Three down! Essek is staying very still so as not to attract the attention of the beacons’ guardian. #smolessekventures

A small felted toy of Essek Thelyss from Critical Role stands behind an assortment of 3D printed beacons. The top three have been painted with swirls of blue and white on their faces; the rest are just flat gold. Essek is trying to look innocent as though he hadn’t been caught mid-heist.

In the foreground, a fluffy calico cat looks back over her shoulder toward the camera, supremely unbothered. In the background, an out of focus felted Essek Thelyss toy is frozen behind a stack of beacons.

Thank you!! Each one is taking about 30 mins haha so definitely a labour of love. 🌌 trying to keep Essek from stealing them as they’re finished is half the battle of course

One down, many to go 😅 (Needs to be sealed and I’ll dab some glow in the dark powder like stars on the individual faces, but I am Accepting the ragged edges of the paint 😌)

I always love seeing the trinkets folks exchange at Critical Role shows, and am going to participate in Dallas! Just have to—ESSEK, NO! #smolessekventures

A small 3D print of a Luxon beacon from critical role. It’s still white and unpainted, being held in a person’s hand.

A handful of small, 3D printed Luxon beacons. They have now been spray painted gold, and are cupped in a person’s palm.

Here's the recording of Bradford's remarks, and the recording of the original campaign meeting in which a volunteer with ties to the Victory App itself explained how the rewards would work.

We are also taking all three stories (the two investigations and today's corroboration piece) out from behind the paywall for the sake of transparency and accessibility. Barbara Streisand would be proud.

This morning — following two investigations into Toronto mayoral candidate Brad Bradford's use of an app that rewards supporters for posting AI-generated comments and sharing contacts — Bradford called our reporting "inaccurate." We're now releasing the recording that proves our reporting.

Bradford calls CNO reporting of AI app rewards ‘inaccurate.’ Here’s the recording proving our reporting.

Canada’s National Observer has decided to publish the segment of the Zoom call that corroborates its reporting.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:

Stretch them
