I could animate the video, officially. I've got a portfolio. I'm just putting that out there

also this altogether could be the basis of mountain goats song easily

On the bright side this does show how far I've come in the last few years. I survived the heart failure so I could immediately die this way I guess

When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”

I’d add that this is also evidence of just how mentally and morally cooked the tech oligarchy is. They used to know this was “inside voice” stuff. Now it’s meant to be the organizing principles of society.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

SO close to release of the new RQ books. Probably next week. Then back to Fallen Hero full time, I've been puttering away in the background but I want the next demo done!

Your Sunday summary of the past week in FLASH GORDON — a sequence that's been in my head since the very beginning of my run on the strip — brought to life by guest artist @sandyjarrell.com! Enjoy:

I don't think I have ever said this in any format before -- but if (and only if) you want to be a GREAT ttRPG designer, you need to play LOTS of different games. Different CLASSES of games. Including games you hate, so you can understand WHY you hate them. Not doing so is lazy. #OwensHeadspace

Final cover reveal…! In stores July 29th from @idwpublishing.com Written by @ethansparker.bsky.social and @grifsheridan.bsky.social, illustrated by me!

Swedish 🇸🇪 PM Kristersson concedes that the US 🇺🇸 and Israel 🇮🇱 are in violation of "traditional international law," suggesting by implicature there's an "alternative" international law that allows their warfare. The concept is every bit as insidious as Kellyanne Conway's notion of "alternative facts."

Ceramics experiments are turning out great!

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr 1. barely works 2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate) 3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

The Art of War is very funny once you understand it for what it actually is, which is Warfare 101 For Dipshit Nobles the intended audience is exactly people like Pete Hegseth

this makes me feel like i finally gotta start watching the pitt

just admit you can't do anything and leave me alone about it! god!!!!!!!

After big dams on the upper Klamath River in far northern CA were removed in 2024, Chinook (king) salmon migrated upstream for the first time in 100+ years--and now they have hatched.

we know

Another, very different, horse sculpture for this update! It’ll be available this Friday, April 17th at 8pm Eastern time.

Back to the taxes (and the anxiety)...

The Enemy Within campaign is one of the best epic campaigns out there!

Thrilled to have spent time writing that caption yesterday...

I’m increasingly convinced that fandom has become a reactionary phenomenon What was once an anti-corporate, pro-queer transformative experience has turned into a form of identity politics where fandom participants identify w/ their favorite series. Then use this to extract demands out of others

Alright, sales text is finalized and done. Now I need to finish my damned taxes before the proofreading document comes back tomorrow. I hate book keeping so damn much!

I taught about the Gaulldet 11 alongside this article for the future of human evolution. Disability in space is a good way to think about what traits that are considered “dis” -ability in one context maybe a “super”-ability in another context. gizmodo.com/why-we-need-...

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

I do not appreciate my hormones, nor do I appreciate panic attacks but tomorrow is another day I guess

Most of us worry sometimes about death and the afterlife. Most of us don't think about it in terms of eels. But the 4th-Century BC poet Philetaerus was not most of us. “Fear death," he warned us. "For when you are dead, you cannot eat eels.” 🗃️🧪

Gun to my head, what's my favorite Frazetta Conan piece? The cover he did for "Conan the Usurper": it's got the danger, the sense of power about to uncoil, the macabre, the exotic, the none-too-subtle sexual charge in the imagery

This is the culmination of SIXTEEN YEARS of dogged work by everyday Hungarians. You think that felt hopeless sometimes? I'm sure it did. 👏 Don't 👏 give 👏 up 👏

One problem with TTRPGs is that a lot of the mainstream, from APs to the games they play, are aesthetically radical but culturally Protestant.

JD Vance is America’s Liz Truss. She killed the Queen. He killed the Pope and now, metaphorically, Viktor Orbán.

Orban eating shit would be incredibly good news. That was the Epstein/Bannon/OG alt-right pet project for years and their model for how they want to gain permanent power. If they flip every lever there and still lose, there's real hope.

even the most tenacious autocrats have a difficult time denying a landslide result against them

A fine stoneware piece I enjoyed at National Museum Cardiff earlier. Cŵn Gwyllt (Wild Dogs) by Catrin Howell, 2003... "Animals and the roles they play in mythology are a constant theme in my work. I am fascinated in the way they are used to convey narratives, both ancient and contemporary."

These birds must have been raised on the music of the Parliament Funkadelic...
