This is a fun little sprue. I'm doing up a series of objective markers/detail pieces using this sprue, the earlier Dead Animal Bits, and various other parts and leftovers from a whole variety of places. Photos and blog post sometime soon.

Tucked into one lobe of Tabletop Wargaming & Miniature Painting Community looks about right for me. Really cool visualization, though I don't pretend to understand more than "tracked who follows you and what they talk about to generate connections" here...

I don't care if you're a big painting studio or not, if you paint very well or not. If you use AI to animate or paint your miniature, your art is worthless. Respect all the other artists, respect the planet and respect yourself.

It is #Caturday and the Floof continues to be photogenic. Persist, but pause to gaze upon the floof. Remember that Nazis need punching, ICE must be abolished, Canada will never be the 51st State, alt text should be included in all images, trans rights are human rights, and all cats are best cats.

The Act of Creation? The Divine Motions that flow through me as is my right as the Conduit of a power known only to my gods? A true gift that lets me briefly feel connected yet free from the universal laws themselves having borne something from nothing? And you want me to let the computer do that?

Discworld QOTD, from I Shall Wear Midnight

There's a type of guy whose hobby is to complain about the hobby they think they're part of, but never actually build anything or participate in any helpful way. Ignore them.

Minneapolis has style.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Hey any Seattle area folks, check your sweet new ride out...

In my ongoing attempts to give you a break from *gestures widely* THE HORRORS: Let's talk about the utterly bizarre science of cats' purring. Here's a weird starting point: There are NO cats (Felidae) that can BOTH roar AND purr. Cats that roar = genus Panthera Cats that purr = genus Felis

Ooof. Go read this. Slowly.

The US granted visas to Jews but only allowed 30,000 in from Germany a year. You had to wait for your number to come up. Meet Robert Smallbones. An unassuming British diplomat who 'hacked' this system so effectively (saving 48 THOUSAND Jews) the UK government kept his scheme secret for decades /1 🧵

A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

"Oh hi Uncle Dave! I found that goat we lost yesterday!" "tHat iS gOoooOoD, Charlie, bUt iT Is laTE, yOuR parents wIlL bE wOrRiED. BeSt heAd hOooooOome nOoooow." "OK Uncle Dave, I know there's some scary stuff in the woods! Good night!" Davithilikikiki the eldritch likes being 'Uncle Dave'...

Also my start in gaming. The two sets of polyhedral dice I got to play it are still in my dice collection but the books vanished long ago...

The actual fucking Gestapo have a verified BSky account. They might be pre-blocked for you if you subscribe to the right anti-fascist blocking services, but otherwise, use the lovely nuclear block option.

An obit worth reading. "What one does with Nazis is kill them."

Appropriately savage.

It is #Caturday. Let us celebrate rescue cats being gloriously comfy and sleek and knowing they shall never want for food or comfort again in this life. Furthermore, ICE must be destroyed and fascists should be cast out from society.

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

As I reposted and commented upon John Stallard's comments yesterday, I thought it's only fair to also show you his response to the backlash. I will leave it up to you, dear reader, to decide how you want to feel about it.

More relevant than ever, and by popular demand: another LIMITED run of our Antifa miniatures shirt courtesy of SlowDeath Games. Available in red or black and several sizes. Only in the shop for a couple of weeks so nobody's waiting forever for these to arrive. Grab yours now, terrorists!

Warlord just stepped in it. (Details and source in thread...)

I can finally show you all the big rainbow model I was working on at the end of the year. ☺️ GW sent me the Nightbringer and I knew what I had to do. 🌈😋 Check out all the other amazing models in the article here: www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl... #Ad #AdWIP #New40k #WarhammerCommunity

The automated WP->BSky posting thing isn't working on my blog, so here's yesterday's short workbench update. 1/1200 WW2 naval stuff mostly, and MORE LIGHT! Includes rly obvious Fifth Element joke. #nerdlings #wargaming #miniatures www.warbard.ca/2026/01/07/t...

No contest Unfortunately the studio version is nowhere near as good as any of the live performances

Welcome to all our new followers! If you're interested in getting more museums, libraries, galleries, and archives in your feed (because why the heck wouldn't you be), here's a starter pack we made earlier: go.bsky.app/HPQsZAu

I was 18 when I called out Nazi shitheads causing trouble at the first Dead Kennedys show in Toronto. They threw bottles, spit, threat and bile. We held our ground. So I don't lose sleep when boomer /Gen X/ Incels have tantrums and throw threats online. Nazi punks fuck off.

An artist’s sketchbook is a window to the soul, I guess

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

Excellent little terrain tutorial in BSky thread form. Barrows are useful across a whole range of genres, too.

Diorama inspired by this newspaper photo. I wanted to build a Panzer IV but show it captured or destroyed. This one is now on display to help sell bonds. Tamiya tank, I Love Kit tank transport, Tamiya, Miniart & Masterbox details & figures Here's the final result. This is a thread. #histscalemodels

Spending #Caturday doing feline-supervised #nerdling #wargaming shit and trying to ignore the world, because holy shit...

Dog boats trying to stop an E-boat sortie from Le Havre. Another playtest of what is now officially going to be a standalone Ganesha Games ruleset. This is very exciting for me, as GG is one of my favourite rules publishers. #navalwargaming

New post on my wargaming blog: More Boating About In Mess. Some new 1/1200 terrain and discussion of @thomasbrandstetter.bsky.social's upcoming Torpedoes & Tides WW2 fast boat rules, which I got a playtest version of. #wargaming #nerdlings www.warbard.ca/2026/01/02/m...
