We have a Secret Santa at the maker space I belong to and my person quite likes the Red Rising book/graphic novel series, so I made Son of Ares mask for them as part of the their present.

The best part about giving @garethlpowell.bsky.social books for Christmas is that whoever is getting the book is guaranteed to love every page. Gonna start a friend off well with EMBERS OF WAR this year.

Q: Can you explain what's going on with the bandages on Trump's hand?

Alex and I don't know shit about the lore but the "Five Nights at Freddy's 2" movie was a lot of fun with a packed theater of kids and teenagers reacting to the Easter eggs and reveals. Seems to be getting killed by critics but I don't know why they're expecting Oscar quality from kids horror.

This man's brain is turning into liquid shit at an exponential rate, this isn't hyperbole or a joke. He is actively regressing in maturity, social cues and intelligence in front of our very eyes. Some time in the future, papers will be written & dissected over the dementia happening in front of us.

Kid walks in and hands me a piece of his handlebars, which is not great because they were in one piece when he started practicing his bar spins a little bit ago. Gotta call Mongoose Friday for a warranty redemption.
