This stuff is so interesting when we talk about politics in warhammer because like, its true that warhammer draws on a diverse range of influences, some quite radical, but like, Dark Angels aren't called Dark Angels because of Section 28, are they? I see your point, but thats just not true is it?

I think its interesting to think of the "love/hate" relationship specifically....Maybe the first inkling of being into them but disliking them was when the price of WD went up from £1.50 to, I think, 1.95. Or when I realised that, unlike 3rd edition WFB, 4th edition WFB gave you no magic rules.

My cynical and conspiratorial take on this is that no one was talking about the" muddy Andrew Garfield in a chunky knit hoodie" movie and now, because someone said some mad shit on a poster, everyone is talking about it.

Let's Play Chess illustrated by John Bolton is is really important to fantasy wargaming because you get it and then find out chess isnt very much like John Bolton illustrations in Let's Play Chess but what if there was a game more like the illustrations in Let's Play Chess?

Okay. This is a bit of a weird question, but how ashamed were you of being into warhammer as a kid? The reason I am asking this is because I am still batting around the idea of writing something about sexuality and warhammer and an idea that I keep coming back to is the shame of being into

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

Getting all my political talking points from the comments of the pro wrestling subreddit from now on.

There have been more school shootings in the 2026-2027 school year (which started last week) than there are transgender athletes competing. This is a nothing issue pushed by nothing people while the rich continue to rob us blind.

I’ve never seen this Harryhausen quote about why stop motion animation is its own aesthetic form & trying to make it feel like smooth live-action is a category error. ❤️

As Harryhausen summed it up in 1981:

To me, the ultimate aim in making our films has never been the smoothing out of stop-motion animation. To try to duplicate live action in every way seems to me like asking a painter to paint a landscape so it will appear like a photograph. Our pictures are more of a surrealistic experience rather than an excursion into technical perfection. I’m certain technical perfection has its place and its advantages, but could you really make a sequence such as the skeleton swordfight in Jason and the Argonauts … with a computer?

Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...
