I started painting miniatures years ago and stopped because the voice in my head told me I would never be really good at it like all the other painters I'd see on YouTube. This weekend, I started over again and focused on learning and having fun. So behold, my messy Samurai Jack. #miniaturepainting

A Warden of the Adeptus Custodes miniature, painted in the traditional red and gold scheme in an eavy metal style. The Guardian Spear has a yellow and black hazard stripe scheme and the pauldron has red and yellow checks.

Kai Winn is one of TV's finest antagonists. Credit to the actor for nailing the character. I hope to see more DS9 updates; it's my favourite Trek! (Garak my beloved)

A fancy looking penguin stands on a red-brick lane in three quarter profile, holding a light brown carpet bag. His black feathers have a blue sheen, and his white breast looks fluffy from not having swam recently. His bright orange bill blends into his yellow eyebrows, underneath a worn but lovingly-patched top hat (so that you can tell he knows business).

My body is not a temple. It is a Federation starbase. A bit outdated & in need of a refit. Im not the hero ship but Im host to a bunch of colorful weirdos and sometimes I become really important at work.

I wouldn't mind these flag shaggers half so much if they could just hang the union flag the CORRECT WAY UP. 'Patriots', my left testicle.

Fuck me I should not have read the OpenAI suicide encouragement court case. All the more frustrating that people are treating these glorified chatbots as a silver bullet. On the off chance any reader needs to hear it: there is always a chance and the world is a better place with you in it. Below ->

A squad of ten kasrkin commandos, in dark red fatigues and charcoal armour, carrying an assortment of special weapons. They stand on rusted metal catwalks, with fallen pieces of technology and machinery scattered at their feet. The walkways are slick with otherworldly filth and mucus. Tertium's underhive is no sane place to be.

In Germany, scientists have made a breakthrough in treating Parkinson’s by implanting a chip in the brain that sends precise signals to restore movement. A stunning leap in neuroscienceβ€”witness the power of innovation and the beauty of science in action.

"We need to protect kids online and stop them accessing violent pornography!"

"Also please scan your face to continue looking at your feed of bird photos"

The OSA is so poorly thought out and implemented, it's ridiculous.

Their Water Taps Ran Dry When Meta Built Next Door

Some places will have to start rationing water - to enable AI slop.

"A data center like Meta’s, which was completed last year, typically guzzles around 500,000 gallons of water a day. New data centers [will] require millions of gallons of water a day"

A sheathed sword in 1:12 scale, in a linen- and leather-wrapped scabbard collared in bronze, with steel crossguard and pommel. A brown leather strap is wrapped around the hilt. This is the intent, anyway.

Been a while, hey. Combination of Life and also not having produced anything I felt worth Posting. But I have been working on two firsts for me - a bust and NMM metals, both the same figure. Here's the sword (you'll have to expand the image because I am Bad at social media)
