@englebright it's a good job I wasn't still into warhammer by the time I got to university, otherwise I definitely would have designed a space marines chapter whose logo was the universal quantifier or something

@englebright oh yeah, I forgot their emblem was literally an inverted omega

I just heard "Ultramarine croissants", I have no idea how that works

the person opposite me at work is organising a "warhammer 40k themed brunch" for her partner's birthday, I'm dead

@englebright I guarantee you some weenie has already written a fic about this

@iona (Not that British society isn't still stratified by social class, but not as much as it was, except at the extreme ends. It just baffles me that replaced "pedigree" with wealth instead of abolishing the stratification)

it’s really great how cycle lanes work for everybody: extra-wide pavement for pedestrians to walk in AND parking space for delivery vehicles 💯

I think there’s a whole class of people, such as the author of the post in the screencap, for whom “activism” is a monolith, who just think of it all as some kind of do-gooding without considering the content at all.

This is not to bash on vegans; I think veganism is admirable and may eventually be morally necessary. But I can’t understand why someone would react to the well-documented gender & ethnic disparities in tech with “better make some vegan-friendly emojis for diversity”.
