Everyone's posting cool #portfolioday stuff so it'd be foolish not to get onboard.

I've been sculpting miniatures for the tabletop for a few years now, largely on my own. Here are some that I'm proud of!

I'm finishing something up this week, but then I'll be open for commissions and collabs again!

Dieselpunk airship, bristling with guns and appointed with a dramatic skull figurehead

A collection of ramshackle tanks, clearly made of scrap and piloted by goblins

A squad of Spectres from the critically acclaimed game Titanfall, in 28mm miniature form

A collection of wall segments with various material finishes -- brick, metalwork, vents, pipes -- for tabletop terrain

Pretty cool that it turns out the deep state pedophile conspiracy was actually nothing to worry about

Israelis have a commendable history of publicizing the crimes and the systems of mass repression in which they were asked to participate. Every few years, we learn a new horrifying thing via open letter refusal to carry it out. You experienced a lifetime of that. What changed on October 10th, 2023?

Like, you weren't in favor of a ceasefire in 2003 when Israeli pilots went public with the fact that they were routinely ordered to drop bombs at random on Palestinian civilians? You were in favor of doing that for another 20 whole years? What is wrong with you?

What changed on October 10th, out of interest?

I ask simply because as long as I have been alive I've been reading news stories of the rampant horrors visited by the IDF and settlers upon journalists, children, families, farmers, negotiators, moderate politicians, protesters, and a host of others.

When was the last time America wasn't a police state and source of an alarming death toll? You guys have a social movement to reform one or both of these roughly every decade, and so far they've all been crushed or subverted by the regime.

my "I'm disabling my moderation labeler completely voluntarily of my own free will" post has people asking me a lot of questions that are answered by my post,

This is pretty much also true of trans rights, on which her full platform was she'd 'follow the law'. Are we to assume she was too dumb to see what laws were gaining traction? You can maybe understand how a lot of people were not enthusiastic about a candidate who loved to capitulate this much.

People kept asking her to stake out a position separate from Biden, who materially supported the genocide. She was given every opportunity to shape her messaging on her terms but instead refused and evaded. Which placed her, by default, supporting the genocide.

Well he was given the opportunity to hand them a shutdown much earlier in the year and instead caved, pissing all over the efforts of his colleagues and allowing things to get even worse, so I'm going to put a notch in the "not doing it well" column.

Even if it's not too tight, Hasan probably doesn't feed her age-appropriate food or something. And even if he does, there's something else. There has to be. I'm mad at this guy for internet reasons and I need there to be something.

Counter argument: It's good when a candidate has principles and stands for them. Genuine commitment is electric for voters. Politics is a thing you can shape, you don't have to accept your opponents framing. They say they'll crush you, but they're very bad at doing so when you stop helping them.

Also, and I cannot believe this is the second one in a week, you're the CEO. If you want to tank the reputation of the company you should have a comms person for that.

Gore-ac @mnorac.bsky.social · 4d

some of them have more than one

We call this "Grummzing it"

I guess that with the sloppy quality of the work being revealed, pivoting to selling it mainly to chuds makes a sort of grim sense.
