whenever I am forced to look at LinkedIn I can only imagine that I have the contorted, screaming face of someone who is in a fantasy movie and is looking deeper and deeper into The Cursed Orb or whatever and refusing to let go even though it's obviously killing them. with each turn of the scroll wheel I sink a little deeper into the madness, feeling myself overwhelmed by the slick achievements of others, my blood boiling at the midwit business insights of the rest. then just as suddenly it is gone and I can breathe again, and I remember my family loves me, and there is hope for a better world

Been smashing out some models for D&D lately using quick and dirty contrast paint jobs, which has been fun! We’ve got a Reaper Bones giant (terrible model. shithouse), a 3D printed troll, and a squad of WHFB ogres which I have kitbashed together to all have unique weapon options for better D&D games. Stay tuned!

5 different beefy ogres with brutish weapons and bad attitude!!

implementing a new machine learning feature where a silicon valley investor gives me $10,000 and I use it to buy a new gaming "machine" and the investor "learns" that they shouldn't have done that

a muscular half-orc's impressive junk and bright red underpants are visible out of focus in the background of this scene. he is standing behind a leather-clad, blood-stained man who is on his knees.
a nude, muscular half-orc's with fantastic musculature and bright red underpants kneels on the floor in front of an evil priestess. he is wearing a fucked-up rumpled old wizards hat.

our Environment Minister has successfully argued that she's not legally required to consider the climate change impact of her decisions, and our Prime Minister is busy evicting tenants from one of his (many) rental properties. at this point if you vote for the Australian Labor Party I am going to actively shout at you

A man says he was blindsided when his landlord, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, sent him an eviction notice. Mr Albanese says he is within his rights to sell the property, and was a good owner. What's next? The tenant has asked the prime minister to be more considerate of renters during a cost of living crisis. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has defended his record as a landlord after a man renting from Mr Albanese says he was caught out by an eviction notice he says does not match the government’s rhetoric on renting. Sydney man Jim Flanagan says he has lived in Mr Albanese's Dulwich Hill property for four years but received a termination letter last week saying the property could soon be sold. Speaking on ABC Radio Melbourne, Mr Flanagan accepted his landlord Mr Albanese had the right to do as he pleased, but questioned whether Mr Albanese had considered his position. He said he was not seeking to ambush the prime minister but had privately sought clarification after receiving the termination letter and not receiving a response.

what about this: Supertramp's "Dreamer" but instead it's "Streamer" to indicate that the person is a content creator. a seamless modern update? much to think about

everyday life in 2024 is looking out the window and seeing that something is happening, then turning on the news and being told that not only is the thing not happening, but if you think it is happening you are a piece of shit. a few minutes later a company bills you for $400

If I was the Australian Government I would simply abrogate myself of any responsibility for media regulation of any kind and repeatedly de-fund every public broadcaster I could get my hands on. Then I would complain when the private sector decided it was not profitable to provide news to my citizens! Truly this is a project that I, a collection of the smartest idealogues alive and an exclusive group of Society's Betters, would embark upon.

the tumblr CEO losing his mind over Operation Car Hammer Explosion has reminded me of the time on Twitter that I said "Oh, fuck offff" to famous fantasy author RA Salvatore and he was so offended that he sent a DM to the other person in the conversation to check if my account had been hacked because there was no other reason for using such language

Tumblr's moderators falsely flagged a trans woman's completely clothed and non-sexual pre- and post-transition photos as 'explicit content' and refused to rescind the ban, so she posted that she hopes the CEO "dies a painful death involving a car covered in hammers that explodes multiple times and the hammers go everywhere". The CEO of Tumblr is currently having a very public and extended meltdown about this, and is claiming that the Wile E. Coyote ass scenario of CEO Car Hammer Explosion was a "credible death threat" which required the intervention of the FBI and has banned the woman in question. He has spent the last few hours being Definitely Not Mad Online in all of the comments and replies. Truly incredible next levels of Silicon Valley Bro brain

Trying very hard to remain graceful and sanguine as, yet again, my faithful dog, approaching fourteen wonderful years of age, her back legs shot to hell, squats down with great difficulty to take a big dump on the lawn, but 10 seconds into the process spots one of her previous poops from earlier that day and clumsily springs towards it with terrifying speed to swallow it whole, spraying the shit she is currently blasting out of her rear end everywhere and ending up lying sideways in a big tangle on the lawn, smacking her lips and crunching noisily in delight as the dried turdbiscuit goes down the throat to be recycled again for me to deal with in another 12 to 18 hours
