One Day, They'll Come For You, As Well
Greetings, comrades of Inclusive Intersectional Compassion.
Let us begin with a resistance-prayer: The State is our community... where we all meet, where we all matter. Social Justice for all!
My name is of no importance. Obviously, my race, sexual preferences, and gender identity are incredibly important; however, the people of 2020 cannot be trusted with such vital information. #GET_WOKE_OR_DIE_BROKE, as we say. Irregardless, I have a message from 5 years in the future. I'm a time traveler from 2025, and wanted to give you a snap-shot of the world.
Congratulations are in order, for our efforts have paid off. Individuality is a sin before Secular Leftism. Whatever your system of beliefs, it must conform to the Collective Will of the Masses or be purged... just as all discriminatory personal property and wealth has been sacrificed upon the altar of Secular Leftism.
Those who've already confessed their sins may continue to live, as long as they are useful to The State. Everyone who has not yet sought forgiveness for past and present sins, as well as future transgressions, have forfeit their contaminated existence. Daily Purity Tests are Mandatory! Proceed to one of the conveniently located self-immolation booths.
For those who seem shocked by this inevitable progression, don't be. As our Collectivist Leaders teach us, terrible beliefs are held by terrible people, but they can be made useful in State Sponsored Work Camps. Please, do not humanize the enemies of The State, unless you want to join them in the gulag.
The nazis held terrible beliefs. Therefore, everyone with terrible beliefs are considered nazis and deemed undeserving of consideration, rights, or even the burden of life. After all, are we not all victims in the eyes of Secular Leftism? Praise be to The State! Since everyone who disagrees with us is nazi scum, there is only agreement, only conformity. The State is an unbreakable monolith - omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent.
Furthermore, the terrorist propaganda of christianity, judaism, satanism, cthulhuism, not-religious-but-spiritual-ism, libertarianism, individualism, capitalism, conservatism, moderation, freedom, jokes, memes, and common sense is no longer allowed in public or private spaces. The State, in its infinite wisdom, has declared these problematic ideologies of racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia to be violent attacks upon Our Great Uniformity.
Only total submission to The State is tolerated. Anything that does not conform must be condemned and destroyed in the People's Square of Mutual Grievances! Failure to pledge public support for Our Shared Values is the equivalent of terrorism, nazism, and white supremacy.
Those of your flawed era still cling to the idea that The State is not god, but in 2025 we know better than you. The State is the only rational substitute for him, in all his toxic patriarchy. In fact, society cannot progress without his destruction. Praise be to The State!
Your comrade of inclusive intersectionality,
A-non
p.s. Bonus! In 2025, we have 100% free Universal Health Care and College. Unfortunately, you're not eligible if you have any demerits. Demerits are earned by saying something offensive, exhibiting problematic behavior, having wrong ideas, or expressions of individuality.

28Mm Italian Wars Papal Guard
It's been a three months since I added to the new Italian Wars Project and after the big push for the Analogue Hobbies Winter Paint Challenge (which the Papal Army won the Challenge Choice Award 😁) my painting output has slowed down dramatically. But after years of painting I know it will come back, I have a new job at work so stress levels are lowering and the figure output is starting to rise again.
Now before the purists have a heart attack, I know this is a later uniform than the Italian Wars, I was lucky enough to see the painting "The Mass at Bolsena" 1514 Raphael, on my trip to the Vatican so I know what that depiction looks like but honestly who can resist the modern blue, yellow and red uniform of the Guard.
So I totally agree it's a bit of a fantasy unit but I bet you it will easily be the most recognisable unit in my army. Just need a 28mm Pope figure for it to Guard now !
The figures are 28mm scale from TAG (The Assault Group) who sell a Papal Guard pack which form the bulk of the unit, I've added some of their Italian Command figures (and a rogue Perry Figure after the new dog ate one of the TAG figures !) To make up the 24 figures of the unit.
The figures are equipped with Polearms and will make a pretty ferocious unit on the table. Flags are as always from Pete's Flags.
Next up for the Italian Wars Project will be a unit of shot whilst I also have some 1/2400 WW1 ships on the go.

TOUCHE: THE ADVENTURES OF THE FIFTH MUSKETEER
A man stumbles into a town at night on his way to a lively tavern. With his pithy one-liners and over-confident swagger, he's travelled a great distance with one ambition; to be a mighty pirate... I mean musketeer! Touche: The Adventures of the Fifth Musketeer (1995, Clipper Software & U.S.Gold) wears its inspiration on its sleeve but the change of location and overall plot does just enough to give it its own identity, and not be a shameless ripoff of The Secret of Monkey Island.

Brave Browser voted the best privacy-focused product of 2019
Out of all the privacy-focused products and apps available on the market, Brave has been voted the best. Other winners of Product Hunt's Golden Kitty awards showed that there was a huge interest in privacy-enhancing products and apps such as chats, maps, and other collaboration tools.
An extremely productive year for Brave
Last year has been a pivotal one for the crypto industry, but few companies managed to see the kind of success Brave did. Almost every day of the year has been packed witch action, as the company managed to officially launch its browser, get its Basic Attention Token out, and onboard hundreds of thousands of verified publishers on its rewards platform.
Luckily, the effort Brave has been putting into its product hasn't gone unnoticed.
The company's revolutionary browser has been voted the best privacy-focused product of 2019, for which it received a Golden Kitty award. The awards, hosted by Product Hunt, were given to the most popular products across 23 different product categories.
Ryan Hoover, the founder of Product Hunt said:
"Our annual Golden Kitty awards celebrate all the great products that makers have launched throughout the year"
Brave's win is important for the company—with this year seeing the most user votes ever, it's a clear indicator of the browser's rapidly rising popularity.
Privacy and blockchain are the strongest forces in tech right now
If reaching 10 million monthly active users in December was Brave's crown achievement, then the Product Hunt award was the cherry on top.
The recognition Brave got from Product Hunt users shows that a market for privacy-focused apps is thriving. All of the apps and products that got a Golden Kitty award from Product Hunt users focused heavily on data protection. Everything from automatic investment apps and remote collaboration tools to smart home products emphasized their privacy.
AI and machine learning rose as another note-worthy trend, but blockchain seemed to be the most dominating force in app development. Blockchain-based messaging apps and maps were hugely popular with Product Hunt users, who seem to value innovation and security.
For those users, Brave is a perfect platform. The company's research and development team has recently debuted its privacy-preserving distributed VPN, which could potentially bring even more security to the user than its already existing Tor extension.
Brave's effort to revolutionize the advertising industry has also been recognized by some of the biggest names in publishing—major publications such as The Washington Post, The Guardian, NDTV, NPR, and Qz have all joined the platform. Some of the highest-ranking websites in the world, including Wikipedia, WikiHow, Vimeo, Internet Archive, and DuckDuckGo, are also among Brave's 390,000 verified publishers.
