Godzilla vs Biollante (1989)

The narrative that eighteenth-century soldiers were slow moving, ineffective automata who were only capable of engaging the enemy at insanely close range and quickly moved into hand-to-hand combat is one of the most widespread and damaging myths in military history. 1/6

Gustav Kampmann (1859-1917) Evening in the Woods c.1892-1903

Hugo Henneberg, (1863-1918) The Blue Lagoon, linocut, 1904

it is apparently the 25th anniversary of the greatest piece of art Denton, Texas, has ever produced

RIP Robert Tinney (November 22, 1947 – February 1, 2026), the artist famous for his playful covers for Byte magazine, a hobbist magazine that ushered in the microcomputing age from the mid-70s through the 90s. I'm honored to have included his work in my own art collection.

Day three of having the Canadian Railroad Trilogy stuck in my head. Can confirm that the green dark forest is too silent to be real.

Geniuses of the radio: if you have a pro wrestler on your show to interview, maybe don’t ask if it’s fake immediately? Do you ask a magician about how the tricks work right away? Second question? Fuckin a man, play along!

For the last year, I've been writing a lot, and it has morphed into an animation project. I've spent the last couple of months drawing this fat black blob dude. There's nothing on this YouTube channel yet, but hit subscribe to see whatever the hell I end up posting: www.youtube.com/@dstrtns

Took the King’s Shilling this morning. Looks like if everything goes to plan I’ll be spending some time in 1777 with the South Wales Borderers.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

What does Jack Rakove expect of the 250th? “’I think it is going to be a complete disaster,’ I replied, and offered a few reasons to support that view. The most important one…was that the constitutional system is lurching toward collapse and outright failure.”

Dump these chumps!! Meta is slime. You don’t need them, they need you.

The Utah Historical Society just produced a new, excellent map of "The Peoples of North America in 1776." Great resource for anyone teaching, writing, presenting about Native peoples as part of their 250th work. america250.utah.gov/power-of-pla...

I’ve been digging Hopper lately in a new way and it turns out my girlfriend had a big print of this one in the basement. Fun to have it up!

'Haunt of the Heron.' Archibald Webb began experimenting with woodblock printing in 1921 - most of his works are strongly identified with aspects of daily life around the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia.

I've been trying to get my version of the Bechdel Test to catch on called the Ballard Metric. It basically asks if the creator was able to work for free or for slave wages due to an invisible financial safety net and recontextualizes the work. (I'm kinda joking idk)

Oh, this will go well.

I was struck by this pre 1977 self portrait from leguins NW Pdx house, featuring her view of an intact Mt St Helens, mostly since the volcano was talking to me on Sauvie Island yesterday about how you can fucking blow your top and still command r e s p e c t

Creative work in the United States is no longer sustainable. Unlike other countries, there’s really no public funding. So, most folks that can afford to be artists nowadays already have wealth. Obviously that’ll skew their pov & subject matter. Thanks for tipping & keeping me (a poor) in the game 🙏

My old flat is in the documentary I’m watching! Top left. Fun!
