Monday night model kit

[follow-up-news]

Twenty-seven states and the District of Columbia on Monday filed a lawsuit in bankruptcy court seeking to block the sale of personal genetic data by 23andMe without customer consent. The lawsuit comes as a biotechnology company seeks the court’s approval to buy the struggling firm. Biological samples, DNA data, health-related traits and medical records are too sensitive to be sold without each person’s express, informed consent, Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield said in a news release about the lawsuit. Customers should have the right to control such deeply personal information and it cannot be sold like ordinary property, it said. 23andMe customers use saliva-based DNA testing kits to learn about their ancestry and find long-lost relatives. Founded in 2006, the company also conducted health research and drug development. But it struggled to find a profitable business model since going public in 2021.

satosugu mailman au 💌

a very special delivery for @kymsys's birthday! how many days will it take for satoru to fall in love with his new mailman? let's find out!!

here's part one for my tumblr pals to enjoy! however, i'll be posting this work over quite a few days over on twitter/x, so please head over there if you want to follow along! if you don't have an account, i'll be uploading the entire thing to my ao3 when it's done — so don't fret ♥️ enjoy the fic!!

There were three things Gojō Satoru loved above all else: sweets, scale model kits, and sleep. He was a simple man in that sense — really, he asked for very little except a healthy supply of sugary treats, the occasional plastic mech, and an undisturbed lie-in seven days a week. So, when the shrill ring of his doorbell wrenched Satoru from a beautiful dream at exactly 8am on a Monday morning? Needless to say, he wasn’t pleased. Now, Satoru wasn’t an unreasonable person. He understood that the rest of the world started moving a little earlier than him — which is why Satoru had taken special measures to protect his precious rest without hindering anyone else. He’d chosen a job that allowed him to work from home, forgone the company of a housemate in favour of living alone, and — most importantly for a hobbyist like Satoru who ordered more kits, paints, and crafting tools than any one person needed — installed a secure parcel drop box outside his front door, preventing the need for anyone to pester him. That’s why Satoru didn’t bother getting out of bed after the first ring, assuming that the person who’d decided to disturb him would eventually figure it out for themselves. Perhaps they were a bit slow though — because less than thirty seconds later, the doorbell came screaming through the house again. Swearing into his pillow, Satoru pulled the duvet up to his ears. All he could do was hope they’d leave quickly so he could snatch at least some sleep in the 45 minutes left until his alarm went off. No such luck. Right when Satoru thought it was safe to relax, the doorbell started up again — and this time, it didn’t stop. With a stream of profanities falling from his lips, Satoru hauled himself out of bed, seeing red as he stomped down the stairs and marched across the hallway to the front door. He flung it open with a frustrated snarl, preparing to share some choice words with the impatient piece of shit on the other side — only for his insults to die on his tongue at the sight of the man standing before him. The broadest shoulders he’d ever laid eyes on; thick arms, tanned and toned; a muscular torso tapering down to a tiny waist — and all packaged in a uniform, for god’s sake. When Satoru finally managed to lift his jaw off the floor, he looked up at the man’s face and the damn thing unhinged from his skull all over again. He was all sharp cheekbones and sunkissed skin and the sweetest smile Satoru had ever seen. Perhaps a little too sweet now that he really looked at it. ‘I think your doorbell is broken.’

