Marianne, the French 2019 series on Netflix has a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. After one episode I’m not convinced it’s that great. Too many jump scare edits and flashy transitions for me. Naked seniors is a plus, tho!

Started Netflix subscription after a few years and damn the watch next episode progress bar fills faster than I can hit the back button on my remote.

Also great is the wife’s restless desire to go out, dance, and drink, despite being what, three-months pregnant? You do get the sense that she is not ready to confront motherhood at all. LOL

I love the muted color palette of this film. Also love that the main couple trust their instincts to leave but their hornyness keeps getting in the way.

Loved this one. Isn't it shot in the same villa as Blood for Dracula?

ICE threw me and other protestors to the ground on Friday because we dared to stand up for our neighbors. I’m okay, but our communities aren’t.

We can't afford apathy or inaction from our leaders right now. Abolishing ICE is a moral necessity.

I'm glad Ezra Klein wrote this, and he's totally right on the path forward. Because of his positioning as an establishment-friendly centrist liberal, maybe Dem leaders will listen, which would be great.

Aaron Huertas @aaronhuertas.bsky.social · Sep 7

Looks like Klein is also tired of getting gaslit by Democratic senators.

Painting is so satisfying, I hear ya. Glazing is my happy place.

Woodruff Coates @woodruffcoates.bsky.social · Sep 6

Today I painted up Rohan shields. I aim for table-top ready, but as soon as the magnifier glass turns on I'm locked into detail painting. I blame the gorgeous sculpts.

Those are fantastic! Love how the sides are diagonal; they bring a lot of momevent to the pieces. How are you making them?

I became way more invested in LL Cool J’s character that I thought.

After a day of painting I'm treating myself to homemade Tonkotsu Ramen w/ Shio seasoning and chilli oil. Special guest is Naked Noods from @viteramen.bsky.social. They're delicious!

Woodruff Coates @woodruffcoates.bsky.social · Aug 31

Thanks!

Woodruff Coates @woodruffcoates.bsky.social · Aug 31

It's hard for me to chart progress when batch coloring. Notice some capes are yellower than others. That's because instead of applying my 3rd glaze of Algae Green I got sidetracked on other parts of that model. When will the madness end?!

Some Rohan Warriors I’m racing to finish. My goal is to make each model tabletop‑ready, but I always get drawn into the details. Instead of applying Ruddy Brown to six models, I end up using six colors on a single model.

🤯 the base color ties all the unit types together so well!
Questions, if you don’t mind:
1: are those bases 3D printed? If so where?
2: Is the muted color-scheme in your photos post processing or actual paint colors? I really dig it!

Woodruff Coates @woodruffcoates.bsky.social · Aug 31

Worth it.

Woodruff Coates @woodruffcoates.bsky.social · Aug 30

The model’s paint job is beautiful but I’m loving that base color! Did you chose the color in accordance with the models color scheme, and not army as a whole?
