People who think that sending innocent people to a gulag without due process is acceptable collateral damage in order to "fix a broken system" should have to volunteer to be that collateral damage. And, long-term, they might end up being just that.
Forgot to share this back around when it was taken. Torchbearer 2nd edition at Genghis Con 2025.
I think The Neptune Power Federation is just my favorite band, now.

Caveat: The headline here is in terms of economy, not power.
Portrait of Isolde Centrella in Magistracy Armed Forces uniform with pistol in a chest holster and Magistracy of Canopus emblem.
Also apparently I need to go read the Empire Alone sourcebook. I didn't realize it covered the Magistracy of Canopus and introduced a new character. Just from the sarna.net entry I'm already a fan and I hope we get to see more of Isolde Centrella. #Battletech
I need to get caught up on my reading so I can crack open the Valentine's Day Battletech release: store.catalystgamelabs.com/products/bat...
“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said.
Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.
Just overheard a guy, coming up to a group of guys, say "Well look at this group of Trump supporters."
Not sure if this is a group of Trump supporters or if his tone was the same as a guy approaching a friend saying, "Well look at this mother fucker here."
We may be weird but at least we're breathing. At least we're alive. As long as we're dreaming, everything's gonna be alright.
Claim. They claim it will make it better. They claim they think that's true. Whether they actually think that is dubious.
This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.
It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

What about a superb owl?
I wouldn't put my phone in a blender because the telephone doesn't scare me anymore. (You're home)
Frankly I'd be much more concerned about the plastic dwarf warlord in the cereal box.
Everyone else out here heart-in-a-blender maxxing but I follow @eve6.bsky.social because they promised not to try not to fuck with my mind.
Working on some short fiction based on a Battletech campaign I'm playing in. Check out the first part!
Cover of the Katana-Ra tabletop role-playing game Core Rulebook by W.R.K.S Games.
@campyvampy.bsky.social picked this up today from Enchanted Grounds on a whim. I've not heard about @wrksgames.bsky.social before but the book is beautiful. Look forward to reading it and maybe running a session or two!
Privileged people will complain even if protesters act in exactly the same way as Dr. King. Marches and sit-ins in the 60s blocked traffic, bridges, and businesses. Then and now convenience is more important than lives and equality to the privileged. They talk about running over protesters.
This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.
Not as much to look at, but some of us from the Colorado Battletech group at Wizard's Chest in Denver tried out warships and fighter squadron rules on Tuesday, using some prints and some Star Wars minis. A good time and very instructional as to why the 1st Succession War saw so much attrition.
I do want to now that as of Feb 5 I have heard coverage on NPR on the radio of this story. I have also heard increased dedication to truth and calling out lies and making speakers back up what they say. Thank you @npr.org .
@npr.org WHY are you not covering Musk and DOGE's takeover of OPM and the Treasury department? The cybersecurity risk here is enormous and in contravention of Congress' cybersecurity directives to federal agencies.

He's not working weekends, he's doing crimes on the weekend. Not the same thing.
Normally it would be the FBI and the DoJ.
NEW: Elon Musk's friends have infiltrated another government agency, and they're trying to use White House credentials to access General Services Administration tech, giving them the potential to remote into laptops, read emails, and more, sources say: www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
Oh man, I've been wanting this one.
