crazy that they made a water fireplace

Been having trouble writing today due to the world being... like that. So instead I will make a thread with some pictures of my old Warhammer/Warmaster models/armies/conversions that I found. If that's not your thing, feel free to mute, I am just going nostalgic here and remembering good feelings.

Only the fact that my gender identity is iffy makes me avoid getting into the whole women don't wargame debate... (that and that my wargame walk-in closet is a mess and my old warhammer miniatures are packed up)

Don't let copaganda fool you – police violence is not tied to their safety. The vast majority of police killings actually start with officers responding to a suspected non-violent situation or a case where no crime has been reported.

more generations need to discover M*A*S*H

That's why every fascist movement needs to build a victim identity for their peer group. Sound familiar?

This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

Echoing this to say that $1 a month to a creator whose work you like is equivalent to easily a thousand ad-supported views on their videos. Even a little bit of support makes a hugely outsized difference - pick your favourites and support where you can.

annual repost of Trashed Bathrooms

Bloom County is leaving Facebook and going subscriber only on Patreon and creator Berkley Breathed tells us why

Sometimes I check the steam reviews for Fallen Hero: Retribution, and sometimes they make me laugh because they sup up the game so well:

Commissioners and artists, be aware of this if you use the PayPal

Anthony Kiedes riding the Asian steppe with his fellow horse archers

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

Helen Mirren, by Colin Jones, from August 2nd 1970’s The Sunday Times Magazine.

There we go. That there’s a headline.

It's a snowMarco!

Hey everyone here is a quick update from Tess. I figured it would be easier to read this way than a bunch of posts.

I feel a strange need to repost this art. Sometimes art needs reposting y'know? Like this art. Did you know lionesses sometimes take out their males when the pride is under intense pressure? Apparently bees, ants, & termites do this too. #art Available as a print! www.inprnt.com/gallery/pala...

Please and for the love of God. Most of us left that blistering hellhole for a reason so maybe stop bringing that shit here and going “Y’ALL SEE THIS?!??” every other day because its usually never anything of value or worth to anyone and only serves to spread it’s influence and agitation even more

This story is terrific. A woman infiltrated a racist dating site, used chatbots to get info from horny incels, and then leaked it all. What are the odds one of the accounts on WhiteDate belongs to a White House staffer?

Destressing. youtu.be/ZI5mBS1jhjY?...

I think there's two basic dynamics underpinning shitty mob behavior online, and the Sky Marchini/Will Stancil stuff is an unfortunate example of each. The first is a feeding frenzy - when a post is over-interpreted or just straightforwardly misinterpreted, and especially when it escapes context.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

It is deeply immoral that cashiers in the US are not allowed to sit.

A shitpost so great Billy Joel actually heard about it

A very long and important THREAD - The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Made a new playlist

In a nutshell.

Thinking about AI as a way for the oligarchs to force the world into the same state of “truth is simply the dominant opinion” that politics and wall street and cable news operate on. Nobody has to worry anymore about the data and evidence and facts not backing them up. They need only worry that…

every time i see one scuttle across a path I'm reminded of this

Every now and then I see someone asking for recommendations of a GMless game to play. Well a bunch of us made a list, complete with explanations of why we thought each game was great, so you can decide for yourself. Don't see your favorite? Add it! www.reddit.com/r/gmless/com...

Reminder for everyone operating at situationally-diminished capacity.

Evergreen.

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.

I just went and checked, the same had happened to me! No wonder half my art feed was missing!

You know... It's finally dawning on me why I can't get anything fucking done. In what reality does a person wake up to FUCKING BATSHIT NEWS *every* fucking morning and want to do anything but numb the hell out just to try and make it through the day. In what fucking reality.

guys, "the judges at the ICC are being sanctioned by the USA and can't access their iphones or bank accounts" and "why aren't any countries banning twitter or prosecuting elon musk for owning a site that manufactures CSAM" stories are the same story

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

They fired all the generals who wouldn't go along, then they kicked all the reporters out of the Pentagon.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Whether attempting regime change in Venezuela is smart or just is not the question. Many will try to make it the question. The question is whether the President can start wars without the authorization of Congress. The question is whether the armed forces are still loyal to the Constitution.
