@Lilblueorchid@_AgentRose_ I also got too used to caspward as a ship name in the year I've known DS, it sounds so awkward, it grew on me... (thanks Claire) but I love seeing what the fandom is coming up with !
Happy Dragon Striker Release day!!! ✨✨✨
I will forever be grateful and honored to have worked on this show. In many ways, I also have grown up along the ride. Hope you will enjoy it too! 🥹

@Carl_Nwakakwa@dannstacks@IncFan2004 animator here. if a show gets leaked, it's getting canceled by the higher ups because profits are done for at this point. if there's no second season, then there is nothing to work on, and animators are let go and lose their income.
Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

This is exactly what "trust the science" looks like. Scientists updated the worst-case scenario because real-world emissions are tracking below RCP8.5's 2010-era assumptions of runaway coal expansion, primarily because wind and solar got cheap and climate policy started bending the curve. The new CMIP7 HIGH scenario published in Geoscientific Model Development still projects roughly 3°C of warming by 2100, twice the Paris target and a temperature Earth has not seen in roughly 3 million years.
The position being celebrated here amounts to: the climate policies worked well enough to retire the worst-case scenario, therefore we should kill the climate policies. That is hearing the smoke alarm shut off and concluding the fire department was a hoax.
Mossad booby‑trapped 21,000 communication devices with explosives, sent them to Lebanon through shell companies, and detonated them remotely — killing dozens (including children) and injuring over 3,400.
• The devices exploded in people's hands, on their faces, and in their pockets.
• They did it over two consecutive days.
• On day two, the explosives went off while Lebanese families were at the funerals of those killed the day before.
• The attack inflicted roughly 3,000 injuries in a single hour on the first day alone.
This terrorist attack was the largest simultaneous mass‑detonation in history by the number of individual bombs.
'israelis' joke about it to this day.
If you didn't boycott Apple for the Congo, boycott it now.
Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.
There is no theory about the problem of ocean acidification. It is called the evil twin of climate change, evil because the consequences will be far more serious.
We passed the ocean pH tipping point 5 years ago; in 15 years we will reach the end point and lose most of the fish, whales, seals, birds and food supply for 3 billion people. In addition, the primary mechanism that regulates the climate and life support system for the planet will be destroyed.
The above series of events are also stated by the IPCC with a very high degree of confidence (100%), its going to happen, yet it is almost completely ignored. Via Howard Dryden
FYI, this isn't new. It's a clip from 2023. But WHAT IS NEW and you've likely not heard yet, is that the Israeli Knessset recently passed a bill in a preliminary vote 56-47 to make praying to Christ at the Western Wall a crime with a 7-year prison sentence.
And get this: praying to Jesus would be labeled "desecration" and subject to the new penalty because the Talmud and Rabbinic teaching label Christianity as idolatry. But Rabbinic tradition does NOT label Islam as idolatry, so it would likely fall through a loophole in the law (they consider it Monotheistic, but Christianity, polytheistic). They'd be allowed, if they do so without making much of a scene.
Also banned from praying under the new desecration law...? Women.
Israel is the shining example of a Western liberal democracy, right? Lol, no. It isn't.
It’s nukes. He’s gonna use nukes. It’ll do very little to actually affect Irans dispersed tactical functionality. But It’ll shatter every international alliance and break tabooos. It’ll be a humanitarian catastrophe. Russia and China will be forced to take a stand
“lsraelis are fleeing Tel Aviv.” Imagine if all the borders were shut and they were told to go north. No, south. No, north. No, south. By foot. Carrying all their belongings. Carrying their children. While dodging snipers. As 2000lb bunker bombs were dropping. Since 1948.
reading the epstein emails shifted my politics. my prior assumption was that the ruling class was malevolent but also selfish, often working at cross-purposes.
the epstein emails show a high degree of unity among the ruling class, vindicating the marxist view of class politics.
Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.
