WIP from this weekend, a Thanatar Cavas for Horus Heresy. It's missing quite a lot of shading and highlights, but I'm happy about the color scheme, it's quite outside of my comfort zone 😁 #nerdlings #paintingwarhammer #horusheresy

Happy new year 🎉 My last model painted in 2025 was this beast: the Dwarf Guild's Combat Excavator for #onepagerules I've never painted something that big before, it was fun but also exhausting. The next ones will be smaller 😅 #nerdlings #paintingwarhammer

Nous sommes en train de regarder dans la mauvaise direction.

Pour comprendre la stratégie européenne de la Maison-Blanche de Donald Trump—il faut se tourner vers le poids écrasant de la dette américaine.

I went to an #OnePageRules Apocalypse game yesterday at Rennes, hosted by Les Songes Élémentaires. It was a blast, it was insanly huge but very smooth thanks to the great OPR ruleset. It was also fun to get my Emperor's children finally out of the box.

Autism Isn’t To Blame For Bad Behavior | The Nib Autism is a developmental disability, not an attitude or personality.

Since more and more instances are popping up of terrible men using autism as a scapegoat for their behavior, I’d like to link an article I made for the Nib in 2018. I hate that its continued to be relevant today thenib.com/james-damore...

lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider :

are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No.

*but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no.

*but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no.

maybe you're not being negative *enough*
