Something I didn't consider before I resumed the hobby of Warhammer after 20 years is how fiddly it can be to glue models together. Lore drop: I didn't have the end of a finger partially missing to take into consideration back then like I do now. 'Ol Ninefingers Palmer, as nobody has ever said.

Some sort of 'don't play on the railway tracks' information video at school. They could probably have done without the scene showing someone collecting dismembered body parts. It was live action, btw.

The auto-transcription software running in the background during an interview I recorded for an upcoming article did for has misunderstood 'Douglas Adams' as 'Doug Saddam'. ಠ_ಠ This is one of the reasons why I'm still very hands-on when it comes to transcription!

Anyway, Monday, is it? *disheveled confusion*
In Futurama, Leela's old boss, a middle aged Indian man, at the cryogenics lab says "I even saved your poster of a chimp expressing your distaste for Mondays." 

The poster says "I hate Mondays" and a chimp wearing a tie looks rather unimpressed.

Not good. Use some form of multi-factor authentication on your accounts if you can. Also, @bsky.app: please introduce a form of MFA which isn't just sending a code to the email linked to the user account, because if the email is hacked, that's basically an unlocked door...

Found out yesterday that one of the first pet cats whose name we know belonged to Crown Prince Thutmose of the 18th dynasty pf Egypt. She was named Ta-Miu, which translates, roughly, as "Miaow Girl".

Catching up with last night's #AEW Collision and the further tributes to the late PAC / Ben Satterley have once again punched me right in the feelings. Still can't believe it. One of THE biggest global success stories in British wrestling ever, just... gone. 🤼‍♂️

I have never been to Glastonbury, I didn't try to get tickets today and I think it's possible that I will never go, which is a shame, but I can't be arsed with the fight for it. I should have done it 10 or 20 years ago. 🥲 At least it means there should be a bunch of gigs in London about that time?

Having now had twenty-odd years of social media depleting our stocks of sanity, like overfishing North Sea cod, I think now might be a good time for a strict social media quota for about 20 years or so, to let stocks recover.

Just checked in on a well-known freelancing platform to see some of the 'opportunities' up for grabs, with so many of them paying little as $10 an hour. Or in another case, $100 for a 2,000 word in-depth feature which is something that will take actual days of work. My reaction in full:
