I'm finally getting around to actually posting some of my mechs. I still have to work on the bases, but I'm happy with how these turned out.

Not certain its him, but it really makes you wonder if they're gunning for the guy.

More or less. They probably would have adopted some Norse rune instead, but at least the Navajo would get to keep the Whirling Log.

I heard the advice "Don't skimp out on whatever separates you from the ground. That covers shoes, mattresses, chairs, etc.

The whole party has been consumed by the mods of a 2014 incel forum where people talk about shooting up a supermarket because they saw a woman in yoga pants.

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human
Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.

Evangelical converts to Catholicism are appropriating Italian culture. Being Catholic and going to war with the Pope was something they've been doing for *centuries* and then some waspy MFer stumbles in like he invented being a Ghibelline.

Once again noting how annoying it is that adult converts to Catholicism are trying to destroy the church whenever it does something that's not extremely conservative. Just walk out! You can leave!

He had a recipe in the Discworld Cookbook for bread and water that was an exercise in over-engineering security measures to avoid being poisoned, followed by his philosophy to make yourself indispensable to the elites, so they don't want you dead, then eat whatever you like. Brilliant.

this is serious; ICE agents in foreign environments (eg Chicago) dry up in their carapace within 18 hours without a regular supply of energy drink and punisher logos; by noon they won't even be able to flex in the mirror to make themselves feel like big boys; the decline after that is precipitous

Trump did promise to run the government like one of his businesses, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that it shut down again

the democrats do not listen to this particular random dude on the internet, but: do not listen to the stupid headlines, hold the line, let Trump and company brag about how much damage they’re doing

fuck these people, give them nothing, show the public that none of this is acceptable or normal

Between this and the Creakiest Tank in the Army at Trump's birthday parade, I'm starting to see a pattern.

Abjurer @abjurer.bsky.social · 8d

That has to be parody, right? Nobody would actually proudly proclaim they're weightlifting for Jesus while implying they're still cranking it.

... right?

This reads like some 40K bullshit, but Altman's trying to talk about how cool that is. This can't end well.

Btw the new OpenAI data centers will consume more power than the entire city of New York, brags Sam Altman

OpenAI's New Data Centers Will Draw More Power Than the Entirety of New York City, Sam Altman Says

OpenAI's planned AI data center projects would consume as much as the entire city of New York City and San Diego combined.

She's got both of the characters' nuances down cold. I want to see her version of Odo almost as a test run for a Mr House impression.

My daughter just laughs at how dumb they look. The opportunity for that to roast someone hasn't come up yet, though.

If you told 13 year old me that they were going to make an MTG card of Cecil from Final Fantasy IV, I would have exploded from pure fanboy glee. If you told 27 year old me they were going to make an MTG card out of the American Office, I would have told you to lay off the weed.

Ohhh, is that what he's doing. Furniture just seemed so goddamn random...

Abjurer @abjurer.bsky.social · 13d

At least this time he's putting himself on the block for this one. If nothing else, that takes some brass.
