So here in France we have a 5G-enabled electricity meter called Linky, which naturally here in the land where people who live in heaven think they live in hell there were all kinds of protests — Linky gives you cancer, makes your kids autistic, kills your dog, sets your house on fire, and so on.

Saw a post here that has made me realise I can’t see the words “massive wanker” without picturing Clive Russell
Not because of anything he’s done, but because Spaced has some stuck in my head 25 years on - see also “Babylon 5 is a big pile of shit”

So.
On Sunday I said I was finding Battle Ground hard going.
I got past the bit. If you’ve read it you know. And then ran through the rest of the book in about a day.
I’ve now read half of Twelve Months. And don’t really want to put it down.
That man can write.

France vs Ireland. France in better shape but Ireland could pull something out if all their new peeps fire, maybe?

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by Iron Maiden.
Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

I convinced a lot of people to invest their life savings with me except I used all their money to buy myself a leather jacket and a jukebox that only works when I hit it.
I’m now being investigated for running a Fonzi scheme.

Look, these are some of the most wonderful posts, daily. There’s not been a day one of these little slices of Aotearoa life hasn’t raised a smile or an “awww”
🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
Two tiny humans (1?) are being carried in different directions down a busy street. Their mums cross paths and Tiny Human Strangers reach out their hands, momentary touching fingers, expressions marvelling at seeing another so small as themselves. (1)

This is an excellent article, and the stuff in the last paragraphs is worth us all fighting for because frankly it makes our bit of the world a better place for all of us and that’s worth changing some 40 year old text for

I'm a woman who's never played Warhammer 40k, and female Custodes make me want to start
If you think that adding tiny plastic women to a wargame like Warhammer 40k doesn't make a difference, I assure you, it really, really does.

I love seeing people see new stuff added to 40k and finding something that personally hooks them in. That's really great to see because it means GW is making the right steps to bring more people into the game.

The scale wars have been won! 28mm is the best, SPQR approved!
‘How often do you think about the Roman Empire?’ is so 2024.
What I want to know is how often did the Roman Empire think about Warhammer.
Pictured is a figurine found from a dig in a Roman cemetery near the A66 by Cotswold Archaeology.
It’s 28mm and on a round base ready for 40k or AOS
