That scoreline does not reflect how well Scotland played, Ireland were great

Well the Scotland V Ireland game is looking pretty good so far

These champagne flutes of room temperature milk make Beavis and Butthead look like Marie and Pierre Curie

An image of a Dark Angels legion Space Marine in black power armour.

A black and white photograph of a fallen tree in Burnham, cracked and crumbling on the ground.

Due to popular demand, here's every Space Marine legion from Warhammer 40,000 as a document in our collection.

I: Dark Angels

Obviously, they're this photograph of a tree in Burnham. Why this photograph?

The tree has Fallen.

Digger driver training course. Have to get there quickly by helicopter to avoid the queue.

Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking across a microscope slide. 🫧🐻🧪

But.... sequel!

(They could have stopped when he reached the top of the ridge and looked down at the base)

Yup.

Oh wait, it’s Friday the 13th, I can legitimately repost this! 🗡️

Do you want to see Reacher fight a mech. Of course you do.

Do you want something reminiscent of the mercs in Predator, the Colonial Marines and the squadies in Dog Soldiers, with all the likelihood of survival that implies. Obviously yes.

The USA #1 thing I could have done without.

War Machine on Netflix.

This is why you don't build a mech with two small pulse lasers in the arms, a centre torso PPC, left and right torso SRMs, jump jets, an active probe...

And a single double heat sink in the head.

I work at a shop that sells band T Shirts & judge each band's fans from how often I have to re-fold t shirts people have just thrown back in a wadded up mess. Iron Maiden fans? Cool. Oasis fans? Fucking pigs.

winston churchill vs one otter

you are winston churchill at 90 years of age, and you have been confronted by a single otter. you have four moves: alcohol, genocide by starvation, speeches, and being mean to guests at dinner. the otter has one move, which is to bite you in the ass

Does that mean we get to find out what happened to the poor sods who got trapped on Destiny?

A map of the divided warhammer 40.000 galaxy with a galaxy-wide rift to hell splitting it. Crudely pasted on it are pictures of spaceship and an arrow, with accompanying text saying "just go around the great rift."

Can this be a solution?

Can we just put Palantir and everybody and everything associated with it in the bin?

So, it should be nationalised and run by governments for no profit? Sounds good, Sam.

(Actually the regulation is probably more required for what these things have done to adults with respect to thinking the AI is real, and should probably be included in a broader set of legislation)

On the other hand, they do need to regulate these things in case they start getting sneakier with it and something does start to get through. See "Funzo" by The Simpsons

I mean, it's bad, but I suspect that it's bad enough that it's going to end up in the back of a cupboard in pretty short order. I refer to the seminal work on the subject "Georges New Dinosaur" by Peppa Pig where the new toy is abandoned almost instantly.

I mean, Teddy Ruxpin. Furbies. Speak and Spell. Talking toys are not new. Anyone marketing them as a substitute for talking to your kids should be hung up by their thumbs though.

Now that's true, but it just says the parents were interested. There's nothing inherently wrong with trying a new thing out, under supervision. After the initial interest, the parents' conclusion is likely to have been "this is a bag of shite" and got back out the big box of Duplo.

I think about this quote from All The Presidents Men constantly- “The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand”.

what the fuck is going on in Sam Altman’s head

two shots of a model of the Discworld - four elephants supporting a flat, circular world and themselves standing on the shell of a giant star-turtle. at left, original model in @snuurg's studio; at right, slightly adjusted model shot in black & white with Terry Pratchett sitting alongside it, in the garden.

Dan Abnett's Gun:
Right, second act... Am I writing a Warhammer 40K novel now? These have lots of guns. No wait, this is a comics script. Marvel one? Too many guns. Must be one of my six 2000 AD strips. Shit, which one is it? Let's kill someone, with a gun, hopefully by next week I'll remember.
