This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

Horror isn’t just about what you feel in the moment, it’s what you suddenly feel grabbing a midnight snack, or days after when you’re walking your dog down a street once thought familiar.

HEGSETH: *points to general's ribbon bars* "What'd you get that one for? Fucking your mother?" GENERAL: *sternly* killing vietnamese children

anyway, reminder that Brando Sando is a mormon in good standing aka he tithes 10% of his income to a church that just announced they filed a brief saying that protecting trans rights infringes on their religious freedom ✌️

the worst fucking part is he's right.

Even in the darkest of hours, there can be love and joy if we look for them. On the eve of battle, Princess Galaxy of Heraldale shares a quiet moment with Bifrost the raven-gryphon. Two scarred women finding strength together. 🐉🪐📚💙📚🌈📚 brian90.itch.io/legends-of-h...

This passage nearly broke me.

Hit 30,000 words on the current WIP! I think maybe 15,000 to go. For this milestone, a working title reveal. The Mercy Mansion Murder!

American Protestantism is a dead-eyed, grinning husk with nothing animating it but hysterical fear of death and a sadistic desire to inflict punishment.

An H.R. Giger creation being owned by the Disney corporation is the saddest outcome for a cultural artifact you could possibly think of

The invented martyrdom of Charlie Kirk is one of the greatest collective acts of blasphemy in the history of Christianity in America. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-shamef...

One the things that stink about fake nostalgia vids is that I actually like looking at real old b roll for glimpses at vanished places.

Halloween (the movie) is on my mind, so I just want to say that Michael Myers is not Dr. Loomis’ fault.

MrBeast nearly burning a man to death and EA buckling under the leveraged buyout from hell are the exact same problem expressed differently. The rich will burn everything if it makes them a single extra dollar or feel one emotion, and they must be stopped

Happy werewolf monday

Nah, fuck adding silly music to videos like this. That only helps lessen the potential horror of this moment. That is someone cycling for their life. Gotta make that number go up, though.

What the f#ck!

Had the pleasure of drawing this for @jacobgeller.com's new book "You’re Not Overthinking It", published by @lostincult.co.uk

It's the spookiest time of the year.

Side bar, that ICE guy with the glaring white cowboy hate is extra dumb. You think you're going into a warzone and you make your head the easiest target in the world??!?

Brynjar flipped Mordred the rudest gesture he knew. The Wolf-Lord laughed once and flicked another lightning bolt at Brynjar, strong enough to send him twitching back to the floor. The floor was nice, he decided while down there. He could stay on the floor for a little while and see what happened.

The Legends of Heraldale saga is now complete on Itch. Get all four books in the story of Princess Galaxy and her war against the Avalon Empire for half-off while the sale lasts! 🐉🪐📚💙📚🌈📚 #furry #furrywriting #indiewriter #itchio itch.io/s/159498/leg...

I have said many times, Sanderson is personally nice, but so what. Nice is cheap. He pumps money into a hate organization. That he can launder his own reputation effectively is the only think separating him from Rowling.

Sure, it's great to have 'subversive' "the princess doesn't need a knight and rescues herself from the dragon," but we should have more stories about the heroism of the dragon attempting to save everyone from the monarchy.

hey i knee jerk reblobbed this but there are a bunch of people in the replies fact checking it and OP doesn't seem to care: the guy trademarked his logo for inktober and you can't use it, or sometimes even the word Inktober, if you're selling work you made from it. He does not """own your work"""

:( *the organ from the Kraken theme in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest* :)

For those unaware: The guy who created Inktober tried to trademark the concept, and would DMCA and Copyright Strike people selling their own Inktober Collections without paying him royalties

Magic: The Gathering revives its prose novel line after 5 years, beginning with the wizard university Strixhaven in Omens of Chaos. @seananmcguire.bsky.social @magic.wizards.com Read on: www.thepopverse.com/literary-str...

Fans of this sort of 'cosy' storytelling often talk about it as a salve or cure for the harshness of reality but in my experience it's more like an anaesthetic and they're mistaking the empty numbness for warmth

Dread Delusion is a masterclass in designing game mechanics around a deeply thematic narrative, says @gaycannibalism.bsky.social www.typebarmagazine.com/2025/08/29/g...

This is literally what the actual "siege" of the auxiliary ICE building looks like

This looks so cool

Capri and Sun are East African savannah pouched rats, a species known throughout the world for its smarts, size and sense of smell.

*sweep sweep* ah I see youve noticed her sweeping leaves off the soft earth

I’ve been busy today, is there a new reason I’m seeing people declaring the ai bubble burst?

Another thought about Marvel Zombies: what a cool use for Ikaris and Captain Marvel.

The two flavors of doomer: those who think the fascists will last forever, and those who think there just won’t be anything after the fascists.

*pokes head into MCU Headquarters* Hey, Wanda can’t zombify the Celestial growing inside Earth, can she?

Monthly Halloween (1985-1995) was the most important publication ever to exist
