Inspired by that Dune post.
[...] the outcome will be a site where the Stasi will drive out all dissent.
Would make twitter worth using, so it will never happen.
(CW: Suicide) Even if we were to assume it was a suicide, it'd be because of the stress from having to deal with Boeing. It's safe to say they killed him regardless of who pulled the trigger.
I don't know about that, this Uncommitted person seems to be making waves. Shame they couldn't get on all the ballots.
What the fuck even is their ideology?
Fascism with free healthcare characteristics
This was a bit idea we bandied about in 2020.
Well obviously there's no way the communists are going to win so you might as well throw your vote away! A vote for Thalmann is a vote for Hitler!
Never you mind that a vote for Hindenburg is also a vote for Hitler.
Holy shit, why would you do this. Neoliberals are the stupidest people on the planet. "Oh well we have to sell it off because it's not profitable enough!" sure am glad this won't cause the price of helium to surge resulting in a hike in MRI costs.
He fulfilled his most important promise: that nothing would fundamentally change. Now get out there and 
"You personally? No, you work for the NYT."
Counterpoint to this article: what if we just killed all landlords, developers, and authors of this article, then redistributed their wealth evenly?

Any suggestions for shoes that'll actually last a while?

Title. Just for walking around. Looking for something waterproof so I can wear them in rain or maybe light snow.
Last time I bought some new balance sneakers and they're full of cracks and tearing apart at the seams after a little over a year. I hate that everything is designed to fail immediately

Only 4p, sadly, because one guy dropped out to go on a date (valid, but incorrect). Rather short game, ending on turn 5, after ~6 hours (with meal break). Disregard the flipped over objective cards, we just wanted to see what they were post-game.
HS1 is Sol, HS2 is Xxcha, HS3 is Hacan, HS4 is Ghosts of Creuss:
Winner was the Federation of Sol, played by yours truly, because the others more or less forced me onto Mecatol Rex and once in position my ability to drop in infantry squads made me impossible to shift. Also got very lucky with my secret objectives lining up with the publics (2 unit upgrades + 2 faction upgrades, which are the same for Sol, and own 4 planets of any color + own 4 Blue). They let me score Imperial twice which is way too many. Nobody made an attempt to dislodge me until Turn 5, too worried they'd be backstabbed, which, in fairness, was probably accurate for every player but the Xxcha. EDIT: Sol has a rep as being overpowered, so we nerfed it by reducing its starting fleet by 1 carrier. This did not seem to be enough, and it is now on the ban list, along with Jol-Nar.
Ghosts in second with 7 points because both other players gave him Support points in exchange for him suiciding into my invincible army on Mec Rex (not knowing that the game was already over unless they took my home system). This player is generally the weakest in the group, and failed to secure their slice until way too late, leaving them with little to do.
Hacan and Xxcha in third with 4 apiece. Hacan didn't really do much interesting, just spent infinite money to build up a giant fleet but that was no help with invasions, and was too late anyway. Xxcha built a fucking wall of PDS (6 total in a ring around Mec Rex, plus the flagship for 8), which prevented me from reinforcing with ships, but I think made taking it too dangerous for anyone else to consider. He also really fucked over Hacan early, blocking his movement with a cruiser move T1 onto tile 27.

This zoomed, in it's pretty easy to tell that all the fabric needs more blending, but this was a nice break from the rest of my army's usual white and grey-blue color scheme. Sadly some of her fingers on the right hand snapped off in transit and I was never able to reattach them. Even so, I'm generally proud of this one.
Base is transparent crackle paint over a blue basecoat, then drybrushed with grey->white grey->white to get an icy look.
RIP Astropaths ever being used in 10th, Nightshroud was too funny against Custodes. Mini is Astro Witch, by Victoria Miniatures.

Space Tank

Technically it was done a while ago, but now there's a comm for it! The hull gun on the front is magnetized and can be swapped out for a laser, and the sides are magnetized as well so I can put sponsons on if I ever get around to having some 3d printed. The turret-hull connection is just a giant circular hole so it pops off real easy and I have taken to blu-tacking it in place for transport/games.
The actual name for the model is "Mars Alpha Leman Russ Incinerator", and I run it as an Executioner in 40k.
Behold, the warm glowing warming glow of the turret gun (which I'm still not really happy with even after like 10 revisions):
The last thing space fascists see before being run over:
