All vending machines should feature Behind the Bastards ads

Well that was stressful…

This. Until recently the rich and powerful could imagine they were beloved, and exposure to the contrary rotted their brains and radicalised them via the only folk that kept on cheering.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

If this is what it took for you to be pushed into fascism you were probably already there

Oh sure, they’re not world beaters, but Clarke has 1 move, even against Belarus, and one would suspect, we’ll get to the tournament stage and it’ll go as well under him as the last 2 attempts did. Just a miserable watching experience. Hell the host thanked the audience for sticking with it at HT 😝

I mean, most of the team play in England or Italy, and some of the weaker selection points are Clarke’s steadfast refusal to move away from the same guys he’s been using for years. The narrative that it takes a miracle to qualify is old hat now, particularly with much bigger tournaments

‘We’re worried customers want to drink Coke, so we’re going to offer them Diet Caffeine Free Coke.’

Masterful strategy.

Stand by my view Clarke should have left after the Euros. Utterly miserable stuff to watch and it’ll never get any better.

Until his electricity gets cut off…

Thanks both! Plus it should give it a bit more contrast when I add the black stripes to the hull…

Scott B @tsukurupaints.bsky.social · 7d

In my head, this should all be Wraithbone, and that should clearly be bone coloured, not black? So here we are.

Ignore the gloss coating, just protecting it before I need to add markings / decals!

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

So far this week, back pain, rib pain and a migraine for my trouble.

Better be on the up from here…

Scott B @tsukurupaints.bsky.social · 10d

Sweet!

Apparently Hamilton limped to the end, no brakes, holding off Alonso on the line?

Wasn’t worth seeing I guess.

It’s to replace everything that isn’t toiling for our billionaire overlords, essentially

I’d guess everything but the sport games is gone, and those will get full priced, but barely any different, updates from here on out

Yeah, Lords rejecting it is probably the best chance of killing it. Though he could just flood the chamber with heaps of new Lords first…

Given they ignored the 6 million that signed the Brexit one, I expect they’ll sadly crack on regardless…

Honestly it just seems to be trial and error your way to the right thinness of paint and having a decent aim. I have an old Aggressor marine that gets paint spray on him as a test near constantly haha

Scott B @tsukurupaints.bsky.social · 21d

Most definitely

The vibe I was going for was ‘90’s TVR’ and I reckon I’ve nailed it.
