Like me, Tantek posts from his own website to Twitter.
So you can see everything @t has posted by looking at http://tantek.com/
What do you see there that could possibly warrant an account suspension?
WT actual F, @TwitterSupport?
Following on from my last post – how many points do you think works best on a 4×4 game board, in each of AOS or 40K? 1000? 1500? 750? Other?
In advance of Girl Wonder geting into the hobby, I’m putting together a flexible 4×4 gaming board. In your experience, how much scenery is good for this size of board, for each of AOS and 40K? Bonus internet points if you can show examples ?
This āSuccessor Chaptersā booklet came with the collectors edition of the 7th Edition Space Marine codex, and itās probably the most useful āfreebieā Iāve ever received with a 40K book. Itās just page after page of example colour schemes and names.

1) I am a white, straight male over the age of 50. I have been reading comics since 1972 and playing ttrpgs since 1979. I donāt recognize nerd culture anymore. When I was young we were outsiders. Our voices were silenced. We were ostracized. We had to find our own āsafe spacesā
The full thread is definitely worth your time.
“This will be short, ranty and to the point: these warnings are getting ridiculous: I know, tell you something you don’t know!”
Todo: tidy up the “listened” template to make it consistent with the other post-kind templates I’ve customised.
“A Commonplace book (or commonplaces) are a way to compile and store knowledge, usually by writing information into books, notebooks, card catalogs, or in more modern settings on one’s own website.”
I’ve been doing this for nearly 20 years (documenting stuff on my blog), in various capacities and with mixed regularity, and this is the first time I’ve heard of this term. Every day is a learning day ?
“Youāve heard the uproar ā conservatives are being censored on social media! Butā¦ are they? The short answer is no. The long answer is this weekās podcast, with Lincoln Network policy head Zach Graves joining us for a discussion about the misinformation, hyperbole and general ridiculousness surrounding supposed social media bias.”
I signed up to Proton Mail today, as the first step in a push to de-Googlefy* myself, amongst other “silo quits” I’m hoping to do this year. Email is a very minor part of my online life, but it’s part of the foundations, so it makes sense to move this first.
So begins the long process of switching over various accounts to use the new address. I’m not planning on switching everything – for example, I’ll not use it for anything social media related. A couple of important accounts have already switched, and apart from a fewā¦ odditiesā¦ as apps updated their cached details, these switches have gone smoothly enough.
* It won’t be a complete removal, unfortunatelyā¦ for a bunch of disperate but important reasons I’ll need to keep the account open for the time being. Hopefully next year I can cut free entirely.
