John Blanche did to wargaming what Vivienne Westwood did to fashion. Dungeonpunk showed us that you didn't have to respectfully render Tolkien in historical hues, but could slap on tentacles and spikes and lipstick and chequers and blazing evil moons.

I wish Bluesky was the sort of place where if you had incredibly shitty service from a company — let’s call it “Verizon” just to have a name to use — you could complain and get them to fall all over themselves trying to fix it. Oh well!

I’m sure the Groypers will react very well to being told they can’t goon anymore.

Amazonia Gothique is one of my personal favourite Blanche works tbh.

You really need to stop thinking of these people as your fellow countrymen. They are not. Hell, I encourage you to think of them as vermin

The opposition I receive to the idea that Trump voters should simply not be allowed to vote anymore suggests that many of you still view them as the opposition instead of the enemy

Just fucking die already.

The issue with Rhodesia and South Africa was not white people living in the countries (and white people live in both modern Zimbabwe and South Africa) but with white people excluding the majority of the population from power and enforcing segregation.

Got an all-clear from the surgeon today after three months of worry. Turns out I’m completely healthy and actually quite fit?

Lawyers, Guns and Money is a rare outpost of the OG blogosphere that's still thriving to this day. Please give them some love to help keep them going!

(Trump's) "wandering the hallways looking for someone to talk to" I don't think that quite paints the picture Marco Rubio thinks it does 😴

Eh, he should have baited Rubio first, asking if he would ever lie to Congress. Get him to deny that, then you bring out the receipts.

This is not just tacky. This is not just corrupt. It is an intentional blot on the soul of our nation. It is a perverted black mass held in a captured temple, declaring domination through ritual desecration.

the alternative to so many of our modern problems are just, you know, building actual communities of actual humans with actual shared interests

I hope that was the last time anyone had to see him.

This is more about WLTP being a rubbish test and less about the benefit of PHEVs. The problem is many Europeans got them as company cars and never plug them in.

as a DC resident, i'm seeing this campaign in a blunt form: camo-wearing armed troops on the streets, giant banners of the Leader's face hanging from government buildings. it's reminiscent of the time i was in Sisi-led Egypt

OH MY GOD THERE IS A VERSION THAT GOES EVEN MORE HARDER

RIP to John Blanche, the best to ever do it. Before Warhammer was even Warhammer he understood what it was: weird, gross, unsettling, maximalist.

RIP British fantasy and sci-fi illustrator, modeller, and art director John Blanche. This fantastic artist was especially well-known for his work on Warhammer (including 40K, etc). He retired from work at Games Workshop three years ago only. He was 77.

Ngl I would eat these by the case.

This is wildly irresponsible speculation, but, more importantly, it's also very fun.

Martin Scorsese's goal is not to Employ as Many Artists as Possible - it is to employ the ones he needs to make his movie on time and under budget. The director whose entire goal is keeping all his friends employed and going on trips is Adam Sandler. Easy mistake to make, I know.

Man, how much money is Graza spending on product placement?

A non-Jewish person sitting shiva for a restaurant the very name of which is treif. Incredible person.

equally if i pay a guy to drive my burrito to me that *should* be an expensive proposition.

The paper suggests similar numbers for Uber & Lyft, who use drivers. Driving home the point that robotaxis are just that: taxis. They're not a panacea for congestion or a replacement for public transit.

NEW: Ahead of the SpaceX IPO, we tracked hundreds of promises that Elon Musk has made over the years (FSD, Mars etc). His success rate is… not good. And it’s getting worse. Some actual data in our months-long analysis here: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The National Guard have zero training on DC law and have no authority to arrest people. They should not be here at all much less detaining people. Their presence is a danger, and is not making us safer. They are here to protect the regime not the people — and we want them OUT.

I guess I should be glad the ones I see only ever stand around looking bored? Get them out of our city.

I love how non car people will reflexively call it a “Dodge Ram” a full 17 years after the split happened

it is an indignity to be policed by soldiers

A kilogram of water weighs more than a kilogram of butane. This is because butane is a lighter fluid.

Love that this woman would have supposedly been part of the team that would have given us free healthcare.

does anil dash know anything about any topic whatsoever

hype-y tech IPOs have been a steady bonanza for Wall Street for more than a quarter century, and if there's anything capable of killing that vibe forever it's Elon Musk's two trillion dollar turd being forced into every index fund

half a billion ain't shit if you're killing the goose that lays golden eggs

The main problem with this entire endless debate is that most Americans believe they belong to an economic tier they actually don’t and what really frustrates them is realizing they’re not as close to the tier above them as they imagined. This chart illustrates that fragility imo

Do kids today even know about Laurel and Hardy? As a kid in the 80s in the UK they were always on TV.

For an assignment, I spent 1.5 hours at a stop sign by U of T. Out of 228 vehicles, 208 did not stop. 59 when pedestrians were waiting or actively crossing. I saw 20/228 (9%) lawful interactions w/ that stop sign. If police showed any force to even one of those 208 drivers, there would be riots.

I’m so old I remember when Elon pretended to care about climate change. (And you all believed him)

We’re at the scene where the two not very bright crooks turn on each other.

I wonder where Elon will hide when he tanks every index fund in America.

If you’re using AI to do your books you’ve already stopped writing. No writer I know would do such a thing. We write because we are compelled to write.

why does anyone even bother trying to be serious when this is how you become a trillionaire in our society?
