I am seriously contemplating taking my account private. Please make sure you follow me so we don’t lose touch. I am on several other platforms as well - the butterfly app under the same username so you should be able to find me fairly easily there. DM for further info.

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

Here’s the time Trump tried to body shame 1996 Miss Universe, Alicia Machado, and she wasn’t fucking having any of it.

Now that I am retired I was able to work 10 days straight with Charlie Kibler putting Army of the Potomac playbook to bed. Now with that game finished, worked on Triumvir, now Defiance on examples and setups. Finishing a game properly is not for the faint of heart.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

@RachelBitecofer “ Imagine Germany naming a barracks after Rommel.”

As a matter of fact, West Germany *did* name a warship after Rommel; my first employer after I graduated from college was a USN contractor working on the midlife overhaul for that ship and a couple of others.

@SandyofCthulhu One really cool thing about Mongoose Traveller is that it includes the “Believer” career, wherein the player can portray a religious of one sort or another - anything from a bishop to a missionary to a holy warrior.

@darrenrovell She’s one of those people who age like a fine vintage.

Evening dress, 1905. Muzej za umjetnost i obrt, Zagreb.

Despite this I still get complaints. No love for honesty.

Recently I was targeted by an extremely sophisticated phishing attack, and I want to highlight it here. It exploits a vulnerability in Google's infrastructure, and given their refusal to fix it, we're likely to see it a lot more. Here's the email I got:

[The Players’ Aid @playersaidblog]

1st game of long weekend is Red Dragon Green Crescent Deluxe Edition from @Decisiongames This appears to be a fairly simple strategic level modern wargame (2020-2030) which was originally a magazine game now made deluxe. Designed by Joseph Miranda (originally Bruce Costello).

[JoeA64 @joea64]

@astraiaintel @Richard15163951 It actually is. Fellas are moving to the other place in literal droves.

[JoeA64 @joea64]

@HeatherThomasAF We’re still connected but I recommend you consider moving to BS. Lots of other people have.

[JoeA64 @joea64]

@SpaghettiKozak One hates to admit it but it’s understandable why a lot of Ukrainians are not wearing sackcloth and ashes over what happened Tuesday night.

[JoeA64 @joea64]

@backlotsfilm I’ve got a British book on fashion history for which both Moira Shearer and Vivien Leigh modeled, as well as several other well-known UK actresses and socialites. I think I may post about it on BS today.

[JoeA64 @joea64]

@Mamievandoren Come over to BS or Thre@ds, it's much better over there.

[JoeA64 @joea64]

@letsgohawksgpg My counsel to you is to start moving to another SM platform like BS or Thre@ds. The vibe there is completely different, far less trash and much more real communication.
