I'm here to look at beautiful wargaming model paintjobs, follow up on sci-fantasy fiction discourse, and engage with TTRPG enthustiasts. I will block with no remorse any nutjob, especially the right-wing or TERF kind, or any annoying person at all.
I missed only the 20, and I regret the 13 since blockbuster was a predatory corp.

I fail, I've done all of these.

Palantir CEO Says a Surveillance State Is Preferable to China Winning the AI Race
He also had strong opinions about people's "god-given" rights to eat a hotdog and flirt with someone who isn't their spouse.

Elon has never experienced this and neither have his biggest fans but now they can create these visuals with the help of a computermachine

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

Copper Dragonkin I just painted for a friend! This is his most recent #D&D character. I went for a subdued tone and an organic looking armor, since he's already "wearing" metal scales. Sculpt by Velrock Art. #MiniaturePainting #minipainting #nerdlings #ttrpg #wepaintminis

God, yes! I think Democrats were gun-shy about turning over the rock that is Elon's cotracts, because they were concerned he'd use his bro army and money against them in the 2024 elections. But that happened anyway!!!
I think democrats should push for a thorough review of all Elon Musk govt contracts as part of their 2026-8 portfolio. Why are taxpayers financing the work of a racist near-trillionaire? Leaving that unexamined was one of the biggest failures of the last Dem majority.

A May 2025 presentation by its (Meta's) safety staff estimated that the company’s platforms were involved in a third of all successful scams in the U.S. (Think about who these scams target - the sick, homebound elderly)
The documents further note that users who click on scam ads are likely to see more of them because of Meta’s ad-personalization system, which tries to deliver ads based on a user’s interests.

I'm pretty sure there is no part of Chicago you need desert gear for, but I bet it was on sale on Temu.
The photos in this Chicago Tribune piece… It's a quiet middle-class inner suburb, but these guys look like they're in Fallujah circa 2006.
The uniforms indicate Border Patrol and its BORTAC "special operations" unit.
