In Kamchatka, russia, it has snowed so much that you can jump out of windows. It is said that this is causing big problems for russian security services, because the "fall out of the window" tactic no longer works.

Update on my #StarTrek #Krakatoa work in #Blender. Playing around with some characters someone else on the project set up. #B3D #3Dart #BlenderArt

1/ 30 years ago, Russian law enforcement agents started wearing masks to carry out their duties. It soon became a standard tactic to intimidate and extort those seen as opponents of the regime, and became known in Russian as a 'mask show'. ⬇️

1/ Donald Trump's aggressive tactics over Greenland are causing consternation among his far-right allies in Europe. With European publics overwhelmingly against surrendering Greenland, leading European far-rightists have come out in opposition to Trump's plans. ⬇️

The 𝙊𝙉𝙇𝙔 viable response to this is loud, direct, and (legally) obstructive action from all quarters. Otherwise, we can no longer say they aren’t doing it in our name - failure to act is a confirmation of ownership of the causes of it. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 #Minneapolisprotests #MeltICE cnb.cx/49hCXe8

Almost 200 House Republicans want people to die.

Iran’s unrest is escalating. In Abadan, security forces reportedly refused to disperse protesters and instead joined them. The Times reports that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is preparing a contingency plan to flee with his family to Moscow if the situation spirals out of control.

MAGA mocks Russia. Now I’ve seen it all.

@portalrealm.bsky.social do you have blueprints of any ST: Generations Enterprise B stuff? I'm specifically looking for this, which was also, at least in part, used as the sickbay (second image):

@repdangoldman.bsky.social re your appearance on @maddow.bsky.social @maddowblog.bsky.social just now: I guess the difference between us and Putin doing that in Ukraine is our armed forces are still competent (for now)? Yeah, oy. BTW, I'm in your district (Atlantic Ave) and am awaiting impeachment.

@theweekendmsnow.bsky.social why the hell did you give Rep Anna Paulina Luna a free pass on her fentanyl statement!? 😡 Y'all know better! 😡 Your producers should have been screaming into your ears to challenge that BS! That shit don't come from there!!!! 🤬😡🤬😡 This was about 🤬ing oil! 😡😡😡😡 #venezuela

The US is trapped in a permanent election cycle; it’s not an accident. Binary parties, unlimited money, and nonstop campaigning are exhausting generations of voters and blocking true governance. This is an important read on how democracy should work. www.patreon.com/posts/electi... #BindingChaos

One thing I generally agreed with #MAGA on was ending foreign entanglements. So, was #Trump literally _taking over_ #Venezuela on your bingo card, MAGA? How do you square that circle? We always knew your leader was a 🤬ing liar, hopefully now you do too. 😡

Day late and a dollar short 🤣, but happy holidays! #StarTrek #Blender #B3D #3DArt

In this holiday season, remember what was lost, and also what remains. #SlavaUkraïni #SlavaUkraine www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Umv...

#StarTrek galley #blender model update. #BlenderArt #3Dart #B3D

While looking for a good ready-made Christmas tree to drop into a Blender project I'm working on, I ran across this. It will absolutely end up in my project. :D #SlavaUkraine #SlavaUkraÏni 🇺🇦 #Blender www.blenderkit.com/asset-galler...

You wiley little mother🤬s, I caught ya! I get it, some actor's ass was too big, so you just moved the island over a foot. Pretty sure Shatner wasn't in that scene, though, so who bumped it? 🤣 Now I need my fellow #StarTrek geeks to help me confirm whether it was just that shot. Also need... (cont'd)

@maddow.bsky.social re political conversations in Irish (or any other) bars, totally agree. Requires a bit of tact and a willingness to walk away when necessary, but I have gained much from such encounters. 😉♥️

#StarTrek VI: The Undiscovered Country galley in #Blender - getting very close to done with this thing. Now down to a surprisingly small number of details - mainly just missing some monster maroons and a few pots and pans. 😂 #3DArt #B3D

As y'all can see, I've got an empty wall over here I need to fill with that thing. 😀 I could probably extrapolate approximate dimensions for it but I can't imagine I'd get very close. 🫤

Any of my follow geeks out there able to identify this wall-mounted weapons locker from #StarTrek VI? I'm really hoping that's an off the shelf object so I can get accurate dimensions for it...

More progress on the #StarTrek VI galley set in #Blender:

[email protected] @arimelber.bsky.social Oy!! I just heard you (mis)pronounce "cache" like "cachet" (should be like "cash") on MSNOW. Please don't do that again! A PM at work does that crap - as a web developer, that one is almost as annoying as people conflating slash with backslash. 😖 🤣🤣🤣

I am grateful for how much of this is repeating components. 😂 A lot of this is extrapolation since good refs other than screengrabs and rack unit standards are hard to come by, but I honestly wouldn't have even attempted this a few months ago. 🤣 #StarTrek #Blender #B3D #3DArt

#StarTrek VI: The Undiscovered Country galley #WIP. #Blender #B3D #BlenderArt #3DArt

This post raises an interesting idea: could @bsky.app add basic formatting (bold, italic, etc)? It'd be nice to have that option without wasting characters on emphasis. 🙂

Wondering if anyone has more info about this Jeffries tube set from #StarTrek II: The Wrath of Khan? The blueprints @portalrealm.bsky.social has don't seem to match the set as built (not even remotely close). Also, when in the movie does it appear?

This is how you make proper use of leftover turkey - Thai red curry with turkey, sweet potato, baby bok choy, a red bell pepper, shitake mushrooms, half an onion, Kaffir lime leaves, and a bit of cilantro. Yeah, pretty sure no one else in my family ever beat that. 🤣

I _STRONGLY_ support this and I can't understand why it wasn't done decades ago. Read Donald Shoup's "The High Cost of Free Parking" before arguing otherwise. 😉

Calling all #StarTrek geeks (and especially @gaghyogi49.bsky.social 😀) - anyone know what on earth this set across the corridor from the transporter room in stage 9 was originally before it was Troi's office or the TUC galley? All the refs I've got just refer to "existing set". LOL

Viewport #Blender renders of my current set build for the #Krakatoa #StarTrek project. Just now kicked off a full render before I go to bed, but those take a while on an Intel Mac (🤬ing @blender.org really 🤬ed us over - I paid damned good money for a GPU I can't even use because of them 😡😡😡😡😡😡).

Introduce yourself with four spaceships. These are all recreations of #StarTrek sets I built in #Blender.

@portalrealm.bsky.social I think I came across one not in your collection here: fleetyard.blogspot.com/2025/07/the-... - I'm going to give that site a thorough look later, wouldn't be surprised to find more hiding around in there. 😉

@joeralat.bsky.social did you ever finish this thing? www.therpf.com/forums/threa...

We’re going all-in with a bilingual organizing blitz to elect Eileen Higgins in the Miami mayoral runoff on December 9. Miami families deserve to have a champion who’ll fight for them and work to lower costs.

Gotta say, Howie Day's Krakatoa model is an absolute joy to play with. Don't think I've ever seen another model you can get this close to right off the bat - I can practically walk right on the hull with this thing! #Blender #B3D #Bforartists #B4A #3Dart #StarTrek #Krakatoa

Gray-haired man in civilian coat runs into flames at Kharkiv kindergarten hit by Russian drones y'day. Emerges with child—pink pants and slippers visible under his jacket. Goes back in. 2 journalists recognized him 👇

People keep asking: “Why peanut butter & jelly?” Simple: Because we all need to stick together… …and we can’t let them turn the entire country into plain white bread.

Peanut Butter and Jelly have my vote for first place! 💙🩵
