my new obsession is having Warhammer 40K history videos playing in the background all day and every other day my wife asks why I don't just play a game or buy some models if I like it so much and I dunno how to explain that in the grim darkness of the far future there is only lore
Sometimes you can get satisfaction from doing something small and relatively unimportant in the grand scheme of things #Nerdlings

Having read @russincheshire.bsky.social's series of posts on Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane I swung by his memorial in Culross in Fife to have a look for myself. bsky.app/profile/russ...
Russ Jones@russincheshire.bsky.social · 2y agoJust for fun, let me tell you about somebody you've probably never heard of, but who was once one of the most famous people in England, a national hero, a disgraced fraudster, and an astonishingly accomplished piratical maniac. He led quite a life. (1/53)

Andy Clark, Nerdling Herder@andycruns.bsky.social · 6d agoIt’s Friday at last, I’m about 70% sure that’s true. Anyway, this week the theme is…bonk. So let’s see hammers, twatting sticks, etc. As usual I’ll repost the lot, and if you like something, share it! #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday
Some more nostalgia from the 90’s for the old and the old at heart. #Nerdlings #oldhammer #warhammercommunity #whitedwarf
Wee trip to Leven shore this morning. It was bright and sunny, if a bit on the windy side.
Quite pleased with this old metal Reaper Miniatures dwarf I did ages ago. I like to think that I caught his "don't meddle wi' me, laddie" expression. #Nerdlings
Sonic Sledgehammer@sonicsledgehammer.bsky.social · 6d agoIt isn't yet the end of the week, but who doesn't want some more good vibes around the place? Do me a little favour!

Dr. Jeroen W.P. Wijnendaele@drdragases.bsky.social · last wk.No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
