One of the recurrent themes in Greta's testimony is soldiers stripping and photographing her, sexual humiliation being an out in the open policy of the IDF for years, particularly since Oct 7th. Israel torturing and sexially assaulting a bunch of foreigners should be the biggest story in the world.

Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.

Is it #portfolioday ?

I’m a sculptor and engineer for toys. I sometimes design as well. I got laid off because of the tariffs :(

Here’s a few things I made. I’m looking for full time work if you have any leads!

i don't feel like magic set surveys usually have this question and i don't appreciate the implication that content creators, who do so so much for the game, are possibly to blame for a bad set's poor performance. 👎

My favorite Struzan story is that he was doing the poster for Indy at Disneyland, but they didn't have the rights to Ford's likeness. Fed up with working around the problem, Struzan just called Ford and was like, "hey, can I use your face for this," and Ford said, "if it's for you, absolutely."

Apropos of nothing, just been reminded of this and now it hurts to breathe. You're welcome.
#StarTrek #TNG #STTNG #Science

Six panels, in the first a shuttlecraft from Star Trek Next generation is *awfully close* to a star of some kind. Let's call it an F-type, it'll either get the Trekkers nodding in approval or absolutely enraged. But then what doesn't.

Second panel, Beverley Crusher is at the controls of the shuttle, saying "Computer, notify me if external temperature gets too hot"

Third panel, computer text goes " *BEEP BEEP* PLEASE DEFINE "HOT" "

Fourth panel, Beverley Crusher responds "Let's say, 1.9 million Kelvins."

Fifth panel, titled Later: Picard is stood at his replicator, saying "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot."
The computer responds, as it always does, "*BEEP BEEP*"

Sixth panel, SCREENSHOT FROM TERMINATOR TWO OF PEOPLE BLOWN AWAY BY NUCLEAR BLAST. IT'S JUST A SKELETON AND FLAMES, UNBELIEVABLE HEAT, BURNING, INCANDESCENCE, EVERYTHING IS YELLOW AND ORANGE AND BURNING AND PICARD'S FAVOURITE MUG IS NOW PLASMA. BUT THAT'S PROBABLY NOT ON HIS MIND RIGHT NOW, AS HIS BRAIN IS NOW AEROSOL FORM, AT BEST.
It's all a bit toasty, basically.

I was thinking the same thing with regard to Oni Megatron, but for whatever reason I'm imagining Bumblebee as one of those golden fish statues. Maybe it could even connect to the roof of Optimus' cart kinda like this
