the big sleaze, zx spectrum (1988) www.mocagh.org/loadpage.php...

old timey gangster man, looking cool as a cucumber, smoking, playing cards and holding a gun with a very long barrel (smoking). on the card table is a tipped over glass of liquid. a blonde woman is standing next to him, wearing a black dress and red sleeves (long gloves?). behind them is a bar with a bartender and a man in front of the bar with his hand over his heart, blood stain beneath it, deathly look on his face.

Closing out the rally, @nershly.bsky.social beautifully speaks about her experience being fired by Rockstar and how they try to use fear.

Hey if you are at #eaa2026 make sure to say hi to this guy, whose archaeology project signed a missile sent to Gaza. 🏺 www.instagram.com/p/DcmVUnBjS7...

me: I must be immune to nostalgia. to live in the past is to deny one's capacity for action in the present me: I bet Need For Madness would fix me though

When he found that the administrators were upset, he laughed. “Do they expect students not to be anarchists?” he said. “What else can the young be? When you are on the bottom, you must organize from the bottom up”

I am so proud of my colleagues who have continued the fight - and immensely grateful too. without their support there's no way us dismissees woulda made it this far ✊ solidarity works!

Meet Dominic Sandbrook, historian and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society making an argument here for continuing to drink from skulls. The context being that Worcester College academics had been drinking from a cup made from the skull of an enslaved Caribbean woman born ~ 225 years ago.

all of the announced models are excellent but I'm particularly enamoured with these two Statler and Waldorf motherfuckers

the new vampire lord on nightmare model for Warhammer age of Sigmar. Notably there are two grinning skeletons emerging from the base

Close up of the two skeletons, each with a cheeky grin

Extremely excellent game with @shitpost.dev fielding the Catapult That Would Not Die, despite the best efforts of a Wasp with a thousand shivs (6 small lasers)

The iconic strut of a Phoenix Hawk as it swaggers into a Flashman's left arc

A wasp fails to do much to a hunchbank while a complicated conga line of my Phoenix Hawk, Kara's catapult and my Rifleman prepare to kick each other in the head. My Warhammer lies stricken on the ground after an ammo explosion that knocked the pilot unconscious, it's probably fine though

cannot stop thinking about this, both the remarkable industry itself and the incredible craft that has gone into the writing of the thing. I'm going to become even more insufferable in all of my conversations from now on

Doing this vampire lord was extremely fun at this scale, especially the wings on the zombie dragon! I will never, ever do a full size Warhammer one

A small miniature of a zombie dragon perched on a rock, emerging from a swamp. There is a vampire rider in black armour holding a red lance. The model is placed next to a British pound coin for scale, which reaches to the head of the dragon

Alternate angle of the miniature, showing the red shield of the rider and the bloody fangs and claws of the dragon.

Close up of the dragon's head, in which the glowing green eyes of the skeletal dragon are clearly visible.

Shot of the rear of the model, showing rents in the drahon's skin. The skeletal wings with tattered membrane stretched between bone are clearly visible.

Posting has been scarce lately, here's WIP skelingtons as an apologies

Miniature skeletons that have been partially painted. One skeleton is holding a banner with a symbol of a gauntlet dripping blood, under which I've written DIE in very, very small letters.
