This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

This is my absolute favorite WWII story
This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis.
He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden.
(After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

My Red Corsairs are all on industrial/Necromunda bases so if I were to get this new version I'd definitely try converting the rock out of there. Kitbashed my own Huron several years ago but my Hamadrya is cuter.

I love that Wikipedia's edit history is public because it only takes two clicks to get to the very first version of the "ant" article in its entirety from 2001. Happy 25th birthday Wikipedia! You've come so far

West, a greyshield from the Indominus campaign who somehow ended up with the Mantis Warriors. Nobody knows which legion's gene-seed he has but his squadmates are pretty sure he's an Ultramarine. #Nerdlings #40k

This morning I had to get up early to teach winter coding camp. As I came out of the bedroom, Dexy immediately froze in place on his wheel. I had to tell him it was me before he relaxed. I wondered if he was going to hide away, knowing I was up and about, but he kept running as I ate breakfast. 🐹

I had a dream last night that a lost localization of Gundam ‘79 was discovered where not much was changed other than Char’s name being Cherry Lip Balm. Also for some reason Bright was voiced by Ed Asner.

Lucian Upholsterous is one of the few followers of Slaanesh on the Axe of Rage. He has an uneasy truce with captain Fang Rockbones, or as heretek Oxhaw Gunn said "you could cut the sexual tension with a chainsword". Carries a baroque power axe that he claims is a demon weapon. #Nerdlings #40k

I talk about this when I teach translation, but the choice to keep a word in its native language must be deliberate--and not simply to exoticize.
