Can we just marvel at how fucked up a country has to be to need "sanctuary cities" for its own citizens?

These are 3D-printed models, bought from Printed By Aliens" on Etsy. I chose them because:
• resin… I'm tired of the smell of pewter & chipped paint
• each is a single piece (plus base)—no gluing arms and such
• fun outfits
• nice pose/weapon variety

Painted up some ratmen for an upcoming Ptolus campaign. I gave each a diff color scheme so we can tell them apart on the tabletop. In my miniature-painting revival (and with my "old man" eyes) I've given up on dealing with tiny details, so this is a basic paint job … but I like how they turned out!

Photograph of ten painted ratmen minis in a "bowling pin" formation. Each is wearing a simple cloth shift (like a monk's robe) with or without a hood. All except the front one have brown fur and yellow eyes, the front one has white fur and pink eyes. Each has a different color scheme for its clothing and weapons: back row is red, orange, rich yellow, green. Second row is blue, light grey, purple. Third row is dark grey, cyan. Front row is pale yellow.

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.

Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.

Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

Screenshot from Farm Bureau article on farm bankruptcies. It shows farm bankruptcies climbing steadily 2014-2020, falling by half in 2021, & continuing to fall through 2023.

In the spirit of wild politics and Halloween, I post this gem. (This is a Christine O'Donnell, Tea Party Republican, creationist, abstinance-only, anti-masturbation, serial liar, & grifter, who released a video explaining she wasn't a witch [later songified].)

Great last-minute pumpkin-carving tip for Halloween slackers like me: cut out the BOTTOM of the pumpkin, not the top, it makes the whole scooping and candle setup so much easier! Here's a bloggers longer explanation, with more exclamation points. happyhooligans.ca/pumpkin-carv...

I love this silly Halloween jokes meme. (See alt text for a transcription) #ghost

HALLOWEEN JOKES
Green page with a "bedsheet"-style ghost. A call-and-answer style of jokes, with the ghost trying to answer the questions.

Q: What do ghosts eat for supper?
Ghost: the sOUls of scrEAminG chilDREn
A: Spooketti!
Ghost: What
Q: Why are ghosts so bad at lying?
Ghost: Death frees us from mistruths and deception
A: Because you can see right through them!
Ghost: What purpose does spreading this misinformation serve

I think of this clip every election cycle.

or
"Count people, not corn"

Just in case someone missed this detail:
Wells Fargo used the ICE orks to clear out a building of lawful residents to make a buck

Again, a military terror purge was carried out with naked children in handcuffs for the benefit of Wells Fargo execs

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.
