The R93 Refractor from Star Wars Outlaws: A Pirate's Fortune. I made in a way that you can rotate the wings from Recon mode to Assault mode.

Unbelievably bleak to see journalists quoting an LLM bot's output as if it's an agent capable of making statements that mean something.

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

Happy New Year to those who joined us in 2026 while I was asleep!
May this year be marked by the accountability of powerful and cruel people. Let it be the opposite of 2025.🤗

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results
that human element elevates the work

Who needs AI when we had stuff like this? I’ll take photoshop edits over the slop any day

In 2026 I wish that people would show a lot less tolerance for shitty people in this world.
Since I cannot possess your bodies and deal with it for you ... I will offer you this one trick shitty people don't want you to know.
Ask them, sincerely and heartfelt
'Are you okay?'

Of all the scenes I wrote, this one’s my favorite. It doesn’t feel like it came from me, but from Auntie Murkle who appeared to keep me company.
As the Dark grows, rest with Auntie Murkle for a spell.
