Athena hat wieder zugeschlagen – und zwar mit Stil!

Wer dachte, sie hätte schon alles im Kleiderschrank, wird jetzt eines Besseren belehrt. BK-Mode hat frischen Nachschub geliefert, und Athena trägt ihn mit der Selbstverständlichkeit einer Göttin, die gerade aus dem Fashion-Olymp gestolpert ist.

Ob für den Laufsteg, die Tanzfläche oder den nächsten dramatischen Auftritt im virtuellen Wohnzimmer – diese Outfits sind bereit. Und Athena? Die ist schon einen Schritt voraus.

Jetzt neu im Shop – aber Vorsicht:
Wer reinschaut, könnte plötzlich das Bedürfnis verspüren, seinen Avatar komplett neu zu erfinden.

In the long distant past, my commentary on current events would be published by the local papers. In the somewhat more recent past, I would have posted this on Google Plus, where I had 10,000+ followers (most of them were, admittedly, fake Russian accounts). I don’t have quite the reach now on the few social media accounts I use. So I’m posting here, among mostly friends, while I decide how and where-else to post this on-line. Feel free to pass this along in whatever fashion you like.

The Execution of Alex Jeffrey Pretti 

The man fatally shot by Border Patrol agents in the morning of Saturday, January 24th in Minneapolis was Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a U.S. citizen with no criminal record. Mr. Pretti, who was 37, was a registered nurse who worked in the intensive-care unit at the Veterans Affairs hospital. According to friends, he wanted to be a ‘force of good in the world.’ He was, but can be no longer. He was not just shot by Border Patrol agents. He was executed.

Almost immediately after agents shot Mr. Pretti, federal officials claimed that he had endangered agents with a gun he was carrying, and some later accused him of “domestic terrorism.” But videos on social media that were verified by The New York Times appear to contradict portions of the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting. But let’s not, for the moment, debate about why the shooting happened. It happened. And what happened after is what made this not just a shooting. It was an execution.

Border Patrol agents threw Mr. Pretti to the ground and, within seconds, four or five agents started shooting him. Ten shots were fired. Afterwards, when agents could have been rendering first aid, they appeared to be inspecting the body, counting the number of bullet wounds. Like you might count the number of hits on a target at the shooting range.

There were five or more bullet wounds, three of them to his back.

A doctor on the scene told an agent that they were a physician and asked to check Mr. Pretti. He was initially refused, but eventually allowed to go to Mr. Pretti after being patted down. “Normally, I would not have been so persistent,” the doctor said in their statement, “but as a physician, I felt a professional and moral obligation to help this man, especially since none of the agents were helping him.”

Law enforcement officers are generally expected to render first aid after a shooting once the scene is safe and the threat has been neutralized. This expectation is rooted in federal policies, state laws, and professional standards. Once a person is incapacitated or arrested, they are considered to be in the officer's care, making the officer responsible for their safety and treatment. But the agents were not rendering first aid. And when the doctor asked if Mr. Pretti had a pulse, the agents allegedly stated they did not know.

The agents did not take Mr. Pretti’s pulse. They hadn’t applied first aid. Rendering first aid is what you do after a shooting. It’s not what you do after an execution.

This mirrors a similar shooting on January 7, 2026, involving Renée Good, where a doctor was recorded asking to check the victim's pulse. The doctor was initially told "No." The agent said "I don't care."

We do care. We should care. We should do something to stop the shootings and the deliberate indifference of federal agents.

We should do something to stop the executions.

