This surprises exactly no one

Oh my god, Eric Adams is going to accidentally free Luigi. Amazing.

Today on Kate Paints (to cope with the world)... A while ago I painted the *canon* trans femme clone trooper, Sister. She needs squadmates. So adding to the 1312th Clone Sisters. I've got that no white "white" armor down to a science. #minipainting #miniatures #nerdlings #StarWars

I always have a morbid amusement when algorithms fail horribly. This brought to you by advertisements for lawn equipment supplies from Texas.

Lifted from r/minipainting

There are blue states still doing the right thing. Connecticut pulled through for me (tho sloooooowly)

All this bullshit immediately crumbles when it's presented to anyone who's not a sympathetic cohost on your podcast

Solid 80% chance the haters are my coworkers from the shipyard.

If Luigi walks because of David Zaslav and Eric Adams I will laugh so hard I will probably have a stroke and die.

Bonus points because in Rhode Island when we say rich we mean RICH. Tax dodging registered overseas Newport yachts and Taylor Swift's extra home.

Over 2000 people chant “Tax the Rich!” outside the RI State House.

Took my kids to my old high school comic/nerd shop. So much nostalgia for when I'd drop whole paychecks on Magic cards. Spider Man and Ironman for the 8yo. Deadpool and Moon Knight for the 12yo.

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now. So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof! 1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing. 2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

Let me take this format for a spin

Hell yes. Be queer do crimes.

The new Kingdom of Loathing challenge path is the most fun one I've ever done.

NEW: DOJ lawyers were so embarrassed by judge Reyes they went full Karen and are asking to speak to the manager. They filed a letter with the chief judge of the DC circuit complaining about Judge Reyes.

Google "Millwall Brick" for some helpful information that will go along with this.

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

The way she spoke to him was like an adult to a misbehaving child and I think that works?

Hunter Schafer announced in an 8+ min video that her new passport misgenders her, presumably because of Trump's announcement that the US govt only recognize gender as assigned at birth. she (rightly) connects it to fascist history, like Nazis burning the Institute of Sexology in 1933 @teenvogue.com

Down 29.6% over the past 60 days

Mwahahaha! State of Connecticut came through after all. Updated birth certificate in hand. All the important docs say F now. Fuck off haters. Not erasing this!

Nazi punks fuck off for sure but I'd love for nazis who like other types of music and ones who don't like music at all to also fuck off

Not gonna lie... this kind of crap is part of the reason I bought a Walkman and wired up my phone to a 90s stereo to start making mix tapes again.

for a guy who looks like he’s planning to terrorize Paris with a battle zeppelin, that’s exactly what I’d want him to shout from it

Still... my work is being so stupid, it's more stressful than being trans in America. So... thanks? I guess... for taking my mind off it? I'm at the "printing hard copies of emails to cover my ass" stage here.

2+ years of painting. First mini on left. Recent one on right. #minipainting #miniatures #nerdlings

Today on Kate Paints (to cope with the world)... Quick lizard wizard for my kids' #DnD crew. They run a necromantic mafia and many goons are lizards for plot reasons. Sculpt is pretty basic so nothing fancy. Got the job done tho. #minipainting #miniatures #nerdlings

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! I stopped by Paper Based Bookshop to sign copies of THE NIGHTWARD & LEX TALIONIS for the first time! The staff & bookstore were wonderful. If you're in Trinidad (esp. for Carnival), get the only signed copies in the world & check out the cozy & fun Sleepy Cat Cafe next door!

Dems: "we're utterly useless. Please give us money." And they truly wonder why people were disillusioned with them.

Hehe

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

Former NFL player Chris Kluwe arrested during Huntington Beach City Council meeting www.latimes.com/socal/daily-...

It's really fucked up that "Being trans in a proto dictatorship" isn't my biggest stress this week.

pls stand still
