The turn of Marjorie Taylor Greene lately has me wondering if she was paid a visit in the dead of night be the spirits of MAGA past, present and future.

I was charged by a bull elephant in the Serengeti.

Veiled City beta test continues to grow. I'm at 48 beta testers, and only two short of my goal for 50! We're finding lots of bugs and fixing them fast. I think this game might actually be... fun?

A black robed wizard, embroided with stars, stands on top of a stone peak. Behind him, the vastness of the world. The early morning creeps amidst the ravines, painting the world in coy lilacs and deep purples. A city of horned spires jolts from the stony wastes, illuminated in bright cosmopolitan oranges. An alien zeppelin flares out its floodlights at the rooftops and beyond. The wizard stares at the viewer, though we do not see within his cloak and hood. Blackness. From the void creeps out two marble-white hands, old as time, covered in rings, gesturing in unknown signs. OMIOS URES

Two Carverine (orc-like humanoids), a male and a female, ride alongside eachother, on top of war hippos. They hold each other's arms. With the other hand, the female orc displays a freshly decapitated head - the enemy king. While the male lifts his axe up in prideful show. Both orcs have red hair and pinkish-gray skin, similar to the hippos they ride upon. The carverine have long, elephant like tusks, and wear minimal bronze armor.

A giant cyclops. Slender, female. Her armor is golden bronze, made of large plates with shield-sized domes protusions, which help veer off attacks. She wears a golden diadem, golden earrings, and her single eye is bright blue. Her armor shines from the warm light that trickles into the large chamber, pouring in from an off-scene oculus. Her face partially in the dark, tall that she is, only illuminated partially by the bounce lighting of her armor. Her right arm adjusts her belt, while her left arm is lifted, underneath it; we see a shirtless servant on top of a tall staircase, tying the laces of her bracer. The staircase is built of beige stone. The bracer is almost the size of this person. By the cyclops' feet, we see two other servants donning her greaves. One of them holds the giant slab of bronze in place, while the other, behind the cyclops' calf, ties up the laces. The floor is a white marble tile, giving the entire scene a slight reflection. Did you know a single greave of this Cyclops weighs around 150 kilos? Behind the Princes Warrior, we see a 2 story tall greataxe. It is brightly illuminated by the single shaft of light that brightens the entire room. In fact, the entire scene is illuminated either by the natural light, or the bounce lighting of the cyclops' armor, giving the entire painting a warm look. The chamber is large and tall, made of stone, to accomodate the Princess Warrior. A small brazier burns incense, permeating the room with a pleasant odor of cloves. Behind the Cyclops and her servants, three noble folk overlook her befitting from a balcony. The balcony sits at the height of the Cyclops' head. One woman smokes, the man in the middle lifts a goblet with a grin, and the leftmost woman looks simply bored. There's a glass pitcher hewn with gold half-filled with wine next to them.

Heavily inspired by Morrowind, Planescape and 70's Star Wars with a dash of bronze age and art nouveau. The mood? Conan after Conan: all the heroes are dead and this is the world they built.

That's OMIOS URES, my weird fantasy RPG. And it's FREE on itch.io!

In the direction of entertainment and not news media, I cannot recommend @dropout.tv enough.

I guess I am not surprised. I don't know of any person on the planet I disagree with more than Clarence Thomas.

America has no decency anymore, but even worse, everything in America is designed to strip us of our *dignity,* to sell it for parts. It's just so unjust and inhumane here. I am not surprised that anyone who has the means is fleeing. I wish I could. I wish I could give my son a better future.

I'm seeing this across many client sites. I set up some Cloudflare challenge rules today to mostly block the bot traffic from the tencent IP range where a lot of it comes from. Let me know if you need any info, I can share the exact rule I found to install.

If you're a trans person in Kansas who had your drivers license invalidated, you can absolutely trust @marisakabas.bsky.social to handle your story with care. I vouch for her 100%.

I think it's the lenses they use. Everybody shoots wide open. Seeing the foreground and the background at the same time is deeply out of cinematic fashion.

We've got 42 active betatesters for the conspiracy-themed Veiled City browser game, and my goal is to get 50 for this play. Will you help? Sign up and play here:

This is what happens when you get six hours of sleep due to fixing bugs all night. Thanks. It's veiledcity.com

I am ashamed of my state for this. Sometimes I wish Kansas would split into two state - east and west. Western Kansas overwhelms us politically in the east, thanks to creative gerrymandering. You should see the district map for my district. Ridiculous.

Thank you, Jordan!

I need to pick up another retainer relationship in 2026 just to keep up with my insurance rate increases for my family, but I'm pretty good at what I do, so let me know if we can work together!

that's interesting. Nobody seems to care if you're using a hammer, but the higher the complexity, the more the tools impact the impressiveness of it? Or is it the relative newness of the tool?

Happy Woims Wednesday to all who celebrate

Oh, I'm not that concerned about numbers. I just want to interact with real humans.

yeah feels like everything's been optimized around maximum eye time, not engagement. Then again, there are a lot of reasons *not* to engage too, as it can embroil you in weird stuff you don't have time for.

I guess we'll just have to build our own new sky site, with blackjack, and etc etc.

We're at ~40 playtesters so far and my goal is to get to 50, so if you're considering joining in, we'd love to have you!

What percentage of this platform's accounts are bots? I almost never pick up new human followers. I just get attractive young women with 1 follower and no posts following hundreds of people.

For some reason, I have not cracked the code of how to engage iwth Bluesky the way I did the bird site.
