THE CROWDFUND FOR NEW EDGE SWORD & SORCERY 2025 IS LIVE

Three issues - a Sword & Planet special - a New Jirel of Joiry story...

The more re-posts this gets, the more bonus stories will be added to this year's issues!

We got a DOGE staff list. From a McKinsey alum to a former Clarence Thomas clerk, here are the workers powering Elon Musk's cost-cutting squad. A list of White House DOGE staffers shows about 30 young tech, finance, and legal professionals remaking the federal government.

Here's a list of DOGE staff, assembled and annotated by my colleagues at BI. Whatever you do, please don't share it.

Fed employees, have to periodically take online refresher training on various subjects like safety and security. One of them has always been Whistleblower Protections.

We got an email last week letting us know that that particular training was completely removed from TMS.

Not suspicious at all. 😐

Another flash tail (or is it tale?) of Fierge the Great White Rat.

Billionaires should not exist.

A wild update, yo:

Alas, our rosters are always full by the time we advertise a crowdfund (open subs tend to be in August).

However, if this special issue sells well we will look at publishing a New Edge Sword & Planet full color, digest-sized standalone magazine.

So please, tell your friends and enemies about us!

Is it safe to assume the ToC is complete, and that no more stories are being considered?

If so, will there possibly be another S&P issue in the future? Because I’ve been known to spin such a yarn…

Every Friday…

I’m shocked! Shocked, I tell you! 😐

I wonder how many Elons and Donalds have recently helped fund the zoo…

Actions have consequences

Chicken here. Along with Lumpia.

Hey, Alexa, play David Bowie.

What if… 🙄

What Robert E. Howard had written Redwall…

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees:

Don’t accept a buyout.

Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.

And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?

Sincerely,

Robert Reich
Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

There’s a big lawsuit everyone should know about. It’s the one that could boot Elon Musk and the DOGE dudes out of Treasury and kill their access to our payment systems. Learn about it in my write-up: https://buff.ly/4jMI4pO

Syd is there.

Represent. #skyrim4life

Time to clean up the beard. Seeing wild hairs sticking out when I look down.

More of this, please.

Always rubbin’ shoulders with the cool kids. Supa jelly.

If only someone had warned Trump supporters (and non-voters) that this could very well happen. But how could they have possibly known?
