One of my favorites from Caitlin Johnstone: "US accuses Chinese warship of unsafe maneuver in the Taiwan Strait; China accuses US warships of being on the wrong side of the fucking planet."

Imagine suggesting a bill to wean people off their heart medication or insulin, anti depressants?

Bills that limit access to medical intervention be it abortion or transition are #Unconstitutional and #TheocraticFascism

The purpose is to destroy #Democracy and divide the country on the backs of the vulnerable.

This is a #HotWar and not a distraction. Imagine you were told to get your family members off their medical treatment?

These bills are against Medical Advice and are pure Nazi Fascism! Where are the lawsuits? These bills must be found #unconstitutional what about the right to privacy, the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

@Sacha I’d love this to be brought back too. One of my favourites. Is that the limited edition hardcover I see? #hotwar

@jamesgraham I have #ColdCity (predecessor of #HotWar I think) but I still need to finally play it.

#TTRPG things I want to try/revisit in 2023:
1. #Alien: bought the core book and starter set in a Black Friday sale so I need to get some use out of it.
2. #HotWar: have always had a good time with it and it deserves more love
3. #RuneQuest: I have a penchant for more crunchy fantasy
4. #Wraith: got the deluxe hardcover of W20 this year
5. #Kult: had a brief rekindling of interest in this and bought a bunch more books

Thought seeking feedback: refer to global warming as The Hot War

In the cold war, at least two countries found themselves in nuclear stalemate. If any acted (fired) everyone would have lost.

The #hotWar has been going on for a while now. Here we have several countries which significantly add GHGs to atmosphere, and if they don't restrict such actions, everyone loses.

Good: simple, familiar metaphor. Stresses the fact that humans are causative.

Bad: could bring out competition/nationalism.
