I sit in office chairs I can just about afford. I need a new one every few years because they gradually collapse beneath me. My wife's Herman Miller is older than my last three Staples chairs, bought by an ex-employer and sold cheap in the liquidation, and will still be intact years from now.

okay now he's gone too far

Just beat a possessed nun to death with an aspergillum while a taxidermied crocodile stalked the corridors of the abbey. Otherwise, not much. you? #FinalGirl

Thanks to all the tortoise shell Persian cats for their patience with us during this difficult time.

Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan

Not being able to comment on your post does *not* prevent me telling you to STAY OUT OF THE WOOLSWORTH!

The truth is, I can’t really take The Odyssey seriously. It never once mentions Odysseus being a Dapper Dan man, and straying from the source material so wildly just kept me from being immersed in it.

#FinalGirl I’m 0 for 6 on Station 2891 (homage to “The Thing”). You have to do all the things on a map that’s working against you, and fast: save victims, test, find weapons. It especially sucks when you draw the card that discards a Test Kit nearest you. It hates me. So try it on the USS Konrad!

#FinalGirl vs. the Evomorph! Which hasn’t managed to evo OR morph because I’ve spent the game running ahead and it and herding victims into escape pods. There is no rule for if the hatchling runs out of Terror cards without having killed anything. I HAVE BROKEN FINALGIRL! I AM QA ROYALTY!

“We don’t have AC in Seattle because we don’t really need it.” The time is wrong, it’s only 6:30pm, but still too freaking hot for a living room.

The air’s begun to taste of metal

At ye Ren Faire, struggling to avoid making eye contact with a minotaur.

Proud to announce our HARDSHIP FUND: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun... If you've been recently laid off and need support, we got you.

Just played my first game of Final Girl Evomorph! I had beginner’s luck with hot dice and a straight shot to the loader, soooo. Super fun. I won with Ellen. I didn’t recognize Vasquez in Jenette — good 80/20 joke — but did think she reminded me of John Conner’s foster mom. Wtf, brain. #finalgirl

I'm trying to divest from FB and got the big dump of all my media. It's quick and easy, and practically the only thing that site has done well in about six years. Such memories! Here is Chase from my iAnimate class. #3danimation

You're laughing? Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham are in hell being sewn together into a human centipede and you're laughing?

I ran from one end of the the house to t'other at 12:02am, to make sure my wife knew one of the worst people in America was gone. Had to preempt it though: "Trump's fine. And it's not Mitch. BUT IT'S A GOOD ONE."

I respect Erik's persnicketiness about letting someone define terms without consensus. It's like when someone introduces a bad naming convention and you have to repeat it over and over for the sake of moving forward. Shiver. Also, corrections aside, I love the explanation of inverse square falloff.

The best edit I’ve seen in weeks, you absolutely have to turn the sound on for this one.

I finally got an expansion for #FinalGirl! This is the one based on Terminator 2, where Sarah Conner is trying to save John from being murdered in the mall but ten minutes after the opening credits the T100 shows up and kills him and the rest of the film is about regret.

I finished Dakota's gigs, but was not psyched about whatever she might give me as a parting gift because it would certainly not be a fast car. And it's not. But the truck is decent, and I just pulled up to the Aldecados camp in terrain-appropriate wheels for the first time ever! #cyberpunk

I don’t post a lot of WIPs but I’ve been painting this thing all week and I’m getting lost in the subassemblies:

I'm a traditional gamer and would have turned down the Peralezes had they proposed a threesome, but it's pretty galling that they never even offered. #cyberpunk

Imagine having Bungie -- Bungie, the studio that made Marathon and Halo and Destiny and Marathon, that level of generational talent, one of the best teams to ever do it, consistently, for 30 years -- and not knowing what to do with them. Then imagine firing nearly 300 of them. Clownshow shit.

Here’s my Snazzwagon’s larger subassemblies. Ork painters, is it overkill? I’ve never painted a 40k vehicle, but my instinct for max-tabletop paint quality is to reduce the inaccessible areas. Maybe it doesn’t matter, maybe it’s all just shadowy grime anyway. #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k

Making quick and simple Bake Results and Delete Layers buttons have sped me up absurdly. It's not even so much the time it takes to hunt and click through the UI, but the interruption of flow. #3danimation #techart

I painted the Echoes of Death Necromancer for #KingdomDeath! I love KDM survivor minis, they're beyond top of the line, but they all want a unique color scheme and the OSL stresses me out. Time to change gears and work from recipes for a bit. #miniaturepainting

I painted the Echoes of Death 4 Boxer for #KingdomDeath! It's been like trying to paint miniatures in a tumble dryer this year. Everything is so distracting, I tend to just play video games or go back to work. I hope I'm starting to climb out of it. #miniaturepainting

I'd bet good money that CDPR disabled NPCs in photo mode for this shot, so people wouldn't put Nibbles the Cat next to Reed and post on social media with the caption: "war. War never changes."

Me, watching Widow's Bay: "Sarah looks SO much like Betty Gilpin." Later: "She must get all the roles Betty Gilpin turns down." Later: "I have to look her up. I'll be shocked if she isn't Betty Gilpin's sister." Turns out the number one reason she looks like Betty Gilpin is, she's Betty Gilpin.

Corpo netrunner V *definitely* would. I'm just taking my role-playing seriously. #cyberpunk
