Should be starting up Mordheim next month. My Skaven warband, Skritch's Ruin Runners

Some of the warbands in Trench Crusade can use dogs. My Mercy Dog (carries medi-kits) did a lot of work today. He was a very good boy.

Misery shared is misery lessened, I mutter to myself as I once again strap myself into the Contraption. No one forces me to do this, I do this out of a desperate urge to feel something, anything in these troubled times.

The Mamdani stuff is funny but we all know Trump just agrees with the last person he talks to. Miller and Navarro will have him calling for Mamdani to be deported tomorrow

Much like USAid, if the rest of the world wanted to replace what the US has done for the last 80 years, they would have been doing it already

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

Painted some more Grogs for Turnip 28. I made the new guys white/gray because I'll use them as Old Guard and they'll be differentiated from the Grogs. Problem is it makes me want to paint two whole armies of Grogs in blue and white because it's giving me French and Austrian Napoleonic Wars vibes.

Just feel like giving a hearty fuck you to all the "Biden's old" take havers last year.

You actually can do that. I've worked in these fabs and they literally did it all the time.
Trump: "You can't come in, open up a massive computer chip factory…and think you're going to hire people off an unemployment line to run it. They're going to have to bring thousands of people with them, and I'm going to welcome those people."

Literally just lectured about this!

In the late 1960s, air quality was so bad in several cities they had to turn on the street lights during the day so drivers could see. And yeah, the Cuyahoga River was so polluted it literally caught on fire.
Oh, I don’t know. Our rivers no longer catch on fire and our air is far less poisonous than it used to be, even in smog bowls like Los Angeles. And I think those are good things.

I would be pretty hilarious if this worked as well as it did for Ted Kennedy when they tried to keep a Republican from taking his seat. That was some pretty funny shit at the time
“.. their strategy hasn’t worked out as planned. In fact, it now looks like Trump and House GOP leaders may have been better off not doing anything at all.” 🤡

Yeah. Color me skeptical that anything is released or that they don't have some contingency to continue blocking them. The whole GOP didn't just roll over on this out of nowhere
this just means the files have been scrubbed clean, yeah?

I love that I have to wonder if the package was actually damaged or if Trump's tariff bullshit caused this.

She's very clearly trying to be the Marine Le Pen to Trump's Jean-Marie, and has made a smart bet on the utter credulity of a large swath of the pundit class.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is standing up to Trump on the Epstein files, but she's also urging Dana Bash to interview outspoken antisemite Nick Fuentes. She wants to push Trump aside for something even worse.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Apologizes for Her ‘Toxic Politics’
Greene’s comments come as she is embroiled in a public feud with Trump over his refusal to release the Epstein files.

Same except how do they deal with the Epstein story and they come up with, "throw the most deranged member of the House under the bus"
i wish i could have been in the room when they were brainstorming how to solve the housing crisis and someone raised their hand and said "what about 50 year mortgages?"
