I'm doing commissions now! If you want some custom art, hit me up either here or on discord (thechirurgeon).

In this week's road through 2025 I hit up the Ottawa 8 man teams tournament. Come read about it www.goonhammer.com/thechirurgeo...

Trump is probably just doing all of this to distract us from commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Sega Saturn's disastrous North American surprise launch

This is bad, but the obvious solution is to: -Reconstitute ACIP under a new name privately -Have American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and other bodies say they'll follow their standards -Insurers will follow; ROI for most vaccines is very positive

Today Jay "Lorehunter" Kirkman looks at Gav Thorpe's The High Kahl's Oath!

This week on Mayday, Miss Marcy! I get some help from the Dads @captainraffi.bsky.social and @thechirurgeon.bsky.social and then answer a particularly heavy question a lot of queers face: When will you love yourself enough to leave harmful spaces? www.goonhammer.com/mayday-miss-...

If you have questions related to hobbying, from player etiquitte to 'are you the asshole' to advice on just about anything, we're looking for submissions! You can submit them to @goonhammer.com for us (me) to answer by leaving comments on the latest edition of the article!

I have to go to bed but real quick Ernie has always been in the wrong and Bert has always been absolutely correct to be frustrated by Ernie’s chaotic bullshit

The Road Through 2025 continues for TheChirurgeon! This week he's back from the GW US Open Dallas and talking about his experiences.

Dan "Swiftblade" Richardson went to the Dallas Open to play Kill Team, and by golly did he. Part one of his report on the Warhammer Open:

I'm back from Dallas, talking about my games and what's next. www.goonhammer.com/thechirurgeo...

Today's Age of Sigmar refresh for the Scourge of Ghyran is the Flesh-Eater Courts!

My wife and her friends are taking part in a charity tournament benefiting the Transgender Law Center today! Come check it out and consider donating if you can!

senate democrats' unanimous (yes that includes your faves) endorsement of marco rubio gets more appalling and morally bankrupt by the hour. just an all-timer

This week we let Bernhardt out of his bad movie prison to start watching good vampire movies (the 90s set are all heaters), and he kicks things off with 1994's interview with a vampire www.goonhammer.com/century-of-t...

I'm testing Coterie of the Conceited in this week's Road Through: www.goonhammer.com/thechirurgeo...

Really excellent piece today from @jellymuppet.bsky.social on tariffs, hobby, and gaming.

I will quit my job and work for any candidate who promises to put the leadership of this administration in the same overseas gulag they've been shipping people to

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Did an interview about hammer of math with the lads over at the Contact Lost podcast this week - check it out: www.youtube.com/live/huHEYdN...

The Road Through 2025 continues for TheChirurgeon! This week its a games double-feature, with Creations of Bile vs. Bridgehead Strike and Emperor's Children vs. T'au.

the supreme court essentially nullified or read the reconstruction amendments entirely backwards for almost a century. the current supreme court believes they mandate rather than forbid racial discrimination

NYU's administrators getting jealous that Columbia had stolen their long time title as the worst-run university in the city

Which is why the advice I give is 'Do not have a Steam forum'. A lot of devs do not know it's possible to just lock your forums entirely and have a single stickied post saying 'Come join our properly moderated and vetted Discord or fuck off, your choice'.

Sure, Miyazaki called AI art "an affront to life itself" but he also probably said that about his son after watching Tales From Earthsea

They convinced Americans that an economic boom was a painful recession in order to help Trump win and cause an actual painful recession

in all seriousness: one of the most important philosophical questions of our time

Jeffrey Goldberg ate one bite of his steak and left the rest on the bone. www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

insane shit enacted by despicable people at one of the world's richest companies

Read thoughts from some of the best authors at Black Library and when you're done, go support their work. www.goonhammer.com/black-librar...

It should be a major scandal that the Social Security Administration made it harder for parents to register their babies in Maine to punish the President's enemies www.nytimes.com/2025/03/24/u...

Zero harm and ample upside in Democrats calling for impeachments and a special prosecutor. The VP, the Secretaries of State, Defense, and Treasury, the DNI, and the NSC were all involved in the grossly negligent disclosure of specifics on combat operations.

Thanks so much @thechirurgeon.bsky.social for this AMAZING artwork, perfectly captured the essence of what I imagine the Hounds of Alemannia are. #spacemarines #mittenhammer #warhammer40k #goonhammer

i think the takeaway we should have for the idea that "staffs exist" is that they actually don't; the government is being run by a few hundred people under the tight leash of a few dozen people. this is because there is no constituency anywhere for the constellation of views held by administration.

anyway, this is why the Jeffries idea that we should avoid swinging at every pitch is such a nonstarter: they do not have enough trusted lieutenants to deal with a flood-the-zone approach in any way other than by collapsing.

no one ever cared about EMAILS. the media had a "big story that hurts clinton" sized space in their coverage and (after some trial balloons) landed on EMAILS being the thing that best fit in there. goal was always to prevent democrats from getting or using power.

if they'd have done the vance meme to trump instead he'd have literally declared martial law by now

a fascist censorship engine, at home and abroad

it's a segregationist party and its goal is resegregation

Trump & Musk want people to starve. Call your R reps and tell them to restore food bank aid. If they're Christian, feel free to quote Matthew 25:45: "He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’" Find your reps here: reps.fyi
