If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." - J. R. R. Tolkien

I have sleep apnea. It was making my life so hard. I now have a CPAP machine and can function again plus reduced chance of stroke and heart attack. I was on a waiting list for 1+ year, so get checked now. (Severe sleep apnea is about 30+ episodes per hour. I averaged 67 in testing! 😱)

Churchill + Attlee was an incredible leadership combo. They complimented each other's wartine strengths and weaknesses, and both were self-aware enough to know it. THAT was what made the National Government work.

Gutted that we've lost Walter Koenig

Didn't realise you had cats, @craigfarrell.bsky.social

The theme tune to Champion just makes me happy

Peter Davison as Campion, from 1989.

Burnham is doing what Starmer should have done. He is making the case that Brexit hasn't worked, saying what his own view is, and explaining what the likely choices are, and where the ownership of decisions will rest. Ie proper grown up politics for the first time in years

Pretty much finished.

me: mom, what was I like as a little girl? my mom (completely fucking braindead): hey alexa describe a human kid or something

if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

Ok I am definitely sold on oil wash as part of the normal process. Here is a before and after. And I can still fine tune the final result

1. Red Box D&D 2. Cyberpunk 3. Rolemaster 4. WFRP 5. Call of Cthulhu (2nd ed box I think) I might have 4 and 5 mixed up

"a distinctively British approach to artificial intelligence"

Last One Laughing is SENSATIONAL Reece Shearsmith made me laugh so hard it triggered an angina attack.

I still don't know what these paints are *for* How are they different to normal acrylics or contrasts or washes?

My edition!

Woke up this morning to a phone call from James Blunt accusing me of being a Traitor.

Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

Medicine The air in cities Care and support for SEND children in schools Home entertainment Car safety Paints for miniatures Model kits Food choice in shops

IN TONIGHT'S EPISODE James Blunt accuses the scrambled eggs of being a traitor.

Loving these new kits. Massive presence

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my duty to inform you that GW have discovered bastardry of a level heretofore undreamt of by man Repeating a sprue number IN THE SAME KIT

Same, Murderbot, same

James Blunt: "A monkey did it!"

I’ll tell you what. The first Genoese banker who sets up stall in my city with a lockbox and absolutely no website is getting ALL of my money instantly.

James Blunt is half an hour away from accusing Claudia, god bless him.

KICKSTARTER IS LIVE LET'S GOOOOOO! Civilian Dutch Resistance of WW2 in hand sculpted pewter casts? Yes please! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bad...

Why is this student so upset about the mushroom, though? What could it have done to make her protest across the whole continent

Last day of the half term.

‘Wildwood’ director Travis Knight on AI: “A pencil is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A 3D printer is a tool. A digital capture is a tool. AI is not a tool. AI can go fuck itself.”

Really important, on Trafalgar Day, to observe that there are both women and black people included in this image. It's not anachronistic or "woke" to tell their stories, and ignoring them is doing a disservice not only to those people but also to their contemporaries who made sure they were seen.

Visionquest is absolutely stunning. Fabulous writing and performances.

Diorama of Himeji castle. (Taken from Twitter, made by @siro_fukugen). All parts 3D printed. A 1-yen coin is 20mm in diameter. Took 18 months to make apparently.

God I love Bad Company Psychedelic Apocalypse Now

I think it always bears repeating that this psychedelic existential sci-fi war epic ran when 2000AD was still pretty unambiguously sold as a "kids comic". I certainly grew up taking it for granted that this was just what comics were like.

Words cannot express how much I love this episode

Happy Trafalgar Day!

Today I learned that the first 29 or so of the "Lone Wolf" books (choose-your-own-adventure style books, where you have stats and keep track of your equipment and such) were made available free online by the author: www.projectaon.org/en/Main/Books

Although this is a fair point, it doesn't change the fact that Roger Moore Bonds are The Best

One thing fans often overlook: franchises evolve, but so do audiences. What captivated you at 10 won't hit the same at 30. You see the generational divide in Star Trek, Star Wars and James Bond. People tend to be most attached to the version that shaped their first (often young) impression.