Überarbeitete Sound Vendoren in der "Sound Machine"

Nachdem die Original Sound Vendoren, die ich vor ein paar Jahren von einem Freund geschenkt bekommen habe, die dumme Angewohnheit hatten, die Scriptengine zu triggern, mit dem Ergebnis, dass die Skripte regelmäßig versagt haben, habe ich mich endlich dran gemacht, die Vendoren auszutauschen.
Sie sind vielleicht nicht mehr so schick wie die alten, dafür laufen die Skripte jetzt aber ohne Gemecker...
Und wo ich gleich am Überarbeiten war, habe ich gleich noch einige neue Sounds dazu gepackt... :)
* * * * *
Revised sound vendors in the “Sound Machine”

After the original sound vendors, which I received from a friend a few years ago, had the annoying habit of triggering the script engine, resulting in the scripts regularly failing, I finally got around to replacing the vendors.
They may not be as fancy as the old ones, but now the scripts run without any problems...
And while I was revising them, I added a few new sounds... :)

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
From everyone here on the GENESIS ROLEPLAY GRID to everyone in OPENSIM, may you know the blessings of God's love and the joy of His Salvation now and throughout the coming year!
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Done deal! Luna's star has been ordered! Just awaiting the coordinates, but maybe we wont know until Luna's rl family has been shipped the rl materials. Thank you to all who donated! i will be ending the fundraiser now, more details will follow.

Die Tage werden kürzer und das Jahr neigt sich dem Ende zu. Wir wünschen Euch eine friedliche Weihnachtszeit im Kreise Eurer Lieben. Mögt ihr Momente der Ruhe finden, um neue Energie zu tanken und sich auf das kommende Jahr vorzubereiten.
As the days grow shorter and the year comes to a close, we wish you a peaceful holiday season surrounded by your loved ones. May you find moments of stillness to recharge and prepare for the year ahead."

Our dear Luna Lunaria has passed. Rather than only mourn her, which we all do in our own ways, let us band together and show Luna's real life family...just how much she meant to us.

To some, perhaps Luna was a character from one of her rl human creator's stories. To most of us, she was much, much more. It is with a heavy heart that I have shouldered the responsibility as one of her many friends, to setup a GoFundMe for an idea i had: to name an actual star (or multiple stars different names from her stories or rl family), depending on how well this goes. If you like this idea, please find it in your heart to contribute to a worthy cause! https://gofund.me/60f7d925d

Not one thin penny will go to anything not Luna related, with the main goal being at least an "ultimate" star package from the international star registry. All pertinent information is listed in the interest of transparency. If we exceed the $200 goal, additional items or a bigger package may be purchased. I will be working with Lone Wolf on this, and any real life items to be mailed, will be sent discreetly and privately to Luna's real life family, pending their approval. For now, let's just get this ball rolling and see how much this OpenSim community loves and embraces her. She inspired us and gave us so much. Let us give back. Seriously, if you can spare only a buck, 1 dollar of your native currency, 25 cents, whatever it may be, it all comes from the heart. You are not required for your real name or any info to be publicly disclosed if you donate, so keep that in mind, friends. Any questions please contact Leonitas Lionheart or Remmy Ravenhurst of Homelandz Grid, Star Ravenhurst of Tenth Dimension Grid, or Lone Wolf of Wolf Territories grid.

Just completely retextured the interior of the Meditation Temple at Luxor. A beautiful song by Lisa Gerrard plays there and I added meditation stools for those who wish to come and experience some time alone in peace in a beautiful space.

Luxor is my home so nothing is for sale here. The region rewards the patient explorer with hidden grottoes and quiet songs playing at various locations. You can hear them if your sounds are on and you wait for a minute or so for them to load. Luxor is best viewed using a PBR viewer with Shared Environment activated to complete your experience in this place of peace. All are welcome.

Working on a V3 (VERSION 3) of the Weather Online System. A friend once reminded me "-What about cities you find on many places with same name?". I was a valid question: V2 script would take one randomly. Now, one can either specify on dialog menu "Springfield, IL,US (Illinois, United States) or insert the latitude/longitude coordinates. Also I made all, I said ALL countries codes available on script so if one select a city, it will show on open chat the full name in English of the country. Still need do some tweaks and test before releasing it.

Taaaac! 💥 5 more Mia Breil outfits just landed, and they're killer! 🚀
Stefy, Euphoria, Ayka, Courtney, and Lella... names to remember, style to envy.
Super cool, super fresh, and always super fashionable! 😎✨

Of all the venues I've made, this is the one I see most often in photos from around the hypergrid. It's also my oldest venue, which means it is far overdue for a rebuild with better mesh and PBR. There is an overhaul of all the venues planned for the near future. Currently I'm preparing for an upcoming exhibition I'm excited to be part of, after that I'll have to work the venues in between game development, writing, and other projects some of you have been asking for. We'll get there.

