Not Politics As Usual

Michelle Obama  issued a powerful rebuke of  Donald Trump  on Thursday, calling on men and women alike to reject his "intolerable" misogyny and his boasting about being able to sexually assault women because he is famous. "Too many are treating this as just another day's headline, as if our outrage is overblown or unwarranted, as if this is normal — just politics as usual," the first lady said during a rally in New Hampshire, referring to Trump's 2005 words of being about to grab women "by the pussy" and kiss them against their will. "But New Hampshire, let's be clear, this is not normal. This is not politics as usual. This is disgraceful. It is intolerable — it doesn't matter what party you belong to, no woman deserves to be treated this way." -------- I am not a fan of Republican policy proposals, but Trump goes beyond politics. He's the grotesque boss we have all had, the child in adult's clothes, the man who ...

So Many Chariots

ALLRIGHT Ladies and Gentlemen it's the TOTALLY ACCURATE BATTLE SIMULATOR brought to you by "Baron Von Let's Play", who sounds like a younger, perkier Homer Simpson, featuring floppy Poser People engaged in cartoon violence. J watches this occasionally, so I hear it, rather than see it, and the narration is the best part. Of course the fact that the Totally Accurate Battle Simulator is anything but, helps make it funny, and the simulations include options for Chicken Men (who seem to poop chickens, which fly up and attack people, and the Chicken Man Man, who drops Chicken Men in a sort of meta chicken nightmare. ) The simulator only lets you set up the troops, using a set number of coins to "hire" men and weapons, and then once you have arranged them you have to just let the simulation take it's goofy, gory course. It is, alas, accurate in that if you place archers or musketmen behind a front line-- you will lose most of your forward troops to friendly...

Dollshe New Body

Image
Ok, so if you are not at work, you can go see the non-covered image here . It is quite NSFW, especially the first guy in line, who looks like a mistake of nature, to be honest. I'm not sure if this is even a "real" body or just a proposed one--when I had a Phillipe Grant, he was a pretty large guy but he wasn't..curvy, or detachable. The second guy is the new Leonardo DiCaprio that Mr. Dollshe has been working on for a while, he looks nice--very proportionate, maybe a little slimmer in the legs than I would personally want, but a nice sculpt. I don't recognize his anxious but rather cute neighbor, but his body reminds me a bit of the Granado Lads body. On the far right is (I think) Rey Lewis..and he looks the most realistic, IMO. Also you can get pants on him and you don't have to detach anything :o

My Mechanic's Junk Pile

Image
I had to go over to my local garage to take the truck in for a redo of the grease in the differential (at least, that is the plan, the truck makes an amazing CLUNK noise and there is a service bulletin about it). Behind the garage there was an awesome pile of rusty mufflers and wires; so I took a photo, and you can see the stuff on the right side of the painting. ;)

Luts Kappa

Image
I almost never go look at Luts--they have mostly smaller dolls, and the larger dolls don't quite fit my aesthetic, though I like them. But I happened to see this guy in a banner ad and I thought it was so cute..the leaf lifts off to show a little bald spot, presumably where the bowl is that would hold the swamp water that keeps the Kappa going, and his disguise as a duck lifts off so you can see the little adorable face underneath. Apparently he is living with a Zuzu Delf kitten in a well-kept Japanese house. This is a very respectable Kappa; I am guessing his stick with a loop is to catch frogs? He is of course on the no-go list, as a Tiny, but I think he is just the cutest.
