Just remember: AI hates tangelos. They mess with its equilibrium

I see a lot of art come across my timeline but this is the artist that has just absolutely nailed what I am going for in my own art. This is the style I am pursuing. This is what I want my work to look like. I see a lot of really good art but this is what I want my art to BE.

ICE was founded in 2003.

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

I don't think most Americans have any idea how dangerous it is for a president to declare an entire ethnic group to be "garbage." This is how the worst atrocities in human history have begun.

ICE is having so much difficulty filling open positions that the agency may soon begin hiring documented workers.

Better if you don't. Be cooler if you did

in 2026 we are NOT hustling, we are NOT grinding, we are doing just enough Job to have money for Video Game

Imagine running a capital-intensive firm when the White House can suddenly threaten to shut your industry down. Wind farms today, something else tomorrow. That risk changes what gets built, where, and whether it gets built at all.

Remember, part of this prediction is that in ten years, almost nobody will be able to afford college in the first place and they'll just refuse to graduate anyone they think is not straight and white and male enough. Oh, you can GO if you have the money, but you won't GRADUATE

LOL we have tried this before, over thirty years ago, and Jeff is about to learn something really really awful about "continual learning" in a system with perfect memory. FORGETTING and IGNORING are crucial to proper learning. Nobody listened to me then and they won't now, but sure FAFO some more

Here’s to 2026

My big complaint about Avatar is that it's insufficiently horny, James Cameron is trying to tell me there's a planet full of huge blue cat-people who walk around mostly naked all the time and are NOT just constantly fucking

This is it. Really. Over a hundred years ago, Lord Dunsany wrote this about the industrial revolution, and this is what it feels like living in the age of the garbage-farting computer machine. It can make your music, it can make your art, it can write your poems and books and movies. And they suck.

I want to deal with the question of time savings, here. I want to consider how things work with AI coding and how things work with classic, historical coding methods. 🧵

The purpose of Avatar isn't to impact culture, it's to be pretty, and that's fine.

A quick google informs me that after this surge, Australia provides about 4% of our beef imports, and our beef imports are about 25% of our consumption. So this headline is basically saying “anger as 0.6% becomes 1% of total” and I’m not sure that’s particularly justifiable

Last night I showed Jackie the ’80 FLASH GORDON for the first time. Her thoughts: -Zarkov rules -she loves all the weird little freaks everywhere -General Kala is best girl -“Booo I wanted to see someone get impaled on the spikes” ➡️ “YESSSS” Epilogue: She keeps doing the song under her breath

STEM without the humanities and arts is how you end up with with all these tech bro idiots, and worse.

The only thing ChatGPT ever does.

Happy 14th anniversary to this youtube video

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more

I find it really sad that a lot of people don't care about the night sky

I don't get people who super curate their pages to not rt or promote other artists due to "clutter" - there's nothing more real to me as an artist than to have my creative works shown alongside other even more beautiful ones! I think it just highlights how wonderfully individualistic we are!!

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

This wonderful @michaelschulman.bsky.social piece about puzzles & Sondheim is stuffed with funny, sticky details: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Sinatra kind of a great illustration that you can be the kind of 1950s asshole these guys all idolize and just not be a frothing racist

illustration but I think in creative fields generally a lot of 'success' is just hanging in there as long as you can and it is natural that you'll make friends with people who have similar points of view on the industry and share your same irrational 'not giving up' mental illness

i was specifically told the opposite of this

This arrived in Facebook chat from someone I didn't know and they blocked me immediately afterward. I still do not know what they were angry about.

this is a very funny comparison because Marvel’s approach is lore maximalist and Sanrio’s is “here are the five facts about Hello Kitty you are allowed to discuss. if you deviate from our brief we will shoot you in the kneecaps”

World: (horrible event caused by human corruption and greed) Random jackass: This is clearly caused by the highly specific thing I have been complaining about for years, human corruption and greed have nothing to do with it

if i could give advice to new bsky artists it'd be this: get involved with similar artists. be part of the "scene". find artists that you love & tell them so even if they aren't always a fan of your work. get involved with artshares & don't just post and go, actually meeting your peers is vital.

Not arguing with anything in this post and also now I feel compelled to write a novel entitled "The Nipples of Grimdark"

Me remembering people from other social media: I miss my old friend, I wonder how he's doing (peeks in on the friend's activity elsewhere) Oh. Oh, so... so FULL Nazi, then. Like, all the way. Good to know

I feel like I spent 2025 existing online as a genAI hater, and make no mistake I absolutely am, but I also just want to make clear my revulsion to genAI isn't out of personal self-interest or survival. they're garnishes in the incentives of my life. I care because it's existential.

more confirmation that lurking clearly behind this idea of the “heritage american” is a straightforward contempt for the actual history and tradition of this country, such that vermeule has to hallucinate a framework to justify his desire to jettison the clear meaning of the 14th amendment

One of the most brilliant movies I have ever seen was called Suture, from the early '90s, and they cast a pair of identical twins nobody can tell apart with a skinny white dude and a big muscular black dude. They never explain or excuse this. You are just supposed to shut the fuck up and deal.

Someone asked me how do you get a job in comedy, and it’s exactly the same as this. You have to, ten or twenty years ago, have been hanging out with other unknowns while hoping to work in comedy. Then you wait, and wait, and some of you succeed, to different degrees, and you still work together.

All Americans Should Be Outraged By This….

But you do, in fact, need something unique about you or nobody will give a shit what you write. They are asking why they should read your work. No reason? Oh. Okay. We won't read it, then. There are more INTERESTING stories to read than we have time for, we will skip your uninteresting one

Welcome back artists! 🖌️🎨✨ Quote Post with an old piece that you still like!

Flashback post and yep, still our favorite.

vance is a genuine lunatic

Improving as an artist involves two simultaneous forms of development: increasing your skill so you can PRODUCE better results, and moderating your ambition so you IMAGINE results that are within your skills. Art is fundamentally about TRYING to make things that you CAN make.

there are many horrible brainworms you can catch online but none of them are as all-encompassing in their destruction of you as a human being as transphobia start down that road and you become incapable of normal human interaction

attention new bluesky users: pick up that can
