In July, Popular Information published an exposé about Amazon’s Prime Day, demonstrating how the retailer deploys deceptive tactics to exaggerate its markdowns. In September, two customers filed a federal class-action lawsuit in Washington against Amazon, citing the same practices.

The state of online media is such a bummer, I sometimes think: who cares? Then, I read something so smart and so funny and so uniquely the product of this compromised but generative space, that I remember: I care! This, by @mckinneykelsey.bsky.social, is a tour de force. defector.com/taylor-swift...

Hair, skin, blade (mascara?) starting to come together on Rumi! The colors and details on these characters really do it for me, every bit of progress is very satisfying 🙏 #MiniaturePainting #kpopdemonhunters

Had some bits left over from a trench build, so made a simple little diorama with a few spare pumpkin heads from @badsquiddogames.bsky.social Nowt fancy, but 'tis nearly the spooky season. #diorama #model #miniatures #halloween #pumpkins #horror #berlintuesdaystudio

What keeps a Brother going? 🤨 #warhammer #40k #Spacemarine

Figuring out what is and is not yellow (and doing some artistic interpretation) on these pants and shoes was quite challenging. Now about a thousand layers of yellow to hammer in the saturation. #MiniaturePainting #kpopdemonhunters

A little progress on my Das Schwarze Auge Tatzelwurm. Still a fair way to go.

I wonder how much of the benefit of "taking a little walk for my mental health" is because of the physical exertion and how much is because of not being able to look at your phone at the same time

i am running for president on a platform of national lie-down lunch. everyone, not just white collar WFH workers, should have the opportunity to lie down on a comfortable mattress or couch on their lunch break and maybe even sneak in a little nap if they want. this should be a universal human right

Painting minis a with a kitten, step one: search the floor for all the things on the hobby desk that inexplicably grew legs since the last paint session

As I was painting yesterday, it felt like the default print of these lost a lot of detail (my printer possibly), and I was thinking about sizing them up. When I noticed Mira's blade had broken off, I took it as a sign. So here are new prints, sized at 150%. #MiniaturePainting #KPopDemonHunters

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Look at that, a finished mini! This is Hans, the killer from the first "tape" you get with the Final Girl starter box, Camp Happy Trails. The initial girls are still in progress, but overall very cool minis. From @vanrydergames.bsky.social #MiniaturePainting #FinalGirl #BoardGames

Working on some demon hunter skin. Taking my time here because painting skin is fun and to try and infuse some subtle pink and purple tones since that palette seems to suffuse the movie. #kpopdemonhunters #MiniaturePainting

The impulse to say that erotica CAN'T say anything of value, that porn MUST be mindless indulgence, is an extension of this problem by the way. Sex and kink are just parts of life. Art that explores both primarily can touch on other subjects meaningfully as well. Stop trying to silo everything.

Hey everyone can you help me find out the artist behind this sticker ? Working on a sticker collection book and I can't remember who did it

An event so monumental it single handedly retires the concept of "don't speak ill of the dead"

My summer (fall?) blood bowl league started yesterday! I didn't play my first match because of travel, but that's ok because my team wasn't ready. Today I finished base coats and got everyone on bases. They aren't done, but they are ready for the first match. #BloodBowl #MiniaturePainting #squigs

Drew this logo for my Squig blood bowl team, the Murder Meatballs, but the software our league uses doesn't allow images without a transparent background. Womp womp. Maybe I'll learn how to do that in some image editing software eventually. #BloodBowl

In #bloodbowl news it's Thrudball this weekend! I'm playing High Elves, like I did last year, because I liked them last year and I feel I have unfinished business with them. Also I like my paint job on them. Models from Ugni, painted in my old college colours of red and black.

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

While I reserve the right to add further embellishments at some point, I'm happy calling this DM screen from Fate's End miniatures done! Fun doing a big piece of practical terrain like this, hopefully it will preside over many adventures. #MiniaturePainting #dnd

Skull freehand, no reference? Needs a little work 🙃

This beholder from Artisan Guild was a ton of fun, I may need to paint the rest of this set 🧿 #miniatures #minipainting #art #painting #3dprinting #d&d #warhammer

Done! Now to set up the lightbox... #bloodbowl #nerdlings #elves (These straight lines brought to you by the valiant sacrifice of a chocobo kick)

Mostly quick bursts of hobby time lately, so I've been working on quicker things that will be good for d&d: guards, chests, tables. Here is some quick skin for the warrior from hero quest. #MiniaturePainting #wip #HeroQuest #dnd

It is still technically executive dysfunction if you're pretty sure your brain is doing it as revenge for the type of work you're doing?

We have a crested gecko now! Remember when I said the hermit crab was a slippery slope? No? Well he we are. He's very handsome though 😍
