Spent yesterday at the Auckland museum and while this is first and foremost a really beautiful representation of the three manu that guard Pukekawa, my jrpg-poisoned brain wants to know what reconfiguration will unlock the secret boss under the building.

Absolutely iconic. As lodged in my brain as early Dredd art and helped set the tone for like... Everything.
Classic pieces of 40k Rogue Trader era art by the great Peter Knifton who has sadly passed away today. Anyone who collected an Imperial Guard army back then would recognise his amazing art. RIP sir.

What a goddamn legend. Every big tough conservative masculinity guy has been crying about how terrifying cities are to live in for the past two years and now Trump wants to move back to NYC
Reporter to Trump: Would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani mayoralty?
Trump: "I would. I really would. Especially after the meeting, absolutely."

For the first time, a US politician used the platform of the oval office to call out Israeli genocide and US complicity in that genocide, and centrists are confused about why folks have more grace for him than they do for someone who enthusiastically and materially supported that genocide.

Governments and administrations plan in years; states plan in decades. And the obvious planned model for the UK, Europe, USA and others is 'Israel Everywhere': fortress states secured by militarised borders where 'intruders at the gates' can be murderously laid waste because not-people, not-life.
On both sides of the Altantic, within and without bodies like the UN, EU and NATO, developed countries are eager to return to Hobbes's State of Nature as pretext for their response to climate crisis, and Israel is useful for establishing the worst of what states can get away with in that paradigm.
This is only a failure if you assume the purpose was to prevent genocide and uphold the international legal framework. If instead the purpose all along was to give America whatever it demands with a minimum of domestic political damage, then I’d say it’s been at least a partial success.

Using weaponised poetry to defeat the planet-scorching lie machines feels a bit on the nose, but I understand the writing room for this era of reality are running on fumes by now.
Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

I'm very here for an odd coupling of a bitter Iron Warrior and burned out Word Bearer who's now questioning his faith and his place in the galaxy, especially playing off an Ultramarine/Imperial Fist combo against a backdrop of the mainstreaming of the imperial cult and other non-legion powers.

Puberty is low-key a nightmare for everyone, but imagine it also feeling like you’re morphing into a body that in every way is different than the one that matches your self-conception of identity. Just horrifying, and the kind of thing that leads to self-harm and psychological damage.
Treatment for trans kids cannot wait for adulthood. Adolescent changes in the body are permanent and irreversible. The pain of dysmorphia kills. No medical professional treats kids casually, no family seeks treatment casually. Treatment is safe, effective and is a conservative course of action.

The hardest working guild in Karazad- the embalmers. The potent tannins found in the vast peat bogs north of the city are the primary drivers of preservation, but salt and oil also come into play once the cadavers emerge from their long immersions
