Fellow Americans, you and I pay the men who killed Alex Pretti. We bought the pepper spray they used to blind him.
We bought the guns and the bullets used to summarily execute him.
Our money pays officials to lie about his murder.
They picked our pockets and are terrorizing us with the proceeds.

If there's a general strike and I walk off the dayjob while still writing at home, I'm technically a both scab and a striker. A man of two faces, one foot in two worlds. Born to be a prince, chose to be a a pauper.

This isn't going to be the last time. The administration will stand by its Proud Boys and Oathkeepers, the goons will feel empowered, and more triggers will be pulled in even less excusable circumstances. It only ends when we decide it ends — either because we gave in, or because we stopped it.

One of my deathbed memories will surely be our discussion about the similarities between 40k and life in Hong Kong
And great time to mention I'm on a Necron spree — "Infinite and the Divine" is next on my list 🎯
(Just finished Severed by @frogcroakley.bsky.social and WOW. I'm spoiling myself.)

The best direct flight to HK I could put my family on left from NY, so I did seven hours of driving today, some in rush hour traffic…
…and had a *good-ass time* doing it, because it meant I could listen to the climax of ELEMENTAL COUNCIL by @noahvannguyen.bsky.social

@heretical-hatter.bsky.social This is incredible. I see your older version too. I can absolutely imagine different members in the intelligence cliques wearing their own caste's version, too.
Fun fact, I spent a long time trying to figure out what to name the Hundred Eyes. My first draft had them...

Per my request - a great artist (Hayden Lumpkin) - with whom I work with for my Star Wars x Warhammer 40k crossover - created symbols for the Hundred Eyes.
The organization YOU created.
What do you think?

Just saw Predator: Badlands and holy shit. Just wow. 11/10 so much story, phenomenal acting, teach me your ways Dek and Dan Trachtenberg. Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, Elle Fanning, and the anonymous soldier android actor(s?) killed it. I don't even know what to do with my life now.

Thank you for asking @lumi-nee.bsky.social :)
Gave me a reason to do long-awaited magnetizing.
Back in 3rd ed. I chose the shadow grey color scheme they illustrated (maps pretty closely on to Sa'cea). I played around with it over some years. If I could redo it I would try and reproduce that camo!)

Yndrasta was a fun one to write. I have this monster story that I thought would be cool for her: a horror story in Sigmaron where she's hunting down a beast that chews up Stormcast for fun. Kind of like "Murder by Moonlight" turned on its head.
What a better place to read @noahvannguyen.bsky.social’s Yndrasta than on a train through Alaska? It feels right. #BlackLibrary #WarhammerCommunity
