Ok so this is Phil Collins? And not Big Joel? 🧐

Ok so this is Phil Collins? And not Big Joel? 🧐

No one should ever believe good intentions or good faith from any Southern Baptist preacher, even one who left the SBC Not without substantial public amends made to the communities he has harmed by being a Southern Baptist pastor in the first place.

Whenever I hear about the so-called Male Loneliness Epidemic I always think to myself- I was lonely for years before I met Josh. And no one gave a shit.

in 2023 i posted this graph with the caption nearly 20 percent of gen z in the us is queer (and the number will keep rising until demands are met) 2 years later it's 23.1%. millennials increased to 12%. gen x to 4.8% and the number will keep rising until demands are met

There is this NPR interview with Christianity Today editor ( also ex Southern Baptist and current evangelical pastor) Russell Moore where he expresses shock that some Pastor Friends of his say that their parishioners complained that Jesus's own word were too soft & woke This anecdote is bullshit.

So when a bird builds a nest, it's beautiful and natural, but when I construct a bed on the roof out of pool noodles and glow-in-the-dark slime, I'm freaking out the neighborhood?

ngl I kind of think Sam Altman should be tried criminally? is that … feasible?

Heard a lot of buzz about the death of James Dobson since last Thursday? Need a primer on the monstrous man and his malign influence? The latest Bugbear Dispatch (now on Ghost!) gives you that plus a case for speaking ill of the dead when they deserve it www.bugbeardispatch.com/lets-speak-i...

Adam Raine, 16, died from suicide in April after months on ChatGPT discussing plans to end his life. His parents have filed the first known case against OpenAI for wrongful death. Overwhelming at times to work on this story, but here it is. My latest on AI chatbots: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...

Ai might not be able to suffer but billionaires can so let's focus our efforts there.

The latest special pleading of the AI bubble is even more irritating I keep thinking they've reached the Fuckass Event Horizon beyond which they can go no further And yet they continue to innovate new forms of foolishness and chicanery

Why are we re-running the Glassholes incident, this time with even uglier looking glasses

Union station, DC

I'm just curious- Raise your hand if your job is already quietly rolling back the AI integrations they loudly forced into production. 🤚🏻

fantastic lede from sam, and the rest of it ain’t too shabby either

Btw I’m encouraged by the number of subscriptions rolling in as I struggle with the massive upfront financial hit of the transition from Substack to Ghost. You all have got me thinking I might just get through this okay after all—but if you haven’t, please subscribe! www.bugbeardispatch.com

In recognition of James Dobson's all too delayed death, we republished an account of his legacy -- a three part series about evangelical child abuse, a culture Dobson disseminated and propagandized. buttondown.com/theswordandt...

i think comparing vote blue no matter who type democrat stans to sport fans isn't especially apt because if a sports team's GM was always making the roster worse on purpose in an attempt to win over fans of their most bitter rival, that man would be killed

James Dobson dedicated his life to evil and the world is worse because he made it so on purpose. defector.com/james-dobson...

Don't ever feel like you're not making real art if you're using a digital program to do it. It's just a different medium! I understand if someone meant to use physical art vs digital, but the whole digital vs traditional debate needed to end ages ago. Stop with the purist nonsense, it's gross.

Actual footage of James Dobson in hell

James Dobson truly one of the most evil mother fuckers that you might not know about.

HAHAHAHAHA JAMES DOBSON IS DEAD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA GOOD ROAST IN HELL, DEMON

The reason why I find the contempt displayed by other Americans on socials towards the South so upsetting is not because I am personally offended. It is because those attitudes have already had hugely negative material consequences.

I have talked to so many men who are actively looking for women who enjoy their hobbies And it's very sad that men like this are ruining that for y'all.

So are people going to hold the same vitriol for Idaho that the entire South gets constantly? Not that you should. You could just stop being weird about the South.

Do all oil painters end up dyeing their nail beds or am I just a particularly messy bitch?

Vincent Van Gogh invented being a weeb.

The Jojo's Bizarre Adventure model makes perfect sense for James Bond. You don't need to keep modernising it until we have a movie where the bad guy is ChatGPT that can make somebody a psychopath or some bullshit. Do a New Amsterdam Bond. Do a Miami Vice Bond. Add magic. Who cares!

The people dominating our political landscape, culture, and economy are just so stupid and full of shit it's almost impossible to describe

It's real weird how people love posting about how much they hate the entire South and want Big Revenge and cheer on weather disasters because of Trump winning but you never have the same energy for the entire Midwest minus Chicago.

I think people think that art taking a long time to learn means like a month or maybe a year and not an ever expanding process that progresses with you the entirety of your time drawing. You don't "finish" getting good at art because that's not the freaking point.

"Talent" isn't a thing, and the myth of it so damaging. Aptitude exists, but really it's INTEREST that matters. Are you interested in something enough to keep doing it over and over, so that you eventually get good at it? It's love that makes the repetition possible and (mostly) even enjoyable.

just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!

quality technique, my guy

I know I should not try to explain the Ethan Klein situation to my husband who is not online but I just keep trying to I need him to know about the skulls that Ethan probably sent to himself. (in my non-legally actionable opinion)

I love this so much and I am absolutely tearing up about it. The gentleness and plainness of this, the way he just lets her be her (and she seems so damn lovely, who wouldn’t?), the generosity. It isn’t going to solve the world’s problems, but this kind of humanity is a hell of a start.

We are not trivialising LLMs. Copyright theft is not trivial. Environmental damage is not trivial. Unreliability is not trivial. Risk to human cognition is not trivial. Ignoring consent when shoving it into every fucking thing while making us pay our hard-earned money for it is not trivial.

Hi Bluesky! I just launched my Big Cartel fabric art shop, and I was wondering if you could help spread the word? All of my creations are designed, hand-sewn, and hand-embroidered by me. Any sales are colossally appreciated. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Meet Melonie the Cosmic Watermelon! I designed and hand-sewed her. She can shoot seeds from her eyes as a natural defense mechanism, but this tickles a bit so she rarely uses this ability. She enjoys biting jerks, and encouraging beings everywhere to use sunscreen. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

a time-lapse of my latest dot mandala attempt:

the thing that trans people ask of the world is so tiny, really. just to be able to exist as the person they are, without the rest of us being weird or cruel about it. it's a deep shame on our society that we are unable to deliver on so small a thing.

Update on my Kiryu tattoo oil painting. I've been laying in midtones and also added part of the background.
