One of the most hideous sea monsters is the Scottish nuckelavee, a fairy that resembles a skinless horse fused with a skinless rider. Ironically, the nuckelavee hates fresh water. A river or lake is the safest place from this aquatic creature when it comes on land. 🎨Scott Purdy #FolkyFriday

European folklore claimed that "cynocephaly" (dog-headed people) inhabited far-off lands. They were frequently depicted as aggressive and violent, barking and howling. However, a few cynocephaly became Christian. Most famously, St. Christopher was sometimes depicted as a cynocephalus. #FolkyFriday

Increasingly feeling like AI art is a right-wing dogwhistle, but maybe I'm mistaking laziness for intent. In any case, at this point if I see someone posting AI art I'm gonna assume they're either fascists or don't care that it is primarily used by fascists. So consider that one moving forward.

Card 149: Wolverine vs Sabretooth Why does the fur fly when these two meet? They're hairy guys, sure, but not, like, Beast or Nightcrawler. Anyway, Jarvinen gives this a nice, clean, almost Wieringo-esque, look. #TradingCardADay #MU4 #FamousBattles #Wolverine #Sabretooth #Xmen

Counterpoint: Robert E. Lee was a treasonous loser who gladly slaughtered his fellow Americans in defense of slavery while being a mildly above average military tactician. He should’ve been hanged in Lexington.

I enjoy how Americans will post an image of a man bravely standing in front of a tank at Tiananmen every year to commemorate the wickedness of violence against protestors and then see a protester get trampled by a cop on horseback on CNN in LA and say “well what did he do wrong to deserve that?”

this feels like it's absolutely furrowed into the modern age of superhero flatness? we've removed all measure of minutea and intricacy to be replaced with "lore reference," like it's tied in to the disappearance of the civilian cast, it's helped to isolate heroes as this sort of Warrior Class?

In Norse myths, Skadi (a mountain giantess) married Njord (a sea god) because he had the nicest legs. But Skadi found she hated the beach since she couldn't ski and gulls squawked all day, and Njord hated the snowy mountains since they were cold and wolves howled all night. #MythologyMonday

People keep quoting this and saying "stop using AI!" But this is just a regular Google search. The issue is that Google now shows AI results first. Some people know to scroll past them or click the "Web" tab, but many do not.
