My parents had an Atari 2600 when I was born so I literally do not have a life before video games. But I think the one that cemented it for me was Super Mario 3.

If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.

Gallup polling. "LGBTQ rights" moves between 0 and 1%.

Fox news polling. Wokeness/transgender issues at 0%.

Finally caught up on Adam Ant and can now definitively say that for me the winner of the imagined battle of the bands from the @tmbg.bsky.social song “XTC VS Adam Ant” is hands down not close XTC.

Not Warhammer Wednesday. Here is Xenithrax, one of my latest for HeroScape. The largest model I’ve painted and some definite pros and cons. I was not ready for the poor coverage of the yellow even over a light grey primer. Learning still! #minipainting #nerdlings #miniaturepainting #scapers

A bipedal dragon-like creature wearing a brown-copper armor. His scales are yellow, his wings are feathered and are a light purple/pink. Eyes glow the same purple/pink color.

I don’t really understand people talking about “no skip” albums. I can only come up with two tracks, one I skip basically every time, one some of the time off albums in my regular rotation. Skill issue imo, practice music appreciation harder. #musicsky

All of my very few twitter beefs have been with “philosophers” who’ve argued that my moral compass isn’t empirical. Man, the whole point of philosophy is to deal with the non-empirical. So troubling that degree programs aren’t moving these weirdos past the nihilism of high school philosophers.

I have this bad habit of answering the question of “do you have kids?” with the age of my son. “Do you have kids?” Nodding and doing a distinct thing with my eyebrows: “Nine.”

“Off” and “on” may seem like opposites but, in fact, they are synonyms. “I bought it off eBay.” “I bought it on eBay.”

Drive to Work #AlbumoftheDay: Hounds of Love by Kate Bush. I realize that I am extremely late to this party but holy cow what an album. I’ve never listened closely to Kate Bush but she’s featured on Peter Gabriel’s So, an all-timer for me so should have been clued in sooner.

When you think about it it is *so* cool how humans can communicate an entire ass sentence with a hand gesture and facial expression. “Nope, after you.” “Fuckin a?!” “Oh hell yes!” “Oh yeah, shoot, just give me one second.”

This is Ishmael, our human rogue, last one for me, now the 9 year old needs to keep his end of the bargain and paint the last member of the party. #dnd #miniatures #minipainting #nerdlings

The back view of the rogue, his dark green cloak and quiver are prominent.

The front of the rogue miniature, he has a dark green cloak and light green greaves, his skin is fairly light, he holds a sword with a blue/dark blue hilt, brown dagger and sheath, as well as bow and arrow.

Drive to Work #AlbumoftheDay: Speakerboxxx by Big Boi//Outkast. Fairly sure this was the first time I listened through the whole thing. I have listened to TLB many, many times but The Way You Move was everywhere and I wasn’t into it. TBH, weakest track on disc 1, IMO.

Listened to this on my commute in and more thoughts. This album is expertly produced. Every note and hi hat is exactly where they wanted it. Calling the tracks “filler” is a great insult to Albarn and CO’s expertise. If you only like Gorillaz tracks with rapping, just say that.

I work at a children’s museum and once got a voicemail saying they’d seen a tortoise on the hiking trail that didn’t “seem” to be native to this area and just wondering if we’d lost track of one of ours.

Evil Dead 2, I think I was around 10, famous family story. On vacation in the Adirondacks, my uncle wanted to watch it with me. My mom and aunt stayed outside on the porch but peeped in questioning my uncle’s wisdom. Had a big impact on my life (I love horror).

Messing around with a new technique here and quite like how this lil frog boi came out. #minipainting #miniatures #nerdlings

A frog warrior on a purple base. The red undercoat shows through, green skin, brown loin cloth and shield, gold eyes, and a metallic sword.

The back of the frog, you may be able to pick out the zenithal white spray underneath.
