So, you should read A Song Of Legends Lost by @mhayinde.bsky.social. I’ve talked before about how hard it is these days for me to read without my own inner editor piping up about what I’d have done differently, or what I’d expect an editor to ask be changed. Didn’t get that here, just enjoyed it.

Interview with the Vampire but the interviewer is Isaac Chotiner

Oh hey! The painting tutorial I did for @zeogenesis.com is up on their website!

Jinao: “Besides, I work better alone.” MY DUDE, WHEN WHEN @mhayinde.bsky.social come get your fool? :p

I find it objectionable that as a partially-deaf 43 year-old on his way to have his ears syringed due to a wax build up I am *still* pained by the “anti-teenager” whine machine in a public stairwell. Like, c’mon. Surely I should get *some* upside from this.

Let's do a #Blacksky #Artistvart to make Black artists on Bluesky and Blacksky more visible! I'll go first: I'm an editorial illustrator of 11+ years, and on here you can call me Whatevertron! DM for contact details if interested!

It is hardly the point but a) trans people existed in Medieval Europe, b) lots of currencies were used in Medieval Europe, not just gold, which was in fact uncommon, c) alchemy was a lot more common in early modern Europe, d) women are not a commodity you absolute weapons????

People are making Rapture jokes like there's no tomorrow

As a professional art-director/graphic-designer let me tell you this poster’s typography/design reeks of panic.

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

GUESS WHAT WEEK IT IS

Right, Knights of Guinevere time, let's go...

these may be the most useful hand-drawing tips i've seen

Let the record reflect that I am also a big fan of this series.

Good news, better shamefully late than never. Everything is far far far too slow but the once solid wall of western support for Israel by default is eroding brick by brick for many months now.

Advert for SkyGo: "stream and download great TV, films and live sport on your laptop, tablet, or mobile!" Actual SkyGo app: "only available on tablet, iPhone and Apple TV" Look I HAVE to watch Man U vs Chelsea, Man U always lose when I watch and currently they're one nil up with Chelsea on 10 men.

this exists it is called thinking

“don’t go to the mall. Don’t feel safe going to the pub, or on a night out. Don’t feel confident that your privacy will be maintained in a job. Don’t ever assume that people around you will protect you if threatened.” This is the environment, the Britain that Media, Gov and EHRC have created for us

I think you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who just simply, wholesomely LOVES football as much as Ally McCoist.

Special edition is sold out in the U.K., but there are still some standard hardbacks for the moment!

Actually genuinely evil

Amidst all the misery, some really great news.

Since this whole debate is still happening, and since we are still not listening I will summarize what I understand the argument to be in the Lingua Franca of white nerds: Lord of the Rings analogies.

it is good for everyone, no matter what your gender is, to have female role models

Capitulation only emboldens them. Don’t give up an inch.

I wonder whether this is partly due to Covid. People started to queue in a socially-distanced manner when stuff opened up again, and for some people that was their first experience of pubs, and for others it just stuck.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Britain's chemical castration plan for sex offenders seems like the most obvious attempt to avoid doing anything about sex offending, while giving the govt an excuse to release large numbers of offenders despite the fact people can and do offend while chemically castrated.

Clearly I must have misunderstood what “every day” means.

"Once you use ChatGPT, you don't want to think for yourself anymore" THAT IS A TERRIFYING SENTENCE

What, and I cannot stress this enough, the absolute shit.

The writers this season aren’t even trying anymore

Although this wouldn’t explain why he was talking about it at an OpenAI launch, then.

Tonight’s #warhammer40k game was vs @daievanya.bsky.social’s World Eaters. I probably shouldn’t have infiltrated… However, it turned out to be a *ahem* genius plan which drew the enemy out of position and separated their forces, allowing me to die in a controlled fashion while I grabbed objectives.

I honestly didn't predict the Your Party experiment to be even more of a shitshow than Change UK, and yet here we are.

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

Everything is terrible but waterfalls are good.

The three types of game dev job listings

ah, well

Tom is short for Thomathan.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

Along Came A Spider-Man: Far From Home Alone 2: Lost In New York Stories

I want my country back … from those who profit as public transport is run into the ground , those who get rewards for putting shit in the sea, those financiers and bankers who will destabilise a country for a quick buck, basically everyone Farage will stand up for if he wins an election

Smash two movies together to make a new movie: The Empire Strikes Back To The Future X3: The Last Stand By Me A Taste Of Honey I Shrunk The Kids Innerspaceballs

Band is still on hiatus, so Tuesday Night’s Alright For #MarvelCrisisProtocol. My Hellfire Club went up against Magic Tom’s Disciples of Apocalypse and got *battered* into a Turn 3 loss (10 VPs per turn available and I just couldn’t get any damage going).

Them: legally this is the way it is Me: so just to clarify, the law says that this happens? Them: er well you have to understand Me: ok yeah so you just made that up and hoped I'd be scared by "legally"
