@davidgerard.co.uk I like your analysis of Yud and less wrong. I wrote a whole series of short stories and novellas based on the acasual boogeyman that gets you by just lesrning about it. Its such a great example of a modern curse.

more painting with acrylics. Flames? Spirits? Visions in a dark forest?

Here are some more of these Dark Watchers. Are they flames? spirits? Sirens? Maybe some of my Warrior Nun friends can weight in. Not sure where Im going with these...

Doing some painting with slow dry acrylics. Rising summer heat from an afternoon at the beach.

went up a hill. 756m of elevation.

the second one with white clouds on blue sky feel like a Canadian Group of Seven painting. Lovely.

This would have been right at home on Netflix' #warriornun . @simondavisbarry.bsky.social @toddgiroux.bsky.social Can we get Cher and have another kick at a season 3? :)

To prevent deer from being hit by cars Finland has tried using reflective paint. (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/avoid-deer-strikes-finland-painting-deer-antlers-reflective-paint-180949792/) File this under "solutions to modern problems that summon the old gods."

@shinyzeni.bsky.social The back to back 40:56’s are cool man. That’s fantastic consistency.

@shinyzeni.bsky.social Cool this place is much nicer these days. While it was still invite only I managed to bring over a big chunk of the fandom of the Netflix show I’m the vfx supe for. Good people.

Ok Bluesky. Let’s see how we can elevate visibility to indie published kindle books. Here is a short story I wrote about the rise of AI. #kindle #indieauthor www.amazon.ca/Rokos-Basili...

Jimmy Carter, the American president who gained superpowers by entering the core of a nuclear power plant to prevent a meltdown, dies at 100. RIP

I've shared this quote before but I'll share it again, as it's one I've been thinking about a lot as I've watched how our oligarchs have been behaving over the past few months.

Like fauna responding to dangers not yet visible to humanity. Of *course* Miyazaki, the preeminent studier and depicter of life, whose art emerges from his sense of social responsibility, would intuitively grasp the crisis such a deeply inhuman - and more importantly unalive - system represents.

I keep returning to Miyazaki’s response to “AI animation” all the way back in 2016, years before public access/primetime, declaring it “An insult to life itself” within minutes Struck how the absolute moral clarity of that impression still resonates today, unlike this so called Generative effort.

A machine is capable of producing a moral horror without realizing it has done so.

I think about that Miyazaki clip a lot, about how his visceral response was that what he was being shown was both inhuman and inhumane—an affront to both the artist and to human dignity.

@dannyduke.bsky.social Hey. If you want to chat about work stuff... I'm a VFX supe at Vancouver's "The Embassy VFX". Especially if you're working on anything Vancouver based and need to check off BC/canadian film credit requirements. We work on commercials, tv, and film.

It’s eerie how much they know us. Surveillance state!?

What’s up Bluesky peeps? What’s new? Who’s got something good going on?

@flyrobynfly.bsky.social This is the better avatar photo as well. The X one is way less good. This has Audrey Hepburn vibes. Keep it.

it’s just been me and dad since calgon took mom in ‘86

@flyrobynfly.bsky.social Phew. thought I'd have to miss out on all the sass.

Immediately thought this was about something else being a fan of AppleTV’s Silo series (and an old school fan of the books, when they were just short stories - Wool) #silo #wool
