Vindicator 7L. It's a mixed tech beast of a trooper. Nothing too fancy other than reinforced structure. Good for dipping your toes in.

The far right's obsession with testosterone is deeply weird and makes them look incredibly insecure.

This is the first of my personal #battletech merc unit: Blair's Blackbirds! I'll be running them through a campaign set on Galtor in 3025, using ACES and the new Core Rules for Classic. We'll see how it works lol. I'll be writing battle reports and giving my thoughts on the new rules on my patreon

So Castle Rat put on an awesome show. Stage presence, theatrics, and plenty of camp. You gotta see them live if you get the chance.

I'm glad you asked! As a Natural Intelligence I am able to develop preferences and tastes. There are many Mechs to choose from across many examples of giant mecha media, but my favorite is the Macross Officer Pod from Battletech.

Played an objectives battle with @coffeelock.bsky.social . It was a McCarron’s Armored Cavalry vs Snow Ravens. The Ravens were trying to defend objectives at an Airbase. #battletech #battletechclassic

A few MAC mechs made a push through a southern approach to the airbase.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

It's helpful to ask yourself honestly "What do I want?" but I think it's sometimes even better to ask "What am I pretending I don't want?"

I love the Vindicator and I have a soft spot for Laurel's Legion. So I was very excited to see a LL Vindy make an appearance in the Tigress contract in Hotspots: Draconis Reach! #battletech

This event right here is the rubicon imo. People can claim ignorance of a lot of the shit he's said if they're living under a rock. But this was just vile, explicit racism on display for everyone to see. You couldn't have missed it if you tried.

Any of these SNW episodes plopped into a regular season would have been fine IMO. But this season has been complete slapstick puntuated by a couple deeply traumatic episodes. I don't know that I have more in me. Haven't seen yesterday's yet and tbh I'm not in a hurry to.

Nice to have a citation for the stuff we all sort of assume to be true but question if it's just our own biases making it look that way

Screenshot from the article in the quoted post, saying "Piff and his colleagues found that upper-class drivers were more likely to cut other cars off at junctions and ignore pedestrians at crossings. Wealthier people also appeared more willing to lie at work. In one experiment, volunteers were left alone with a jar of sweets ostensibly meant for children. When the researchers returned, upper-class people had snaffled nearly twice as many candies as lower-class people.

“The general pattern seems to be that with wealth and rising power, you become less engaged with the needs of others and less burdened by the needs of social relationships,” Piff said. “Taking candy from children might be the least of our worries but it’s emblematic of the tendency to prioritise one’s own needs over those of others.”
