HOLY FUCK SABBAT-CENTRIC VTM GAME. UNFOLLOW ME RIGHT FUCKING NOW THIS IS THE ONLY THING I WILL BE THINKING ABOUT FOREVERMORE

A small sculpture, now possibly, maybe, probably finished. My first plan was to make it much lighter and more grey with blue-green tones on top and brown spots along the sides from below, sort of. But a lot of the things I do end up in a brown-beige-grey kind of colour scheme so I'll try to keep my hands away from this very blue thing.

After all, I'll make more faces and add more papier-maché to them. I want to make more like this in different versions, with different expressions and different pointy things sticking out.

The thing is made out of stoneware clay but with a kind of papier-maché built on, easily seen on photo number 1. It attaches very well to the clay and allows me to play with the different materials in different ways. Which is nice. I like it.

The whole thing then painted with acrylics which feels like cheating when there's clay involved but really doesn't have to be. As long as it's not supposed to be food safe it doesn't matter.

I kinda like the wip photo though. One of the future heads I make has to have a light, beige colour scheme.

Nasty and sophisticated scam: BEWARE of this!

That "Pending PayPal Charge" Email Is a Scam — Even Though It Really Came From PayPal

If an email recently landed in your inbox with a subject line like "Pending charge of USD 987.90 for account activation. Questions? Call 855

Don’t get caught off guard by this. It’s quite a slick one.

[kerryweaverlesbian]

What to actually do If you get one of these, the answer is boring and it works every time: Don't call the number. Don't reply. Don't click links in the email — not even the unsubscribe link. Open a fresh browser tab, type paypal.com yourself, and log into your account. Check your activity. You'll see either nothing, or a tiny incoming payment from a stranger that you can ignore. Then forward the original email as an attachment to [email protected] and delete it. If you want to go a step further, report the phone number to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov — every report makes it slightly harder for these operations to keep running. And if you've already called? Don't beat yourself up — these scams are designed by professionals to fool smart people. Hang up, run a malware scan if you installed anything they asked you to install, change your PayPal and bank passwords from a different device, and call your bank's real fraud line (the number on the back of your card) to flag your accounts. Move fast, but you don't need to panic.

from the above linked article. For the UK the email to forward phishing scams to is [email protected], texts can be forwarded on to 7726 (for free!) and as a victim of fraud you can report it here (or here for Scotland)

— If an email recently landed in your inbox with a subject line like "Pending charge of USD 987.90 for account activation. Questions? Call [phone]" — don't call that number. Don't click anything. And whatever you do, don't panic-dial to "stop the charge."

You're being targeted by one of the cleverest scams going right now, and the reason it works is uncomfortable: the email genuinely came from PayPal.

The trick is in the subject line, not the email

When most people think "phishing email," they picture sketchy senders, broken English, and links to weird domains. This scam is the opposite. The email passes every authenticity check — SPF, DKIM, DMARC, all green. It comes from PayPal's actual mail servers. The fonts are right. The footer is right. The unsubscribe link works. If you forwarded it to a security expert and asked "is this really from PayPal?" they'd have to say yes.

So how is it a scam?

Scammers have figured out that PayPal lets anyone send small amounts of money to anyone else, and that PayPal will dutifully email the recipient a notification. The scammer sends you a payout of, say, one Hungarian forint — about a quarter of a cent. PayPal's system then automatically generates and sends you a real, legitimate, fully-authenticated email confirming the transaction.

Here's the catch: the email's subject line is whatever the scammer typed when they set up the payout. PayPal doesn't sanitize it. So they write something terrifying like "Pending charge of USD 987.90 — call this number with questions" and PayPal's servers cheerfully deliver that subject line straight to your inbox, wrapped in a perfectly legitimate-looking notification.

The actual transaction in the email body is for 1 forint. There is no $987.90 charge. There never was. But by the time most people read carefully enough to notice that, they've already dialed the number. —

Hey Albertans, bad news. The entire list of electors (people eligible to vote) in Alberta was given, through a political party called the Republican Party of Alberta, to a pro-“sovereignty” group called the Centurion Project who then created a publicly available, searchable database of the whole thing.

This means every adult who is eligible to vote in Alberta has had the following information leaked: first names, middle names, surnames, addresses, postal codes, telephone numbers, unique identifier numbers, electoral divisions and voting areas.

Elections Alberta got an emergency injunction to have the website taken down but the horse is out of the barn, our information is out there now.

This is a breaking news story so I’m sure more details will be coming but in the meantime please be EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS about anyone who contacts you and seems to have information about you that may make them seem like legitimate government or banking officials.

The implications for anyone who has an Emergency Protection Order, stalker, or sensitive professional or public profile are terrifying. Please reach out to your supports and do whatever you need to do to stay safe.

ttrpg games are insane and make you insane in ways that are fundamental and irreparable. sometimes the best piece of fiction you will ever experience will happen to you and your friends over two to five years of your life. it will be your work and their work and yet somehow exist between and beyond you all. there will only be like three or five of you in the room and nobody else will ever be able to experience this in the way you did. it will be ephemeral and immediate and it will occasionally make you feel so bad you see hell. fuck. what a concept

The Eiffel Tower gets slightly bigger every year. That's because it's alive and slowly absorbing the girders and I-beams from the other buildings in the city. The French government didn't want to alarm its citizens, so they made up a story about it being built by an architect, but that's not what happened at all. In fact, despite its name, the Eiffel Tower isn't really a tower at all.

Time for another LoK fanart :>

[fishprophets]

got really into drawing themed food at some point. here's something for my favorite ambition

commentary below the cut (spoilers)

the cake is a medovik, a type of honey cake. the reference here should be obvious. this one also has seven layers

flavorwise the honey and sour cream is completemented by blackberry jam, totally not symbolic of the blood of your loved one

the purple shards are edible sugar glass. they represent knifegate and the mirror you repair. there's also edible petals because that's the clue you pursue at the very start of the ambition

the knife is a sky/ravenglass knife but like. normal and for cake. i toned down the color to be closer to rl obsidian

the plate is silver. i couldn't be bothered adding engravings to it. it'd be something floral
