After 26 years in journalism, I’m being laid off. My last day will be Sept. 4. I’m grateful for the experiences, friendships, and opportunities I’ve had throughout my career. Not sure what I'm going to do next. If anyone knows of any remote job openings please let me know.

John Hardick @jwhardick.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

Just picked up the Game of Armored Combat box set. Does anyone know why the Battlemaster and Awesome share an Alpha Strike card? It seems strange to cheap out on the two assault mechs when everything else has their own cards. #battletech #catalystgamelabs

There is nothing in the NATO Charter that requires a member-state to join wars of aggression started by another member.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Last mech from Aces box set all done - the Howler/Baboon. It’s a mech that other than knowing it existed, I know nothing about and was surprised that is was a light mech. #battletech #minipainting #catalystgamelabs

John Hardick @jwhardick.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

Locust IIC from the Aces box set all done. I always really like the locust, it’s one of my favorite mechs for whatever reason. #battletech #minipainting #catalystgamelabs

John Hardick @jwhardick.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

John Hardick @jwhardick.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

Latest Blood Bowl team - Wood Elves. Good high agility team that is sort of lacking in the design of the mini’s. #bloodbowl #games-workshop #minipainting #woodelves

0111

John Hardick @jwhardick.bsky.social · 29/09/2025

New Blood Bowl teams - Shambling Undead. Great out of the box team that gives you everything you need from the start, although I prefer the Necromantic Horror team. #bloodbowl #games-workshop #minitaures #minipainting #undead

I can’t find the lie in this.

Venom is an example of a villain who evolved into a hero because he was popular with readers and writers decided to rehabilitate him. By contrast, Magneto evolved into a hero because every decade since Reagan it's harder and harder to pretend he's wrong