Sure, the guy was hot — easily the prettiest person Satoru had ever seen — but that didn’t stop his eye from twitching at the blatant passive aggression masked behind that sickly sweet smile. Satoru matched it with one of his own. ‘I assure you, it’s not.’ ‘Oh, I’m so sorry!’ Satoru didn't think he seemed sorry in the slightest — even if his voice did sound like melted chocolate. ‘I’ve got a parcel for Gojō Satoru?’ When hot mailman tilted his head to the right, a lock of glossy black hair fell into his face. Too short to secure in his bun and too short to tuck behind his ear, he simply brushed it away from warm eyes the colour of honey. Satoru wondered if every part of him was as gorgeous. ‘It needs a signature.’ Shocked out of his stupor, Satoru's gaze travelled to the box at the right of the door. ’The regular guy always puts them in there.’ Hot mailman simply beamed at him. ‘Do I look like the regular guy to you?’ No, Satoru thought. There’s nothing regular about you. As though he could read minds, hot mailman winked at him. ‘Then I’ll need a signature, please.’ And god — he was so effortlessly charming that, for the first time in his life, Satoru found himself speechless. For a long moment, he simply stood there, gawping like an idiot. When hot mailman eventually quirked an amused eyebrow in his direction, Satoru had no choice but to take the signature pad being waved at him, managing to make a hash of his name before wordlessly handing it back. Having completely and utterly embarrassed himself, Satoru had started to retreat into the safety of his home when a strong hand closed around the edge of the door. Hot mailman popped his head around the side. ‘You forgot your parcel.’ Satoru watched those amber eyes as they slid down the length of his body — and hot mailman's sickly sweet smile morphed into a devilish grin. ‘Your clothes, too.’ Glancing down at himself, Satoru’s heart stopped in his chest when he realised he’d answered the door in nothing but his boxers — and not fitted Calvin Kleins that emphasised what he was working with either. No, the ratty, stretched out Digimon boxers he’d owned since he was 17. With a mortified squeak, Satoru snatched the parcel from hot mailman’s hands and slammed the door in his face, uncaring of whether his stupid bangs got caught in the doorframe. Tossing the package onto the floor, Satoru brought his palms to his rapidly heating cheeks, taking a moment to stare into the silence of his hallway. Then, he summoned all the air in his lungs and let out the single loudest ‘fuck!’ he’d ever produced. Hot mailman’s beautiful laughter travelled down the entire length of the driveway.

More than a decade after the advent of the 3D-printed gun as an icon of libertarianism and a gun control nightmare, police say one of those homemade plastic weapons has now been found in the hands of perhaps the world’s most high-profile alleged killer. For the community of DIY gunsmiths who have spent years honing those printable firearm models, in fact, the handgun police claim Luigi Mangione used to fatally shoot UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is as recognizable as the now-famous alleged shooter himself—and shows just how practical and lethal those weapons have become.

In the 24 hours since police released a photo of what they say is Mangione’s gun following the 26-year-old’s arrest Monday, the online community devoted to 3D-printed firearms has been quick to identify the suspected murder weapon as a particular model of printable “ghost gun”—a homemade weapon with no serial number, created by assembling a mix of commercial and DIY parts. The gun appears to be a Chairmanwon V1, a tweak of a popular partially 3D-printed Glock-style design known as the FMDA 19.2—an acronym that stands for the libertarian slogan “Free Men Don’t Ask.”

The FMDA 19.2, released in 2021, is a relatively old model by 3D-printed-gun standards, says one gunsmith who goes by the first name John and the online handle Mr. Snow Makes. But it’s one of the most well-known and well-tested printable ghost gun designs, he says. The Chairmanwon V1 remix that police say Mangione had in his possession when he was arrested in a Altoona, Pennsylvania McDonald’s varies from that original FMDA 19.2 design only in that another amateur gunsmith, who goes by the pseudonym Chairmanwon, added a different texture to the gun’s grip.

“For someone who has been building firearms like this for five years, it’s a bit of an odd choice. We’ve been building nicer models,” says Mr. Snow Makes, who hosts an annual ghost gun shooting competition. But he adds that “this is one of the earliest 3D-print Glock styles that was widely tested and successful at creating a reliably functional firearm.”

Authorities in New York charged Mangione on Monday in the December 4 murder of Thompson, alongside weapons charges and other alleged offenses in Pennsylvania. A handwritten “manifesto” police say they found on Mangione's person upon his arrest laments UnitedHealthcare's practices and the US health insurance industry more broadly. Bullet casings discovered at the scene of the shooting outside the New York Hilton Midtown hotel in Manhattan were reportedly emblazoned with the words “deny,” “defend,” “depose”—likely criticisms of health care industry practices.

The fact that even a relatively old model of 3D-printed firearm allegedly allowed Mangione to shoot Thompson repeatedly on a Manhattan street—certainly the most high-profile shooting ever committed with a ghost gun or a 3D-printed weapon—shows how far DIY weapons tech has come, says Cody Wilson, the founder of the gun rights group Defense Distributed. Unlike the earliest 3D-printed gun models, the FDMA 19.2 can be fired hundreds or even thousands of times without its plastic components breaking.

