It’s dry here, but sub zero.
I guess even with warmed paint it’s not the day for priming.

that's one of the most perplexing parts of all of this.
Venezuela might have a lot of oil but it's very poor quality and must be refined, which creates pollution on top of pollution. Meanwhile to even pay the money to put a drill in the ground isn't worth it because solar is now cheaper in every way

At 5.15pm GMT today, the Earth will be at perihelion, the closest point to the Sun in our annual round.
This should be the start of the year. Happy new orbit, everyone!

Started building @fenrisgames.com new purple worm model yesterday made two sub assemblies and started the filling of the joins.
As ever really well cast and thought through models, am going to need a mahoosive base though, it’s a beast.

Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business. Nature is us.

The radical death cult rising from Silicon Valley venture capital is metastasizing rapidly.
It's an existential threat to democracy and humanity.

We're alive to love things, learn things, and make things. That's it. That's our whole task in our short bright flash of life. Love, learn, and create. The more love, learning, and making stuff you put in the world - the love, harmony, beauty, justice, compassion and mercy of existence - the better.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
