposed to Trump and those like him, feels absolutely revolutionary
