People reacting as if Duolingo killing off their mascot is some brilliant marketing move are living proof that we have the cultural memory of a goldfish. Planters killed off Mr. Peanut five freaking years ago, during the damn Super Bowl 🙃

I thought reading today's news and seeing Trump calling Zelenskyy a dictator was awful enough, but then I saw the EO that dropped last night.

So, because conservatives didn't like other people policing their language, we now have... the government policing our language?

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment. I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face. And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Draw your own conclusions, but Donald Trump is not behaving like a leader who expects democratic accountability for himself or his party next year or in 2028.

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

the first fatal commercial plane crash in 16 years happened just days after Trump froze hiring of air traffic controllers that were already stretched thin

I'm realizing that the scifi stories about AI taking over thee world and working its way into every computer and piece of software really came true... it's just that the AI was purposely put there by people rather than working its way in on its own.

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over

Excellent post

The Air Force will no longer teach its recruits about the Tuskegee Airmen, Black pioneer pilots honored for their service during World War II. Also halted, teaching the history of Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs, the female World War II pilots who were essential in ferrying warplanes…

That Star Trek Beyond clip dumped me into this fan edit of the Enterprise launch from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, which is one of the few fan edits I've ever seen with homemade CGI that actually improves the sequence/film: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdRU...

This isn't a government, it's a crime spree.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Prompt engineering is about to be a real skill but it'll be finessing mentally ill chatbots into prescribing desperately needed chemotherapy drugs

right winger identifying fascism

Tesla, more like Swasticar

I always planned to watch Section 31 anyway, but I’m really disappointed to hear how indifferent it is to Star Trek.

I bought this little space heater a few years ago to heat my basement office, specifically because it looked cool. Today I finally added a finishing touch.

Can you imagine the courage it took to preach this message directly to the president? This is what a follower of Jesus looks like. (Partial transcript below.)

I made this as a follower callibration for The Other Place but I really like how the lil burro turned out so Id like to repeat to all my followers here on blsky that TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

You’re all about to be gaslit about that Nazi salute and I’m begging you to spend no time on it. You know what you saw.

So… did everyone get the weird simping-for-Trump message in TikTok?

As #Severance s2 finally streams tonight, I just wanted to say thanks to all the incredible fans who have waited so long and stuck with us. Our hope is you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it. It’s never finished till you engage with it. So excited for the dialogue to begin. Praise Kier

Alright, it’s time! Severance S2 is finally here! 😍

Hey #Severance friends - we have a discord filled with the absolute coolest Severance fans. You should join us. Your innie will be very impressed. We have freeze dried beets! discord.gg/lumon-indust...

With #Severance S2 just around the corner, it seems like a good time to re-share this—now on Bluesky! It’s a virtual recreation of MDR I made using #UE5 and #Blender! It took ~6mos to make it back in 2022, as I was learning about UE5, but I’m still proud of it! www.artstation.com/artwork/ArbYmy

Rest in Peace, President Carter 💔

I did it, I survived #Whamageddon this year! Merry Christmas everyone… I’m gonna go listen to Last Christmas now!

Post a scene from a movie you’ve seen more than 10 times

#Severance fans, run don't walk to your Apple TV app because the first eight minutes of s2 are streaming now

How Baltimore County became a hidden world of video game companies

I’ve been tinkering with making a little airplane battle card game using my planes and setting, but dang… designing a card game is tricky 🫠

I spent many hours on research, diagrams and then writing my analysis thread on the Mirror Darkly bridge. Then on twitter HeyGenLabs took all that and generated an AI video reading most of it - without any credit. I did not ask for this. I consider it plagiarism x.com/HeyGenLabs/s...

If a private business stopped paying their employees because the board couldn't come to a budget agreement, it would be the end of that business and a huge scandal. how is it a good thing if the federal government does this?

Me facing 2025

I've got another new fantasy plane design up on ArtStation! The "BL-37 Peerless," a versatile (if bizarre-looking) little patrol wingcraft designed to operate from an airship hangar. www.artstation.com/artwork/x3B0Lr

Drop an alien that’s not from Star Wars or Star Trek.

And it's done - I really like how this looks. Happy with the new cockpit, happy with the updates to the character and overall animation. Hope you like it!

I have some new art over on ArtStation! www.artstation.com/artwork/JrD0Qa
