Former Mass Effect writer recently at Quintessence Games. Less frequently: short stories, novels, TTRPGs, comics, TV. Random jokester, distractible bother, compensates for morbid streak. Some political posts.

Polymarket has created a market that would monetize a nuclear attack amid increasing concerns that bets are happening among government insiders who can make military decisions.

What stage of the apocalypse is this?

I am absolutely just guessing but my bet is that they got real-time intel on Khamenei's exact location and asked zero follow-up questions about who else was there.

Oh and just remember - once you’ve decided a minority’s human rights are up for debate, you’ve decided HUMAN RIGHTS ARE UP FOR DEBATE.

To everybody who framed all of this as β€œThe Trans Debate,” well done! You’ve opened the door to The Anybody Debate.

1/ I was reading an investigative piece about Viktor Orban's party scrambling before Hungary's 2026 elections. Buried in it was something that stopped me cold. His team was panicking because social media companies had changed how they operate in the EU. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Of all the quotes I have read today, I think this one shook me the most as it rings so true to what we are seeing. The never ending emergencies. The constant crisis but yet him speaking of the β€œNew Golden Age” and the β€œamazing economy”

We live in the stupidest time since we ALL KNOW BETTER.

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"

Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

It should be much more at the forefront of our minds, the extent to which the most politically activated and politically empowered segment of the authoritarian American cult calling itself "Christian" see the apocalypse as something to hasten, not prevent.

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

I wrote this comic 2 years ago. I was terrified when I wrote it but had hope it wouldn't come to pass and would be a reminder of how bad things got before we pulled back.

It not only has, it has gotten even worse. This is absolutely terrifying and will destroy lives if passed.
