“Cant sleep… i’ll just have a quick look at my phone”

Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

If Democrats can't win on "the administration is full of and covering for kiddie rapers and they're using your tax money to invade Venezuela and pay fat Nazis to shoot your neighbors" then GET THE FUCK OUT OF POLITICS

I did the thing! Even though work has us locked in the autodesk eco-system (such as it is) Blender is a fantastic platform you may end up using unless you can drop thousands on a corpo license.

Wip Votaan test buggy for a tabletop clubmate. I can't really take on the commission but maybe this helps them sort what's possible.

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

So mad right now.

Vyke update.

Your last saved pic is your moral philosophy.

Also, painted up a bunch of fidget Derp Tigers with my daughter. These are going to all her friends for her bday.

Painting Vyke from Elden Ring. I hope he's prominent in the A24 movie.

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

The good news is that antifascism, Reconstruction 2.0, the abolition of billionaires, and the Butlerian Jihad are all one project now

"You say you only used AI for placeholder text, but in that text was a response from the AI saying 'here's a revised version'. Here's what I don't understand - why revise placeholder text? You see my problem? It just doesn't make sense to me. Why revise something nobody was meant to see, unless..."

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

THIS x 1,000,000. Honestly I don’t know who this person is (this clip popped up on social media) but I would vote for them tomorrow.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

Fuck yea!

I attended SoCalSwordfight and all I got were these cane bruises and saber stripes #hema

Well it can't be that capitalism has problems so it must be some sort of shadowy cabal making things bad. And the problems are happening across the world so it must be an international conspiracy of people who are pulling the strings. Why would they do this to capitalism and nations

This, precisely, is what I think Dem voters want from their representatives: direct confrontation with people who are used to bullying others both as a matter of substance and style. You don't have to back down to these fucking clowns.

UPDATE: Kahlil Mahmoud has had a court hearing arranged regarding matters of habeas corpus for Wednesday, and the judge has ordered that no further action regarding him shall be taken until this is resolved: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Whelp, since I don't want a waffled nose, I had to pass this CHFG Sallet along to another Hema friend. Still, it's a rad idea and I hope the design is perfected some day.

Fate conspired to keep me from the KillTeam tourney on Sunday, but I did get my Fellgore sorted. I haven't allowed myself to paint minis in well over a year. Doing so was a respite from the underlying hustle mentality that permeates most art I do. Treat yourself; paint those grey guys & girls.

Everything in The Duelists is kinda crazy. m.youtube.com/watch?v=JOBT...

I'm going to find a nice Rotella (polymer riot shield) for #hema and only that. Never gonna need to deflect rubber bullets from hitting my friends no-siree.

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

Precious Egg

Once again: The animating purpose of representative democracy is to protect the rest of us from the whims of insane rich people, be they kings or oligarchs. Everything else is wainscoting.

what'd I do this weekend? oh you know just absorbed more news and information than 6 generations of steppe dwelling ancestors had access to combined and made myself insane, how about you

Artists, if you need coaching, Caro livestreams anatomy lessons with a solid structural method of figure drawing that novice and pro alike appreciate. Give her short format videos a watch and if you want more follow her; the focus on an individuals artistic goals and growth is well worth it.

More bird merc. These pens are nice and smooth

Set Rattus, verminous blade swinger, day blind and shedding fleas.

Here's me giving advice to a young artist:

I snuggled a real cutie pie. This is the most chill bird and they're really sweet. Fam is smitten

Gauntlet study from yesterday

Yo, you should follow Olga's work. Super charming sculpts that deserve more eyes. #miniature #diorama #gnome #trees #moss

1. There’s a place in the forest where the shade welcomes you and the quiet promises a long-needed rest. Beneath the crooked branches, you settle in, not noticing how the forest around you has gone unusually still.

"E'kenn we look the part, b'tha ones is deranged. I don't think that armor's come off once this campaign. Eats w'evers found, cooked or not. E's a loon if y'asks me! Your prompt helped me get out of a pretty long painting slump. Thanks yo

Huion tablet arrived, but the available graphics card ports won't support it without an adapter to DisplayPort. I don't want to sacrifice my HDMI to BIGASS tv. This means I'll have to venture into the frenzied droves of feral deal shoppers today.
