Currently painting the MG Sword Striker pack black in preparation for my MG Perfect Strike (Recirculation color) build. Well, I say painting, but it's really more trying to wring out the last dregs of ink from a couple of old Sharpies, which involves making a few strokes and then setting the markers down for a while to wait for more ink to capillary down into the tip. So it's slow going.

I've also got a partially assembled MG Wing Proto Zero. Decals for the arms, shoulders, and shield are done, but I still need to apply the rest. I'm also in the middle of modifying a conversion kit for the Proto Zero which is supposed to give the wing binder pylons the ability to pivot, as well as extending the length of the wing binders to fit better the supermodel proportions that Katoki likes. Unfortunately, there are a couple of major fitting issues with the kit. The spacing for the pegs and holes on the replacement wing binders is completely off, which I didn't realize at first, so when I tried to test fit one of the binder pieces it snapped on me. Yeah. I was mainly interested in the kit for the pivot though, so while it's disappointing it's not a total loss. The other fitting issue is that you can't actually use part E29 (the ABS connector for the pylons that you plug the wing binders into during final assembly) with the conversion kit, because the spacing is too narrow for it. So you have to either file it down to fit, or dig up a spare polycap that'll fit instead. Also, the original design for this conversion kit is to have the pivot joint be a polycap held in place by a rod that you thread through the joint as the axle, but I decided I wanted to be clever and use a couple of leftover joints I had from Kotobukiya's MSG customization line instead, so I need to do some cutting and drilling to make room for the joint pegs.

Why use a two-horned white rhino when the Indian rhino (ie Rhinoceros unicornis) exists?

He's saying that she's not a person because cops don't deserve to be considered people.

I could have sworn I've seen a version of this where the text is in English.

• Eric Adams
• Sucking up to El Taco since people started making noise about his corruption
• "Moderate"

Yeah, okay, whatever you say, corporate stooge.

Sure, but you won't ever see them ask "why does shit suck when the guy I voted for is in charge?" It'll just be more "why did Joe Biden do this?"

Should this not be suburban hell instead?

Do we really, though? I don't trust El Taco to remember what he's wearing at the moment, let alone whether or not he ordered a hit.

Can confirm, was kid in the 90s. Sadly the reality of working in the industry did not measure up. Same as being a paleontologist, strangely enough.

Back in my day, the military considered groups like gangsters and white supremacists joining up and then taking that training back to their fellows a bad thing.

You mean like now?

Upvote for using POV correctly.

A black person hanging from a tree in Mississippi? Sure, it could be suicide, but c'mon. Let's be real here. It's on them to prove that this wasn't a lynching.

Afterwards, Anthony, the man who was attacked told LCRW that he did it because he “hated Nazis.” Though the man espoused several conspiratorial right-wing beliefs in an interview, he told LCRW that the neo-Nazis that beat him up were “traitors.”

Wow.

His last onscreen role was apparently in Winter Soldier 11 years ago, so with COVID time dilation that's perfectly understandable.

I've been using a flip phone as my actual phone for a while now. I just find the tactility of being able to flip open the phone to answer, and flip shut the phone to hang up, is so much more satisfying that swiping on a screen. I do have my smartphone because I need WhatsApp and MFA for work related reasons, but I have no desire to be accessible 24/7, so if I'm out and about you can fuck off until I get back.

This isn't explicitly mandatory, so just don't attend. You're not being paid to socialize, after all.

Actually, Candace Owen put out a slideshow of her just goofing around with Kirk on Instagram. If I didn't already know they were both terrible people it would have been really heartwarming. So she, of all people, gives a fuck, at least for now.

Actually, I just received a P-Bandai shipment yesterday. Ecopla EG Gundam, Ecopla MG Aile Strike ver RM, and 30MM Spinatia (Saint Valkyrie Type). Did the EG and Spinatia already, so now I just need to build the Aile Strike.

And then decide on how to color the Sword Striker pack from the Launcher/Sword Striker set I got last month for a Redistribution Color Perfect Strike. The actual Ecopla Aile Striker pack is all black, except for the original black and yellow bits (which are neon pink). Easy enough to do with the Launcher Striker pack, which is mostly green (ie black) with some red (also black) and yellow (ie neon pink). But the Sword Striker pack is two shades of blue with some white, so I need to decide if I should go for all black, or make the darker blue neon pink instead.

Just, y'know. If you do, shut the fuck up about it and don't tell your bestie or whoever. "Three can keep a secret if two are dead" and all.
