#hobbystreak Day 2072: picked out the intestines a bit more, as well as the tongues. Used blue for a few of the intestines to make them a bit more vivid. Shaded around some of the pustules to make them pop a bit, also highlighted the horns faintly

This is a real thing a real person said. Astonishing how much contempt people hold in their hearts. Soul-poisoning.

That’s obviously what happened: Starmer thought he could pull a “tag and fire” to a career Civil Servant, not a Labour apparatchik, who turned and said, “Cool, bring me in and I’ll sing like a canary,” and people are observing how quickly Keith’s game folds when it’s not rigged in his favour lol

#hobbystreak Day 2071: drybrushed all of the nurglings with a desaturated grey green then picked out the horns. First few were too neat so I made the paint very thin for the rest to keep some of the dirt showing through. Will need to dirty them up a bit and then pick out tongues/teeth/nasty bits

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

One of my favorite facts from the @thewaroncars.bsky.social book is that when brave mayors were trying to make Copenhagen and similar cities more bike/pedestrian-friendly in the 60s/70s, people violently opposed it because "that might work in other European cities, but Scandinavia has a car culture"

I encourage *everyone* on my skyline to read this excerpt. 🥚

"No way. Fuck off."

Put another way, I think the Jewishness of the army and the state is basically incidental. This is simply what happens when you have a racial supremacist state and a racial supremacist army and a racial supremacist law. The soldiers, regardless of the particulars, will act as if they are supreme.

When the woman asked the then-CEO why she never got to work with MrBeast, she was allegedly told: “Let’s just say that when you’re around and [MrBeast] goes to the restroom, he’s not actually using the restroom.”

#hobbystreak Day 2070: painted the base with a quick layer of dark green. Started the nurglings with a yellowy green contrast and then quickly splashed them with a wide variety of contrast paints, focusing mostly on bruising colours. I'll probably drybrush threm and pick out the bone details

It is important to keep in mind that a lot of the natalist panic in the West is in response to a successful feminist push to reduce the rates of child rape. (Teenage girls are statistically most often knocked up by adult men. I think the average age is around 23.)

"The Pope isn't responsible for the American Congress of Bishops banning trans healthcare" so the thing about the power of the Pope is that he could just overwrite them if BANNING ALL TRANS HEALTHCARE FOR EVERYONE ADULTS AND MINORS ALIKE was something he cared about Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

drill sergeant: you're cute. You're handsome. I think you oughta be in movies me: sir yes sir drill sergeant, raising his voice to a scream: did anyone ever tell you you are beautiful

As someone perfectly put it, “we are being led by failed middle managers”.

alright

I disagree with the flak this app gets. Just don't follow people that make you cringe. Mute them. Follow the funny ones. It's like hanging out in the coloring book section of a bookstore and being like wow this place is for idiots

#hobbystreak Day 2069: two quick layers of dry brushing on the engineer and pile of nurglings. Not sure I'll be able to get the depth right without UV resin but I'd like to have the nurglings wading through a murky swamp that's nearly swallowing some of the lower ones

i love starting with "lots of strange reactions to this game" and following that up with the strangest reaction yet

so they had the press secretary fire the labor secretary via tweet but the labor secretary is now like fuck off Oddjob, I'm staying and has lawyered up, just another day in the golden age of America

#hobbystreak Day 2068: have a bit of an idea of a cool base for this pile of nurglings so I sprayed them black along with the skaven engineer

unironically a beautiful and effective way to keep grifters out. if you get filtered by an anime catgirl popping up for 2 seconds because it's too cringe and gay for you was your heart really in the systems programming?

my unpopular opinion is that we're better off with Kash running the FBI and we should hope he keeps his job as long as Trump does

"according to nine people familiar" is never a line you want in a story about you

This is not a knock on DMB but if you had told me twenty years ago that Dave Mathews would be this outspoken on an issue that Radiohead completely shat the bed on, well... I would've been surprised!

I love how the media is like, ah, time for our 4 pm EST Friday unverifiable statements that always fall apart by Monday. no need to examine or present the pattern here!

The Iron Dome itself betrays the fraud of an "offensive weapons" distinction, because it permits Israel to be the aggressor without consequences.

The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun. And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene. And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics. And then, they did it one more time for good measure.

What do people actually think Nelson Mandela and Gandhi were demanding, vis-a-vis the South African and British governments, respectively? Because it wasn't demilitarized quasi-autonomous economic enterprise zones under foreign security supervision.

#hobbystreak Day 2067: still not sure what to do so I put together this skaven model I dug up from my backlog boxes. I've a vague idea of wanting to do a diorama but nothing concrete in my mind

Finding out the reason why Fire Emblem 4 has both a second generation and a heavy emphasis on horses is because Kaga went to a horse race once is killing me

You know it's gonna fall down but you have no idea how hard it's going to fall down

Remarkable.

I’ll never forget watching The Wicker Man with my outer Hebridean mum. “I just don’t know where there got all that wicker from”

MULDER: The Director of the FBI wants us to investigate a disease where he wakes up with headache, upset stomach and a wet bed SCULLY: Mulder, I think he's just hung over MULDER: Sounds like you haven't heard of a little thing called the Tijuana Blues

#hobbystreak Day 2066: wasn't quite certain what to paint next so I dug through my box of random minis and dug up some more terrain to use as a backup. Spray primed them black, tomorrow will hopefully find something I actually want to paint or assemble

always thought that when writing for general audiences, academics oughta stray away from the Latin "cum" for "also," but this has got to be the worst example of that I've ever seen

#C4News last night reported on the wholesale targeting of ambulances & paramedics in Lebanon by Israel, including the recent 'triple hit', when Israel attacked an ambulance, then attacked paramedics who went to help, and then attacked further paramedics also trying to help.

Exactly one year ago today:

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said. I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

#hobbystreak Day 2065: Finished with these I think, did some chipping on the copper sections and they look suitably worn from a distance

There's an instinct to blame the left that these agri protests are often right wing or led by people who are right wing cause "the left" didn't engage but that ignores that many of these people have their own conservative to right wing ideologies.

Last month in The Onion:

the democratic senate is hamas

#hobbystreak Day 2064: dirtied the pipes with small patches of a dark olive green mixture. It's dark enough to not stand out and just break up the copper sections. Then splashed them with a very watered down near black green to make them look even more grimy. Final step will be some chipping
