The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

Love Kaweco pens. The Kaweco Brass is really wonderful.

Very much looking forward to reading this from @mackeza.bsky.social. Was a Nintendo kid throughout my childhood and still have my working N64!

Final two miniatures for my Badgers and Burrows warband completed. Painting all of these has been a real challenge but such a blast too. Absolutely gorgeous miniatures from Rescale. #miniaturepainting #minipainting

Two Rescale miniatures from the Duke of Mousin series. They are wearing acorn helmets and carrying jaw bone swords. Their shields are made from conker shells.

A series of objective markers featuring a lobster, an adventurer's bag, scrolls, magical grimoires and a spilt purse of coins.

Continuing to love these miniatures from Rescale miniatures, particularly these fighter mice with acorn helmets and conker shell shields. The objective markers are just a lot of fun to have on the battlefield. Who doesn't want to fight over a lobster dinner? #minipainting #miniaturepainting

I thought it gave off Number 6 "I am not a number, I am a free man!" vibes too.

Was lucky enough to review Space Gits for @wyrdscience.bsky.social Issue 8 (spoiler: it's awesome) and have also just finished painting up one of Kromlech's minis for the game: Officer Krunk. Decided to go full Dredd with the palette, "I is the LawwaAAARGH!"

#GoodLuckHaveFunDon'tDie is tonally uneven, nauseous with ideas, with strong Michel Gondry vibes. But it is a heck of a lot of fun. Sam Rockwell is excellent and I love that it just commits to being what it is. I don't know what that is but it commits to being it.

Have absolutely loved painting up these miniatures by Rescale miniatures, from their Archduke Mousin range, for Burrows and Badgers. They'll become the scouts of my Kindred warband. #minipainting #miniaturepainting

Oh great, am I right in reading that there was another design with a similar theme coming out later in the year?

Awesome. But I can never find them on the site, which section are they in?

if you would like to have a rant/considered conversation about something Wyrd Science, tabletop games in general or the world, and have it featured in the next issue of Wyrd Science, then you have 2 weeks left to get your diatribes in...

send your green inked emails to letters@wyrd.science

Yeah, can imagine it would be great for that.

It's a great bit of kit and a lot of fun to use.

Loved converting and painting this for #Gaslands. Particularly enjoyed using the Goblin Hobbies Stamper for the door decals. #nerdlings

I think that's very much what you did with The Game Changers, what made it so engaging.