“It just speaks to the ease with which you can do this,” says Wilson. “He doesn’t have to be an expert at 3D-printed guns or shooting, and it all works.”

Despite its simple description by law enforcement and others as a “3D-printed pistol,” the FMDA 19.2 is only partially 3D printed. That makes it fundamentally different from fully 3D-printed guns like the “Liberator,” the original one-shot, 3D-printed pistol Wilson debuted in 2013.

Instead, firearms built from designs like the FMDA 19.2 are assembled from a combination of commercially produced parts like barrels, slides, and magazines—sometimes sold in kits—and a homemade frame. Because that frame, often referred to as a “lower receiver” or “lower," is the regulated body of the gun, 3D-printing that piece or otherwise creating it at home allows DIY gunmakers to skirt gun-control laws and build ghost guns with no serial number, obtained with no background check or waiting period.

The FMDA 19.2 model, released by a group originally known as Deterrence Dispensed—a gun-building group initially inspired by Wilson’s Defense Distributed but now widely seen as a rival—was distinguished by its use of commercially available “rails,” the metal components that guide the upper part of the gun known as its slide, which retracts with every shot, resetting the trigger and loading a new round into the chamber. (In a widely circulated video of Thompson's murder, the gun allegedly fired by Mangione appears not to have functioned as a semiautomatic. That's a result of the suppressor attachment preventing its re-chambering mechanism, gunsmiths say.)

The FMDA 19.2's relatively simple tweak—the use of commercially produced metal rails instead of homemade ones—led the gun model to be considered the most practical and reliable 3D-printed Glock design available at the time it was released three years ago. “There had been earlier Glock-style pistols, but the interior rail components were not as refined,” says Mr. Snow Makes. “It’s kind of that perfect blend of 3D-printed frame and precision rails.”

Deterrence Dispensed, the group behind that FMDA 19.2 design, has since rebranded under the name “the Gatalog.” But the group’s original website still bears the libertarian gun rights slogans that summarize its ideology. “All individuals are entitled to the utility to defend their humanity,” the site reads. “Gun control has failed. You can’t stop the signal.”

A founder of Deterrence Dispensed who went by the named Jstark, later revealed to be a now-deceased German man named Jakob Duygu, was featured in a 2020 Popular Front documentary wearing a black balaclava and sunglasses. “We want people to have freedom of speech and the right to bear arms," he says in the film. “If that’s too politically extreme for you, fuck yourself.”

Just two months ago, one Bergen, New York, man who allegedly acted as an administrator for the Gatalog named Peter Celentano was arrested and charged with illegal ownership of two machine guns and numerous 3D-printed and other homemade handgun and AR-15 components.

Exactly why Mangione allegedly used a 3D-printed gun in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s Thompson—whether as a political statement or in the belief that it would help him evade identification—remains far from clear. But as a coder and technologist, he may have been attracted to the idea. “This is the US. It’s not the easiest way to get your hands on a gun,” says another DIY gunsmith who spoke to WIRED but asked not to be named, in reference to 3D-printed firearms. “But he’s a techy guy, and he may have just owned a 3D printer. It wouldn’t be a bad way to make an untraceable gun.”

Making a new, more accurate intro post.

Hi, I'm Default! A guy? Gal? Thing on the internet!

I'm 22, Genderfluid, Bisexual, Panromantic, Autistic, ADHD, ES, and probably depressed and high anxiety though I don't have an official diagnosis (When I got my autism diagnosis they said I probably was but couldn't legally diagnose me).

ANY PRONOUNS ARE FINE! He/him, she/her, they/them, it/its, etc. It changes so often I don't care what you use or if you use the wrong ones.

This is my main blog where I do my regular posting.

I also have @clockworkdaughter which is my NSFW (not porn) blog, and @modelingtipstricks which is pretty much dead but in theory I'll post tips and tricks on making models, dioramas, and miniatures.

This blog has a few things. I'll post models and dioramas I've made, the occasional amateur art and writings I've done, and just general thoughts and opinions on everything and anything.

The main thing I do is Maid Monday, where I post and rate maid designs and uniforms as a maid first and character second. I've been pretty consistent about posting this year.

Different tags I use

Maid Monday: It's Maid Monday

Malarky: For miscellaneous text posts

Usually my ES stuff will be tagged with Dollcore but not always.

