An initial forming a human head with a face: there is a party horn in the mouth of the face, hooting.

Let's say there is a well-known manuscript, in fact a guidance for a healthful living, written in 1429, a true medical-astronomical compendium, and this very manuscript also features a lot of striking initials with human heads blowing winds, hooting noises, making faces etc.

A few impressions:

Those original Knight rules for 1st edition Space Marine (penned by a tiny baby Andy Chambers) also provided one of the funniest, stupidest and therefore best rules in Games Workshop history, the ion shields that protected a 180-degree arc *ahead and to the left*.

I never get tired of that.

I suspect there is gender stuff happening too? Honest salt of the earth plumbers with proper views are 100% male, by stipulation.

I don't want you dead! she says, calm as the sun.

I want all the people like you to be gone.
I don't want you there in the places I go;
I don't understand, and I don't want to know.

That's worse than you wanting me dead, I replied.

You're overreacting, she cheerfully lied.

So is the general idea with the colour-scheme on these that they're like Techmarine colours?

The grossly unsubstantiated take that I am arbitrarily choosing to believe is that people are like this because they don't like reading, and want a "definitive" adaptation to "replace" the original.

Anyway, everyone knows the definitive P&P is the one with Jennifer Ehle and Firth's wet T-shirt.

Back on Twitter, long before Musk bought it, when it was perceived as having a lib/left cast, journalists were always ticking users off because it wasn’t β€œreal life”. Now it’s X, a far-right site, they tick us off because it’s β€œthe commons” and apparently we’re missing real life by not being there?

Visited the Cairo Geniza collection in the Cambridge UL for the first time today. Almost lost for words at the amount and diversity of materials, languages and scripts. Herewith my photo of a Hebrew primer used in 10th century Egypt to teach kids to write

It's also me, internally at least. My brain will regularly pop out an "Angry man. Very angry man" or "Terrible's too small a word" or "Oh, that gobshite" or whatever, in response to something, and then ouch.

(Why are all these examples so accidentally apposite? Anyway)

Discord might have cut ties but they're still planning to roll out age verification globally next month.

Continue to cancel your nitro subscriptions, if you haven't done so already. Don't boosts servers as well.

Hit them in the wallet.

This is the most important thing you will read this weekend. Make sure you do and that you act on it. This is not a drill.

Labour’s Trans Section 28 is shameful and disgusting and, more than any else, demonstrates how low the party has fallen. Every Labour MP needs to feel the heat about this.

Have had people asking for ages "if Silvia Federici is wrong about this what can I read by specialists debunking it?", finally something to recommend!

Weird how it's sometimes criminal to defend breaking the law and sometimes not criminal to defend breaking the law.
