As an immigrant from the US, I can't help but stare in horrified wonder as the UK attempts to speed run its way to a similar state of ruin. You have all these wonderful things, and its like you just want to throw them away on the say so of a man with a face like a soggy cabbage.

I'm reaching out because we just learned that the cost for our son to sit his GCSEs has rocketed & we don't have the money. He's worked so hard against so many odds. Access to education for Roma is often hard esp with additional needs please help him reach his dream 🙏 ko-fi.com/glitzydemon/...

PSA to neurotypicals - asking “why” is not arguing. “Here is how a thing is.” “Why?” Is not an argument. It’s a request for more information. Why is the thing that way? Teach me.

My mercenary unit is an Enhanced Lance representing me, my wife and kids. Eldest recently discovered the Atlas, and Kerensky's famous quote.
Kid: "Can I swap my mech from an Awesome to an Atlas dad?"
Me: "Yeah, of course"
Kid: "Can you paint it to look like death?"
Damn it...

Feeling VERY sorry for Liam Hemsworth tonight. It could be argued that he knew what he was getting into, but he doesn't deserve the hate.

My 7 year-old son telling his barber today that she should "make time for yourself to have breakfast and lunch" and "customers should show some patience so you can have lunch" was easily one of my proudest moments in recent months. He's a good 'un.

My lil' dude is feeling the call of the model painter. I had this spare Strike Cruiser lying around and he has expressed an interest in collecting Space Marines for 40k.

So, I've absolutely fallen in love with #ArmyPainter. The colour triads especially are brilliant for people like me who struggle with finding complementary shades and tones for highlights. Can't wait to try out the magenta range on my Drukhari

As over a century of war in the Indomitus Crusade reduces their number to five, Brother-Sergeant Atharel's 7th squad finally relent, agreeing to cross the Rubicon Primaris.
I'm biting the bullet and painting up a squad of Jump Pack Intercessors as my new 7th squad.

@gavthorpe.bsky.social I have a 16 year-old wondering which Space Marine Chapter the Eldar clashes with in 'Path of the Warrior'.
Any insight for a befuddled father? 😆
She's absolutely loving the book by the way 👍🏻

What do your REALLY mean?
Why are you so rude?
Etc.
Never fails. NTs are so used to societal white lies & obfuscations, that saying what you mean is confusing, rude, or taken as a personal attack.
it's a large part of why things are so polarized, fucked up & "triggered" all the time.
It's tiring

Khorne Berzerkers are coming along very nicely. I decided to go all out with both new and old techniques to really try to get the very best out of the miniatures. My battle damage needs work but the whole squad is WIP at the moment 🤙🏻

Need a favour please folks; I've got a daughter who's having a small identity crisis! She loves rock music, pop/punk etc but also loves to dress in 'pink and fluffy' stuff (her words). If anyone who's alt but loves pink could post a pic so I can show her, I'd be incredibly grateful 🤘🏻
