the inevitable vect sculpt should be a Triumph of St. Katherine style diorama of bodyguards, advisors, and hangers-on trying to get Vect out of a poster bed

Haven’t seen any of them yet but I have seen clips from all the Best Picture nominees. Of everything I have seen Anora has had a vibe that seems unique. The freshness and cleverness of the snippets makes me want to see it.

The rest seem utterly predictable. Not sure if that’s right or wrong.

Simply brilliant.

A friend’s wife left for a work trip this entire week, leaving him to play. He’s very pleased with it.

I am committed to Stellaris.

Best starter module ever. I understand the financial reasons why Gary changed things to B2 but this was my first module and I love it dearly.

There is more truth in this meme than anyone in Ham Radio wants to admit…

The trap door spiders of loneliness are out there, desperately looking to work that new callsign.

Prehistoric #baby feeding vessels: marvellous feeding vessels in the shape of #animals from Vösensorf and Oberleis, Austria, dating 1200-800 BC.
Baby bottles in the shape of animals are common in late Bronze and early Iron Age Europe.

Took Sydney to the vet this week for a routine visit. A month ago I noticed she has a fatty tumor that’s growing under her skin along her stomach. They tested it and yesterday got the call that it’s benign.

Hooray!

Oh Bandai Spirits, why must there be only one more Jumbo Machinder coming this year. I love Mazinger Z, I really do.

But the well is so deep and has so many other non-Mazinga/Mazinger choices.

Eugene Volkh comes to mind. His work led to the SCOTUS Blog which has been brilliant since its inception.

Walking past those new Eldar models was not easy…

But no pre-orders were made.

Someone believes she will be getting some pizza bones shortly…

“Tell your Lord I look forward to buying his new miniatures.”

“The Anjin ignores the thousands of unpainted miniatures he possesses and seeks a brief hit of serotonin to assuage his grief and impotent rage that he truly lays in a bed of his own making.

That is why he will buy two of all of them.”

Passed the amateur radio technician test today.

This does not mean I will be getting vanity plates with my call sign for my truck.

Same goes for getting an 8 foot antenna.

🤣

Sydney got to go up front in the #oscarmayerwienermobile and fulfill a life long dream.

Find someone who looks at you the way Sydney looks at the stray piece of juicy pork chop I took off the plate.

A friend shared his painting area last night on a Zoom call with several of us. Then he walked into the modeling room and showed us the benches where he does kit bashing and assembly.

It was… gorgeous.

😳

You’re good people.

Classless and needlessly cruel.

Nonverbal Holiday.

The Ghosts, Past/Present/Future, of “What I want for Xmas.”

My Top Secret game has been delayed again. (My fault this time.) I need to look at the calendar and see what dates will work to resume.
