Nah you know what, I'm done. As of today, I'm officially going on tax strike. Our government has failed us. Every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day, of every week, of every month, of every year of our entire lives, they have failed us. We have to starve this monster

Wrote a thing: The carnage associated with fossil fuel is why speeding the transition to renewables is good for international stability as well as everything else. Fossil fuel is inseparable from violence, and dependence on it it has created a brutal world order....

So… they cut funding for research into cures for cancer but are going to spend loads of money *checks notes* running a whole other country?

Cancel your US trips and boycott US services and products as much as you can. I've been doing it since the tariffs and threats on Canada last year and it's pretty easy to do it. Use the BuyBeaver app and it'll show you where products are from and who gets the money.

The 'Tandem Call', a powerful, dangerous experimental birrin aviation test-bed. It was designed by House Kendi to test many rediscovered aerodynamic principles from before the Fall War. The wisdom of combining these principles all into one airframe remains to be seen... #illustration #scifiart

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

Great Grandma, You always know just what to say!

Me five years ago: I wonder if I'm going to be a luddite about any new technology someday. Me now: SMASH THE DATACENTERS.

"users quickly bypassed the AI's safeguards by prompting it to roleplay as"- ok so what I'm hearing again and again, is they've built a dumb guy in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. You just gotta run back into frame in a wedding dress and now the AI thinks you're getting married. Robots are now all Elmer Fudd

THATS THE FREAKIN TANK HANGAR

A local kc metro artist had their tío kidnapped by the secret police. His uncle was here on a work visa and was following the law when he was illegally kidnapped at an immigration court check in. Nunez is now asking for help. Please throw in $5 if you can afford it. www.gofundme.com/f/another-vi...

"Something that I have found difficult for non-artists to understand is that the ‘early messy stuff’ that non-arty folks insist can be ‘fixed by a human artist later’ is where the best work is done." True of every creative field. You can't start building halfway up; the foundation has to be sound.

Call your senators when you can, folks. It's late for a lot of the US, but the fight's not over.

If you are still on X/Twitter in any capacity as an artist, get off there right freaking now.

Data centres are being marketed as 'vital cogs in the energy transition', but the metaphor is wrong. They're black holes, sucking up time, light, matter and energy from the decarbonisation space and redeploying it to protecting big tech's profits. www.businessinsider.com/ford-data-ce...

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

One more Mothership fanart tonight, this time the executive transport, one of my favorite designs in the book. And an experimental black and white version -- not really dialed in quite right ATM.

miss piggy could have announced half life 3 and i'm still thinking about that

can't wait to play paladins 2 on the steam sphere

And some solipsistic fanart of my own work in the Shipbreaker's Toolkit (again, Mothership). This processing setup has proved to be really fun and has produced a lot of neat illustrations in the past week or two -- this will be the first of many, hopefully.

if elected president i promise to be just as corrupt as our current leadership, perhaps even moreso. but I will also reinvest the entire defense and policing budgets into creating what i call The Health Cigarette

there is a problem with datacenters. they have a huge footprint. they use a huge amount of electricity. much of the electricity they use is eating up renewable capacity and forcing us to keep natgas plants alive. agricultural water usage in the county is 3.5 orders of magnitude larger.

One of the key tells that a tiny artist account is a scammer is the bio full of shit like "making dreams into reality" Real artists say shitl like "i don't know what I'm doing" or "please don't look at me"

ok thanks i guess

(Data) This.. cool "S". What are it's origins? (Me) It's one of earth's most profound mysteries, Data. (Data, connecting the diagonal lines) Intriguing.

To the people that think space exploration and monitoring is a waste of money: understanding things happening in space is critical to the safety of our modern world.

Hurricane Melissa, Oct. 2025. Breaking through the eyewall of one of the strongest Category 5 storms in history. 250+ mph winds, extreme turbulence, and dangerous g-forces — but this is the moment we’ve trained for. 🎨: @zorrito.bsky.social

In The Labyrinth of Time, entering the Ziggurat without a lantern is supposed to show a black screen. However, the developers put in the wrong filename for the black screen, so it fails to render, showing a black screen instead

The view from from the windows of the Apollo 12 Lunar Module just after landing 56 years ago. Apollo 12 was a great mission although the loss of the color TV camera at the beginning of the first EVA was a blow to live network coverage. In due time we saw the color and B&W photos the crew returned.
