I don’t have Disney+ and haven’t seen “The Mandalorian” and don’t have $350 to throw around on a toy. And yet….

Star Wars The Vintage Collection Razor Crest

Hasbro is crowdfunding the development of a thirty-inch long 1/18 scale replica of the Razor Crest. It seems to currently exist only as a computer model, but even so it looks friggen spectacular. They want 6,000 backers by November 9; as of this writing they have 3,257. I have little doubt that they’ll blow right past that goal, since the crowdfunding effort seems to have started just a few hours ago.

There’s a better version of this video at the Hasbro link above, but this seems to be the best embeddable YouTube version currently available:

Nothing to worry about at all.

Revised Statement Of U.S. Attorney Freed On Inquiry Into Reports Of Potential Issues With Mail-In Ballots

At this point we can confirm that a small number of military ballots were discarded. Investigators have recovered nine ballots at this time. Some of those ballots can be attributed to specific voters and some cannot. Of the nine ballots that were discarded and then recovered, 7 were cast for presidential candidate Donald Trump. Two of the discarded ballots had been resealed inside their appropriate envelopes by Luzerne elections staff prior to recovery by the FBI and the contents of those 2 ballots are unknown.

Sure, it’s only 9 ballots. The fact that seven of the nine – and possibly eight, and possibly nine – just happen to be for Trump? Pure random chance. Nothing to worry about. Move along, citizen, nothing to see here.

The USPS is *clearly* secure. It’s safe to send your votes through the mail. Hell, mail your babies! It’s that safe!

Or at least try to:

Police: Suspected arson levels garage at home with ‘Trump 2020’ flags

The Minneapolis house had Trump flags, and so it was vandalized with graffitti. And then the garage was set on fire and totaled, destroying the three vehicles within and causing some damage to the house itself. The homeowners were home, since this was around 4AM; rescued were a 2-year-old son and a five-month-old daughter and several dogs. Seems likely to me that the hour was chosen so that the homeowners would be asleep and thus slower to react and thus more likely to die. Interestingly, the FBI and BATFE are investigating.

The way the world is, the option remains open that the homeowners themselves did this. But given the location and just how insane the fascist-wannabees on the left are these days, it’s more likely to be just what it looks like: attempted multiple murder for political reasons. And thus the very definition of a “hate crime” and terrorism all wrapped up in one act.

Recently sold on eBay (but not to me, I got beat out) was a piece of concept art of the “Colossal Guppy,” a proposal by Aero Spacelines to convert a B-52 into a Saturn S-II carrier. All of the artwork I’ve seen before has shown a 12-engine design; this eBay art shows only the original 8 engines that were fitted to the B-52. I would assume that this is an earlier iteration of the concept, but can’t say for certain.

I dunno, I wonder if we nuked Japan a little too hard. Their obsession with humanoid giant robots is just confounding, when in reality such devices would get wiped out in a heartbeat by an air force with the same level of power and materials science technologies. Still, I guess this is cool enough, even though the most important question remains unanswered.

‘Defund the police’ activist Alyssa Milano calls 911 sparking massive police presence in her quiet California neighborhood claiming an armed an gunman was on her property – but it was really a teen shooting at squirrels with an air gun

Amazing how quickly the “ACAB” goobers are to call the cops when the slightest little thing triggers them.
