No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

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.

Hypothermia is deadly. Don’t give hypothermia to someone exposed to tear gas. This Edgecrusher dude is a good follow
Practice on yourself! You might notice I'm actually squeezing water into my eye here. If it's running down your shirt, you're doing it wrong.
Decontaminating people without giving them hypothermia, and without our nozzles freezing, has been a logistical challenge.

Better than the dishwasher's deadpan delivery...

Wife was happy when our 36yo son moved out. When we visited him, he had turned his dining room into a war hammer battle room, & the spare bedroom a retro gaming room. Wife was furious saying his house is like a nerdy teen's bedroom. Secretly I'm jealous, he is living my fantasy

Just putting it out there that I'm still taking requests for specific units and insignia.
Did the 81st and 82nd West African divisions yesterday, and I've got some Indian Army stuff in the pipeline.
Have a look in the shop and if you don't see what you want, let me know and I'll do my best!

We don't buy AK interactive paints despite the high quality and convenience because they sold a holocaust concentration camp wagaming set. Every time we're in a shop and pass a stand, I'll remark loudly that we don't buy products from fascists and watch everyone wince.
