The original WH40K was full of puns and silliness. I bet they just loved calling their blue marines after the colour.

If you put the three books together the cover art showed a view of The Land. Teenaged me used the map to work out where the viewpoint was from but I have long since forgotten.

Bagpuss was set around 1900, 70 odd years before the programme was made. Why would you set it in the modern day?

You could be right. My own discipline is target archery and there are many other techniques. It will be an interesting question to put to my coach (who knows about the biomechanics of it all). "How would you pull a 100lb+ bow?"

Indoors, my archery club shoots with 18 people in a line along the width of a basketball court. Longbow, recurve and compound. I'm pretty sure we are not in a six foot box.

I don't shoot longbow myself, but I have shot with people who do and none of them hold their bows horizontally at any point. In the photos the archers don't hold their bows vertically even at full draw, but are always at an angle. In target archery that would throw your aim off at any real distance.

Alright, @sarahebond.bsky.social in her cruelty has made me aware of this remarkably incompetent talk Malcolm Gladwell gave and so I am going to inflict it on all of you by going through all of the mistakes he makes here in the hope that none of you will ever take him seriously again. 1/

Something I try to explain to tech peeps/investors is the danger of seeing yourself as the outcome, rather than the enabler.
It leads to creating 'value' that isn't valuable to the user. It just complicates their journey to the outcome you are meant to deliver.
Facebook is speed-running that. /1

DATELINE: MARCH 1981. Shakin' Stevens is top of the charts, Tom Baker is leaving Doctor Who and Clive Sinclair is bringing computers to the masses. Britain is finally moving into a new age, and one object above all heralds its arrival.

Whenever I have a bad pain day, I rewatch my favorite fanvid ever made (Starships, a multifandom fanvid by bironic) and it cheers me up.
Since I've shared it a billion times on The Site That Shall Not Be Named, it's past time I share the glory of this vid here, too.
