I have a weird thing (that I think is probably related to my autism, tbh) when it comes to seeing misinformation that I have an intense urge to correct it. Even dumb stuff. Pointless stuff. I can't really help it. Lately, I've been finding more and more public resistance to this. People double down.
The survey is back up!! Maybe they increased capacity. Have at it, share around!

pete hegseth is so bad at his job that we're like one tick away from the gray zone being like "actually, pete hegseth is good, because he effectively stands against american imperialism"
Trump is within sight of an under 30% overall approval rating.
One of the most important causes right now is to establish a media narrative and popular support behind severe punishments and consequences to our present criminals running things.
Picture it: Grantsville, West Virginia, 2000. Suddenly, residents of this small town are transported back to 1632 Germany. What comes next can be found within the pages of Eric Flint’s 1632 book series, also known as Ring of Fire.

Took this base photo at the Red Lion Cromwell hotel, a year or so after it closed for good; here are a few more shots from that visit! Never attended a con here when it was open, but still enjoyed checking the place out, and getting lost down the endless halls
I always thought Sun Tzu's "Art of War" was a little simplistic and obvious but it turns out yes, you do literally need to tell the Secretary of War "you need to feed your troops and keep them from being wiped out by preventable diseases"

every time i want to say “i’m not reading all that” i remind myself that we are in a literacy crisis and force myself to power through it
Lack of food and disease are something that all the cool and manly armies of the past were famously able to defeat with pure warfighter vigor. I see no way that removing vaccine requirements could harm Warfighter Readiness
Sun tzu: ok so you have to feed your soldiers
Prince: woah what the fuck. When did this happen
Sun tzu: since they were born. They also need to drink water, and poop somewhere. Did you forget they need to poop.
Prince: um
Sun tzu: an army can't win if it can't poop, my liege
Fun fact: after the battle of waterloo, farmers raided the battlefield (and others) for human and horse bones to crush and use as bonemeal fertilizer.
People also salvaged teeth from the corpses to sell dentures made out of them.
There was a boom market in human bones.

Lou Zocchi possessed many talents. He promoted an industry before it was even remotely an industry. He believed in the power of our community, its excellence, and always had fun. We shall not see his like again.
The Chaosium remembers you fondly Lou, and wishes you Vale and Farewell.

Forbes is gamifying news about the horrific mass shooting in Shreveport, LA this weekend, encouraging readers to bet on the likelihood of gun regulation with fake money via its "ForbesPredict" feature.

anyway. one thing I really appreciate in the boys is that its fascist dystopia targets all the people you'd think a fascist dystopia would target.
a lot of screen dystopias have this kind of color blind fascism (handmaid's tale for example) and I think that's really fucked up.

In times like these, i think of Crassus:
And the Parthians, as some say, poured molten gold into his mouth in mockery; for though a man of vast wealth, he had set so great store by money as to pity those who could not support an enrolled legion from their own means, regarding them as poor men.
The program randomly jams shit together. This piece of a manuscript ranting about the Templars. That piece of a manuscript babbling about quantum physics. This crayon-drawn manifesto shrieking about aliens.
