"Because back in my days we never had the genders." Actually back in the days:

Black-and-white archival photograph from 1921 showing several gender-nonconforming adults in early-20th-century clothing posing outside Berlin’s Institute for Sexual Science during an international sex-reform congress. Text above the photo reads, “A group of trans activists in 1921.”

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

Up until three days ago I had never noticed that the feathers in Lechuck's hat were a dead crow.

These are the 9 games that shaped who I am. (I would guess that in the running up would be Worms, the original GTA, The Lion King, Prehistorik, Theme Hospital, Age of Empires II, The Sims or The Fate of Atlantis)

There are things in this movie that shouldn't work. For example, after they have rescued the Princess and escaped the Death Star suddently John Williams disappears for 10 minutes, we get tons of technobabble exposition and all the main characters except Luke get replaced by a bunch of pilots.

One of the many things I hate about AI is that it makes me suspicious of everything. I see this and I start to wonder "Why does one hand has 4 claws and the other 5?" "Why does one leg has a clearly defined hock while the other one doesn't?" "Why is the pattern different in every butterfly?"

Which makes the other character we meet here all the more interesting: the Twi'lek warrior Tal'dira. Tal'dira and his crew (in custom Uglies, pictured) crash a big party being thrown for Rogues, slap around the merchants, and gives a swaggering speech about how warriors should negotiate w each other

I've remade the Pursuer Enforcement Ship as seen in Dark Empire as the Slave II and in X-Wing Alliance. Had a lot of fun adding detail to this one.

The Millennium Eagle for X-Wing Miniatures. This ship was first developed by the Sci Fi Air Show as a mix of the early Millennium Falcon concept art and the Eagle from Space 1999. It made its first canon appearance in Skeleton Crew.

Who would have guessed that when trying to find a new term so they could avoid the term "Concentration Camps" they would come up with something that's even more dehumanazing.

It was fun doing these ads for the Summer Discount with all the ships from each trilogy. So as a final reminder for this final week, here you have the three of them at the same time:

I was watching the latest @hyperdicetv.bsky.social episode and I thought I should do the YT-1000 like their ship, The Blood Spurt. I am really loving this show. It is very silly, and I love how each of the players has their own kind of silly applied to their characters.

Hutt Twins' Shuttle An unidentified ship from #TheMandalorianandGrogu. Appears to be a highly customized and heavily armored GX1 Short Hauler. Finishing my Hutt yacht really made me want to make this one, and while I didn't think I'd have time, I actually did it! #starwars #starwarsships #blender

Here you have the First Order TIE Brute. I've talked about this ship for years but I never got around doing it. You could see this version of the ship during the Smuggler's Run ride. Since I was at it, I also fixed some inaccuracies I had in the standard TIE Brute.

I have a scene from a movie or TV show that I can't place where it is from. It's been eating me for days. The scene is a woman saying something like "I think we should do MY plan" and the guy is about to say "no" and sees a scar or wound on her from the previous adventure (his fault) and says "ok".

I wonder if Strange New Worlds writters realize that to have an episode where the actors act out of character be surprising you can't do it twice every season. At this point it feels like they are having more fun than we are.

Mel Miniatures @melminiatures.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

A quick one, the TIE Raptor. Since I didn't want to just make a standard TIE cockpit, I took the drawing literally and made the ball bigger, the hatch smaller, the window only has 6 divisions and had a lot of fun with the rear of the ship. It is available as a set of two TIE Raptors.
