5 minutes til I make a sword and take your questions on propmaking, 3d printing, molding and casting, and basically whatever else as long as you're not a jerk!
Come raise some money for Stella, an extremely talented fellow narrative designer who just got literally robbed by a former studio!
There are many reasons why the Democrats lost in 2024. Gaza was one of them. The response to student protests were another, and there are many others.
Remind me again when Biden supported the right of the protestors to peaceful protest? Oh wait, he didn't. He supported the actions of campus police, state troopers, and others.

Unless & until the Democrats learn the lessons of why they lost in 2024, they are doomed to repeat that. Even if by some miracle they gain majorities in one or both Houses of Congress during this year's midterms, their current leadership shows no sign of knowing what to do with that to oppose Trump.
As someone who witnessed those protests through the lenses of non-US media accounts, & what some of the students themselves have said, I am fairly confident in my assertion.
I'm sorry if you don't want to admit the failings of the Biden administration, but burying your head in the sand won't help.
No, it's not.
What happened to protesting students under the Biden administration broke them. What's happening to them now under the Trump administration is keeping them down, with fear that even worse things will happen to them.
None of that is healthy. Both administrations are at fault.
Those students deserve the right to protest in safety. They deserve the right to make their voices heard. The same rights & freedoms I enjoyed, & all those who came before me enjoyed, to speak truth to power.
Finding & using your voice is such an important part of becoming your own independent self
During my own undergrad years, I helped with the organisation of one of the largest protests against education cuts.
I feel so sad for those students in the US who are afraid to protest. Who were let down by those who should have stood in solidarity with them.
I live in a country where student protest is almost a rite of passage. The Northern Ireland civil rights movement is inexorably linked to student protest. When I started my undergrad, students were protesting en-masse about the rise in tuition fees.
I'd go one further and say that some of them, particularly international students or those who ICE may believe are international students, will have seen what happened to students like Rümeysa Öztürk, Leqaa Kordia, Mahmoud Khalil, & Mohsen Mahdawi & be scared the same or worse will happen to them.
Ya know what, maybe we should reduce the economic and political power of techbros. Clearly they're a harm to the social fabric of modern society.
Should also probably check their blood-lead levels too, seeing how many of them chug Huel like there's no tomorrow.
Has there been any updates on the progress of the NI case? I can't seem to find anything on the GLP website after the announcement you were bringing the case on 11 July last year.

Trans rights are human rights.
Thank you, Wembley.

Also: Bob Hoskins AND John Leguizamo AND Dennis Hopper in the same film. That’s one hell of a talented cast.
I still maintain that people massively misunderstood Canto Bight. Poe set Finn and Rose up to fail when he chose to send them. They were not the right people to find and recruit the Codebreaker, and that they managed to get DJ was a fluke.
Poe should have sent someone else, either with them or instead of them. That was his failing, he wasn't thinking like a general, he was still thinking as a fighter pilot. He didn't switch to thinking like a general until near the end of the film, when they were on Crait.
YES! I think so many people missed the point of that sequence.
Finn and Rose were set up to fail. Poe made the wrong choice in sending a recently awoken former storm trooper, a technically brilliant but socially naive mechanic, & a BB droid to recruit the Master Codebreaker, who was not DJ.
Some folks did figure out how to unofficially backport it a few years ago, but it involves copying several files from a specific Win98 beta.

Nerding out slightly. That machine is running at least Windows 98. The Win32 function for drawing an application's titlebar didn't get the flag for a gradient until partway through Win98's development and it was never officially backported, even when IE4's Windows Desktop Update was installed.
Two spare tickets for the Trans Mission concert in Wembley if anyone can use them
Amazing thread here from Cal Horton, with an incredibly fierce ending!

I do like that idea of morale being a mix of victories and keeping to Federation principles. It's not too different from how Across the Unknown handles it to be fair. Alt-Riker's end in Parallels came about when he abandoned those principles to try and stay in that alt universe.
> time travel, Q, defeat the Borg
Combine all three and you've got the very camp Star Trek: Borg game from 1996.
Damnit @wishda.bsky.social, now you're making me really want to make this game. If only I had the money for the TNG license, and to set up my own studio to make it.
If you have the narrative freedom from a what if the Borg assimilated Earth scenario, undoing that with time travel seems almost too cliché. That's not to say you couldn't do it, it'd just have to be one possible good outcome among several.
It was the loss at Earth though that I think was more devastating to alt-Riker's timeline. Even in the prime timeline, Starfleet lost at Wolf 359, they only won the day because Data hacked all the Borg to sleep. So you'd want to time travel back to that ideally. Bit of a cop-out though.
For everyone else in Discovery it was safe, because they only jumped time. The implication from that episode was that it was the jumping of both time and space that was the problem. Though Voyager itself did establish that time travel can also be harmful; temporal psychosis in the episode Relativity
You could, though then you start to run into the problem Emperor Georgiou had in season 3 of Star Trek Discovery; as Kovich said, your molecules are only meant to exist in the time and space in which they were created.
