the only way they could be clearer is by opening every single book they publish with a note that the Imperium is the absolute worst and cruelest government that has ever existed anywhere and life inside it is a ceaseless nightmare for close to 100% of its inhabitants

It's almost time for Mortal Kombat at @basearcade.bsky.social. The arcade is all geared up for the Mortal Kombat II tournament tomorrow evening. #gaming #arcade

Godzilla Minus One is a work of art.
