I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

As a longtime Warhammer player I can say with certainty that the painting of your Warhammer figures has always been a reflection of who YOU are: colors of your favorite sports teams, nationalities, and sexualities. It is not only accepted, it is fucking encouraged. Warhammer is for all of us (nerds)

Ridley Scott is 87.
Joe Pesci was Ridley Scott’s first choice for Roy Batty in Blade Runner but left halfway through the production.
Rutger Hauer stepped in & the rest is history.

Conclave was superb, utterly absorbing. I think I could watch Ralph Fiennes watching paint dry and his scenes with Stanley Tucci are from a higher plain.

Tonight me and my, utterly enthralled, 8 year old daughter reached The Force Awakens in our Star Wars journey and then read the Riddles in the Dark chapter of The Hobbit.
Not sure how long I'm going to get away with such self-indulgent parenting but I'm going to enjoy it while i can, my precious.
