  • It’s been seven hours, if Nasrallah was dead it’d be out by now, this is a media blitz designed to distract from the civilian deaths caused by the bombings, bombings that took place while the UN was in session and the perpetrator was participating

    Hezbollah reports are straight up being ignored in favor of Reuter based “Hezbollah sources” because this media operation is nothing but an attempt to suffocate the story before it becomes an international scandal, there is evidence of active collusion or parallel coordination by all major western news orgs and even Al Jazeera, they’re all pushing the Nasrallah angle over the civilians deaths






  • About a month ago the date of the Bell Riots came and went, I found this interesting thread about it on the Star Trek sub and this comment in particular

    I get the notion of living through clever DS9 canon events but I was reading people encouraging cosplay in homeless encampments in San Francisco. That’s like those idiots who try to get social media clout by going Auschwitz.

    Stop it. People are having a tough enough time as it is and they don’t need Trekkers pretending.

    You want to do something to commemorate this day? Take them food, volunteer at a shelter. Better yet, vote on measures that will help at the ballot box.

    And if you want to cosplay, then be the change you want to see. Sisko, Bashir and Dax were Starfleet officers. THAT’S your cosplay. Get a bunch of friends together, Starfleet it up and volunteer at a kitchen or something, be the change.

    Interesting to see the effect that 1995 two-parter episode has had on pop culture, tho it seems like most Trekkies are still alright










  • In his character novel Master of Mankind, Games Workshop pretty much gave us the closest confirmation of his original appearance as we’re going to get from them, considering this description is told during his penultimate “Big Damn Hero” moment, where it’s implied he’s letting his mask slip

    And in a sunless realm, the sun rose at last.

    The light of dawn was palpable on Ra’s armour as well as his skin. It was a pressure, a presence with searing physicality. The enemy hordes felt it as acid on their skin. The creatures – daemons no matter what secular truths held strong – lost what little order they had ever possessed.

    The Anathema! Ra heard their frantic agony as a sick scraping on the edges of his mind. The Anathema comes! The sun rises!

    His features were those of one born in the wild lands of Ancient Eurasia. His skin was a Terran blend of bronze and burnt umber, His eyes darker still, His hair darkest of all. The long black fall of His hair was held by a simple circlet crown of metal leaves, binding the mane back from His face so He could fight. More practical than regal.
