After the first two amazing series, I was very suspect of the planned third series. However, after one episode of the new Alice in Borderland on Netflix, I'm in. Mostly. The set up has that final season feel where they explain a lot, but AiB manages to not make it tiresome, or to explain everything.

Progress. #miniterrain #minipainting

A Little Egret in the Tweed estuary at #BerwickUponTweed today, catching little fish.

If the Rapture tomorrow just takes all the right wing pseudo-Christians and Trumpists, might I suggest we call it The Fuckoffening.

Working more on the nightgaunt haunted Arcardian folly. Did the painting and wash on the flagstones, fountain, dias, and altar. Oh, and the ruined arch the nightgaunt is on (going to be fun painting him...). Highlighting once the wash is dry, a varnish, then on with the vegetation. #miniterrain

"Please, take my hands…" Post-It Note art with ink and markers.

Some light reading.

I loved my trip to Chicago (can't believe it was nearly two decades ago), I enjoyed my time teaching at a summer camp in the 80's in NY State. I hate that I'll likely never visit the US again.

Entrance tunnel to the huge ice house by the Tweed at Berwick.

Wonder if any if you can confirm whether owning Dying Light 2 - Reloaded edition gets you the new Beast game? Demand seems to have crashed Techland, so no answers there, and looking online gets me contradictory answers. I have a very frustrated kid here wanting to know.

If the government can celebrate scaring a critic off TV, the punchline writes itself — and it’s from 1933. #JimmyKimmel

Just in case anyone is unsure: I despise Trump. I kinda pitied him for a while, due to his advanced age and obvious major health issues, but he stamped out that last little ember. I despise his regime and all who serve in it. Grifting, cruel, and impossibly stupid individuals, all of them. Fuck 'em.

Here’s what a Ball State University employee said that led to their termination:

Mordaunt is so fucking patronising, so dismissive, quick to insult but offering absolutely nothing. She sneers at the concept that those in power must take a stand against the likes of Trump. That's student union politics, apparently. Your rights, your safety, your health are student union politics.

Playing through Hardspace - Shipbreaker again. Something in the narrative of workers defeating the bosses by sticking together through collective action really appeals right now.

I was never really disappointed by the Tories. They only ever did what the Tories do - be hideous in every possible way. I've been disappointed and felt betrayed by the Limp Dems. Their time in coalition revealed them as Tory Lite. Labour under Starmer have disappointed. 1/3

🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨 We’ve just seen this, by creator “Menapian” - a 4,998-piece set of the Great Exhibition (1851) Crystal Palace - complete with a bonus Megalosaurus and Ichthyosaur… beta.ideas.lego.com/product-idea...

Ancient One totem from Only-Games all finished. #minipainting #miniterrain #Cthulhu

See?! I mentioned this just the other day, and now Mr King, sir, agrees!

On the bench this evening: Ghouls mucking around in a graveyard; Nightgaunts gathering in an Arcadian folly (that's being used for sinister purposes); A Cthonian marker stone; A nightgaunt getting back to their celtic roots. That should keep me busy!

Why are those flexi figures so threatening? #startrek #masterreplica #jordanpeele

Once again, I find myself wishing I could enjoy cooking. I don't, though. I admire and envy that others have a passion for it, but any love I had for it was smothered years ago. (Note, this isn't a request for help or recommendations. This is just flinging words into the void.)

Watching 'The House That Dripped Blood', an Amicus production from 1971. Love Denholm Elliot, 49yo at the time and with dyed hair, being described as part of a 'young couple from London'. Cracking cast, though, and written by Robert Bloch.

Watched #Weapons last night. Pretty good. I enjoyed the slow burn to that ending. The film reminded me a lot of a French series on Netflix. #Marianne is great. Recommended.

Going to do another quick shoot when the sun goes down. No blind on the attic window. Sign by @fenrisgames.com #miniterrain #minipainting

I laughed out loud, happily, at the Virtual Boy reveal. Utter, wonderful madness.

It's been so long since I played a board game that I forgot why you don't play them on the floor if you have cats. JiJi, my very own hunting horror, came to visit the Vanderbilt mansion.

Put my money down and joined the Green Party here in the UK. Fascism needs opposed, be it Refart or Tory. Labour are too busy appeasing. Chamberlain didn't do so well when he tried that, and I feel Spike Milligan's description of him applies to Starmer too - a man who did Prime Minister impressions.

Been busy with life so haven't pushed this much and it didn't receive much interest either so here I go, look at this.

Doctor I trust more than RFK Jr.

Progress! The sign, from @fenrisgames.com , is done. The lights work extremely well. Once the paint is fully dry, I can get this onto the base and get it finished. Enjoying this one a great deal.

I know some folks love them, but whenever I see the words 'Soundtrack/music by Tangerine Dream' I know I'm going to enjoy the film a lot less.

Had an amazing time with the kids at @tabletopscot.bsky.social I'm paying today for all that walking. Everything hurts. That's my second year there. While I love the event, I loathe getting to it. The Royal Highland Center has the worst public transport access of any major venue I've visited.

ATTENTION BRITAIN! 🇬🇧 The UK now has a petition to STOP CENSORSHIP by MasterCard and VISA of legal products! This joins the Australian and Canadian petitions that are gaining momentum. Come on, let's get these signed! And spread the word! The UK petition: petition.parliament.uk/signatures/1...

The brand new backdrop book "WORLD WAR RUINS" by Jon Hodgson is a perfect tie in with this project - and currently only availble via this KS! So get it before the slow pokes! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...

Yesterday, I had confirmation of something long suspected. I have ADHD. It's funny, interesting even, looking back over my 56 years and 11 months in light of this diagnosis. So much is suddenly clear. Bit frustrating, bit sad, but - more than anything else, the relief is huge. Hadn't expected that.

Progress! The snow base is done until the sign is in place. Sign is in its pristine form. Now to rust it up. Lights have arrived! They'll be mounted on a board to be mounted to the sign. Very excited about these. Sign by @fenrisgames.com Lights by Small Scale Lights (UK) #miniterrain

Newly elected Green Party leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked, would he ever work with Keir Starmer?

I keep being asked what my position on trans rights is. So thought I might as well share with you all...

I'll be at the Edinburgh one. Anyone I know heading to the same one?

Before and after carving. I was going to do this as a desert ruin, but I think I might do snow instead. This one is for me. I just really like the sign (from @fenrisgames.com ). #miniterrain

If you like your vampire films weird and French, I recommend The Vourdalak, currently £2.99 on iTunes. It's a Mignola fever dream come to life.

Finished this today. The room of the careless alchemist. #minipainting #miniterrain

I'd forgotten that 'Devil in a Blue Dress' was such a good film. Love a good hard-boiled detective yarn.

You'll know it’s happened when they cancel the ballroom plans and hurriedly open a sofa showroom instead. #ThoughtsAndPrayers

Cor! What a lovely bit of packaging. Fantastic. Oh, and a book by @rdansky.bsky.social

There was a lot of sky this evening. #BerwickUponTweed
