A blog about the stuff I'm interested in. Most recently that's art, games and especially transit infrastructure. Odd, maybe, but I want to think about building the kind of world I want to live in.

We are all just temporarily abled. Disability accommodations and awareness benefits everyone.

My Megaman x Final Fantasy pieces (done to celebrate their dual anniversaries) I’d like to eventually revisit and develop the Classic/X/Zero series ones a bit more though

cool BUG facts: Unlike #Revenant model textures where I keep them at the same res throughout the whole process and it keeps the crisp pixel art PS1 look, for the #ApronStrings models I actually have to downscale and compress them afterwards for the Dreamcast look (Both textures shown are 64x64 btw)

Guess who found the tram pass :D - - - - - #art #blender3d #pixel #3dart #hollowknight

Gaza is offline — again. The last fiber line connecting Gaza to the world has been cut, likely due to military strikes. No internet, no phones, no way to call for help. This isn't a glitch — it's part of the siege. My family is inside. I don’t even know if they’re alive. I feel powerless.

Bluesky "feels empty" because you are responsible for finding the content you want to see, as opposed to waiting for an algorithm to spoon feed you content it tells you that you want to see.

the extent to which elon’s stated plan to buy twitter, silence/de-clout progressive voices, promote loud shitheads in every reply, and move national media to the right just straight-up *worked* shows how shallow their thoughts and principles always were

When I say that writers should flesh out the villains, most of you think that I’m telling you to give them a weepy backstory to justify their crimes but really I just love those “meanwhile—in the bad guy lair” interludes

I love baseball

They were one of the first platforms to make explicit rules on AI use and tools to flag them. Still one of the few sites to do it, because Newgrounds is a website for artists.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

Dear Mr. Clegg I have started a business, selling the contents of your house I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house Without this access my company will not be profitable Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree Please advise how I should proceed

Marvel could pay for my healthcare for the rest of my life for a fraction of 1% of profit from Spider-Man Noir, a character whose original comics I edited. For Peter David to die in medical debt, co-creator of Spider-Man 2099 and writer of countless seminal Hulk and X-Factor comics—that's a disgrace

"We can't ask people if we can do this because they'll say no" hey man maybe that means what you're doing sucks

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

Protesters aren't kidnapping people and disappearing them. They're not blanketing communities with tear gas. They're not shooting people with rubber bullets.

These are crimes. They're committing crimes. And when people understandably protest the fact that they're committing crimes, they're shooting flashbangs at them.

dont look away

If you see people saying the Freedom Flotilla approaching Gaza needs to be stopped remind them that it's transporting baby food and prosthetic limbs for children and that only the vilest ghouls imaginable who have lost all their humanity would try and prevent such a delivery

another hidden/externalized cost and form of theft in AI is the bots for Meta etc are blowing up site hosting charges of pages they're looting for information to take credit for. profits go to meta and others, made possible by costs spread to all the operators of sites they're crawling to steal from

I can't say this emphatically enough: familiarize yourself with open source software as soon as you can because as much as you hate Linux nerds and FSF hippies, they're right. Open source is the last defense against surveillance capitalism, enshittification and the silicon valley rent-seeking agenda

its pride, i should make new knife month art but this is all i really got turning in my brain rn

This story makes me so incandescently angry. From the demons who killed him to the cops who shrugged off his attempts to find help to the news media that presented his death like an accident to the entertainment industry that used him for a punchline & threw him away. A plague on all your houses.

I discovered yesterday, in a mass email sent at 3am, that I will not be receiving the roughly £40,000 that my publisher Unbound/Boundless owes me for pre-order sales of The Paradox Paradox. The payment for five years of work, gone. #unboundless

SkyMuseum is live! We hope you enjoy playing our game as much as we loved making it. What started as an experiment is now a full 3D gallery where you can explore Bluesky feeds and art shares like the works of art they truly are. Download it here: twigbit.itch.io/skymuseum

Guys I am so serious right now, you need to give your artists these type of doodles whenever you have a clear picture in mind you'd like us to draw. It helps more than 100 moodboards. I LOVE getting these. Never be shy.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

its crazy how dominant germany was in science (especially chemistry) in the 19th century, it was basically the international language for scientists, people came from all over the world to train at heidelberg etc, and then....

Why is alt text so important? It’s not only great for accessibility and people with slow connections—it also benefits everyone: it allows your posts to be searched for what’s in the alt text and people can mute posts they don’t want to see.

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.
