Art isn't supposed to be efficient

The Frog General (青蛙將軍) is one of southern Fujian’s most charming folk deities, a fallen Tang dynasty general said to have returned as a spirit in frog form. He favors high places on temple walls and answers summons made with clean vessels and strong liquor, 1/3 #folklore

never fucking forgive them for what they've done to the computer

I’m so furious about how stupid everything is

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

This is a reminder that April is Procrastination Awareness Month.

Providing some older art for guessing purposes. I have three possible correct answers, but I will be frankly surprised if anyone gets them.

i am really sick of the anti-sex attitude in fandom in general. "gooner art style", "this is for gooners", "the gooners will ruin this" PLEASE get off the internet and experience life, demonizing intimacy makes you sound sheltered at best and like a demented Baptist boomer at worst

“Merely disliking this thing/person for personal reasons is inadequate, I must make my dislike a sign of moral superiority and a Righteous Cause” is one of the worst social things the internet has supercharged

happy Piccolo Day

one must exercise discretion and inner peace when attempting to procure the proper gherkin from its holy vessel

One for my fellow geeks on #StarWarsDay: the lightsaber handles were made from vintage flash guns. Star Wars had a small budget so set decorator Roger Christian went looking around thrift shops & found a 1940s Grafex camera with flash gun attached & voila!

Jokes on you, I can't remember enough of anything I love to populate a top ten list off the top of my head. The second you ask I will forget I ever even watched a tv show or listened to a song

Once at the number three, being the third number be reached, then, lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

“People need to be nicer to each other online” and “people need to develop thicker skin because it’s not normal or healthy to get upset at everything you don’t agree with” are two statements than can and should coexist actually

i don’t want my appliances to be smart or connect to the internet. i want them to do one mechanical task for 100 years

Current status.

Poring over for giving it consideration. Pouring over is for syrup and waffles.

I don’t know man, I like it when people can do the thing they’re trained for and afford to eat at the same time.

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

don’t ever lose sight of what’s important in life (the two fictional characters in your mind that keep you going)

Cat quote of the night. 3-7-26 "'Cat?' 'Cat' can be anybody from the guy in the gutter to a lawyer, doctor, the biggest man to the lowest man, but if he's in there with a good heart and enjoy the same music together, he's a cat." - Louis Armstrong #CatQuoteOfTheNight #MenWithCats

I do not like this gen AI I do not like what it implies I do not want it in my art I do not think it makes you smart I do not want it in my games I do not like its goals and aims I do not want it in my books I do not like the way it looks I do not like it, I don't care I do not want it anywhere

I think we often give social media brainrot too much credit for making people horny for odd shit. I guarantee you people who want to fuck trains pre-date not only this platform, but also the concept of social media, the existence of the Internet, and the advent of modern telecommunications.

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

In my day combat was civilized. You took an action, you waited your turn, your waited for the enemy to take THEIR turn. None of this Active Time Battle stuff. Real time combat was for Action RPGs. Which are just beat 'em ups with an English degree.

I reject the framing of being Anti-AI being Anti-technology. I'm not anti technology. I love solar, high speed rail, and mRNA vaccines. I refuse to participate in the sunk cost delusion of technology falsely marketed as something it's not, and causes damage that outweighs any potential benefits.

one of my favorite things about having online friends is seeing pictures of the food they make and going "gimme some" like you're next door neighbors and not thousands of miles away from each other

Ocs are just so cool. Everyone should have ocs.
