For some reason, I bought a 3D printer a few weeks ago. Goodness knows I've not got the spare time for it, but it's been quite nice to muck about with.
I've slowly been printing some Warhammer like bits because one of the kids has some Warhammer friends, who really have Warhammer Dads.

Don’t worry about cannon, I haven’t released any solid lore. She’s my sona I stream with. The illusionary form of a beholder who’s trying and failing to pass as human for nefarious reasons.
She has a statblock if it helps?

Three points I keep repeating
1. Left and liberal voters actually really exist
2. The right and "centre" are trying to rule without liberals - they are way out over their skis
3. Reports of right wing total information control are greatly exaggerated

"If you're getting attacked from both sides you must be getting it about right" is a decent heuristic *when you can assume honest disagreement from both sides*.

So looking at the actual SF chronicle article, the only place this song is accruing notice is on Spotify, which is easily gamed by bots. If I were an AI proponent who desperately needed to boost the validity of my investment, this is exactly what I’d do.

it's gonna be hilarious when this nerdbrained hard-on for footclomping continuity that nobody normal gives a fuck about forces them to explain how James Bond has actually all along been regenerating between each actor as a fuckin Time Lord from fuckin Planet Gallifrey
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

“Anyone who thinks this is about a 12-second clip on a Panorama more than a year ago that not a single viewer complained about is not reading the proper story,” said one. “What’s going on here is much more about macro politics.”

Under Nicola Sturgeon & Humza Yousaf the Scottish Government rightly opposed the proposed Rosebank oil field.
John Swinney has sadly dropped that opposition and tried to avoid taking a position at all.
That's not good enough, so tomorrow the @scottishgreens.org will force a vote.
