There will always be extremely difficult things here on Earth, as has been the case throughout human history. That’s just how our species is—beautiful and intelligent, foolish and cruel. That’s why I find joy in my passion for sci-fi, and why I share it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to function. 😅

congratulations to trump and bibi for starting a war and immediately making the iranian regime the strongest and richest it has been in its entire history incredible, world-historic geopolitical fuckup

Not going to finish reading this but assume it ended in glory and great victory in the midterm elections

this whole scene reminded me strongly of the bit with alfred molina and the firecracker-tossing asian guy in Boogie Nights. you know the scene. with sister christian

Bal got me a bunch of airplane related stuff over his travels, but one gag patch touched my heart the most:

Draw your fursona in this style if they love to sing-a

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!!!!

Oh no wait actually it’s

these are some good tweets i saved from the Site-that-Was

if we’re discussing best tweets, this is the objective best.

Happy 51st Birthday to Pedro Pascal 🎂

you can be a sexagenarian or a septuagenarian or an octogenarian but nobody is ever a duogenarian or trentogenarian or a quatrogenarian or even a cinquegenarian

this was a really good movie and tony gilroy did andor so if you liked andor check this out

I painted this back in 2020 as an experiment: a still life, painted digitally, but no digital assists: no layers, no layer effects (like Multiply), no undo, one round brush adjustable by size, no eyedropper, a separate photo reference, just as close to oil painting as possible. it came out good.

I drew this in 2021 in honor of the mars perseverance rover landing, thought about it today for obvious reasons

SLS, NASA's Moon rocket 🌙🚀

its wild how you can be talking with someone and they seem perfectly intelligent and normal and they'll just casually bust out with their beliefs that the moon landings were fake. they just walk around all day believing that, living their life perfectly normally

Wait till the Artemis II crew finds out an emergency situation has arisen and they’re the only ship in the quadrant

Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content. "I will not comply." They sacked her and cops escorted her out. She's a hero. This banned author just donated.

thats right! 10% OFF everything in the store all april! And there's a few easter eggs for even more discounts coming up!! No foolin! AND free shipping in Canada as always, AND the duties seem to be lower now for US customers (calculated at checkout)

i refuse to let trump and musk take away my love of space exploration and rockets and NASA. they can't have that shit. It's the last thing i believe in about america and the world. that we can get our shit together and do this. we can do amazing things if we stop killing each other for five minutes

if you wanna tell me this is fake or whatever you can just not bother

good luck and godspeed 🚀🌛

Ah frick am i missing the moon launch because I’m stuck in a grocery store line :(

Hey what up dePiglio

“Avuncular” and “unc” mean the same thing and if you point this out, it’s a supremely unc move

as a retail employee if I found a gate to the Backrooms hidden away somewhere in the stock area it would be a perfect place to go and nap and take breaks

I've now had three or four of these kind of replies from some shitty AI bot plugging their piece of shit app or whatever the fuck and it is incredibly annoying. fuck off with this shit

Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking around a microscopic volvox algae colony. 🫧🐻🧪

the backrooms is the primal fear of when youre a little kid and you go into a place little kids aren't supposed to go

by the way there's Shadowrunners now, cool cool cool

Interiors A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1971)

its annoying when companies put out april fools "products" that are way cooler and better than anything else they ever do, think geek used to do that as a test and then release the product for real if there was enough interest in it

I dont think I've ever seen something more Cadence-coded in my LIFE @supportourpoops.bsky.social

Make friends with other horny people with no expectations up front and you’ll never lack for companionship

I wish I knew how to tell people struggling with the modern dating scene of constant ghosting and unreliable hookups to go to a furry con or a kink event

I see some people are frustrated by how strident the anti-AI sentiment has gotten on here but whose fault is that, do you think

i didn't know that the Daily Wire spent tens of millions on a fantasy series based on the Pendragon Cycle of novels with an all-white cast where the director expressly stated that no female character would ever beat a male in battle and it was supposed to be the 'anti-woke' game of thrones. lmaoooo

i know in my bones that we're gonna start seeing fruitsonas within the next few months, perhaps weeks. it gives me no pleasure to report this

someday i'll overcome my innate need to Explain Myself

its a hard lesson to learn that someone whose art you really vibe with and who clearly has many of the same influences as you do isn't necessarily going to want to be friends with you. they have their reasons. i keep having to re-learn this lesson.

This is my trans agenda

if they cross that Rubicon and overturn the 14th Amendment then that's it. the place we all knew as "America" is over, and the new entity with its flag and name is something else. it means the confederates won the civil war after all.

Like what do you mean Jacques Demy directed an English-language live-action adaptation of The Rose of Versailles that predates the anime and was funded largely by Shiseido Cosmetics
