They got the big game on at the bar

Liu Bei visits Zhuge Liang three times at Luckin Coffee.

Second time in 3 days I’m posting this Vonnegut quote wrt AI.

Brain Rats! Real Lich Hours 103: The Warrens of Thought, available exclusively to our patrons at patreon.com/duckfeedtv

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

Generally speaking, the minute you see the word “Fabio” attached to an article about romance other than as history, you can throw the entire thing into the garbage. It’s a sneer, designed as communication from one person who thinks romance is stupid to another.

fuck this lady, fuck the nyt reporter, fuck all of this. fuck amazon for introducing the KU page read model that makes this possible, fuck our tech overlords. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/08/b...

This is straight up manufacturing consent now

Very cool! Olivia Colman came out as nonbinary, "I’ve always felt sort of nonbinary, and never felt massively feminine in my being female. I've always described myself to my husband as a gay man. And he goes, 'Yeah, I get that.' And so I do feel at home and at ease [among the LGBTQ community.]”

SHE’S FINISHED! My 5-foot-long Enterprise D oil painting is complete after nearly 100 hours of work! I remember being 13 years old or so and trying to draw her and it was so hard, and all I wanted was to be able to do something like this. Truly a dream come true. 🥰🖖

It's just that the main things we now perceive as "the internet" are actually like 5 websites that obey engagement algorithms designed to make money by any means, and which force even interesting people to behave like brands.

The radical and unrealistic position of "no concentration camps" The reasonable moderate position of "some concentration camps in certain circumstances"

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

🦀 🫴 for you

it's especially jarring to still see all the like "fight our fascist regime, read my substack" posts

this trans person has been talking about how bad so many of her fucking ideas was since, oh, I dunno, 2015? 2016? but it takes an embarrassing grilling example for the mainstream to see it

The Aim for the Ace anime is made from the same stuff as any solid sports TV drama, but offers an incredible lesson in delivery precisely because it's working with such limited tools.

DON’T LET ME DOWN, MY SWEET BABY-

wake up, babe, the best "explain like I'm 5" on vaccines is BACK!

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

I hate feeling like this and I hate myself

2025 was my last year managing AWA's Super Happy Fun Sell, and in the latest Let's Anime I look back on the seventeen or eighteen years of being in the center of that whirlwind of secondhand commerce! letsanime.blogspot.com/2026/02/what...

And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you *know*. That the bourgeois are not human.

this post never fails to crack me up

One more angel pic hehehe

Bluesky cropping is so ass I have to put these in separate posts but I feel fucking crazy cool in this

I took a little time before work to read The Hobbit and try to draw Smaug based on the description like @rangedtouch.bsky.social asked. He sounds like a Bat-Piggy with a bunch of arms to me.

i get really emotional about stuff like this, we've all just yearned to make weird little guys since the beginning of human history and that's really beautiful!!!!!!!

He cannot be more evil than Apple or google 🤷🏾‍♀️

Do you trust him because Cell is powerful or distrust him because Cell is evil

I'm in Chile right now visiting family, and this is the type of shit I love about latin america.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"

I am having a good time.

Comics are good

There has never, in my 30 years behind the counter, been a run of comics like DC's Absolute line. Nearly every issue being reprinted AGAIN. People come in every single day looking for single issues, and it's a lot of new readers.
