A small pond surrounded by rocks and various bushes. A painting in an exaggerated aerial view of a curly haired brunette woman standing, staring up, wide eyed and open mouth. There are lambchop, fish, and lime cat toys on the floor around her. An old woman in a purple gown, a leather breastplate, and chainmail kneels in a plain room while clutching a great axe across her lap. Her head appears to have been attached to body of a busty younger woman. The bottom of her dress is blood stained. It is Lady Godwin from the The Adventure Zone vs Dracula podcast. Based on Joan of Arc (1865) John Everett Millais. Two TTRPG tokens of an auburn haired woman wearing leather armor over an insulated coat. One of the tokens she is beaten and bloody with leaves in her hair. The second token she is healthy and looks content.

3d render of a jirachi. scattered amongst it in the background are macarons, plates, and in the front, a teapot magically pouring a glittery, tea into a teacup. the tea has glowing stars surrounding it, while jirachi looks with curiousity.

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

i've been watching the coyote on Alcatraz's progress with great interest. a week-ish ago, a coyote SWAM to Alcatraz for the first time and looked fuckin rough after the dangerous swim. but the coyote is doing fine now, gorging itself on unprepared birds & rats who are dealing with a sort of Godzilla

To add to this, almost all of the U.S.’s problems are linked to its hatred of Black people and that it hates Black people more than it loves anyone else. Our laws and policies are largely based on making sure Black people (and sometimes other groups) don’t benefit even at the expense of others.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:

America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.

What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵
Screenshot of a data visualization titled “The Cost of American Exceptionalism,” subtitled “What would change if the U.S. matched the OECD average?” The page explains that each card shows how outcomes would change if the U.S. matched the average of 31 peer democracies. Below, a section labeled “Economy & Inequality” displays eight cards comparing U.S. figures to OECD averages. Highlights include: +$19K per household per year in redistributed income and +$96K in redistributed wealth if the top 1% matched OECD shares; a 71% lower CEO-to-worker pay ratio (from 354× to 101×); 50 million more workers with union coverage; 26 million more people with health insurance; $2.1 trillion saved annually in healthcare spending; $691 less per person per year in prescription drug costs; and intergenerational economic mobility being twice as high. Each card shows the U.S. value alongside the OECD average.

Black lines on a gray background of an open, round flip phone with a straw for an antenna. It has a message notification on the phone screen.

The handmade, human qualities of your work are more valuable than they've ever been. Don't doubt that for a second.

hayden x monroe 🎶

quick sketch for an anon who asked about monroe's singing!

#art ✧ #fieldsofmistria ✧ #oc
Digital art of OP's character, Monroe and Hayden from Fields of Mistria. The first panel depicts Monroe sitting on the ground, leaning up against a haybale. He's holding a blue lamb in his arms and singing with his eyes closed. The lyrics are: "may you sail fair to the far fields of fortune, with diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet, and may you need never to banish misfortune..." the second panel depicts Hayden, leaning against an implied wall. He has a flushed expression, and is holding his hand up to his face. A text box next to him reads: "just came to drop off feed" and the lyrics finish: "may you find kindness in all that you meet".

Anime Sickos podcast is my favorite time capsule. I love listening to an older episode, learning about some controversy surrounding an artist I’ve been following for years but somehow missed, and then 30 seconds later they talk about someone else who has yet to have their big allegations revealed.

A blob person looking gormless as they T-pose. Behind them are distorted afterimages of them, each slightly more elongated than the last, as well as a rush of pink energy.
