Honestly I wasn’t even that mad about the broken models because I’ve been telling the kids for years not to step, sit, or jump on bags and suitcases. And actually having a permanent I-Told-You-So example I can dine out on for years is worth some mostly-fixable Grimghast Reapers.

I am fully aware that what I am about to say is ludicrous. What I want is a version of 40k that runs on the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game rules. Holy *shit* these rules are good.

The damage to America being done by this Administration is going to take generations to repair

Bombadil posting will continue until morale improves 💛

There's nothing sane about this image. That fact should have terrified America. When this photo first appeared in 2015, I'd posted it with the words, "Eat my baby, Great Lord Trump! EAT MY BABY!" Ten years later, they literally ARE sacrificing children to him. Even their own. Madness.

@marisakabas.bsky.social managing to concisely lay out what's going on, without screaming and cursing like when I do it

Hate it when I have a really hot sex dream and then have to wake up and determine whether it is Problematic.

A banner! The process is pretty random, heating a band of plastic with the hot glue gun.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

Hot take: kids not knowing what a file system is AND kids misusing LLMs as a search engine are two sides of the same technology incompetence problem this thread is criticizing.

okay so i was just reminded that kickstarter now has late pledges. i always keep forgetting that's a thing because for a loong time it wasn't. so i guess sunstone artbook is still open for pledges. not sure for how long tho but yeah. www.kickstarter.com/projects/top...

“Your honour, I move for a directed verdict. How can my client Cain have known that smashing his brother over the head with a rock would kill him if nobody had ever died before?”

The baseline expectation of the Trump Administration is maximum corruption, so nobody (certainly not these yahoos) gets excited about business as usual. But Biden suffered from the expectation that he not use the presidency as a personal asset to benefit and enrich cronies, friends, and family, so

This is my first attempt at lava-style power blades. I think they're Good Enough.

From Abraham Flexner, founder of the Institute for Advanced Study, in 1939:

Here's a version without the border #lackadaisy

Merry Christmas from my house!

I'm currently a little sick, and took a THC tablet to help me sleep. This keeps me from forming an objective opinion as to whether Eternity is objectively any good, but I am kinda enjoying it.

We have a Christmas Eve drama that is so First World that it is profoundly embarrassing. I will donate $250 to the charity of choice of the person who comes closest to guessing.

It's genuinely refreshing to see a judge not pretend that this administration is normal or treat it in good faith.

"You could be a lot of things other than what you are; but unfortunately, you are none of them."

Single-panel horror:

also, very importantly: Henry Cavil LOOKS like how people would expect Ciaphas Cain, the only man in the entire imperium who gets laid, would look

keeping this around for the next time i'm asked what Bluesky is

getting really annoyed with this trend of making xyz a crime and then allocating nothing to enforcement

So I am reading the novelization of In the Mouth of Madness. "The rain came down in torrents, hard and cold, hammering the ambulance like it owed the sky money." I'm pleased with it so far.

Azure Raptors Female Space Marines Terminators finished in time for Christmas! #Nerdlings #TheEmperorExpects 1/2

I read this right after I read about a 22 year old American citizen being held by ICE because they insist, despite her birth certificate, medical records, and immunization records, that she was not born in the USA. The "Harris needed to earn my vote and she didn't" crowd are as responsible.

very few people can truly understand just how cathartic this is @kaijubigbattel.bsky.social 6abc.com/post/wife-cr...

I consider this one of my core texts for figuring out the MAGA movement. It looks like these forums are now moving to TikTok.

I don't know why I subject myself to these articles and the related comments. I'm sure if you ask my mom, my former stepfather, or hub's mom, they will not know why we are estranged: they did everything right, they did the best they could, etc. But there were so many reasons and I have no regrets.

“If they’re in jail or prison they must be guilty. Especially if they took a plea!” Please I’m begging y’all to sit in a criminal courtroom for 1 day. See what punishment COULD occur in a deeply flawed system. Yeah the 1 year sentence sounds better than 15. I’ll take that plea & not risk more

Cleaned my eldar warlocks, stripping paint off metal minis is so much easier. 🙂 These GF will each lead a squad of storm guardians.

😂 States of Grace stories @sgj.bsky.social

Remembering when folks made websites around their interests and hobbies simply for the love of the game, no likes or revenue, and social networking was a webring or a forum. I will never forget it

Thought for the day: Sometimes love is a feeling in your heart. Sometimes it's screwing someone senseless. And sometimes it's working a job you aren't necessarily excited about, but that will give them a lifetime pension even if you die before they do.

yes, this is because the grandparents in question almost certainly abuse the grandchildrens' parents, and like all generations, the next one is trying to do better and protect their children from the monstrous past I mean hell, even *my* insane horrible folks protected me from my worse grandparents

Handing back student work that’s been written by ChatGPT with a 0 followed by the comment “This essay will never stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God’s creation.”

I have been told, with great sincerity, that people assumed I was stupid until they heard me argue something in court (I am a lawyer.) "Not nearly as dumb as he looks" is genuinely my favorite compliment. You can't go that backhanded without meaning it.

They built it. The Warhammer 40,000.

"We know that air and water belong to all mankind and not merely to industrialists." - James Baldwin, 1970. (The year the US EPA was created.)

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

House votes on dumbass resolution condemning socialism, meanwhile the DSA's Lisan al-Gaib rolls the truculent child brain president like a pair of socks

Today is the day to tell a strange story. The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did. Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.

You’ll notice that the same media who couldn’t stop attacking Biden’s age or Hillary’s emails to her daughter or President Obama’s tan suit are now okay with a convicted criminal bulldozing the White House for his ballroom and inviting actual murderers to the Oval Office.

Well, neither one will do America any good. Republicans, you are never going to live this shit down. Never.

"Women at Harvard deserve educators who respect them."

What investigation. He was good buddies with the world's most famous pedo. Just cut bait. What the fuck is wrong with you? You have a deep bench of old rich white assholes from Harvard that could fill in for Larry and you wouldn't miss a beat but instead you do this. Lol
