Today's result and the army so far. #30k #40k #Warhammer #LegionsImperialis

4 stands of 8mm Iron Warriors and a Dreadnought

A little army of 8mm space marines. So sweet. So heretical.

If you have any love for the Asterix books I cannot recommend The Big Fight on Netflix enough. It perfectly captures the feel of the original books with updates in the cultural references gags. It's genuinely joyful.

Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.

Look what happenes when a TV show releases every year, with more than 8 episodes a season.

High potentioal breaks a ratings record.

America’s tipping culture is insane. Pay people what they’re worth in the first place. Tipping is a bonus to reward exceptional service, and shouldn’t be vital to prevent staff from starving.

And yes, I have worked a ‘service job.’

Pros and Cons of AI in my particular field of work:

CONS: Undermined the functionality of internet research, flooded search results with fake historical photos, buried our videos with content-mill imitators, made spell check and autocorrect unreliable, stolen my work to feed LLMs.

PROS: …

Some good advice.

Ask for consent before giving hugs though.

I know I've mentioned how it seems house spiders are massive this year but this is bloody ridiculous

So many angry ducks

To be fair wanking an entire choir takes enough dedication to make Roy Castle sing. Probably deserves an MBE at least.

As children, me and my brother found mum's sex aids that were hidden above the wardrobe. We thought they were toys and had a battle with them versus our He-Man and Zoids figures. I think they won. Mum quietly hide them somewhere else after that.
