I really don't know why anyone in the UK government ever attempt to 'woo' or persuade anyone in the Trump administration, as they're all grubby pychopaths keenly aware they're under the constant scrutiny of the biggest, grubbiest psychopath of them all.

You can't ever win with these people. If you aren't full-bore on their side, you are an enemy, and will be treated as such. It isn't complicated. And Trump personally can be manipulated, yes, either with flattery and bribery or else by taunting him into going the direction you want him to. But his cronies? No. You'll never please them, because they answer to the whims of a brain-rotting madman.

I don't have time for tumblr discourse they're calling the very hungry caterpillar degenerate art over on twitter

good art is when something looks like real life, the more real it looks the more better the art. abstracted figures give my trad children nightmares, one time they were exposed to cubism and couldn't go outside for a week

Huh fascinating, I wonder what the fash have against Eric Carle? I wonder what he might have said about his life, and influences, and early experiences that makes them say he’s part of an ‘insalubrious culture’?

Carle's 'Blue Horse' teaches kids to think outside the box

Franz Marc (1880-1916) was a German painter and printmaker, one of the key figures of the German Expressionist movement.

Oh look it's distantly time for one of my favourite poems, Hymn of Breaking Strain (by Kipling, published 1935). Verses 1-3 are the most directly relevant for "industrial engineering and human failure factors" but I have included the rest of the poem for completeness. I like to read it through a mental health lens.

For his faults, Kipling did do a very good poem (on basically everything, apparently).

the more i watch star trek tos, the more it becomes abundantly clear that the reason why modern trek doesnt get kirk at all is because they dont utilise mccoy nearly as much anymore

in modern trek, they always present the idea of logic vs emotion, with spock being logic and kirk being emotion, but thats not how tos has it. in tos, the logic vs emption debate is spock vs mccoy. kirk is supposed to be the mediator between the two, sometimes siding with one side over the other, sometimes finding a middle ground between the two. thats why hes the captain, hes able to see all angles and pick the best course

when you make kirk the emotional one, it completely breaks the format, because 9 time out of 10, it means kirk has to be correct. theres no more balance

mccoy is just as important to tos as spock is, and while i do understand why spock is as popular as he is, without mccoy, the show doesnt work. you need them both. kirk spock and mccoy are the three leads of the show, and removing one requires you to change the others, which is whats happened to kirk

I really, really do miss the old style of missions.

Mean, ones now do have special rules and such, but they're invariably something to do with objectives moving and points, you know?

This stuff would never fly now. The Rearguard mission even states that the passive part of the defender's split force isn't used at all.

Imagine! You're playing 40k and a randomly determined portion of your army (probably about half!) is just out of the game! Not used! Pack 'em up!

Thematic? Yes. But nowadays someone would have an aneurism.

I think it's delightful.
