JCVD didn't perform the perfect splits while balancing on two moving trucks driven with exact precision by professional drivers just so you could tell me that "AI is inevitable".

Jim Henson didn’t muppeteer a tiny green frog that was singing and playing the banjo, with rubber gloves while totally submerged underwater in a airtight aluminum tank just so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”.

Bandit Burt Reynolds Driving

Alt: Burt Reynolds as The Bandit from the film Smokey and the Bandit. He is sat in a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am Firebird. He starts by looking away, then turns his head towards the viewer but is looking down, then he looks up directly at the viewer, smiles a wide, friendly, knowing smile and then drives off.

ilm you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli. I feel like if marvel is excluded, dc should be too but.

Look at this weird fuckin' rock on Mars that was photographed yesterday

The son of the man shot and killed by ICE: I am Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He should've been picking up the last of his guys before heading to finish up construction. Unbeknownst to all of us, my dad had been shot inside his van by ICE agents in unmarked cars.

A good day to remind you all that you can spend £5.50 on a 28mm @countbinface.bsky.social model from Troublemaker Games, £3 of which goes to NHS supporting charities Now who is selling some frog faced fiends and a scale model pier for them to fight over? www.troublemakergames.co.uk/product-page...

The kind of investor types we are talking about know only greed and corruption. They do not care who they hurt in their pursuit of money, they don't care what happens next as long as they still end their day on a yacht. They will burn our entire world down for their greed without blinking

The war story I’m doing has 12 pages of inks to go. After that I’ve some chimpsky and then… that’s it! If you’re in the market for a comic artist for a project (work for hire/paid only I’m afraid) I might be available!

While waiting at Dunfermline City station, a Scotrail Tannoy announcement played. It was about putting brakes on wheelchairs & prams. I'm pretty sure there was someone coughing in the background of the recording as the man carefully read his script. Which was instantly endearing. And very human.

This is a lot easier to do on desktop, but if you're on mobile, paste the link into your notes app and delete the tracking nonsense from there. (sometimes when you paste it into a convo with someone it will generate a preview linking to the url w the tracking info before you have time to edit)

this is actually a good reminder that you should delete the tracking nonsense off of any url that you share online. just delete everything after the ? (including the question mark) and share like you usually would

Haven’t really posted much of my Star Wars Jedi: Survivor fan-comic here! I’ve just finished chapter 5, 50 whole pages done so far! I’m planning to print as multiple issues. Whole thing can be read here: archiveofourown.org/works/629173... #starwars #jedisurvivor #calkestis #Obi-WanKenobi

A while back, I worked at a comic book store five days a week, so I had access to a lot of old Marvel and DC comics. I made these brushes from scanning the comics directly. My brush set has all 64 colors which were possible to print on newspaper at the time. ko-fi.com/s/0bf878660e

I've just found out this heatwave killed a very very good friend of mine last night, so do forgive me if I have absolutely no patience at all for "lol it's not even that hot" takes on here.

It's interesting to contrast with the original vision for the computer. The LLM doesn't aim to be a "bicycle for the mind" (Jobs) nor extend senses and reach (MCLuhan) but displace cognition. Instead of a machine that does what you tell it, it's a machine that tells.

Hello! I am working on a full length novel, and soon I will be releasing the short story it is based on. It’s dystopian fiction, a little surreal, and maybe a little too close to reality for those who have worked mind-numbing desk jobs and fought the urge to run into the forest and never come back.

it is really important to be loud about this stuff because it's typically kept very quiet to enable people to go "See? Nothing happened, it was just people being dramatic"

oh yeah, in terms of good news- I haven't seen anyone talking about this??? In short- worst case scenario of 4C warming by 2100 is no longer possible, new worst-case is 2.8C now DOES NOT MEAN we just relax- the only way we got here is through hard work- but it means THE HARD WORK IS WORKING

Collecting comic books is great. But reading them is even better. And sharing them. Talking about them with the people you care about. Lending them to your friends in person. We mustn't lose that.
