"Do not make direct eye contact, twin 9mm miniguns flagging you is twin 9mm miniguns flagging you."

the fact that the average person just does not give a half of a shit about trans people and what is being done to us daily (and what is being threatened) is really really really starting to wear me down. just total apathy, even from the people that purport to care

I just rewatched Children of Men, and honestly it never felt more relevant. The horrifying treatment of immigrants looked all too familiar, and the rest of the dystopia felt far too real. Hell, even the demographic collapse premise, which seemed insane in 2006, might come true as well!

the long watch

The Ghost in the Shell - The Characters

Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data. This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide. We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.

Good news. Less people have dementia. Used to be 1/3 by age 85, now more like 1/10. Bad news? We actually don't know why. Less lead, valium and alcohol? More screen time for neural simulations? 🤷

fucking hell are they still doing this? I remember being a kid and reading every year that A Levels Got Easier and some Eaton fuck trying to explain why kids were dumb now. It's pervert shit to sit around as a full-grown adult and kvetch over whether school is too easy. Go outside, freaks.

started doodling then went fuck it and stopped

Alright I'm not fucking around when it comes to Skyrim modding anymore

A Hyperlane station, with a set of field generating rings that ships can go through to go FTL to the next station. Concept commission work for AuriviaRyuna

boycotts work. anyone stating otherwise is spreading state & corp sanctioned propoganda

I got Brooklyn as a Mother’s Day present a year ago. I refer to her as my dumpster cat with great affection. after a nuclear war, she’d be the cat to emerge from the rubble, missing tail & all. I love her to death.

There is no hell hot enough for any of these people.

everytime i see someone put giant ass nipple rings on a character i just wanna. Hello? is Titty home?

“I’m the strongest!” Yoru “Not this again…”

I think the US should actually enforce its already-existing price gouging laws and then enhance them by saying sites like eBay and StockX can’t charge more than 15% over RRP for electronics or clothes, with an embargo of two years. Scalping should be illegal

7 months to go

Mensa Reddit is amazing

I have never felt more seen by a passage in a book

The $1.50 slice [ #art #oc #watercolor ]

The most detailed map of 85,000 volcanoes on Venus: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... There's 118 volcanoes over 100 km in diameter, with the remaining 99% smaller than 5 km. Thanks to Venus' scorched geography, they're all exposed and visible on the surface, unlike on Earth.

DARPA's Excalibur: www.darpa.mil/research/pro... It's a program to develop optical phased array laser combining kW-class fiber lasers into arrays with tens of subapertures reaching ~100 kW total beam power at near-diffraction-limited beam quality.

[cars crashing, sirens blaring, helicopter blades whirring, comical old-timey horns sounding, from somewhere a “BOIOIOIIIIIIING” followed by an “AWOOGA” can be heard]

Bimodal nuclear power for Jupiter and beyond: pubs.aip.org/aip/acp/arti... @robert_zubrin works out the missions possible with a 10 kWe NEBA reactor that produces either 5000s Isp with Xenon thrusters or 1000s with H2 thermal, all while fitting inside a Atlas 2AS launcher.

The huge NK-12 turboprops aboard the Tu-95 are so long because they need to house reduction gearboxes for contra-rotating propellers that can handle 15,000 horsepower. That creates an awkward (and exhaust-dirty) arrangement in the inboard nacelles that contain the landing gear.

[wip] Bounder visual tweaks in-game I think it could use some more detail in the middle and on top. Since I want to make swappable color schemes, liveries, and camos, any texture work will need to be tileable. Nothing fun like edge wear n stuff.

goons again but i rigged them this time

The ability for creators of all kinds to hone their craft on the dole instead of needing to come from money to get anywhere

I definitely appreciate Shirow for being like... I wanna draw my sexy badass babe in the leotard armor design but it wouldn't make sense if she's the only one in that armor. And then he must've been like, "Nah it's great actually, all the middle aged men get in the sexy leotards too."
