I was curious as to the outfit in question (The Siege) and then I found this line, so anywhere here I am posting.

Jadzia in a light maroon top with shoulder straps over a pale blue long sleeve tee with a very wide and squared off collar, which combined still shows her collarbones and the Trill spots on their way down and around. I think from the episode in question(?), while she is saying "We'll get them fired up."

Love this, the crafted from organic wings. The pink bows on armour straps. I am also curious if you went with the alternating red/dark-red/brown inspired by pieces like this? It's neat!

Schleich released some updated designs, I picked up a few because I like them feathered! Sadly a decade later it seems they have little feathering if at all. That’s really disappointing. They do still have the Utahraptor (blue face) at least, and a newer Dakotaraptor that is feathered up, but oof.

BREAKING: We are proud to endorse anti-racist, pro-working class candidate Graham Platner for Maine Senate in the June 9 Democratic primary

Photo of Graham Platner, white man with dark blonde hair and beard, smiling, wearing a grey buttoned henley. Background of image is teal green/blue with text "SURJ endorses" and "United States Senate". Red circle in front with text "Graham Platner".

Graham embodies the kind of change we believe is needed among millions of white people in this country: a shift away from militarism and racism and toward multiracial working-class solidarity that explicitly rejects racism.

We know electoral work is not just about casting a vote. It’s about electing candidates who are part of our movement. With Graham in the Senate, we would have someone raising issues we care about such as ICE’s brutality, saying no to war, and opposing the genocide in Gaza.

Oh, the "Anti-Racist" registered 501(c)(4) organization with a PAC, founded by white people, headed by white people, centering white people, that self-describes itself as, and I quote, "A Political Home for White People" decided a Strassery guy who had a Nazi tattoo, now a dog whistle, isn't racist?

An image from Showing Up for Racial Justice's 'Our Story' page.

Headline:
A Political Home for White People

Body:
It was in this context that white-antiracist organizers across the country began dreaming bigger about what was needed in white communities— among them Carla F Wallace, in Louisville, KY and Pam McMichael, then Executive Director of the Highlander Center in New Market, TN. Both McMichael and Wallace had been mentored by Anne Braden and other Civil Rights leaders from the South. They helped found the Fairness Campaign in Kentucky in the 1990’s, which worked at the intersections of race and sexuality to win civil rights legislative protections for LGBT+ people. The first coordinating team included leaders from AWARE LA, Highlander Center, and the Catalyst Project, which played a central role in SURJ’s formation.

On September 11, 2009, McMichael convened a call that included 21 white people engaged in racial justice work to discuss this question and plan action. Over time, a loose national network emerged, anchored by a working group with representatives from across the country that was intergenerational, cross class, rural/urban— and it is no accident that queer and gender-nonconforming activists were overwhelmingly part of the formation of SURJ. Some people came connected to organizations, some of which were multi-racial and some white, and some people came as individuals deeply concerned about white supremacy and the growing power of the Right in white communities.

Modern Props #195-290-1, my beloved. I need to actually build these a few times and just randomly stick them into sci-fi sets.

3D rendered Lego versions of a famous prop called the Modern Props #195-290-1, which is a pair of two short columns with gold circles on the outer side, between them is a bit of a cone and a tube that glows red.

Closer to the camera is one inspired by an early/mid aughts variant of it, which instead of red light tubes had tubes that glowed teal green (with the added option of having it trigger each smaller cold cathode tube in sequence making it look like the lights rotated).

Except in Lego they're just simple "Light Sword Blades" set to glow for the rendering.

Including the base, each set of "Thing" is 32 pieces.

That looks gorgeous! Proper EGA, proper pixel grid, no alpha blend, but then otherwise doing a fast paced 60(?)fps side scrolling action game? The I don't think I've ever seen that before! Also now on my wishlist! And the screenshot with the leaking tanker of "CGA Chemicals" got a good chuckle.

Screenshot of Haunted Lands, a retro side-scroller action game that limits itself to the CGA colour palette, but all 16 at the same time meaning it's EGA. There's a leaking tanker truck labeled "CGA Chemicals". The screenshot is pretty gore soaked, with the Veteran character blasting a shotgun with a huge muzzle flash and blood spattering from an enemy that is covered entirely by the effects.

June 5, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ORDER denying #3 Motion to Seal. Plaintiff seeks the Court's leave to seal an exhibit pertaining to his complaint. See D. Conn. L. R. 5(e)4.Pursuant to Local Rule 5(e), a party who seeks the sealing of a document should generally file alongside a motion to seal (1) a redacted version of the document on the public docket and (2) an unredacted version of the document under seal. Here, however, Plaintiff has filed under seal a redacted version of the exhibit that reveals no sensitive information.To the extent that Plaintiff asks the Court to seal this redacted version of the exhibit, the Court denies the request. The redacted exhibit contains offensive language, but it does not reveal sensitive or identifying information such that sealing would be appropriate. Further, because Plaintiff does not propose filing this redacted document (or a further redacted version) on the public docket, sealing would not be narrowly tailored, as required by Local Rule 5(e)3.On or before June 18, 2025, Plaintiff shall file this redacted exhibit on the public docket.Finally, if Plaintiff seeks a court order sealing an unredacted version of the exhibit, Plaintiff may refile the motion to seal in accordance with Local Rule 5(e)4. The Court agrees that clear and compelling reasons would likely support sealing an unredacted version of the exhibit, and that sealing would be narrowly tailored to serve those reasons.Signed by Judge Vernon D. Oliver on 6/5/2025. (Balkoski, S)

I understand the frustration of people coming to you demanding you to do work for them.

Believe me.

But like, putting aside your expertise for a moment, you could be some random account pretending to be someone, or a fraud, making a claim and telling them to do homework.

It puts folks on edge.

And like, it's fine if they're coming to you and you tell them to fuckin' look up your articles.

But it's different when you're the one reaching out, yeah?

It's the internet people lie, pass on false information, and do cons all the time.

And most folks don't have OSINT experience to confirm you.

No. They're just criticizing that the USA has created a lot of the destabilization responsible for what it then labels as an "immigration problem". The USA used to let people just immigrate. Until racists got worried about Chinese women in 1875 (then men), Irish, Italians, then Mexicans, and so on.

I don't agree with him bc I fundamentally disagree with creating a global economic and political situation where immigrants flee to your country and you criminalize them to exploit their labor more than you'd be able to exploit a citizen. immigrants are human beings too, believe it or not

Yeah! That's what Mikoan was like; pretty sure she lived on the second floor, while the first acted as the small restaurant. Sad I didn't get to share that place with many people. Hope she's doing well though.

Behind the bar stands the chef and proprietor, her face partially obscured by a bottle.

There's a patchwork of patterns and posters on the ceiling and walls.

Elsewhere, looking over a boundary preventing customers access, I saw a gray tabby with a red(?) collar visiting the first floor of the restaurant. Cardboard boxes of things can also be seen on the mostly open, aged but pretty, proper hard wood floor.

So it has come to this, I see. I guess it comes for us all eventually.

The "FPS map design" meme, showing a complex multi-looping Doom (1993) map layout vs a "2010" game's which is represented by a singular corridor with 4 right-angle turns, and 5 cutscene indicators.

Except the FPS is crossed out and it now says "METROID PRIME"

And the years are crossed out so instead of 1993 it says "MP1: Tallon Overworld (2002)" over the Doom map, and instead of 2010, it says "MP4: Flare Pool (2025" over the simple corridor.