I don't have a drawing or writing tag yet because I post about it so rarely.

Stuff I'm interested in:

Anime, games, books, TV. I'm just a Media junkie in general. Some of my favorites are; Anything Mecha, Valkyria Chronicles, Fallout, Metal Gear, Nikke.

I also like planes, model kits, miniatures, body horror, writing, tabletop games, D&D, Industrial Punk.

Favorite Game: Valkyria Chronicles

Favorite show: Interviews with Monster Girls (It's wholesome I swear)

Favorite Movie: Porco Rosso

Pre-Act 1 Lore

Zaria’s parent’s house is on the same street as Sora’s grandmother’s house.

Her grandpa set up a bad healthcare system before he died that passed onto her father (only accessible to the rich)

Her father made it worse (lies about why people can’t get the life saving healthcare they need)

Her father was business partners with Sora’s parents

Her father is business partners with Rhiannon

Health / pregnancy issues have likely been passed onto her by both of her parents

Zaria’s father has fainting issues due to overworking

Zaria got her father’s chronic illness

She was only born as a potential heir for if her dad died

Her parents wanted a boy to run the company because of traditional values

Her uncle is head of HR

Any large change needs to get past HR, making positive changes impossible

Media and government are in on it

First memory is winning Ramshackle’s Next Top Model or whatever the fuck it’s called and being overwhelmed.

Parents were mentally abusive

Her father used his ability to get over his chronic illness to get Zaria to suck hers up

Zaria was taught to not love anything because it causes weakness

Was “friends” with Avrille but hated her

Was never taught any survival skills

Was “on-call” for modeling on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday

The modeling instructor isn’t as harsh on Zaria due to her father having a deal with the instructor (company stuff). The other kids resent Zaria for this

She does know basic First Aid due to her father having fainting spells as a pre-teen

Almost caused an oil fire while trying to cook.

Zaria doesn’t want to marry a man, but her parents won’t accept anybody that isn’t male

Doesn’t have good memories regarding people drinking alcohol

Her father used to throw beer bottles at her

Has vague trauma reactions to angry outbursts

Got an embroidery kit at about 13-14 years old that she used mainly on Wednesdays

Zaria used her embroidery skills to fix up an old jacket

She’s had to attend meetings since she was 15 (1 year and a couple months before running away)

Zaria was homeschooled as a kid, and Wednesday’s meetings were considered part of her schooling.

She was 16 when she ran away

Act 1 happened about 2 months afterwards

With Act 1 being over as of typing I figured that I’d post the lore that we know for Zaria. This is everything that’s public for what happened before Act 1.

Time for sunday monday report, nerds!

I've spent some amazing three days at this year's Gaelcon in Dublin, and among lots of things, playing with one of the official catalyst demo teams here in Ireland.

Saturday opened with a grand melee, an all va all mech grinder where each player was given a random mech, and could take a new one and enter every time they were defeated.

Sunday started with the attack to a republic of the sphere depot by opportunistic parties, a nice scenario where we had to attack a well defended outpost.

And the painting competition! I'm particularly joyful when talking about this one, since i actually managed to get the first prize with my federated suns archer!

And finally, today we had the grand finale, a huge alpha strike battle in the ilklan era!

I wish i could add way more photos, but alas, Tumblr limits myself to ten. I don't really need to say that I'm both exhausted and filled with joy, and with determination to keep working in the next projects!

Also, a huge shout-out to Nick from Gray primer, for organising the painting competition, i will leave a link to their YouTube channel, their dioramas are fantastic, and having someone of their level judging my paint jobs smashes my impostor syndrome like a hammer smashes a vase, so please, give them a visit!

Hexagear Weird Tails Night Stalkers Ver. (Kotobukiya)

Weird Tails remains my favorite Hexagear build, and I think it looks amazing in a darker color scheme! This kit comes with 2 options for the accent color, but I went with the red instead of the metallic grey to match its sibling. Same mold as the standard Weird tails, so another fun and smooth build!

