One of the most amazing apotropaic markings I've ever seen is carved into the font at St. George's Church, Clun. This intricate hexafoil pattern invoked protection wherever it was and protected against maleficent spirits and ill intent. #apotropaic #folklore #history #churchcrawling #churches

Bravo that sub who wrote this kicker 👏👏👏

A limerick. Based on a true story.

Hobgoblin stuns at the #MetGala

When a massive movie star can show humanity, why can’t all the other celebrities too? Back in the ‘80s, the >real< legends [like Liz Taylor or Madonna] spoke out for Queer ppl. We remember. If an artist doesn’t speak up for the underdog, they’re not an artist. Real artists use their voice.

An NYT op-ed strikes at the root of my criticisms of Anthropic’s PR blitz related to mass job displacement by AI. I think it’s unlikely to happen soon due to both adoption lag and datacenter capacity. But for AI companies to believe it’s going to happen and build these products anyway is a choice.

if others don't appreciate snail, that is on them. Snail is Good.

Thought it over, and this is the funniest shot in any movie ever

I should draw more stupid X-Men drawings sometimes. I like making them look like goobers.

I’m also extremely biased, because my little guys look really good on pop-up terrain!

Happy birthday, Dad. Wish you were here. You’d know what to do. Or at least you’d know what to write. ❤️

GNU Terry Pratchett, whose words will echo long after we, and our children, and our children’s children have moved on thank you, as always, for making me a better person (quote from Reaper Man)

That’s right, folks: MODOK is gay

no matter what editorial tried to do over the years, we all know what Gerry was going for with the fourth panel there. Hubris to tragedy in a single sweep of the eyes across one image. Doesn't matter that it got undermined. It was a key moment in pop art that haunts anyone who sees it

when sir terry came to see us do a play of one of his books he brought us a magnum of champagne and told us, “this is the most powerful bottle of champagne in the world and can blow your heads clean off, so you all have to ask yourselves one question…”

90% of my animation friends are unemployed. I'm on hiatus. The value of animation is proven every year. Greenlight new shows! Don't overdevelop. Don't chase trends. You can't chase trends w/ animation! It takes too long! Tell good stories. Take risks."Demon Hunters" was a risk & look how it paid off

All leading men / lead singers can be divided into potential James Bonds or Doctor Whos. (Now you're probably going to look for exceptions, but that's not the game here. The game is just run through a list and decide)

A thing I really love but I bet some people hate is kids drawing on pavements and pathways in chalk. I think it's brilliant and should be encouraged

I think if your relationship to drinking is such that you need a drink after a hard day, or because you’re bored or stressed, then maybe you need to think about that a little

I think part of the reason some are finding it hard to see the parliamentary drinking stuff as it looks is that too many people probably already drink more than is good for them

Consider: footpaths

This is the first technically brilliant piece of comedy I’ve ever seen this fraudulent toxic buffoon do. Nigel Tufnel good. A masterclass. Also: props to the team in the production booth who take his casual diss and then double down on making the joke work harder, using vision mixing.

sorry

Starting to block out the dialogue system. Yes I know the guns aren't being held very well, they're very temporary #gamedev #godot #lowpoly
