#hobbystreak Day 2002: quickly under painted the orruks trousers and then cut out a piece of foam for use as part of the base for the Big Pig, planning to have it be a massive tombstone

at the risk of being cringe or whatever, the making of Threads was a political act by CND people whose purpose was to puncture any sort of ignorant nationalist optimism about nuclear war & foreground the stakes in detente and disarmament for policymakers present and future

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

I know I've said before multiple times that this government isn't interested in governing but holy shit. This is next-level allergy to responsibility

What are we even doing here

Another thing. They went for trans kids because it's easier to target them than trans adults. Trans kids you can threaten the parents with safeguarding and child abduction and force them to tolerate a lot of institutional abuse with limited outcry.

#hobbystreak Day 2001: keeping with these models briefly, painted a quick layer of orangey yellow speed paint on their skin as a basecoat

What do you reckon that Eoin would be doing if his dad hadn't got a Wikipedia entry.

Catching up with all of Scotland in concluding that Anas Sarwar is not a tactical mastermind, but rather just some forgettable idiot.

As something of a specialist in mitigation, “Actually I took my children with me to Paedo Island” is not what I would open with.

which one

#hobbystreak Day 2000: Sleepy so I just did some undercoating on these three rather than working on the base. Idk why one of them is a different colour? Must have had some random cream or brown on my palette

From the owner of the paper

ffta judge: new law marche: mmm-hm ffta judge: if you use a sword you have to say out loud a time you accidentally called someone mom montblanc: don't you think... these are getting weird? marche: i just. marche: i just don't care anymore. ffta judge: new law - give me 20 dollars

trying not to laugh out loud at this police siren sound. come on man

“Another one of my more reactionary positions is the ultimate reactionary position. The kernel of reactionary thought through which all other reactionary positions emerge. I guess you could say I’m absolutely a reactionary”

i'm baffled by all the people in the replies to posts about the spy doorbells asking for alternatives. like... the alternative is a regualr fucking doorbell with no camera in it. or a door knocker. get you a weird gargoyle guy! you dont need a camera!

Uh package theft is a very serious issue, with a staggering ~0.0026% of packages falling victim to porch pirates in 2024 alone! It's important to create a nationwide panopticon to save Americans ~$50-200 per package. (1) www.sellerscommerce.com/blog/package... (2) www.uspsoig.gov/reports/whit...

It’s the same as Johnson, isn’t it: if the secret ingredients of your success are “lying like fuck to the public” and “relying upon the unlimited indulgence of the press to repeat your lies and horseshit”, and it all explodes if the second part is removed: to what extent are you good at politics?

Every Democratic candidate in NJ-12 except Sam Wang at a CAIR event say that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza

if you search for redacted videos in the epstein files and change the results from pdf to mp4, you can fully watch the videos unredacted seems like uh, a big deal

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

A reminder that Biden SAT on these files and in turn so did Harris. They knew about these files.

A British woman who was shot dead by her father while visiting his home in Texas had argued with him about US President Donald Trump earlier that day, an inquest has heard. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!

Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

If this guy ends up being an ubiquitous parapolitical figure I’m gonna be so fucking annoyed. How many idiot boy kings could one civilization possibly need

#hobbystreak Day 1999: started the first phase of the base. Have some grand designs in mind that I'm not sure I'm going to be able to execute lol. May have to do some practice runs first to get ready for it

99% of modern security products are just some company going "would you like this app that gamifies paranoia" and you going "yeag" like just don't do it. just turn it off

#hobbystreak Day 1998: some details on the pick and then the goop on the tongue and around the mouth. I think I'm mostly done with the miniature itself? Next up will be planning out an appropriate base. I'm thinking something with a bit of height to it

This deserves to be spread as far and wide as what happened to Renee Good and Alex Pretti. apnews.com/article/immi...

Absolutely blows my mind that Starmer couldn't even get it together to fire McSweeny. He's the political equivalent of a tattered plastic bag caught on a fence.

Before we get started, I just want to say thank you to all of my subscribers. This has been a dream as long as I can remember and I couldn’t have done it without you. It feels surreal to finally say it, but this is the final episode of Nutting In Every Country In The World. Welcome to Vatican City

I have told a few MPs this. I genuinely feel a lot of adults hate the existence and needs of young people. Then they act surprised/bewildered that these kids are anxious/depressed.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... The impacts of locking under 16 yos from their social media networks are now beginning to bite for those young people who relied on them for social connection

People currently spluttering that you can't criticise Starmer for things Peter Mandelson did are the same people who spent several years treating antisemitic tweets from anonymous 50-follower accounts like they were press releases direct from Labour head office.

Alex Massie trumped up a fake campaign in the times to claim hundreds of rape convictions for women in the justice system were actually trans women despite the numbers covering several hundred more convictions than there are trans women in prison for any crime.

#hobbystreak Day 1997: hit my birth year in days of painting done! Remembered I still have this pick that I haven't attached yet, painted the metal up a bit on that and did some small highlights on the smaller details like the clamps holding the skulls in base on the spikes

i continue to be very amused that they think we don't want to be around unvaccinated folks during record-breaking measles outbreaks because we're 'offended'

A lot of "golden age" science fiction has interesting ideas and workman-like-at-best prose, and Asimov was no exception to this. He and many other GA SF writers benefitted from "first-mover" status, and also, editors who preferred neat SF concepts (and men) over exceptional prose (and women).

Yup. This is also why I get annoyed when people start suggesting "golden age" science fiction titles to people who are new the genre and are asking for suggestions. You want to turn a modern 15-year-old off science fiction forever, recommend stories that were old when her grandparents were her age.

this post never fails to crack me up

#hobbystreak Day 1996: quick highlights done on the metal areas, maybe needs some extra wearing down or shading

sure you might have seen my name in the big pdf that got released titled “list of draculas currently operating in the united states.” here’s why that’s NOT a big deal:

EVERYONE KNEW FFS

mandelson downfall has the same feeling of the weinstein one where he was so famous for Being Like This that it was part of his widely known public persona so the entire media theatre around it makes you feel completely insane

Funny to see people still pretend that Jewish settlers make up a miniscule segment of Israeli society when a little more than 1 in 10 Israeli Jews live in occupied territory, the supermajority of the army is stationed in occupied territory, and settlers sit in cabinet and on the court.

#hobbystreak Day 1995: nearing the end of the model, skin got a quick wash and highlight. Really like how smooth it looks on the face. Think I just need to do some work and touchups on the metal areas and I might be able to move onto the base?

it costs zero dollars to check the color of my own piss

dawg the pedophiles are unionizing
