Brawler and . Note how flanking doesn't give any bonuses out of the box, but if players want to play with it, here are the rules for them to enjoy. They can design abilities that rely or become better with flanking!

Also, bind and wind (which is a very principled medieval fencing move!) is the first rule in that refers to a rule that's on another non-core card 🤫

Elijah McCoy was born in 1844 in Ontario to formerly-enslaved parents from Kentucky. They saved enough to send him to Scotland to study mechanical #engineering. When he returned and couldn't get work in his field, he took a job as a train oilman and invented a method of automatic lubrication that eliminated the frequent stops trains had to make to oil up axles & bearings. Railroad companies asking for his product rather than copycat devices spawned the phrase "the real McCoy." #BlackHistoryMonth

I stand under the shower's spray—blood from my would-be usurper clone twisting down the drain—and slowly realize all my scars are missing…

Ukrainian U20 decathlon champion Volodymyr Androschuk died in a battle near Bakhmut on Jan 25.
A promising athlete and a true hero, he could have been able to participate in the Olympic Games in Paris, if russia hadn’t invaded Ukraine
Why do russians still have this privilege?

Here's how you run an investigation! A supporting content from Feb 6.

A peculiar fireplace.

A explanation of the reason why is only one out of the three wide chimneys on the roof is tainted with the black smoke residue! The fireplace isn't as deep as one would think.

@jonn @cblgh yeah they managed to scrape my origin server behind Cloudflare from IPv4 manually (there's no hostname pointed at it) and then attacked it directly. it took my site down for a few minutes until I added rules in AWS to block everything except Cloudflare's IPs.

I didn’t really expect such a small change as ripping our Twitter link out of #LineaSketch and replacing it with our Mastodon to feel as good as it did but boy, did it. Lots more to go. 👍

a long and beautifully introspective text that unfortunately entirely ignores the main, most obvious and prominent problem, distracted by interesting, complex details:

no problem in reading the #russian classics even despite all it's imperialistic load...

...if one already knows and understands it's own classics!

that's exactly the problem: #pushkin (as a symbol of the russian world) has always tried to _replace_ local cultures!

don't you see it, clever analysts?

In case you wonder how progress looks like. A war crime opener into war crimes, sprinkled with some more war crimes. They can't do proper house-to-house combat while taking towns, so they resort to this.

P.S. There's more than ethics and morals when it comes to waging a lawful war. There's also pragmatism. If and its people who are waging this war would want to retain the occupied territories and exploit them as conquerors would normally do, they would've waged a just war. The things they do is a clear indicator that they're interested in things *other than* the territory and *other than* exploitation of Ukraine. They are interested in PR. A soldier vanya is interested in r*ping and stealing, an officer borya is interested in not getting assaulted by zagradotryad kadyrovites, general tolik is interested in reporting "progress" and the people at the top are interested in showing their population that they are strong and capable. And this is important — their population: babushkas, village alcoholics and even moscovites and those living in the swamps of neva... Most of them are happy that someone finally got it worse than them. And that someone is so close, nearby! They listen to their pundits whenever their army makes "progress" and they are elated, ecstatic. We see that in the polls that actual independent journalists from inside russia publish on youtube. These are the real goals of the war. And today's video of russian war crimes from Maryinka illustrates it by showing army's modus operandi.

I keep being both ahead and behind of at the same time.

In the spirit of time traveling, here's the Feb 4th entry.
