Monitoring the reactions to the Putin "interview". Let's see if the other analysts have spotted some of the peculiarities I noted. The usual grifters and commentariat already demonstrated, that things went right over their heads for the most part. Humans.....

No way this could be misinterpreted in any way, intentionally or not.

So the local games store chain runs their birthday sales of 20% this weekend. I, ah... I think I made an oopsie. 😁 At least all my bills are paid for this month, and I don't mind eating oatmeal. What is best in life? To grab the boxes! To put them on the counter! And hear the lamentations of the wallets!

Wrong thread? We post music here.

Simulation theory is absolute drivel, its inanity only rivalled by that of eternalism and string theory.

Practicing Blood Angels chapter markings for my 30K army, because I'm the kind of psycho, that's doing everything in freehand. Transfers are for the weak. Muscle memory is coming along fine, and I get semi-consistent acceptable results. Now I just need to work it down to about 10mm across, at a quality that is discernable on the tabletop. Perhaps an outline in a slightly lighter red would help it stand out more.

“In that instant, Paul saw how Stilgar had been transformed from the Fremen naib to a creature of the Lisan al-Gaib, a receptacle for awe and obedience. It was a lessening of the man, and Paul felt the ghost-wind of the jihad in it.” ― Frank Herbert, Dune

Skyndihyydibydybiidiby! "throws cleaver over shoulder"

Hyskydyudihydibicyn!

And for good measure.

Sigh. I need to read Gramsci. "adds his works to the pile"

It's gone a bit sad over all, as I see it. Very little of the new content is fun for long, and I tend to spend what little time I use in the game on old content. These days I play Guild Wars 2 far more than Warframe. My question is, are they running out of ideas? And is RL ideologies creeping in, hampering the game's role as respite from reality? The new expansion is Absolutely Haram by the looks of it, so it is already detrimental to the enjoyment of the game for some people.

Well... Can't say I'm bored. Almost done with Sapolsky's Behave. Some pretty good takes in that one, and some assumptions relying on dubious/debunked research. Over all, still worth the time, though. Then I noticed a funny pattern in which ships get attacked in the Red Sea, and which are left alone. Still combing through source aggregators, but it's pretty obvious already, why the Houthis are playing favorites. And things are getting a bit more complicated in the case of "PianoGate". Someone's panicking over something happening during that incident, and people are not in control of the narrative anymore. Very interesting Streissand Effect case unfolding, and I'm taking notes. 🤣 And yep. I'm going through a stint of insomnia as well these days. Sometimes the remedies work, and sometimes you just have to... try and get the best out of it.

You should lay off the pickle juice. That stuff's not good for ya.

I have a sneaking suspicion, we are not referring to the same franchises...

Muppet Show intensifies...

Aren't classic superheroes getting desecrated enough already these days?
