I still can't add this profile but here's my updated Linktree 😁

I'm on tumblr and stuff if you like looking at the minis I paint but are tired of me ranting about capitalism and fascism 🤣

I've removed my X account as it's now defunct but I'll add new links as they come 😊

Quickly painted up September's free miniature; one of the Kharadron Overlords - similar design to the Harpoon Crew

The steampunk dwarves are a cool vibe but I definitely prefer the minis that lean into the steampunk aesthetic more. Fun to paint though; I'll never turn down a free mini 🤣

I feel like if you had to ban social media for any group of people for their own protection, you should probably start with people over 60.

It’s bullshit. They platformed him to high levels even before his polling was this high.

TheBossRoss @thebossross.bsky.social · 10h

The BBC's justification for platforming Farage beyond the actual significance of his small parliamentary party are his polls. A rather cynical explanation, for he wouldn't be where he is without the constant, uncritical appearances he's given on the BBC. It's a (literally) vicious circle.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I have a zero AI policy. Do not contact me if you use AI art. I will not work with or support games, companies & etc who use it.

No this isn’t a “I hate ai because it’s cool too” post. This is an I’m an artist, environmentalists, and I’ll use my own brain, post. I prefer humans and real art.

Can anyone recommend a book / collection of decent fantasy backdrops for miniature pics / D&D?

Ideally, a range of locations (cave, forest, city etc)

Thanks in advance, #nerdlings
