Spirit & Rain Breyer Figures. I didn't plan on getting these versions, but they happened to be in a lot of cheap Breyer figures I was eyeing. I like them a lot more now that I'm seeing them in person 💕
Pleasantly surprised Breyer's new premium release refers to the breed as just the Vanner and says Irish and Romani Travellers! Hopefully this pushes the renaming movement further
It's been the better part of two years since I made my last real-wing pegasus, so this one's well overdue! Not only does this Breyer Gem Twist have a flashy new pinto paint job and mohair mane and tail, but he sports real pasture-raised chicken wings. He's available at https://www.etsy.com/listing/1513075083/aerus-custom-breyer-gem-twist-to
A federal judge on Monday threw out a lawsuit by Elon Musk’s X that had targeted a watchdog group for its critical reports about hate speech on the social media platform.
In a blistering 52-page order, the judge blasted X’s case as plainly punitive rather than about protecting the platform’s security and legal rights.
“Sometimes it is unclear what is driving a litigation,” wrote District Judge Charles Breyer, of the US District Court for the Northern District of California, in the order’s opening lines. “Other times, a complaint is so unabashedly and vociferously about one thing that there can be no mistaking that purpose.”
“This case represents the latter circumstance,” Breyer continued. “This case is about punishing the Defendants for their speech.”
X’s lawsuit had accused the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) of violating the company’s terms of service when it studied, and then wrote about, hate speech on the platform following Musk’s takeover of Twitter in October 2022. X has blamed CCDH’s reports, which showcase the prevalence of hate speech on the platform, for amplifying brand safety concerns and driving advertisers away from the site.
In the suit, X claimed that it had suffered tens of millions of dollars in damages from CCDH’s publications. CCDH is an international non-profit with offices in the UK and US.
Because of its potential to destroy the watchdog group, the case has been widely viewed as a bellwether for research and accountability on X as Musk has welcomed back prominent white supremacists and others to the platform who had previously been suspended when the platform was still a publicly-traded company called Twitter.
Lemme tell you about a horse. And Sherlock Holmes.
As you know, I'm a big fan of the 1984 Granada Sherlock Holmes series and I've watched it through a couple of times now. But I'm also a horse person, and so naturally, I took note of the horses used for filming. They obviously had a limited pool of horses to use so many of them appear and reappear throughout the series. But one horse caught my eye. She was a beautiful chunky little chestnut mare (I think) and she was EVERYWHERE. Right through from season one until The Master Blackmailer, which I believe was her final appearance, there are very few episodes where her face doesn't appear. And when I say she was everywhere I really do mean it. She appeared so often and in so many places that it became a joke between @lyracalmuse and I that she was the mastermind behind every crime Holmes investigated, because there was no reason for her to be present at so many otherwise.
So she gained the nickname, Mareiarty, the Marengo of Crime.
For some reason I couldn't get her out of my head. I wanted to make her so badly. So now I am.
Here's the picture I'm using for the reference for her pose. I picked it because I like the bunched up energy and want to try and capture it. My reference document for her is over 70 pages long, all screencaps from the show where she appears. She's kind of taken over my brain, I can only assume with malicious intent.
might be late to the party but if you're rating breyer customs here's one i did recently! (my first attempt at it might i add)
Rating: ƱƱƱƱƱ (perfect)
I am most impressed by your attention to detail particularly the freckling on the pink skin and the splotches on the legs where they transition into dark points. You clearly have an eye for a horse which is the most admirable trait I could imagine
