Here's the painting I made for the cover. Primarily acrylic inks on Bristol. After this, I made a few physical and digital changes before settling on a final draft.

Hey there #ironkingdoms fans! I had some ideas on national origins, aka subraces, for humans in the IK. What's an Umbrean? A Sinari? Is a Clamorgan tribesman 'Cygnaran'? Tattered Banners is a free, fan-made #5e #dnd #Ironkingdomsrequiem supplement. drive.google.com/file/d/12BdY...

What is the Constitution? YouTube video by Michael Yee

I forgot about this movie, but this clip is especially poignant in the current US political discourse.

Text: npr 山 The State Department is changing its mind about what it calls human rights The agency's annual human rights reports are being purged of references to prison conditions, political corruption and other abuses. Graham Smith • April 18, 2025 05:00 AM EDT

Maybe I’m being overly critical but this feels like such a soft, passive headline. “Aw, we’re just going a different direction right now. Just switching it up a little bit away from those pesky quote unquote ‘human rights.’ Anyway! Who wants snacks?”

With these posts, they’ve made it essentially inarguable that they’re deliberately defying the Supreme Court.

a democratic politician calling out fox news hosts by name and identifying them as villains is necessary and has been sorely lacking

It's now been over a month since Trump sent innocent man Andry Hernández to one of the world's worst prisons because of "Mom" and "Dad" tattoos. Like the others, he is being imprisoned with no contact with the outside world.

Don't let him be forgotten.

I think a great player aid would be "basic IK history for PCs" based on where they're from and their species. "Trollkin? From Llael? Read these two short things."

I'm laughing but deep inside a younger past me with deadlines is screaming.

Each further core book expands on the history relative to the area featured - borderlands, Cryx, wild places - but that history wouldn't be common knowledge to a typical Western Immoren native.

Hi! I would recommend the core Iron Kingdoms Requiem book, and the GM Toolkit PDF that came with the Requiem Kickstarter had a good timeline with highlights. That was also in the Humble Bundle. From an RPG perspective, what's in the intro brings it current to Requiem (617 AR).

Musk staffers gained access to a system at the Interior Department. We had resisted their attempts for about two weeks to obtain administrative access to the program. Two IT officials who stood their ground are now on administrative leave and under investigation.

The Trump administration has ostensibly turned every airport into a stationary white-van to black bag people ala Portland in 2020.

Their is a high probability that many of us would get run on facial recognition & disappeared either now or in the near future.

This is a reality we have to confront.

When sabotage is the point, is it really "going wrong" for DOGE and the administration?

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income.

A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income.

Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?

This is amazing.

There’s a tool for tracking the people b our government has been disappearing.

But also… the government of the United States of America is openly disappearing people.

You don't say? What is Putin wanting them to do there? Loop me in on the group chat. #fascism

At this point fascist power grabbing and arbitrary firings are highly usual. Do better @nytimes.com and use vocabulary you would use for literally any other country.

THIS COULD HAVE BEEN US. Instead, footdragging and hem-hawing may have cost us our democracy.
