Warhammer, Transformers, Tabletop RPGs, assorted nerd stuff. I wanted to be a Social Justice Mystic Theurge, but turned out a Social Justice Commoner.

I've not actually said this on my account here, on account of it being underused, but:
Queerphobes, transphobes, genocide apologists, racists and Tories of every stripe (explicitly including Reform and Republicans) can go straight to hell.
Do not pass go, do not collect £200.

Every time I hear the voice, I start thinking he should have purple hair and strong opinions on warp core noises.

Mr "FaZe Rug" here (And yes, I am mocking his handle while using this user name) has somehow made the best advert I have ever seen against the concept of computer gaming; the concept of voice-activated AI assistants; and somehow also the concept of online shopping.
It is devastatingly hollow.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are coming to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I doubt anybody in the world would be surprised, but it really is a hell of an indictment of Mark Zuckerberg's character that you can have the moral high ground over him while being Nick Clegg
“Meta stalled internal efforts to prevent child predators from contacting minors for years due to growth concerns, and pressured safety staff to circulate arguments justifying its decision not to act.”

A spider big as death and twice as ugly.
I tried importing some Shadow ships but wasn't happy with any of them, so decided to model my own. Didn't take long and I think it's pretty accurate! Next job is to recreate that desert planet scene again. 👇 #Blender3D

Ngl if you’re a leftist who is still a part of the whole ‘anti-proship’ ‘anti-problematic fiction’ ‘anti-kink’ movements: you need to grow the fuck up.
It’s worrying to see so many queer artist blindly repeat conservative talking points/insults without even realizing it.

In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
