Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

This image is a reproduction of the Bee-Faced Mushroom Shaman of Tassili-n-Ajjer, a prehistoric rock painting found in Algeria. It is believed to be between 7,000 and 10,000 years old. Some scholars interpret the figure as a shaman depicting the early ritual use of psychedelic mushrooms.

"They don't want to talk about the human condition, they want to get paid to paint dragons." I had a dream that I had a dragon companion and we flew around the towers of Milwaukee and that dream filled me with so much joy I had to paint it when I woke up. Theres some expression for you -Seth-

"We make the dragons as we make the gods, because we need them, because, somewhere deep in our hearts, we recognize that a world without them is a world not worth living in." – R. A. Salvatore

An illustration from several years ago; based on a dream I had where I rode a blue dragon with pink wings and we perched atop the North Point Water tower in Milwaukee.

Here's just one page of it. Do not be intimidated, just pick a starting point and go, you'll end up reading all of it and the order you read it in is the correct order. That's true of the whole box set but I mean just this page

I'm sorry, I can't alt text this. It is purely visual. But imagine a drawing of a building, labelled in that catalogue way where there are lines leading from parts of the building to info about that area, but the info isn't text, it's little clusters of comics, and they all link to one another, and by the time you've read the page you have a deep understanding of all sorts of things going on in the building and that have gone on or will go on leading away from or up to this moment. Every time you reach the point in one of these little tracks and routes and clusters where you realise something that it's saying to you, the dopamine hit is magic. Imagine working your way through a whole rattling box (like a board game's box) full of every different shaped or sized thing you could print comics on, from broadsheet newspapers to individual strips on card, to an unfolding board (like that of a board game - this page is one of the four printed on that), books of all sizes and alignments, pamphlets.... and all of it with this same bubbling of dopamine throughout... And it's all so funny and sad at the same time, GOD ITS GOOD, ITS SO GOOD

I did a thread on paleontologists contributing to eugenics & fascism. What about the opposite end of political spectrum?🧵 Ernst Untermann (1864–1956) palaeontologist by trade, painted murals for the Dinosaur National Monument. A prolific socialist, first in US to translate Das Kapital into English.

It’s really something how people get up in arms about accessibility and equity when the thing in question is pervert glasses or Dark Clippy. I don’t see you folks showing up when Ticketmaster says there’s no way a wheelchair user can come to concerts or that sign language is “too distracting”.
