And a third #BloodBowl rando, one I've actually played in the video game:

For the Murderbliss Heartrenders, it's the Witch Elf, #9, Trixie Murder!

I don't think her teammates have room to paint their number on their ass, but Trixie didn't give me many other options.

I painted this Skaven Gutter Runner for #BloodBowl. For the Verminox Rathearts, it's #12 (though he *thinks* 13), Skabis Plaquepaw!

It's weird to enjoy painting a gutter runner. It's like enjoying incubating a COVID virus.

I painted some Blood Bowl randos that spoke to me, from their place on my shelf where I've been ignoring them for years. They deserve better!

First up, this stalwart Amazon Linewoman of the Ratcitoctl Raincats, #3 Extri Yaretzi!

Thanksgiving dinner was a Sunday roast, with parsnips and carrots and potatoes and Yorkshire puddings and gravy. It turned out OK; but I was on my feet for most of the afternoon, juggling food through a single oven and washing every dish twice, and at the end, it’s a bit cold. Enh. Overrated.

Mais oui monsieur, our artisan palette paper is produced right here on the floor, measured and cut on the finest office mat.

I painted another little Fire Warrior, because that mix of blue and green is my other obsession. I'm up to a whole four of these now! For the Greater Good, In Strict Moderation. #WarhammerCommunity #miniaturepainting

I painted a test Guardsman! I guess I want a combat patrol box that looks cool on a shelf. I'm not sure what the unit is called or which logo to use, but I'm enjoying that AK Faded Green and need to tackle myself to keep from using it everywhere. #WarhammerCommunity #miniaturepainting

Happy Man Day! This should happen on Monday.
If you would like some TV that shows off some men characters with nuances:

- Great Pottery Throwdown
- Monty Don’s Big Dreams, Small Spaces
- Culinary Class Wars

I painted the Blood Bowl Troll -- but obviously, this is #8, STINKY 'ENRY, Big Guy for the 'Eadkrakk 'Eavies. The goblin had a name, but is dead now. #bloodbowl #miniaturepainting

I just spent all night taking photos of my Blood Bowl troll, stacking and blending in Photoshop, and just realized the whole mini is slathered in static grass.

No spoilers for Leviathan Falls, an almost six year-old book, but it would be amusing and murderously obnoxious if the book ends mid-sentence and the rest of the binding is filled with blank pages. Elvi is working through the problem of aliens learning to shut off human consciousness, when sud

Wishlists for the next republic:

Strictly representational government, no senate.

Term limits on judges.

Budget not met, trigger an election like Canada does.

Short election cycles. Two months max. Funds for all candidates who hit ballot percentages.

Ranked choice voting.

wtf? I’d be happy to accept there was more to the production of the Coke commercial than prompt and publish, but much of the evidence meant to evoke studios full of human artists is a lie.
All the emotions you need for a character to feel fully fleshed out - smiling slightly while looking to the left, smiling slightly while looking to the right, smiling slightly while closing your eyes and facing left.

I use shallots, tomato paste, and Top Ramen, but this is a wonderful way to elevate ramen into something like an edible hug. It's easy, filling, and cheap.