🩷 X-Petite by BK-Mode – Klein? Vielleicht. Wirkung? Gigantisch.

Vier Looks, vier Provokationen – jedes Outfit ein Widerspruch auf zwei Beinen. Hier wird nicht kombiniert. Hier wird kuratiert.

🔸 Crop & Clash: Pinker Tiefschnitt trifft schwarze Powerpants – ein Outfit wie ein Konter.

🔸 Jogger Riot: Sportlich? Ja. Bequem? Auch. Aber mit Jacke, die aussieht wie ein Farbgewitter auf Speed.

🔸 Rainbow Raw: Pant und Top in Regenbogenoptik – nicht für den Strand, sondern für Statements ohne Worte.

🔸 Iridescent Impact: Glitzerndes Minikleid, das nicht funkelt, sondern flimmert – wie ein Gedanke, der nicht zu greifen ist.

🎯 X-Petite ist kein Stil. Es ist ein Störsignal. Für Avatare, die nicht gefallen wollen – sondern auffallen. Für Körper, die nicht viel Raum brauchen, um alles zu sagen.

Hey guys, I cleaned up my inventory and packed all the drug items into boxes and put them on display at Needful Things. They're waiting for you in the back room of the coffee shop. These are just decorative items, the stuff doesn't really pack a punch. There are also things at the front of the coffee shop that will definitely make your avatar stagger... Have fun with them!
* * * * *
Hallo Leute, ich habe mal mein Inventar aufgeräumt und sämtliche Drogenartikel in Boxen gepackt und auf Needful Things ausgestellt. Sie warten auf euch im Hinterzimmer des Coffeeshops. Es handelt sich dabei nur um Dekoware, das Zeug knallt nicht wirklich rein. Es gibt vorn im Coffeshop auch Sachen, die euren Avatar durchaus zum Wanken bringen... Viel Spaß damit!

✨ BK Mode präsentiert: ATHENA – Vier Facetten der modernen Göttin ✨

Tauche ein in die Welt von Athena – kraftvoll, wandelbar und immer stilvoll. BK Mode bringt vier ikonische Looks, die den Puls der Fashionistas höherschlagen lassen:

🖤 Urban Rebel Athena zeigt Kante: Mit schwarzem Graphic-Top, glänzender Lederhose und auffälligen Gürtel-Details wird sie zur Streetstyle-Ikone. Ein Look, der Stärke ausstrahlt und Individualität feiert – kompromisslos und cool.

👗 Preppy Chic Beige trifft auf Karomuster – dieser Look kombiniert verspielte Eleganz mit einem Hauch College-Flair. Die Minirock-Silhouette und die selbstbewusste Pose sagen: „Ich weiß, was ich will.“

💎 Futuristic Glow Transparenz trifft auf Türkis: Ein Outfit wie flüssiges Licht, das Athenas Silhouette umschmeichelt. Für alle, die sich trauen, anders zu sein – und dabei umwerfend aussehen.

🌸 Glam Pop Lavendel-Minirock, schwarzes Top, ein Hauch von Glanz: Dieser Look ist ein Statement für alle, die Mode als Ausdruck ihrer Persönlichkeit sehen. Verspielt, sexy, selbstbewusst.

💫 BK Mode – Für alle, die Mode nicht nur tragen, sondern leben.

I love working with PBR. These are all real reflections and the photos are unretouched.

Some full-perm instruments available for free on the Art Deco area at the Emporium. There's also a set of drums and a bass. Please note these are unscripted, but you're free to add what you like and do with them as you will. Click the Art Deco sign in the lobby to teleport. You'll find them inside the separate Ballroom build.

Note: PBR textures can only be seen with a PBR viewer on a PBR-enabled region. Fall-back textures are included for non-PBR viewers.