Model kitting

My fingers are on fire but it’s ok because I have starscreams *assets* done. I think it’s so silly they really chose his chassis, waist, and aft to be the first parts to assemble 😭 I was so confused if I did his aft right too because the instructions are a bit weird, but I think it’s ok 👍

I’m hoping to get him done by Monday but we’ll seeeee

"Welcome to the Theatre": Diary of a Broadway Baby

Romeo + Juliet

November 4, 2024 | Broadway | Circle in the Square | Evening | Play | Adaptation | 2H 10M

I don't even have it in me to be a Grade A Hater today. But damned if I'm not going to try. I saw this on Monday, and I was miserable for over two hours. The pre-show bass beat seems designed to cultivate the most hostile environment humanly possible. After about ten minutes of intense and oppressive noise, I felt genuinely ill. I don't do loud music. I don't go to screaming concerts. Forty minutes of this pre-show bass had me feeling nauseous, short-of-breath, and incredibly pissed the fuck off. I wore earplugs and still the physical vibrations set my teeth on edge.

The entire show is a quizzical muddling of the text includes nonsensical double-casting choices, aimless and misguided direction, and contrived original music that slots awkwardly into place. This production aims to attract a young audience and succeeds only in showcasing the absolute dregs of theatrical artistry. This tiktok-modeled production is a cesspool of insufferable clip-length moments stuck together with scotch tape and paperclips. Actors do little to embody the characters beyond superficial posturing, instead spending all their energy on humping and grinding on each other (and a big stuffed bear?) at any opportunity. There is little visual distinction between the families because everyone is dressed like sixteen-year-olds going to a club with their fake IDs.

The adaptation goes out of its way to emphasize that Juliet is "not yet fourteen," on multiple occasions, and (presumably) fills the theatre lobby and sparse scenery with arcade-style stuffed bears to symbolize their youth. And yet, the direction is hypersexualized to the extreme. That boy never puts on a proper shirt and the girl spends most of the show in boyshorts and tanktops. Their relationship has been directed to be as sexy and titillating as possible, instead of a sweet and awkward affair between two young teens. Everyone else is groping each other non-stop, but also kind of incel-like. They binge drink, they vape, they sexually assault one another for fun. So like...everyone's horny but no one's fucking. Great. Vulgar for shock-value and little exploration of the tragedies of young love. And of the affair itself, it's largely one-sided. Kit Conner is giving a respectable performance and seems mostly at-ease with Shakespearan text, while Rachel Zegler is truly out-of-her-depth with the language and character. Which is surprising given that she basically did Juliet already once before. The original music she's given is contrived and ill-suited to the plot, but who cares when it fulfills its sole purpose. She gets a song. Woo-hoo. It's not great.

Other nonsensical decisions include having one character goading audiences into a chorus of "We Are Young" immediately after Juliet feigns suicide and her parents (played by the same actor with little distinction beyond stereotyped gender performance that seems more than a little misogynistic) weep over her corpse. Because god forbid young audiences be allowed to sit with a poignant moment. The first half is punctuated every few minutes by that deafening bass and more gyrating choreography for whatever reason. I kept the earplugs in the whole time and it was still too loud.

If we are to assume the only theatrical productions that can attract a young audiences must also be bereft of nuance, drama, and depth, then yeah, okay, sure. The show is right: the youth are fucked.

Verdict: Someone Put This Dumpster Fire Out

A Note on Ratings

[sakurarisen]

⚡ : What typically leads to inspiration for you when it comes to writing? 💔 : What kinds of characters do you have the most trouble writing for? 💕 : When it comes to shipping do you prefer to draw things out and let them develop slowly, or do you prefer to jump right into them and skip the developmental stage?

Monday Malarkey!

⚡ : What typically leads to inspiration for you when it comes to writing?

Just about anything, honestly? But for the vast majority of it, it's music and whatever game or book I'm into at the moment, three times as much if it's the source material for the verse I'm writing. It's rare that I can pick up Genshin or the Remake games and not walk away with some kind of inspiration or plot related thought by the end of my play session, and the light novels I'm reading now have sparked up a ton of it in regards to things like Sera's health and worldbuilding. Music often makes me sit and daydream out plots, too, so it brings its own form of inspiration - Heck, the Halcyon Era storyline/Sera's full backstory was inspired by a gorgeous mecha figure promoted in an email from one of the shops I buy Gundam model kits from, though I wasn't expecting the colorscheme and words 'Snow Phoenix' that inspired me to create to turn into the massive story it has!

