Tbh, my guess is that it's schlagmetal (imitation gold leaf) or paint with mica. Genuine gold leaf looks much smoother and conforms to edges/bevels more 🤔

I've been enjoying Cocteau Twins' music for about 20 years and only just realised they're not speaking Scots Gaelic 😅 almost every song is glossolalia ("speaking tongues") and somehow I didn't figure it out, LOL.

Tropical Cyclone #Alfred will bring damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and hazardous surf conditions to southeast Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺🌀 Flash flooding, storm surge, and power outages are likely as the cyclone nears the coast. Landfall is expected near Brisbane late Thursday or early Friday.

Technically speaking, it was a law to ban loitering for the purpose of soliciting sex work, but in reality, it was used as a way to discriminate against trans women for simply existing in public. www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-...

on this week's aftermath hours, the industry's obsession with fewer, bigger games and franchises – as exemplified by WB's post-wonder woman pivot – is a dead end aftermath.site/aftermath-ho...
Nathan: There’s that meme of “I want smaller games with worse graphics blah blah blah.” It’s not even that. I want mid-sized games that are scaled to a relatively sane degree – that are not trying to be everything for everyone because a) nothing can be everything for everyone, and b) the games that are functionally that already exist. You’re never going to supplant League of Legends and Counter-Strike and Valorant and Fortnite. 

But these big companies believe that if you just pump enough money into something, you can overcome all of life’s problems. And time and time again, they fail, and the money’s no longer imaginary; there are real, tangible repercussions in terms of how it affects the people who worked on those projects. They don’t have jobs anymore. The only people who were unaffected, as ever, were the fucking executives, and they get to keep making these stupid mistakes.

Had a great time at @knotfestofficial.bsky.social Melbourne yesterday. I met cool people, saw amazing bands & nobody gave two shits seeing a trans guy in just a binder. Shout out to Alex (Slaughter to Prevail) and Corey (Slipknot) for both pausing their sets to help people get out of the mosh pit.
A photo of the poster. He is white with brown hair and blue eyes, wearing corrective glasses and a surgical mask. He is wearing a skin-colour chest binder and has a black t-shirt draped over one shoulder. He is quite sweaty and flushed. He's in a packed crowd, and some people have their hands up doing the "horns" gesture.The set list for Knotfest Melbourne 2025. From earliest in the day to latest (latest is the headliner). The list is: Sunami, Vended, Miss May I, Health, In Hearts Wake, Hatebreed, Enter Shikari, Within Temptation, Slaughter to Prevail, Polaris, Babymetal, A Day To Remember, Slipknot.

The National Weather Service is THE ONLY source of weather data in the US. Every weather app, local broadcaster, and weather forecast map is based on NWS data from NOAA. This is a ridiculously stupid own goal for the US that will disrupt all kinds of social and economic activity, and endanger lives.

I agree. It would be similar to how anti-soliciting laws were abused and turned into the "walking while trans" discrimination law (which was only repealed in 2021) 😓

Finally. A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States. I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it. It is NOT just for athletes. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

State Department visa policy could bar trans people from traveling to U.S.
Violations could result in travel bans beyond just athletes

This is an astonishing story. Trump's personal lawyers, now in government, are trying to find any prosecutor take on a case to stop payment of $20 billion in funds by claiming there is fraud. The fact that career prosecutors are resigning rather than do so tells you how weak the case is.
Interim U.S. attorney Ed Martin then personally submitted a seizure warrant application without any other prosecutors in his office that was rejected by a U.S. magistrate judge in D.C., who found that the request and accompanying FBI agent affidavit failed to establish a reasonable belief that a crime occurred, three of the people said.

Meanwhile, acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove’s office approached at least one other U.S. attorney’s office in the southeastern United States to launch a grand jury investigation and seek a court-ordered bank freeze, but prosecutors in the office again refused the warrant request, two of the people said. It is not clear if more evidence has since been obtained or if a warrant was granted elsewhere. But at least three groups that had been awarded money said their accounts have been frozen, and the bank won’t tell them why.

Alt: A scene from "The Emperors New Groove" in which Kronk is carrying a sack, which has an unconscious Emperor Kuzko is inside, and sneaking through the city. He thinks he's been spotted so quickly presses his back to a wall and stays as still as he can, but he's standing under a streetlight and is very visible. He's clueless about that, which is the joke.
