Here’s a wee man having a wee. One of the 28mm Foundry SYW Prussian grenadiers set.

Silliness. Authors I’ve read recently that were definitely male: Julian Barnes Rick Atkinson Ian McEwan Mick Herron There are tons of male coded books out there if dudes want to litmax. But, I’ve also recently read and enjoyed: Monica Byrne Arkady Martine Marilynne Robinson Just read, lads.

My fav part of Nolan’s Odyssey was Chickphemus, the Greek-gobbling poultrytaur.

On the one side, an American living in Montreal and working as a photo engraver, with bad lungs from getting gassed in the war, married to a cranky Scottish widow in her third marriage. On the other, a shellshocked English Hoover salesman and bigamist with two families.

Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?

Sunflower or alien life form?

When the execs discover Pasolini’s Canterbury Tales it will blow their tiny minds!

Hookland is a place of reenchantment that I’ve come to enjoy visiting, and this is a wonderful tribute to it.

Two nights ago I could not sleep, I closed my eyes and suddenly was transported to #hookland When I opened my eye, my head was filled with a simple, haunting melody: I dedicate this to @hookland.bsky.social & @skionar.bsky.social and all those who make these processions for us. #folklore

#TerrierTuesday #BTPosse Brodie and Beatrix on Sunday watching the final and unimpressed with Argentina.

This might barely qualify for #navalwargaming but there is the board and the remnants of the box of the classic Avalon Hill game that I’ve had since I was in high school. /1

Ok kid let’s blow this thing and go home.

So I really liked The Odyssey. So different from the Ray Harryhausen films that I grew up with. Not interested in the mythical monsters so much as in the human monsters that haunt memory and psyche. It’s central question, why doesn’t the soldier want to go home, seems apt for our times.

I’ve had a chance to “push” some figures around the table with these WW2 rules and they are fun with some interesting concepts and mechanics. I’ve posted a review and some thoughts here: #wargaming madpadrewargames.blogspot.com/2026/07/gett...

Hello darlings, we've got a new set available, and it's branching out into new territory for me, WWII ground action. Yay! It has lots of extra stuff, like two mini campaigns and yes, a 109 page unit database. Autism, am I right? Thanks for looking, Patricia❤️ www.wargamevault.com/en/product/5...

What a tanker! (IFYYK) 😜 Newly painted 1/300 scale Skytrex resin and metal tanker for use in Torpedoes and Tides games. #navalwargaming

Incoming fire in the great postcard war. I suspect that @tyrellmayfield.bsky.social had something to do with this.

Late night brush spree got these fellows over the finish line and ready for the Basing Depot. 10 28mm Prussian Jaegers from the Foundry SYW range.

Sky over Collingwood, Ontario is a dismal yellow and the air is acrid. Shelved the daily dog park trip and the gardening. It’s all rather terrifying. #wildfires

Brodie (L) and Beatrix (R) on their gotcha days two years apart. Brodie is now 4 and a half and Bea is now 2 and a half and we couldn’t imagine life without them. #BTPosse #TerrierTuesday #GotchaDay

I love this gloriously messy and crowded garden. For our first year here I just wanted to see what the previous owners had left us and it is wonderfully chaotic. I just thinned out the lemon balm and planted some tomatoes and herbs. #gardenstuff

For my son and his trans partner.

So minions are immortal, immoral, and even ontologically evil. So basically cute and annoying fallen angels.

William B. Fuckley@opinionhaver.bsky.social · last mo.

really the question is whether minion genocide is acceptable or not, given their drive to work for ontological evil

Love your neighbour isn’t in the creeds but is foundational. Show hospitality to the stranger isn’t in the creeds but is integral to the faith. Matthew 25 isn’t in the creeds but is fundamental to Christian ethics. Honestly if this guy showed up in my parish I would kick him to the curb.

Vance: People hang out those hideous signs in their yard that say, "in this house we believe blah blah blah blah blah. You know, love is love, science is science, whatever. No person is illegal." That sign is such a disgusting butchering of the Nicene Creed

A realtor friend has given me a few weeks to salvage plants from the garden of a derelict house before it’s all bulldozed.

To be fair to AI, Ford’s cars were shite long before. Speaking as a 2000 Ford Focus owner with a gazillion recalls.

Dare Obasanjo@carnage4life.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.