Tl;dr? Never let me read or play games, I make things happen after. XD

💔 : What kinds of characters do you have the most trouble writing for?

The asshole, in your face, stuck up, only here to be a jerk types. The ones whose personality is "I'm here to be a problem and have nothing else going for me". I love a good antagonist and I have a few more blunt, serious, will fight you for fun muses (Leandros, Kalistratos, and Kagota over on @thundertide being primary examples of this XD), but I really struggle when their entire personality is abrasive jerk and they don't ever act like anything but, or they're just the scheming type constantly trying to cause issues - Even just a straight antagonist who would cause problems and smirk and leave is difficult for me to grasp, regardless of if they have more to their character or not? Like I could never write Rufus Shinra even though he's a pretty well rounded character 'cause I just can't get my head around that character, and it'll never not impress me others can and write him and characters like him so well. <3

I'm also not very good with writing canon characters. I have a handful, both on @shinrarisen and Thundertide, but unless they're characters like Kunsel or Cissnei, who have more open to interpretation storylines and big gaps to fill in, I end up feeling suffocated and struggling to match what canon gives. Basically, I didn't create them, so trying to match what the creator made gets hard because I can't just step into their mind and know everything about the character, if that makes sense? It's why the canons I do have end up being at least somewhat divergent in their portrayals - Because I love them and click with them enough to write them, but I don't feel like I do a straight, fully canon compliant take any kind of justice. ...Or I just don't agree with part of their story, looking at you old Yu-Gi-Oh multimuse of mine-

💕 : When it comes to shipping do you prefer to draw things out and let them develop slowly, or do you prefer to jump right into them and skip the developmental stage?

Both, but I will say the later requires heavy trust in my partner, and isn't really exactly a 'we ship now' and go. I have maybe three incredibly close friends I trust to skip the developmental phases in a ship and the ship still work out, but we have years of friendship and rp'ing partnership behind us for that to happen; this is seen best in my Genshin multimuse, where new characters get added and already have a ship tag - But to be fair, too, it's not exactly an insta-ship, either. While Kasa ( @honorisen ) and I jump into them pretty quick, what people don't see is the behind the scenes discussion on it, deciding if the muses even get along, letting them meet in short, one off things off-dash, let the muses flirt, really talking out how things worked out... We're jumping right into it and avoiding writing out the buildup (which gets usually drabbled or even a flashback thread much later on - It's avoided at the start but ends up happening eventually anyway to flesh out the characters and their relationship(s)), but we're still in heavy talks beforehand to make sure what we're really eager to do for a ship will even work, first - And if we actually like it when it's more than just a thought, even though our muses generally always just... Click.

For the most part, thought, I LOVE developing a ship! I love the buildup, I love the working things out and getting on the same page, the seeing if the muses get along, the figuring out of "how do we navigate this" - It's a big part of why even with close friends I can just skip into the ship with, we eventually come back and develop an entire story with them and even rp or drabble out those developmental stages. Sera and Zack had years of buildup even though their blogs were launched with their ship already in place, both on dash and off, but over on Thundertide and @yoroiis, Childe and Kagota swandived into a ship, yet we've gone back and worked out not only the developmental stages, but have a couple of ideas from those stages waiting in the wings to rp out and are constantly learning more about their backstory together, both as a ship and as old, childhood best friends.

I can't just 'okay, we ship now' with most partners - I can't even do it with you, Knight, OR with Kasa, even though you're both two of the three previously mentioned friends. I can launch blogs with ships in place, I can skip the developmental stages and go right into a ship when the muses click as well as we have - But I can't just cast it aside completely. Even when a ship is decided, we're still discussing how they met, how the ship happened, how they got where they are. We still go back and rp that out, or write it up. The development may be skipped in one verse, but it's very much present in another, and mimics the first regardless. In my personal opinion, ships that don't have any development, even discussed, feel shallow to me? And I mean that as in my muses and my ships and my experiences - Everyone else's varies and it may not feel that way to someone else, and that's totally awesome! <3 I'm glad other people can pick up two characters, tell them to kiss, and it works! But me personally... I can't. I have to have something, somewhere, and I have the best partners in the world who do the same. <3

Canon fake peppino vs fan Canon fake peppino

On Monday I finally got the model kit here is how it looks
