realjuddlegum © 25m UPDATE: Sinclair is NOT going to broadcast Jimmy Kimmel, even though ABC is resuming production. Sinclair has demanded that Kimmel personally donate to Turning Point USA, a right-wing political organization. David Smith, executive chairman of Sinclair, donated 250K to Turning Point USA last year. 1/3 NONE 501(C)(3) UNRESTRICTED • 459. @ 66 &118 V 29

Glad Disney reinstated Kimmel.

It’s now up to everyone to prove to Sinclair they’ve made a horrible mistake. This means calling their advertisers, boycotting their channels, and protesting outside their stations.

It can’t stop here. We did it with the Tesla Takedown. Time for Sinclair Takedown.

I’m going to say this louder this time: if you are lying about having a high-risk condition to get a Covid vaccine, all good, do what you want to do BUT show some actual goddamn respect for people who *actually* have that condition and start masking.

DON'T stop calling but DO stop listing what the payment is for, if that was a thing you're doing

*wearily* don't ask don't tell is back, and it's for everything now

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator

Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning

Disabled people: RFK Jr. is a dangerous eugenicist who wants people to die.

Nondisabled people:

DP: Here are examples of his eugenicist policy.

NP:...

DP: He actually wrote all this out in a book years ago.

NP: Hey why can't I get a Covid shot??

Cis people:

This is where you fucking step up. Do everything you can to support trans people in the coming days. You're going to hear horrible, hurtful rhetoric about us. Shut it down. Don't let it stand.

And buy the trans people in your life a drink.

Man, I’ll block people for being rude to me one single time. I don’t know you, and 100% of my experience with you is unpleasant? Seems easy to me.

This is a good point for everyone, uhhh, not Black, Brown, and/or from the US.

When people in the suburbs especially talk about crime, they are not talking about the wild ass shit going down in the Walmart parking lot at night. They're talking about me fumbling with my keys at my own front door.

Still mad at everyone who refused to mask up and continues to refuse to

Trying to remember this while doing a bunch of cavalry

Valve via PCG: “Mastercard did not communicate with Valve directly, despite our request to do so. Mastercard communicated with payment processors and their acquiring banks. Payment processors communicated this with Valve, and we replied by outlining Steam’s policy since 2018 ….

You have until the end of August to opt out of the licensing agreement. Otherwise, that published work will be fed to the AI slop gods.

An image of a Conquest Efreeti Flamecaster. His upper body is red and he wears a purple tunic with bronze trim and a teal belt. His lower body is made of fire and flames cover his arms. He wears a purple turban held on with a ruby inset in brass with several teal feathers adorning it. He also wears many brass bracelets on his arms. The base, only partially visible, is of a rocky landscape covered in snow, but the snow is melted close to his flames.

A second Efreet. This one has a blast of fire spanning the distance between his hands, and a gout of flame shoots from the top of his turban, ending in a flaming snake head. He wears a much longer purple piece of clothing, with many more brass accessories and a teal section on the front. His chest is left open but he wears a purple ruff around his neck with a brass trim. Steel and brass bracelets or shackles line his arms. His turban also has a ruby on it but also has a brown band at the base, upon which the ruby sits.

A third Efreet, holding a streaming fireball in each hand and wearing a purple vest and teal waist garment with brass adornments. His turban has no ruby on it, but instead strings of brass beads. Like the others, he has steel and brass bracelets on.

A wide shot of all three Efreeti in a row. All three appear to be preparing to launch fireballs upon their foes.

Finally finished my second (and third and fourth but those can wait) Conquest unit! I loved painting these Efreeti Flamecasters and my next unit will be the sword variant #nerdlings #cpnquesttlaok #sorcererkings #colorsofconquest @parabellumgames.bsky.social

An image of the Harry Houdini and Genie models from the Houdini and the Genie Unmatched box set. Houdini wears a white button up shirt with a red ascot, green suit jacket, and pinstripe pants. Broken manacles are on his wrists. The genie is being summoned from a golden lamp. Most of his body is made of smoke colored in a gradient from orange to purple. His arms, hands, and face are solid purple, and his beard is dark grey.

A close-up of the Houdini miniature. He stands in a flourishing pose, as if he has just completed a magic trick. He stands on a black base with a dark green rim.

A close-up of the Genie miniature. He has one arm across his chest as if he is about to bow before granting a wish. The base is gold, with a dark purple rim.

Houdini and the Genie from Unmatched! My friends have been playing this a lot, more to come as I paint my other box set up! #unmatched #houdiniandthegenie #nerdlings

So much of the “promise” of AI right now is saving time creating.

Let me say it from my chest: all I want is to spend *more* time creating. I’m not making content. I’m engaging in my vocation, my calling, my literal reason for existing.
