Pretty sure it was either the old Metal Eldar Warriors/Guardians or a War Walker which never managed to stay glued together

If you've read my open access article on Twilight 2000, it would be super helpful if you could follow this link and offer some feedback. This feeds into what is known as an Impact Case Study, where I measure/analyse public engagement w/ my research. Thanks in advance!

Given what we’ve seen on America’s streets, it’s worth repeating what the court says here:

Needlessly pointing a firearm at someone can violate the Fourth Amendment, even if the officer never pulls the trigger.

The response to this article today from professional colleagues and the gaming community has really been heartwarming and humbling. I really do appreciate people engaging with this research, and taking the time to let me know (esp. if - like me - they played Twilight 2000 'back in the day').

The union is asking that you not patronize any Starbucks, even ones that aren't unionized, for the duration! Time to find your new favoriteocal coffee shop. To donate to their strike fund: sbworkersunited.org

Saw this at BeyondFest and it was fantastic, and so darkly funny and on point for where we are today. Can’t wait to see it again

Rude Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose. Highlighted Off, darkened Warn, and darkened Hide buttons.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

so many good pictures out there

how about no

In February, 7-year-old Dolma Naadhun was crossing the intersection of Newtown Road and 45th Street in Astoria with her mother and sister when the driver of a 2021 Ford Explorer blew through a stop sign, striking and killing Dolma. One month later, New York City Department of Transportation commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez visited the crash site with other officials, met with community members demanding a traffic signal be installed, and promised to make changes to the street - including "daylighting" the intersection using curb extensions and plastic bollards. State assemblymember Zohran Mamdani also visited the scene that day and realized that something else needed to change. "When you take a step back and think about traffic violence in New York City," he said, "you start to understand that this is a systemic issue that is incentivized by the policies that we have in place with regard to the design of our streets and what kind of vehicles we allow to be on our roads." Whether a driver runs a stop sign or a red light, statistically, certain cars - namely, bigger SUVs and trucks - are more likely to kill a 7-year-old. This is why Mamdani is co- introducing legislation for a weight-based vehicle-registration fee intended to discourage people from purchasing heavier vehicles. "The car industry is pushing the sale of heavier and larger vehicles," he says. "The state has to make it clear that these types of vehicles come with a certain kind of cost."

soar above adult shoulders. But there may be another way to disincentivize the purchases of such vehicles, says Edwards. "One other potential idea would be for someone, maybe a city's DOT, to start keeping a list of the different makes and models of vehicles that are killing pedestrians and cyclists, or kids specifically, and post that publicly," he says. "That could bring awareness to which cars are more dangerous and also potentially affect insurance rates, which would possibly convince people not to buy certain cars." There's a bit of accountability in New York's bill, which would require the State DOT to track all fatal crashes by vehicle weight. But the other encouraging aspect of the proposal is that the collected fees stay local, by county, and, after the annual dedications to highway, bridge, and transit trust funds are met, a full 75 percent of the funds raised will go toward safety improvements like bike lanes, bollards, road diets, pedestrianization of streets, and raised crosswalks. This means the neighborhoods most impacted by large vehicles are likely to see the biggest changes. And that might be the most important part of the legislation, says Mamdani. "This is an initiative to make our streets safer for our children," he says. "And we are making sure a significant portion of this funding goes toward creating the very streetscapes that we know will save their lives."

Two years ago I interviewed a 31-year-old NY state assemblymember about a 7-year-old girl killed by an SUV driver in his district. I hung up the phone, astonished that I'd talked to a legislator who so thoughtfully articulated what actually needs to change on our streets.

My deepest condolences to the Democratic Party strategists whose 2028 plans are in disarray now that they lost 50% of that crucial Cheney endorsement they were counting on

You love to see it

I mean who among us

This 100% percent, had exactly the same experience with Delta Green. The players were as surprised to dig it as much too, and it still comes up high on the list of “games we should play again”

You should watch this with the sound on to hear how matter-of-fact dystopian the Illinois State Police "warning" is.

Again, not ICE. Pritzker's state police. Who we're told are not assisting ICE.

Good morning Bluesky !

Haunt movie poster of the weird creepy flat clown mask with bright blonde hair. Rage line “what are you carving this Halloween”

Day 31 of 31 Days of Horror, “Halloween Night” Haunt, took a little bit to get going but once it did it was a whole bunch of fun. Personally I love a “final girl goes on a rampage” movie. Also, end credits was a indie rock cover of Rob Zombie’s Dragula by Lissie that was surprisingly great.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space poster, an exploding globe with a giant clown hand touching it and sparks coming out of his finger. Tagline “alien bozos with an appetite for close encounters”

Day 30 of 31 Days of Horror “Kid Friendly” Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Look, my dad showed me this movie when I was like 10 so it counts. It’s prob not appropriate for kids, but I loved it then and love it still.

House on Haunted Hill poster, the spooky haunted house in the back, Vincent Price in front with a candle and a giant skeleton holding the rope to a hanged woman.

Day 29 of 31 Days of Horror “William Castle” House on Haunted Hill, love this movie so much. The way Vincent Price mugs for the camera so playfully and Elisha Cook Jr’s perfect fearful warnings to the audience really make the movie for me. Plus who doesn’t love a skeleton?

btw, i know halloween is a couple days away, and i just want to say:

if you see someone wearing an ICE costume, treat them like you would treat someone dressed as a nazi.

Umma movie of Sandra Oh half undead shadowy ghost. Tagline “a mothers love never dies”

Day 28 of 31 Days of Horror, “Haunted House I haven’t seen” Umma. Pretty hard to find one on streaming that both looked good and i hadn’t seen as it’s my favorite genre of horror. Settled on this one which had a few decent scares and solid story but the ghost was a little too supernatural for me

1BR movie poster of the lead girl with a single tear coming down her face and an apartment bldg in the background with shadowy figures. Tagline “Welcome to the Neighborhood”

Day 27 31 Days of Horror “Creepy Neighbors” 1BR. Solid cult movie, a little slow in the middle but the end was a nice payoff.

the cow's tools will never be used to dismantle the cow's barn

Worth recalling the natural law tradition that taking food if you're starving is not simply *allowed*, it is not even correct to call it stealing. In a just society nobody would starve, therefore any law which would allow starvation is by definition unjust and thus is no longer a law.

Black Phone 2 poster, giant red 2 with the Grabber mask coming out of it. Tagline “Death is just a word”

And then second half of the double feature was Black Phone 2. So much fun, maybe even better than the first. Who doesn’t love Ethan Hawke chewing just the right amount of scenery?

Movie poster for Shelby Oaks, over exposed video footage of Riley with the tagline “it wants her”

Day 26 31 Days of Horror, off script double feature starting with Shelby Oaks. Absolutely fantastic, the mood of dread and darkness was delightfully executed. Also really loved that the first act exposition was all found footage style before moving the movie. Top 5 horror movie of the year so far
