Eyes up, Guardian. Almost complete Crimson kitbash and completed 4mm ghost shell. Now to finish the gun and two obnoxious shoulder pads and hope I can paint fast enough for the first deadline. #nerdlings
A space wolf marine arm, a hand holding what used to be a plasma pistol and now looks kinda like the Crimson hand cannon from Destiny 2. It lies next to a tiny bit of carved styrene in the shape of the stereotypical ghost shell from the same game.

This is the most bullshit, unhinged, first world, classist, contemptuously petty, horseshit I have encountered recently.

They are not extreme. #candy
A picture of a sour patch kids that says they are "extreme #@$%! sour". This is, in fact, incorrect.

One of the indigenous names for the Grand Canyon translates to "mountain lying down". You bet I stole that with delight.

Destiny's weird ass armor proportions and geometry work for me as a lousy sculptor. But only if I can stop futzing until I can sand it. #nerdlings

Goat Rock Beach. I could not get a good seal picture but they were great to watch for a while.
Goat Rock Beach in California. Sand, light surf, blue sky. A driftwood stack is piled in a teepee shape and there are some bird blocks making patterns in the sky. The last of the morning fog is just burning away on the horizon.

Apparently this concept is difficult so i drew a picture
A very basic drawing of a bar with good on the left, silence in the middle, and evil on the right.
There is an arrow pointing to the division between good and silence that says ‘Where the line of
opposition actually is’

There is another arrow pointing to the division between silence and evil that says ‘Where people think the line of opposition is’

One slightly sketchy photo of a complete #SpaceWolves army to tabletop standard. If I ever do my own space marine army every last one of 'em is getting MKVI shoulder pads, fuck that tiny lip. #WarhammerCommunity #Nerdlings #MiniPainting
The painted Space Wolves army box set plus a trio of Thunderwolf Cavalry and Bjorn-The-Magnetized-so-can-be-not-Bjorn too.  Paint job done in the older more blue-y grey tones and vivid yellows and reds.  Based to have dirt, snow, and ice

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

 

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). 

 

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

 

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.         

 

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

🚨 The archived version of the suppressed Amnesty report into the anti-trans network operating to dismantle human rights in the UK has been "excluded" from the Wayback Machine. JKR is working very hard to scrub its existence from the eyes of the public. Thankfully, I kept screenshots.

holy shit this is fucking vile
[Update: 13 August 2026: This Week in Videogames requested a follow-up comment from Saber Interactive, and received the following statement from Karch:

“Stella who? I had to ask Claude because I have never spoken to her or seen her. We have already said we are using AI for certain parts of the game and will update the Steam page once we have finalized the feature set.

“Let me clarify that the entire story script, were it to win an award, would go to someone who can walk up on stage and receive it. It was always our intention to reveal this until Stella violated her confidentiality clause and revealed this before we were ready.

“We look at our use of AI in this particular game, which will be a lower priced title, as a plus for consumers,” he said.

“As far as Stella is concerned, she was replaced by someone more talented and terminated for a variety of reasons a few months later. From what I can gather she enjoys controversy even more than I do. I would frankly in retrospect have been happy to replace her with AI. At least we would be dealing with someone programmed to be honest.”]
