The website for 38-year-olds leans forward in its chair

You can't fool me, that's the Warden of Shawshank

God, I love Morse. John Thaw was 45 in this which makes me feel a lot better about how I look. (As an aside, gutted I can't enjoy Lewis any more. Wanker)

One of the most incredible things ever put on telly.

"Dress for the job you want, not the job you have, in the New Year," work said. So now I'm sat in a HR meeting dressed as Theoden, son of Thengel, King of Rohan.

'Discourse' we need to go back to calling wank wank.

Another snow day

And that's the armour and air support finished and magnetised. #LegionsImperialis #IronWarriors IRON WITHIN

This is Monday's #RandomWhiteDwarfCover Issue 75. March 1986

As I'm sure you're aware, the fifth of January is the day of the Schnabelperchten, a creature of Austrian folklore who will check your house for cleanliness. If they decide you haven't done a good enough job, they'll slit open your belly and fill it with straw. Happy New Year..!

i would suggest an online safety act that can’t deal with CSAM on a widely used social network frequented by most westminster public figures isn’t doing a very good job of keeping anybody safe online

School closed due to snow

Back to work!

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

I'm desperate to get the new Grand theft Auto when it comes out but would feel like a scab given their anti union standpoint. Currently trying to work out how to shoplift it as it's the only moral way to get it.

London in the good old days - before everyone's feet pointed forwards.

Dick Cheney would be loving this

Granted Maduro is a *touch* older than the usual people kidnapped and transported across borders for Trump to fuck, but you can't fault him for consistency.

Now that they’ve started a war I’ve completely forgotten that they’re pedophiles.

My partner wonders why our toddler prefers me, it's simple just sit on the floor while they play and PUT YOUR FUCKING PHONE DOWN

not the kind of behavior I expect from the winner of the fifa peace prize

Finished my infantry!

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Yer actual blizzard out there, lads.

So what is it... he would say that he does there?

Our telly blew up today, so I did the sensible thing and bought a 65" MiniLED new one. This works particularly well as we watched Fellowship of the Ring last night so the first proper test of the new panel will be The Two Towers

Still chunking away at my #LegionsImperialis army. Only two more bases of infantry to go then on to the fast attack.

Well it sounds terrible when you put it like that!

'Don't forget that I'm enabling nonces, too!' says Zuckerberg.

Why can’t she use tinsel?

Having Grok “apologise” for creating CSAM is like punching someone in the face and then having the Sooty puppet on your fist apologise.

"Morse nodded sagely and tried to ooze omniscience." Colin Dexter there, describing me in every meeting ever.

Petition to rename Grok “Mecha-Epstein”

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

See, Andy knows where it's at! The thought of committing to painting one thing a month absolute terrifies me, so I ain't doing that. I do love buying stuff though, so I'm gonna aim to make one purchase from an indie each month. We all up for that?

Anyone had any experience with Daggerheart #TTRPG? Because the system looks like it could have been designed for me to run.

On this day in 1972, episode one of Day of the Daleks was broadcast.
