"I see Ragnarok at last unfold. And worst of all... I see the desperate hopes of the one man who might yet stop it... turned to ash and cinders... by a single bolt of lightning. Armageddon has arrived." - Kingdom Come #3

Original art of Howard the Duck by Colleen Coover @colleencoover.bsky.social. Ink and wash on bristol paper. Colleen almost never sells her original art, so this is a rare opportunity, available at the Helioscope webshop! helioscopepdx.etsy.com/listing/4456...

As a lifelong fandom type, yes. Fandom is and should be an unserious and self contained speakeasy of bootleg bullshit and the powers that be (the show runners, press, etc.) aren't invited. Fandom can take itself seriously but nobody else should. The more people take us seriously the worse shit gets.

A very astute (and upsetting!) piece that touches on four scary cultural trends: 1) The demand for spelled-out moral clarity in stories 2) A growing inability to understand different types of narratives 3) The "customer's always right" version of fandom 4) The growth of fandom as a social identity.

I've been so bonked by the flu and depression I've not had any energy for anything beyond the bare minimum of: sleep some, eat enough, barely meet work deadlines so I don't burn bridges. I don't think I've drawn in a month, I haven't written, I've not edited my own projects. Let me out of this slump

could really use two mains and three sides right now, and a roll

Ok! Visible email Easily navigable Brutally prune your work, smaller great portfolio > larger good one Start and finish on strongest pieces Show the kind of work you want to be hired to do (sounds obvs, but y’know…) Show you understand how multiple elements (eg figures) interact

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

This is from NASA's DSCOVR climate satelite, located at Lagrange Point 1 (the point of equal gravitation balance between the Sun and Earth, about a million miles from Earth in the prosolar direction). The Moon sometimes photobombs Earth in its images. It has been in operation since 2015.

I truly cannot imagine caring about posting on the “biggest” social media site. “threads has more users!” threads is fake. get a life

NOW THAT'S A GOOD FRIDAY

This is so, so well-articulated.

OK for fun: top funniest tweet ever? I am torn between "moon's haunted" and "Denise I was at your wedding."

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

The degree to which the bluesky leadership does not understand the people who populate their service is extremely funny. Their AI tool is followed by 1,500 people but blocked by 125,000.

The world is stupid, but I just watched a squirrel break into a car in the parking lot below me, steal a package of crackers, and escape to a nearby tree. So at least somebody is winning.

Many successful comic strips continue indefinitely. But Bill Watterson’s final #CalvinAndHobbes comic strip appeared in newspapers on December 31st, 1995, concluding a 10-year run. Some fans & critics have struggled to let go. Others argue the strip’s ending is perfectly endless. 1/12 #ComicsStudies

Butchered on its release only to be miraculously restored years later, Nightbreed is an impossibly beautiful, disgusting piece of nasty cinema about living on the margins of society. aftermath.site/nightbreed-mas...

I was scrolling what I thought was my Following tab and Alt NPS popped up with a clicky vaugepost and I immediately recoiled. It was the Popular with Friends tab. Y'all fuckin live like this?? Get that grifter shit out of your feeds, y'all!

If you're ever in doubt, always remember the Colonel's words of wisdom "There's more to being a good person than just having a stereo television" How much more exactly, I'm not quite sure. @hideokojimaen.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp #MetalGearSolid #PS1 #retrogaming #nostalgia #Playstation #retro

I like his fit from the end of Muppet Treasure Island where you can see his Mermaid Miss Piggy CHEST TATTOO

Please don't think the Ides of March is about stabbing people to death. That's incredibly reductive. It's about stabbing people to death as a team, as a community.

Amazing to see @drewstruzanart greatness recognized in this year’s @theacademy Oscar’s In Memoriam segment. We miss you, Drew. ❤️❤️❤️

EVERY SINGLE PART of a lily is toxic! Petals, leaves, pollen, the water in the vase. You can celebrate someone other ways besides killing their cat. I worked as a vet tech for 10 years. Let me assure you, you don't want to see your cat go through this nightmare.

It's so hard to pick only 9, but I tried to be really authentic with formative ones. I definitely could have picked more! So here are my 9 games that strongly impacted who I am today. my9games.com
