Wrapping up a Brood Brothers painting commission that I've really enjoyed. Oil washes did a lot of heavy lifting on the skin and shading, and the grey on grey box colors turned out nicer than expected. A rare return to 40k for me. (1/?)

If only everyone could be this self reflective, as well as open and honest about being wrong.
Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

"Can you seriously not understand the concept of someone not being a misogynist but saying something misogynistic just to piss off someone they specifically know will be annoyed by it?"
That kind of logic is rotting the brain of so many hateful losers online.
Never seen it laid so bare before.

Following Eurovision’s decision to allow Israel’s participation, Spanish public broadcaster RTVE has withdrawn from the contest. The announcement split the screen between Israel’s performance and scenes of bombardment and starving children in Gaza. #Spain #eurovision #genocide

Israel hunted a 70 year old lady down with a gun drone and then hoovered above to make sure she bled out next to her dying son. They both join almost 1,000 Palestinians Israel has massacred or maimed in its genocide during the "ceasefire".

an example of starting to believe your own bullshit. does anyone think being a drug smuggler is a "fight"? It's a business. they're so deep into this "narco-terrorist" language they're thinking these are some kind of hardened cocaine ideologues. theyre all eager to join Mar a Lago.
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

"My workplace is one of the few rooms in the prison with air conditioning. It's there to keep the computers cool, but I feel the added benefit myself ... I fall into my work. When I get into a groove, it almost feels like I'm back in a college computer lab."
No prison job has ever stimulated me as much as Braille transcriber.
How I Learned to Transcribe Braille in Prison
Braille books, business cards and tactile maps are often crafted in prisons throughout the U.S. The job is more fun than most prison work.

Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him?
That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

Just...a rough day. But want to note, for the people who are adamant that any critique of the Dems makes it harder to defeat fascism, if you can't call out the fascism supporting actions in your own party, then how can anyone trust you to fight the fascists in power?

Graham Linehan is clearly a deeply unwell man who has given himself psychosis obsessing over trans folks, but the British media and political classes have no choice but to encourage and protect him because of what it says about them, as they fundamentally believe the same things about us as he does.

I've been saying for over a decade that @megueyb.bsky.social and @lumpley.bsky.social's work with Apocalypse World is arguably in the top four most influential works influencing what tabletop roleplaying games look like today. May this be the first of MANY honors given to AW in the mainstream!
When the ALA recognizes one's work, that's pretty dang cool.

one of the things that makes me most mad about genAI (and there are many) is we've been told there's not enough money for hiring. but there's billions poured into ai.
so not enough money to hire workers. but infinite money to pour into technology whose goal is never having to pay workers again.
