All servicewomen serving in combat roles already have to meet stringent gender-neutral physical standards.

But Secretary Hegseth is intent on smearing those women as unqualified — and pushing all women out of military service.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Moves to Push Women Out of the Military

From eliminating the Pentagon’s gender advisory committee to misrepresenting women’s combat readiness, Hegseth’s record shows a clear campaign against women in uniform.

EVERY time i do ANYTHING outside the house

Is it worth taking MAJOR painkillers

Is it worth the major amounts of discomfort

I'll let you in on a secret, I am in an INSANE amount of pain every time you see me in public

I mask my pain cause I don't want to upset anyone

I want to try to have fun

“Fog of war”
“Hidden in plain sight”
“Don’t ask where it came from”
“One life at a time”
“Under the stars”

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

I wrote one for Dr McCoy that expands on the aftermath of Kirk’s death in “Generations”

and a fun easter egg for who the Orions were dealing with in the 23rd century

A vulcan lovestory that is sweet

Also, the weight of being a Section 31 agent and more!

I can finally talk about this 🙂

I was asked to write more sidebars in this new book. It was an absolute honor to work on this book.

These are probably some of my favorite fiction that I have written so far.

The Goo Filled Lebron goo has become hard over the years. Because of this though you can break his arms with a loud snap and then Lebron heals himself after a few hours. Then you can break his arm again.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

had a bit of an exciting morning in the TTRPG space.

I got recognized for my work on the podcast. I used to DM and produced called terrible warriors.

I also found out through my FLGS that I am one of the more popular and in demand game masters for Dnd and other systems

That really made my day

Its kinda amazing how much authentic it feels to the time and vibe of the talk show.

Genuinely really enjoying it

More than a century after the massacre at Čaŋkpé Opí (Wounded Knee), the U.S. still honors the soldiers who carried it out. In a new piece, guest writer Amelia Mavis-Christnot examines Trump’s decision to preserve those medals—and the deeper history of erasure it reflects.

Čaŋkpé Opí (Wounded Knee) Is In My DNA

There’s no honor in genocide, Pete.
