Kirby adverts in western games publications are the best way to look into how weirdly insecure men and boys were at the time. Tgey could not concieve of a world where: A. Boys want to play a cute looking game. B. Girls played any game, ever.

Yeah. Europe realised that US tech companies can no longer be trusted with their national infrastructure and data and that these needed to be held locally

look at those two hotties

Sometimes when I see stuff like this, I wish I could go back in time and show this without any context to a crowded room at a sci-fi convention in the late 80s/early 90s.

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

Most Orwellian war of my lifetime

My hot take on the Borg is the lower budget actually worked better for them than the movie reinvention that carried into Voyager. Everything being simpler and starker is more Borg, and more scary.

Happy #TowelDay

Came across a rocket ship I drew like a decade ago that I had forgotten about. 🚀

I'm glad people dig this ☺️ I love making these goofy things, especially when they sound totally different to whatever I'm making for work It's a real nice way to keep the brain juices fresh! 🧠🧃 (but also, someone should make a banger PS1 style racer and hire me to make banger PS1 style bangers)

Something I've never seen before. This girlie magazine from 1960 has a coloring book section?!

I like this site and I think people who have a really hard time here are kind of babies. Sometimes I get yelled at on here and some of those times people don’t have a point, but who cares? If anything, I should evangelize for this site more as the last place on the internet I still learn stuff.

"Unless we smash the state, we will never sup from the wine of freedom! Hail Eris! All hail Discordia!"

At 22 I had to phisically get between an older man and a child who liked Jar Jar. That was the point where I lost all sympathy for any one who felt agreeved at getting more Star Wars. Entitled worthless twits, just making their unadressed emotions everyone elses work to deal with.

1. London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers. After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

Well played, Ashbourne.

I think about this all the time.

Another photo of the stunning European Bee-eater from a few weeks ago. Here you can see it is totally focused on its next meal. They are like giant colourful flycatchers in their behaviour. #birds #birdsseenin2026 #birdoftheday #birdphotography #birding

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

We should make it illegal for MPs to use public toilets and changing rooms, and if you see someone you think might be an MP using one you can confront them, and they have to carry their Westminster pass and show it to you, and then you can kick them out. But, like, in a respectful supportive way.

FUN FACT: I NEVER miss a movie that has "GROGU" in the title. #MustSee 👀

another quiet night in gotham. they fixed the bank. theres no way its going to happen again

OpenAI Announces Construction Of New Data Center On Top Of Sick Child

Story isn't the Worlds you create. It's about how the characters you create move through these Worlds. All the Worldbuilding stuff you come up with is only interesting in so much as it impacts the paths of your cast.

You know, I’m taking a day off from the word; I’ll be at my desk drawing if you want me. (And you can read my Eisner nominated webcomic Terran Omega: The Ghosts of War at www.pauljholden.com )

The Empire Strikes Back was released 46 years ago today. Still my favorite Star Wars, still my favorite ending.

‘Masters of the Universe’ drone show spotted over Los Angeles 💥 • Had 1600 drones • Guinness World Record for brightest drone show ever (via Amazon MGM)

Every time we hear about how genAI has pushed another teenager to suicide, another person into committing a mass shooting, or generated CSAM of school girls used to blackmail their schools, remember we were told that what we'd be hearing about is a cure to every cancer, and global poverty itself

I think we can say now that we’ve investigated “how far can we push the destructive cruelty, before reactionaries are satisfied” as deeply as we need to, to conclude the answer is “they will never be satisfied, they will always want more”.

Pick a Bond villain from the photos you already have on your phone.

After this Thursday’s show, the Ed Sullivan Theater will go dark, and we’ll lose one of the nation’s funniest and most courageous, truthful, and gentlemanly critics of Trump and his regime. Farewell, and thank you, Stephen. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/farewell-and-thank-you-stephen-colbert

See, but here's the thing: No one is suggesting that we change the race of actual historical figures. But when we are talking about fantasy worlds with wizards and dragons and stuff, it doesn't seem like a big deal...unless you're a flaming racist.

The Dáil will this evening debate a motion by Sinn Féin seeking to introduce emergency bans on both rent increases and no-fault evictions. It follows the release of RTB data showing eviction notices in the first three months of this year were up 51% on the previous year jrnl.ie/7044546

If you've followed me for a while, you know I love Star Trek. I love the better future it represents. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations is tattooed on me...in multiple places, including in Vulcan. And one of my favorite movies is Star Trek Generations. Yes, it gets a bad rap sometimes.

"No bad dogs," my ASS.

My artwork for the next edition of my “Universe” ‘zine. (IYKYK!) I would really appreciate it if you shared it.

I do some tweaking and testing with LLMs in my own servers and here's a fun tidbit from my research: I've given lists of articles to LLMs to just run a web search and then give me a formatted bibliography. EVERY SINGLE TIME they hallucinate doi links, publication dates, and authors

@diane.dianeduane.com HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Thank you for all the joy you bring to the world.
