Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

This is fairly close yeah. It’s Lord of the Rings meets Pirates of the Caribbean but made by Tex Avery.

Two different cuts, each with different footage/fidelity. DUNE 64/Final Dune

I would love to upgrade me and the kid's computers, but unfortunately Chuds want to make porn of their AI girlfriend/therapist.

ARC Raiders was a lot of fun, but suddenly when I hit Rank 5 the game suddenly became much more difficult - even basic drones were doing critical damage and were sponges. I went from addicted to uninstalling after four games that wiped out my weapons this afternoon. Shame.

On Episode 7 and this tracks. MVPs of the season so far.

Episode 4 of Season 5 of Stranger Things and honestly, I'm liking this better than Season 4. I think it's doing a fine job of wrapping up this story while giving us more satisfying lore and world building. My only issue is that of course the cast is way too big (and just grew again).

I'm so sorry I found you the most annoying family on this show since Episode 1. On Ep2 of Season 5 and I apologize Wheelers. I didn't realize the game you were playing. Hats off.

So, after some real hard thinking, I've come to the decision that I'm just going to release my book episodically for free on Medium. I thought maybe "well, Medium isn't optimal for building an audience". Well, hold on. Was I writing this to get famous and make money, or to share my writing?

I am sorry for expressing some ennui, but dear god, why is it that every thing we love and enjoy that helps us push forward is being destroyed by rich white politicians and tech bros.

"Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk agh fucking burzum-ishi krimpatul."

"Give them a moment, for fucks sake."

….fuck. I have no memory of this place.

This weekend's challenge: have only one episode of the 5th season of Stranger Things watched and try and avoid any spoilers until you can catch up tomorrow and Sunday.

As an American, I feel it's my duty to share the season greetings from our last four presidents. I'm so proud to be an American and be able to celebrate this time-honored time of peace for us all.

Merry Christmas to all, including the conservative fascist Nazis who are destroying our country, but failing badly. We have opened concentration camps for brown people, eviscerated trans rights, and militarized the police. We are lying about the stock market, inflation is crippling the middle ,

It was a good christmas so far. The family has had an art bug that continues to intensify - my wife got $200 colored pencils, my kid got his first iPad for Procreate,. I got an Ikea Blaliden display case! None of these are my pics, because everyone is scattered and didn't let me take pics!

If you're an artist coming over from Twitter because of this bullshit they added, first of all: Really genuinely sorry they fucked you like this & I think it's extremely reasonable to be crashing out HARD right now Second: I'm gonna offer Bluesky tips and encourage ppl to share starter packs here

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

Explain my username? Benjamin (earlier “Bowen”) Graven was a character in my first attempt at a full length novel in 1997. The idea of him was a traumatized survivor living amongst monsters. A human living among the undead, cool and seemingly unafraid because he lost part of himself.

Remember the 1920s when nobody was left-handed

If you're new here and are looking for some groovy artists to follow 😙👌 go.bsky.app/8zipYxH

Hello everyone from the hellsite. Stick around this time - it’s only going to get worse there. At some point you’ll lose your tolerance.

Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

Behind door number 24 of the Scarred For Life advent calendar... it's the grand finale, so ushering in tomorrow's big day is our spirit animal, the man in the bulbous mask himself: NOSEYBONK!

How I'm showing up at the Bluesky Christmas party

Similar to how we have photographs of people born in the 1700s or film recordings of those around during the civil war, I'm sure the articles on generational bridges will bring up Charlie and Oona. Gramps, a pioneer of the silent film era. Grandkid was in CGI/IMAX/3D.

hello please help me decide which version is funnier. Option A: Goofy and the slop blender are off-screen, implied.

Chuds: "I had to start watching anime/reading manga, because I'm sick of DEI creators in western media" Meanwhile, anime:

Finished Full Metal Alchemist. 27 volumes in 9 omnibuses - what an incredibly fun ride. Imaginative characters, very diverse cast, pretty good "magic system", wildly political, litte fan service...this is why women writing and drawing shonen will always be peak.

I've just been reminded of this. I've never corrected someone so fast in my life.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I'm reposting this for my WH40k mutuals.

This is a public information announcement that we're already 20 days into December. That's almost more horrifying than the actual PSA.

Intimacy requires trust. This is why the most intimate thing you can do is to combine your book collections.

I told the story before, but seeing this for the first time on a black-and-white TV, directly off of a bad antenna connection, just made this even more horrifying.

Yeah, hard to explain that... #TDS #ItsAcult #MAGAtNation

19 and only because I never had an AOL address (AOL was available in my rural area).

Mick Foley with more integrity than the entire WWE roster

I have an unhealthy need for this shirt. But I think that's apparent considering I have a SMB3 tattoo.

I never do resolutions. But this is what I'd like to accomplish: 1) I haven't read an actual modern horror book in years. I'd like to read a few of them off my shelf. 2) I really need to watch Severance. 3) play the GBA Castlevanias. 4) plot the comic book 5) return to Wickwood...

Opening door number 15 of the Scarred For Life advent calendar, we find... a man trapped in a phone box. It's one of the greatest short horror films ever made (with an unforgettable ending): LA CABINA!

Fully aware that least two of these were named after the James Fenimore Cooper character, but my English lit professor hated JFC’s writing so evangelically that I inherited his bias.
