I make Resin Dice on occasion. I collect vinyl and love Karaoke. And I've been tryin to teach myself to draw this last year. It's real slow going, but zen, which I desperately need.

I'm a dad and I have a soft spot for small heroes that do big things.

I'm a sucker for the magic of Christmas.
Art by Oliver Barrett: Cover of Kill All Immortals #1 - High Fashion blonde viking woman sitting backwards on a chair with a bearded axe in her hand that's covered in Celtic knots and blood. Blood splattered across the room behind her and under her bare feet. Art by Lisa Heidhoff - Cover Variant for CANTO: A Place Like Home #1. A stained glass window mosaic with circular golden gears focused on CANTO, the little tin solder with a clockwork heart, a big red cape and hatchet in his hand raised in defiance. Art by Magali Villeneuve - Cover to comic book Stranger Things and Dungeons and Dragons crossover, featuring Eddie Munson in his Hellfire Club t-shirt with dramatic welcoming gesture. He's standing over a D&D game map with dice, a beholder miniature with it's 10 eye-stalks and a miniature of Eddie in his full metal band rocker outfit and electric guitar with a rock-n-roll hand gesture raised in defiance. Art by Valeria Favoccia - Comic Cover for Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories - The Bad Batch: Ghost Agents #1. The four wayward clones in a tight formation of action poses flying toward the reader and away from some explosion in the background.

🎯

Mamdani's rhetoric should be a case study for Democrats, the lesson being you can:

(a) talk about kitchen-table issues
(b) in widely accessible language, while
(c) holding to a consistent set of moral & political principles, and
(d) showing how 47 poses a threat to democracy & the rule of law
gregsargent.bsky.social Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · Oct 1
Mamdani’s innovation is showing how to emphasize cost-of-living *without* retreating from the defense of immigrants and *without* shirking the mission of centralizing Trump’s authoritarian lawlessness.

He attacks all forms of power, economic *and* authoritarian.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

So happy to show this absolute FUCKING BANGER of an art piece by @juliedillon.bsky.social connecting the back covers of Dungeons & Dragons: The Fallbacks series. This piece will be framed on my wall.

Learn more at the link:
tinyurl.com/4re6fmk3
Art by Julie Dillon depicting The Fallbacks, a modern D&D party of up and coming heroes painted as an homage to artist J.C. Leyendecker, with each character interacting with one another in often humorous ways as they are on their way to adventure. From Left to Right we have Anson Iro, the human fighter, with short dark hair, a broken golden sword and red armor; Cazrin the human Wizard with magenta robes, a green staff with a matching magenta crystal floating at the top and floating spell book. She's pointing out a spell to Anson in her book, sharing knowledge; Uggie, the barely domesticated Otyugh with green skin, three legs, three eyes on a tentacle like limb on its head, and an open mouth that eats anything and everything, its tongue lolling out the side of its mouth, trying desperately to get pets from Baldric; Baldric the dark-skinned dwarf, with a beautiful bushy beard, yellow gambeson on his torso, and plate armor over his arms, a mace with a yellow glow as he tries to fend off Uggie; Lark, the red-skinned Tiefling Bard, Lute in hand and white sleeveless cassock coat and white long-brimmed panama hat with a feather sticking out; all led by Tess the Elf Rogue, with her blue and gold cat mask perched above her brow and long blonde hair, blue cloak and gloves over a tunic and pants, and her trusty and sharp teleportation daggers at her hips.

What I want to know is, why didn't they tie that one more in with the rest of the canon? Talk about missed opportunities.

Holy shit. This guy saved a PNG to a bird.

(he drew a bird into a spectrogram, played that sound to a starling, and the starling reproduced it back to him with enough accuracy he got his bird drawing back in their call's spectrogram) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQC...
