You know if we replaced the media word “controversy” with “whining” I think we’d get closer to the truth. Like there’s no controversy over Bad Bunny’s halftime show, MAGA types are just whiny racists

Pretty sure RFK Jr. does that twice a day and thinks we all should too though

I hear it but thankfully mine was earlier this week, so I'm good for a few years.

A thing to remember, and been enjoying your work as long as I've been able to watch it. Well done and thank you.

I mostly just need to figure out what to get so my kids can use my Xbox. But I've been pretty consoled out this generation

Game pass was honestly barely worth $20, and it's not worth 30.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

My mum dug out some old photographs.

This is the 28mm scale Warhammer 40k Gargant my brother and I made out of paper mache and kitchen refuse circa 1990.

You may not like it, but this is what ork performance looks like.

I haven’t finished my #BloodAngels or #Aeldari or #ImperialGuard and that’s why I’m starting on Votann. #warhammer40k #pileofshame

When you look at either the atomic scale or the stellar scale, almost everything is nothing.

Pointless meetings is the surefire identifier of someone who serves no use and only drags down their teams.

I love that it picked "Sale" signs to throw all over the place - when that's something that was, and still, absolutely anathema to Walmart. Their whole model is Everyday Low Price - it's the low price and that's it. No sales.

Also, Walmarts have always smelled like crap, and never like popcorn.

So who had the more inglorious death? Tasha Yar or Admiral Akbar?

Imagine if TNG's Encounter at Farpoint was made to match the music for it...

It wasn't very Starfleet of him, but it was very Sisko of him.
