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.

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
@burgerdrome if a form of music exists beyond a single person interested in it - if there's any form of community at all - then by definition it must be good. Even if there's a kind of music that's fun to make but not listen to, as an extreme example: if people enjoy making it, it is creating joy in the world.
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.
