Looks like some of the BT comic pages I've been working on got shown in today's Tuesday News stream. A bit out of order, the middle one is the opening page. Yes, that's a reference to Crescent Hawks Inception. ( But, with clan stuff. ) bsky.app/profile/cata... #battletech

Consumer Reports tested 13 e-scooters to rate and review. But because of the frequency of injuries being reported - including injuries sustained by the CR testers themselves in this process - CR is not recommending ANY. www.consumerreports.org/cars/electri...

CR doesn't recommend e-scooters because of their high speeds and rising injury rates. Two of CR's testers sustained injuries while evaluating e-scooters, too.

I am "proud" to announce our first BattleMech made by committee of 67 participants! The 50-ton Pshara PSH-4RA. It's shit, and none of you who voted on this are getting what you wanted. PERFECT! In the thread below, I'll detail how these decisions were made. #BattleTech @battletechcom.bsky.social

A classic BattleTech 'Mech sheet for this dumpster fire.

An Alpha Strike card for the same 'Mech!

Musk is a pathetic liar. He tried telling The Economist’s Editor-in-Chief that a British civil war is "inevitable," only for her to calmly point out that he hasn't stepped foot in the UK in years, she actually lives there, and real crime stats prove he made the whole thing up. Pure gold.

My hot take is that in order to drive one of these monstrosities, you need to obtain a specialty license and be a registered tradesperson. Otherwise, they need to be banned entirely from our roads due to the dangers they pose.

An infographic that illustrates the historical evolution and changing proportions of pickup truck designs over five distinct eras spanning from 1961 to 2021. The chart details how the physical footprint allocated to the passenger cabin (Cab) has steadily increased while the space allocated to the cargo area (Bed) has shrunk over time.

Five top-down vehicle outlines are arranged horizontally, each color-coded with an orange front section for the cab and a blue rear section for the truck bed. Side brackets on the right clearly demarcate the "Cab" (orange) and "Bed" (blue) portions of the vehicles.

The changing percentage breakdown for each era is shown as follows:

1961–1979: The smallest cab size at 36%, contrasted against the largest truck bed capacity at 64%.

1980–1997: The cab size increases to 40%, while the truck bed decreases to 60%.

1997–2003: An even split in design, where both the cab and the truck bed occupy exactly 50% of the vehicle space.

2004–2015: The trend reverses completely with the cab expanding to 60%, leaving the truck bed at 40%.

2015–2021: The final era demonstrates the most dramatic shift, featuring the largest cab configuration at 63% and the smallest truck bed space at just 37%.

An infographic titled "The higher the bonnet, the bigger the blind spot: More high-fronted SUVs would mean more children drivers don't see."

It compares the forward visibility and blind zones of three vehicles relative to the heights of children. The diagram showcases the driver's line of sight over the hood for three distinct vehicle classes:

RAM TRX (Large Pickup Truck): A dotted red line extends from the driver's eye level over a very high hood line. Two child silhouettes are completely hidden within the front blind zone: a 9-year-old child (1.36m) and a 4.5-year-old child (1.1m).

Land Rover Defender (SUV): A dotted red line extends over a moderately high hood line. A single child silhouette representing a 4.5-year-old child (1.1m) is entirely obscured in the front blind zone.

VW Golf (Hatchback/Compact Car): A dotted green line extends over a low, sloping hood line. A 4.5-year-old child silhouette (1.1m) stands directly in front of the vehicle and is clearly visible above the green sightline, showing no blind spot for a child of this height.

Fine print at the bottom reads: "Analysis based on children of average European height standing to the centre of vehicle fronts. Drivers are of average European adult height. Vehicle assessment and modelling by Summerskill / Loughborough University SDCA (2025)."

It is done!! Inspired by the 2003 codex cover art "Eye of Terror" by Karl Kopinski Made for a local painting challenge with Abaddon assigned per dice roll and the theme "treasure". (crushing Cadia is a "treasured moment" for him 😇) #minipainting #warhammer40k #abaddon #eyeofterror #osl #cadia

Full frontal photograph of the finished "Eye of Terror" piece based on the iconic artwork by Karl Kopinsky.

It features Abaddon the Despoiler, standing in flames surrounded by his black legion - visualized through converted epic scale marines - holding and crushing the planet Cadia in front of a backdrop that shows the Eye of Terror spiral galaxy in pink, magenta, purple and blue coloration.

Close-up photograph of the sword Drach'nyen, which is part of the "Eye of Terror" miniature piece based on the iconic artwork by Karl Kopinsky.

It also shows the arm and shoulder of Abaddon the Despoiler, who is standing in flames in front of a backdrop that shows the Eye of Terror spiral galaxy in pink, magenta, purple and blue coloration.

Two side-by side side views of this piece based on the iconic artwork "Eye of Terror" by Karl Kopinsky.

Vertically split comparison of the iconic artwork "Eye of Terror" by Karl Kopinsky (right) and my version (left) for which I used a backdrop plinth, the modern miniature of Abaddon the Despoiler, with sculpted planet in powerclaw as well as a number of Imperialis "epic scale" marines.
