Now up in the Shapeways store, we have the Cybercube Sword, inspired by the swords used by Optimus Prime and other Transformers in the G.i.Joe Vs The Transformers comic series from IDW, by Tom Scioli.
This item is available in a variety of materials (including real metal!) in four sizes, a 3mm size scaled to legion-scale transformers, a 4mm version scaled to most 5.5″-6″ action figures, including MOTU, Marvel Legends, and others, a 5mm scaled for scout, deluxe and voyager Transformers figures and a lager-bladed version with a 5mm grip for ultra and leader-scale transformers
THIS. So hard.
We’re at the lowest tax rate in history for the wealthy and they just got a trillion more dollars last year in bonuses.
If you aren’t a millionaire or close to it, you should be wondering why taxes aren’t closer to 94% on that high bracket for the wealthy. You know, like it was in the golden years of the 50s all these rich white people dream of.
Hold, I’ve been told all my life that tax brackets work the other way. That if you aren’t careful you can get a raise or whatever that puts you in a new tax bracket so you actually lose money. I have a friend with a computer programming hubby who makes a lot of money, who told her that if she gets a job it’ll put them into the next tax bracket and they’d lose money unless she was making over 60k a year.
I’m gonna be pissed if that’s not how it works, cause her self-esteem has been tanked since she feels trapped at home while her hubby brings in all the money
“Oh, so you wanna use pronouns, asshole? Want me to respect your wittle pronouns? Oh, I’ll use your pronouns, buddy. Just you watch.” *respects my pronouns*
Fuckin’ owned, I guess, dude. Shit.
They isn’t a pronoun. He or she is.
”He”, “she”, “they”, and “it” are third-person personal pronouns.
A pronoun is simply a word that acts as a substitute for another, more specific noun or phrase. There are eight different types of pronouns: indefinite, demonstrative, reflexive, intensive, possessive, interrogative, reciprocal, and personal. A personal pronoun stands in place of a person’s name or title - “I” and “you” are personal pronouns in the first and second person, respectively. “Nobody” and “something” are singular indefinite pronouns.
“They” is absolutely a pronoun. If you are going to criticize strangers for the words they use to refer to themselves, at least have some idea what you are talking about. I sincerely doubt that whatever opinions you may have about “they” as a singular third-person personal pronoun are based upon a well-informed understanding of grammar.
Re-reblog with some extra notes because a lot of people are just like ‘we’re all fucked/we’re gonna die’.
Listen, not all food is equally as contaminable. Some small notes are stay away from delicate greens because they grow on thre ground where the poop is but cannot stand up to rigorous washing OR cooking, which is why stuff like romaine lettuce and baby spinach is a problem.
All other veggies can and should be thoroughly washed, and if you eat a lot of raw veg and want to be safe- cook it. People have shit on cooking food lately with all the raw vegan hype but guess why we humans started to do it? Two main reasons, one is increased nutrient absorption, the other is you don’t get the shits and die as often from cooked food.
Also, meat is not your friend right now. If you are used to eating meat, I would avoid it and switch to eggs, which are sealed and even if the outsides came from a chicken’s ass, the inside is safe. Fish also tends to be cleaner and is always less at risk of pathogens than farm meat but again, be careful.
This is survivable, if it wasn’t there’d be no point to warning you. Y'all will not survive what’s coming if you see every bit of news as proof of your doom.
Forewarned is forearmed. Be safe, be sharp, be helpful.

A group of children broke into a radio station in Western Australia’s remote Kimberley region and put themselves live on air for an impromptu late-night show full of swearing.
The first police knew of it was a phone call from a listener, concerned at swear words being broadcast.
Station manager Angie Stahl says she had previously given the children lessons in community radio, and they worked out how to make the studio go live.
“But unfortunately their show mainly involved swearing, which was a bit punk, a bit avant-garde, but also breaches the broadcasting laws, and our codes of practice.
“So the cops got a call from an outlaying station ringing up to say, ‘I think you’ve got some kids on the radio, they’re busy swearing, you’d better go bust them’.”
Ms Stahl said the children appear to have entered through a window in her house, which adjoins the studios.
While in the house they ate some chicken nuggets and dyed their hair.
Not long after going on-air with their expletive-ridden jokes, police officers arrived to put a stop to the radio broadcast.
Ms Stahl said the children may have a future in broadcasting.
“They’d come in a couple of times before to do a couple of shows and programs, so I’d taught them the basics,” she said.
“So it’s good to see the knowledge was used correctly.”

A debate is raging across Canada about whether the RCMP committed an injustice against the Wet’suwet’en peoples by going into their Unist’ot’en camp in northern British Columbia, arresting 14 people and demolishing structures.
The Wet’suwet’en were defending their land against the development of the Coastal GasLink natural gas pipeline.
The people defending the land are comprised of Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs and their people, who want to ensure that their lands are protected so they can continue to practise their rights to hunting, fishing, trapping and gathering, and exercise their right to clean air and water and a healthy environment. Pipelines, they say, are a threat to these rights that the Wet’suwet’en people value.
Neither the elected chief and band councils that support the pipeline, nor the federal or provincial governments, nor Coastal GasLink ever obtained the consent of the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs and their supporters. And that’s what’s at issue here.
As with most lands in British Columbia, aboriginal title exists on the Wet’suwet’en lands in question. And based on this title, they have the right to defend their lands from development that will adversely affect them. The Wet’suwet’en were never defeated in a war, never surrendered their lands and never entered into a treaty.
Danny is so worried and paranoid about someone finding out his secret that Jazz tells him to make a list of all the ways he could be found out as a kind of therapeutic exercise.
The list includes such entries as:
I didn’t check the bathroom properly and someone was there.
Security cameras.
Security cameras and Technus.
Mom and Dad catch me.
Photoshop.
Someone actually believes Wes.
Cujo comes up to me while I’m in human form and Valerie is there.
The GIW become competent.
I accidentally walk into the house in ghost form.
Someone actually believes Wes.
I loose my ghost form in the middle of a fight.
Vlad tells somebody.
Hiccups. (No other explanation.)
I sneeze and ice comes out.
Anything in a health class where we have to measure ourselves.
Dash and Kwan put weights in my bag again and I don’t notice.
There’s an unannounced locker search at school and they find my weapons, syringes of ectoplasm, dangerous chemicals, ghost artifacts, and/or anything else that I might have in my locker.
I fumble my phone and accidentally start a blog.
Mom and Dad make something that can read minds.
My powers act up and I wind up invisible or in the floor or something.
Someone actually believes Wes.
I get so surprised that I transform.
I forget to talk about myself in the third person.
Someone says something so dumb about ghosts that I have to correct them.
There’s construction on the school and they find the stuff I’ve hidden in the walls.
Dad blasts a wall that I’ve hidden stuff in.
The list goes on and on. Jazz says that he should burn it once he’s finished it, and that’s it’s supposed to be cathartic, but he can’t finish it all in one sitting, so he hides the unfinished list in his sock drawer.
