So I went for gas, $3.29/g @ Costco. Filled 15.38g ($50.62) but had to drive 15 miles, burning 44% of a gallon based on my MPG rating. Let's round to 50%, keep it easy—tack on price for total of $52.26. That said, we cleaned up 5% in rewards because of my wife's card. So I'll chop that off: $49.73.

@mmm0pan.bsky.social totally not rude my friend, I'm so glad you shared! I've seen your sketches btw, me and my editor geeked out over them together :) I've actually been rereading this while caring for my mother after her stroke. It's been lonely and hard, so this was right on time. Thank you :)

Fellow Americans, you and I pay the men who killed Alex Pretti. We bought the pepper spray they used to blind him. We bought the guns and the bullets used to summarily execute him. Our money pays officials to lie about his murder. They picked our pockets and are terrorizing us with the proceeds.

This isn't going to be the last time. The administration will stand by its Proud Boys and Oathkeepers, the goons will feel empowered, and more triggers will be pulled in even less excusable circumstances. It only ends when we decide it ends — either because we gave in, or because we stopped it.

Thank you for asking @lumi-nee.bsky.social :) Gave me a reason to do long-awaited magnetizing. Back in 3rd ed. I chose the shadow grey color scheme they illustrated (maps pretty closely on to Sa'cea). I played around with it over some years. If I could redo it I would try and reproduce that camo!)

After reading @noahvannguyen.bsky.social's fantastic Elemental Council book, I just had to draw something for my sept. (Apologies if tagging like that is bad form. I don't really know how to use bsky...) #art #oc #digitalart #tau #warhammer40k #40k

A digital concept art painting depicting a T'au Devilfish transport vehicle and three Fire Warriors in a snowy, icy environment. The scene uses a cool color palette of blues, blacks, and whites. One soldier sits on the side of the hovering vehicle aiming a rifle, another perches on the roof, and a third kneels in the foreground on the right.

A rough, faint line-art sketch of the same scene on a white background. Loose grey pencil-like strokes outline the geometry of the Devilfish transport and the gestures of the three soldiers, showing the initial structural phase of the artwork before value or color was applied.

"Without the lore, what would Warhammer even be?" Really apt finding from @rosgakori.bsky.social's work in "the Psychgeist of Pop Culture – Warhammer" (playstorypress.org/books/the-ps...).

Yndrasta was a fun one to write. I have this monster story that I thought would be cool for her: a horror story in Sigmaron where she's hunting down a beast that chews up Stormcast for fun. Kind of like "Murder by Moonlight" turned on its head.

Don't like Trump, not by any stretch. I'll always consider him a traitor after J6, and his systematic attack on American rule of law disgusts me. But I'll stomach his presidency if he takes a hard line against Russia in Putin's war against Ukraine. Won't vote for him, but I'll support him in this.

Been having a lot of fun with this epistolary. It's nice to just write in an exploratory manner and not worry too much about what goes on the page. Also, it's *definitely* been a nice break from the revisions I've been doing for an official project. www.thelingualfantast.com/post/the-ide...

There's an idea that's been fascinating me for a while — so I decided to engage it in a kind of fanfiction epistolary, from the perspective of a T'au researcher. Nothing official, of course. Just having a bit of fun and thought I'd start sharing it! www.thelingualfantast.com/post/the-ide...

Tons of interesting reflection here — but one that really struck me. @lastpositivist.bsky.social mentions the Sherden Pact being efficient enough to maintain multiple planetary wars. When we're discussing economics in Warhammer 40k, it seems like a marvelous way to frame raw economic output:
