Emmett Initiative

RIP Walter Koenig (1936-2026)

Today, Brad (@drruler.bsky.social) and Eric (@onekuosora.bsky.social) discuss the Warhammer 40k Battleforce boxes coming this holiday season! Did the Blood Angels forget to leave out milk and cookies for Mariah Carey last year? Let's find out on today's Poorhammer Podcast! #warhammer #howsitgoin

your innie is empathetic, creative and an animal lover

get in, no time to explain

It is date night during Neysha’s favorite holiday, so she brought her Practical Magic 2 blender cup to hold her margarita.

Anne Hathaway as a Vulcan immediately, please

There was an officer on Red Dwarf with the name ‘Todhunter’ and my 16-year-old brain thought that name was relentlessly badass. kinda want to tap him on the forehead and say ‘caring about language this much is gonna rot your brain, kid. you’ll end up as a weird writer. invent reality tv.’

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

the Brewers are going to the World Series which means that somewhere Kato Kaelin is losing his entire mind

The entire 40k experience is so immensely stupid that it's fun to write about. Also, there are almost zero current events or political posts in the warhammer 40k bluesky feed. It's also a fun hobby to see cool pictures of other people's painted models and compliment their work!

warhammer 40k romance is probably like ‘she clung to him like vallejo surface primer to grey plastic’

I am about 95% sure that Mister Boy has flung a jump pack intercessor to points unknown.

One of the most insightful comments about game development came from a former boss. He said “Making a game is like starting a band. You can’t throw money at a new studio with random AAA veterans and expect it to crank out a hit.” 🧵

@genuscorvidae.bsky.social I am listening to a news report about crow research and it turns out that they make good decisions twice as fast as humans and primates

that's me in the corner that's me in the spotlight zombie mitch mcconnell

it’s interesting that so many people are suddenly extremely concerned about women’s sports but can’t tell you anything at all about larry nassar strange, innit?

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Man, I’m gonna be fifty in December. I’m not sure I’m going to read every book I *already own* before I die.

wtf elon your trans kid is literally the only member of your family I like shut up

a $15 raspberry pi zero 2 W is being sold for $85 on amazon because we decided to lash the global economy to a handful of unprofitable AI companies you would think that we would stop doing that by now, but we’re not

Companies also fire people. A lot of them don't build anything. Most of them don't do any research. If @cato.org isn't willing to limit billionaire investment in companies that have employment growth, tangible product and published research, they're being wildly disingenuous.

I've spent a decent amount of my life living aboard, working at a marina and piloting powercraft. I've also served in the USCGAUX. I've seen a lot of weird and dangerous stuff happen on the water. I am not a historian, but I'm certain the RMS Titanic's fate had little to do with rudder authority.

I play 40k and I don’t give two tugs of a dead dog’s cock about warhammer lore — but please don’t discount my ability to bore people on a wide variety of other topics.

Today on the Poorhammer Podcast, Brad (@drruler.bsky.social) and Eric (@onekuosora.bsky.social) take a deep dive to find the best 40k apps. List builders! Rules references! Some mathhammer! New Recruit - List Forge - Battle Base - Iron Built - WH40K youtu.be/QLhj-zstclA #warhammer40k #howsitgoin

I love how my favorite character in Warhammer 40k, a hobby where people collect little army men to the point of sometimes becoming insufferable, is the guy who, in universe, collects little army men to the point of becoming insufferable.

my wife and I react to paul hollywood handshakes like our team just won the super bowl

Hey! @joshgondelman.bsky.social! You fucking killed it on @hignfyus.bsky.social!

“The Salamanders take flame very seriously. They are the forge masters. They are the fire and the flame. They like to burn stuff.” — @drruler.bsky.social “Which would be kind of whatever, but I guess in the 40k universe there are a lot of things that need burning.” — @onekuosora.bsky.social

it has been wall-to-wall nonsense from republicans about mamdani and el-sayed but zero republicans believe that doctor oz is leading us to sharia law they’re 100% fine with muslims as long as they’re rich as fuck

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

A friend got me into 40k through space marine 2 a couple years ago and by far my favorite meme is the idea of big space marines finding fun bouncy pop music and treating it with reverence "Battle brother, have you heard? They recently uncovered a hymn from the Chapel of Roan"

is one or more of your hobbies 50% bullshit? here at games workshop we have a hobby that’s at least 95% bullshit at all times! welcome to fucking warhammer! now buy plastic cut these pieces out and build this thing then prime it and then paint it and then do it over and over until you die

More or less yes. #Warhammer40K #40K

(with energy and excitement)

they are not meant to be taken seriously at all I have a landspeeder that has two space marines in it one is flying the other is shooting for reasons beyond rational understanding, *they are both in powered armor.* the entirety of 40k is deeply unserious this is a beer and pretzels game

australians love warhammer but they hate that they can only get units for their armies out of a wombat patrol #40k #straya

Let's go, Sam Forstag! That's how you stand up for trans people on the national stage. If congressional candidates in western Montana—one of the most competitive House races in the entire country—can stand up for trans folks in every aspect of our lives, democrats everywhere should take note.
