This week on the blog, we talk about insurrections, ancient and modern and what it means when an armed mob tries to seize the seat of government: https://t.co/YpOIBLs3Bf

Also, in the same post, pictures of our two new cats.

My good friend, magnificent GM, and excellent indie writer @EhsJaySaunders has an interesting story that gives him a unique perspective on recent events. Well worth the read (both this thread and his books)!

This week on the blog: I discuss how my study of ancient history - and in particular the ways in which ancient self-governing communities collapse into self-destructive internal violence - informs my role as a citizen in a republic: https://t.co/kZlkkhKRJJ

I gave away most of my X-Wing minis, but I kept that red-striped TIE/IN. 😉

In the public interest of giving everyone something to do while they're inside w/ no sports to watch this weekend, all OOTS e-books are 50% off (coupon code: washyourhands), and On the Origin of PCs is now pay-what-you-can (min $0). Stay home, read comics. https://t.co/Wh9MiD3Jp2

@EhsJaySaunders This place has way too much going on. Let's go to a less eventful planet instead. How about Lehon?

School administrators and surveillance companies want you to trust that, while they could use surveillance technologies to abuse their power, they wouldn’t. It’s not a matter of trust–they shouldn’t have this power in the first place. https://t.co/IKKM71LF0g

Surveillance does not equal safety. It undermines student trust in their learning environments, isn’t effective at keeping them safe, and reinforces systemic injustice. https://t.co/1EHkrfYydG

Oh, #StarWars #FFG #ttrpg! Where else can I spend five hours of my life pretending to be a slightly unhinged albino wookie madclaw Mandalorian armed with a missile tube with a flamethrower attached to it? 🔥😎🔥

Picard management tip: It's okay not to know things. Practice saying "I don't know." Go ahead. Say it.

Facebook shouldn't give politicians more power than ordinary users. Creating exemptions from the rules for people who are already powerful is simply a practical concession, one that will continue to harm the least powerful people in society. https://t.co/exasYFu94y
