Honestly, that's my biggest fear. I can't think of an example in history where Fascism has been defeated at the ballot box. Free and fair mid-term elections are likely a fantasy in 2026.

History challenge: Can anyone name a single fascist regime that was successfully voted out of office in a free and fair election? I’ll wait (hint: there isn't one).

Howling Giant's Crucible & Ruin has been on heavy rotation for me too. Elder's new EP too. Good stuff.

Wow Chris, you're responsible for a ton of my enjoyment over the last several decades. Thank you for everything and I hope you end up doing something super fun in the future. Please keep us all looped in whatever you do next! Take care!

Having trouble selling your Tesla? Well, don't worry, scheduling your own Tesla theft is a few clicks away.

Glad to have you back in the group chat again.

Pete seems like the kind of guy who probably uses the eggplant emoji a lot

Honest mistake - classified documents are actually part of the hidden menu at Arby's.

It's an amazing political gift dropped into the laps of every democrat, but my party has a distinct lack of balls lately.

It all makes sense now.

So did Caesar.

Wow...

Send Meta an invoice for the usage. Make the number (very) large.

Inconceivable!

He’s at the “Finding Out” stage.

This is gold.

When I see a child on a leash, I always ask the parent if he's from a rescue or a breeder.

Musk is the successful son Trump never had.

I use Apple Notes but never considered tagging things for “next time” ideas. I dig it.

This is a super cool idea. Do you create sub-folders or files with things happening soon and farther in the future?

Praying that McDonalds cheese burgers can finish what the sniper couldn't.

I loved GURPS in college, but yeah, it certainly did not fly off the shelves compared to D&D back then.
