Reading Moonflow by Bitter Karella. I came across this passage that rings so true: "Las Brujas was one of the innumerable ramshackle boomtowns that popped up all over Northern California during the gold rush, attracted prospectors from China...

In news out of nowhere I expected, Douglas Adams book, "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency", made an accurate prediction of sorts. One of the characters is a robot monk, a robot that prays for you similar to the way a VCR is a robot that watches television for you. We now have a robot monk.

Share a preacher, nun, or priest.

As much as I hate what Trump is doing, I hate those who enable him even more. I hate Mitch McConnell for making it hard for getting in the way of Democratic processes. I also hate all the Democratic leadership that are not using the same tools to stop the Trump regime.

Middle school Valentine's Quote of the Day: "If she's not here today, I'm giving this [flowers, box of chocolate, and stuffed animal] to someone else."

If you see this, quote with a robot that is not from "Star Wars", "Dr. Who", or "Transformers".

Show me how you paint/draw women.

ICE does not belong most places, and definitely not schools. #ICEOutSchools

Inar Sion from Warhammer Quest Darkwater. 4th model painted this year of the 11 I have finished. #WarhammerQuest #WarhammerCommunity #Nerdlings #PaintSlam2026

Drolf Ironhead from Warhammer Quest Darkwater. Third of the 11 models painted so far in 2026. #WarhammerQuest #WarhammerCommunity #Nerdlings #PaintSlam2026

Edmark Valoran from Warhammer Quest Darkwater. Finished him enough to get him on the table. #WarhammerQuest #WarhammrCommunity #Nerdlings #PaintSlam2026

Finished Bren Tylis...least as far as I'm going to take her. Great mini, but I have quite a few more to paint to be finished with the box. One of my first 11 minis of 2026. #WarhammerQuest #WarhammerCimmunity #Nerdlings #PaintSlam2026

Some of my current works in progress. The 4 main heroes from Warhammer Quest Darkwater. #Warhammer #WarhammerQuest #Darkwater #Nerdlings

Bird art? Bird art. QRP with your bird art.

Pero si no es así, permítaseme hacer una pregunta: -¿Tiempo, dónde estamos tú y yo, yo que vivo en ti y tú que no existes? (Translation - If this is not so, then allow me to ask a question: Time, where are we, you and I, I who live in you and you who do not exist?) -Alfonso Cortés

I was out for a late evening walk, and I saw this little guy on a square of grass about 20 feet by 20 feet. He saw me, and hoped by not moving he would be invisible.

The yearly reading of Hogfather has commenced. #Discworld #Hogfather

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

Here's where a lot of anger comes in. There should have been some process to get approval before work could begin on this and the abomination that is the paved over Rose Garden. Do we even do checks and balances anymore?

Chiitan is the best!

This is from a book by David F Walker that he did during the previous Trump administration. Glad I kept the book, as it's still relevant today. We only need an inflatable frog and a chicken with an American Flag cape.

QRS with your orange art.

Interesting that the House of Representatives Dems will join to "honor" Charlie Kirk (mostly to sign on that political violence is wrong), but the GOP Reps won't sign on a resolution to release the full Epstein files, with all due caution for the victims. I really ponder their character.

I'm calling the Terminators done. Painted to be Iron Hands based on my flawed interpretation from Rogue Trader days. #Warhammer40k #IronHands #Nerdlings #PaintSlam2025

This looks to be a great project. There are a number of ways that we can show our support for trans folk. #Warhammer #EmperorsChildren #PrideonParade

Taking an Iron Hands break to paint up another model for my Emperor's Children. He's nearly there.

Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains the way you are. Clive Barker's Books of Blood. I had read some Stephen King which did not hit in quite the same way.

The manosphere creates these young men that no one wants to be around. Then, it sells them on the idea that they are lonely due to problems with society. Never does it ask them to be self reflective.

I haven't been painting as much lately. I did two five man squads of Infernus Marines. One is led by the normal sergeant, the other squad is led by the Combat Patrol Magazine variant. #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer40k #SpaceMarines #IronHands #Nerdlings #PaintSlam2025

Bad Squiddo puts out some great and fun miniatures. Definitely check them out, where else will you find a great miniature like Ada Lovelace or the dreaded Turkeyman?

I understand that impeachment is unlikely to pass. The Republicans are more than willing to allow for their own to commit crime after crime. We know this. Why would you vote to table this if you're a Democrat unless you support Trump's policies? Oregon's 5th deserves better. #OR05 #ImpeachNow

If you or anyone you know have an appointment in immigration court, then plan ahead. The quoted source will put you in touch with a law student who will help with making it so that you can do the appointment from a safe location.

I found my ancient Marneus Calgar. Painted as an Iron Fist, the intent was to paint him like my dad. Maybe I'll strip him down and do a better job. Maybe I'll keep him like this as a reminder of where I started and get a new model to show where I'm at. Who knows. #WarhammerCommunity #Needlings

Has it occurred to anyone else that Elon Musk might have that Innsmouth look?

If you see this, QS an awesome theme tune.

Here are the two oldest GW miniatures that I still own. I painted them as Iron Hands, as that looked the easiest to paint. I may have misunderstood some of the markings in Rogue Trader. #Warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity #Oldhammer #Nerdlings

This is the best message about protesting. We need to have solidarity, even if we don't like or agree with other folk on our side. We can fight amongst ourselves once ICE is abolished, trans folk have the same rights as everyone else, and we stop supporting genocide.

I get that in your heart you feel that you know best. That best is for you, and maybe your like-minded friends. Supporting each other, even if we don't agree on methods, is how we are going to get through this

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.
