Sat down to watch Batman: The Animated Series since I’ve never seen all of it, just the odd episode on TV when I was growing up.

The show that gave us all noir and dark and moody visuals and tragic villains, made Freeze who we know today and introduced Harley Quinn.

And it starts with MAN BAT?!

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

Have just seen the new Superman movie. It is amazing and a beautiful watch. James Gunn carried over his eye for colour and ear for music from the Guardians of the Galaxy films.

Krypto is best boy.

my husband just sent me this
tumblr user nitewrighter says: Me: I don’t get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I’m like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it’s the fascism. You’re completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you’re also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you’re going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Before the week is out, I'd like to highlight a news story I'm particularly proud of putting together.

Especially as Google is now attempting a similar tactic with regards to acquiring its own training data. 🙃 🫠

At the risk of oversharing inside particular mini this week I did a synthwave/80s inspired Vapor Eagle mech from Battletech which I'm really pleased with.
A blue and pink Vapor Eagle battlemech photographed on an urban rubble backdrop. A side view of the same mech, showing a glowing heat vent A rear view of the same miniature.

I'm really proud of this 'German' village, and I think it's some of the best scenery I've made. However, plans have changed, so it's going for sale:

Any RT's etc much appreciated!

I’ve wanted to paint Vellas Von Faine since I first saw the figure and I managed to snag all 4 Crimson Court figures on eBay. Not sure which one to paint next as they are all so cool
