This is one of my favorite paintings and it currently doesnt exsist on the internet. Its in a private collection so you cant see it in a museum and its impossible to get a print of. Ive had it saved to my phone for years from the original French auction site listing that no longer exists.

We'll keep on pointing at this comic by @skutchdraws.bsky.social and @hbomberguy.bsky.social until it's embarrassing for tech bros to call you a luddite for hating AI! More of Failure to Launch in the link bsky.app/profile/iron...

"Curse you spinning jenny, you ruined everything!" A simpleton looking peasant yells as they smash the wooden machine.

The standard narrative goes that LUDDITES were foolish lunatics who, in fear of technology, decided progress was bad, and started hitting it with sticks. (But the truth is entire ways of life were being destroyed.)

Previously, skilled craftsmen were respected for the time and effort it took to do their work. The entire family usit would form a cottage industry - creating something valuable, and command a decent living. But when a machine can work 10 times faster its owner can charge less for the prodcts- craftsmen couldn't compete and were left out of work almost overnight.

And as factories became a fixture of the british landscape, these now unemployed labourers often ended up working the factories that had just destroyed their way of life. Britain was the most prosperous nation in history, factory owners became extremely wealthy and influential. But the people doing the actual work saw almost none of it.

Maybe It Will Happen Today @today-maybe.bsky.social · 2mo ago

A digitally drawn montage of scene's from Hayao Miyazaki's animated movie Porco Rosso. In the foreground wwe see Porco flying his Savoia S.21 seaplane. It's a bright red monoplane with a fuselage shaped like a porpoise and the wing mounted above and in front of the cockpit, and the single large, bulbous, shiny red prop engine mounted on top of that. Outrigger floats hang down from the underside of each wing and the vertical stabilizer is painted in the colors of the Italian flag. Porco is looking down toward the Adriatic sea below. From a string of clouds behind the plane rises a closeup portrait of Porco in the plane's cockpit. He's a human with a cartoon pig's head, he's got a little black curled mustache, and he's wearing round sunglasses, leather headgear with goggles pushed up on top of his head, a white silk scarf and a tan jumpsuit. He is smiling past the one side of his mustache and giving a thumbs up to the viewer. Under the plane in the bottom right of the rough-edged frame in yellow handwriting is written 'Maybe it will happen today'.

A digital illustration of Watto from Star Wars Episode I. He’s a weird blue and tan creature with a stumpy elephant trunk for a nose, pig-like tusks, a big round belly, otherwise spindly limbs, and two leathery wings. He wears a brown leather vest, some leather straps around his belly, and I regret to report, some kind of leather jockstrap/codpiece. He is reclining sensually leaning on one elbow, belly up and legs splayed out. His other hand is held out and he’s spinning his red and blue ‘chance cube’ (just a 6-sided die for making A-or-B choices) on the tip of one clawed finger. He’s giving you a very knowing and and intentional leer. A line of vaguely sci-fi type lettering across the top of the frame reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Star Trek Voyager scene. Seven of Nine (tertiary adjunct of unimatrix 01) is pictured. She has a dolphin shaped metal robotic implant around her left eye because she is a borgs. Closed caption reads, "Fun will now commence."

A digital painting of the droid K2SO from the show Andor. He has a humanoid design and just his head and shoulders are seen. His head is a largely blank cranium shaped dome with two smallish round white eyes with some panels and droid-ish details below that. He’s an all over drab greenish gray. Background details indicate he’s seated in the cockpit of a ship of some sort. To the left of his head is a floating block of text written in the Star Wars alphabet Aurebesh which reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’. Enjoy, nerds.

Five months in and still looking for work. Game writing would be great, but I've also got 30 years software QA management experience with waterfall and agile. So, if you need someone who can write with a strong tech background and can work with teams across multiple continents, I might be your guy.

today is my birthday!!! can i ask for some shares on my art? 🌈💗🐸🌻

A digital fantasy illustration of a smiling fey-like woman sitting next to a round display window with dark wood frames, full of books and a potted plant with round white flowers on shelves. There are two books with visible titles, "Old Gods in Yivezheng" and "The Great Earth Eater".
She has a warm green complexion with some moles on her face, big teal eyes looking at the camera and brown medium-lenght braids. Kelp-like horns grow from behind her head and between the horns there is a gold headdress shaped like a chrysanthemum. She wears big round gold earrings. The dress she is wearing is dark green with white rectangular collars and brown leather parts such as a corset and cuffs. There are gold buttons on her puff sleeves. She is holding a big nondescript open book with one hand and her other hand is close to her face.
The background is dark brown with different warm color tones. There are paper triangle flags hanging behind her but in front of the bookstore. End ID.

A colored digital illustration of a portrait-size feminine character with long wavy green hair and striking deep red eyes, looking at the camera while smiling softly. They have horns made up of hair, a gold earring with a ribcage, a choker and a white frilly top. They have one hand up, holding a stylized heart-shaped scissor with little horns portruding while their hand is dripping in blood. Behind the character's head, there's a big anatomical heart drawn in hatches and a textured gold circle in the background. Overall, the background is gray pink and colors used for details are intense red. End ID.

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.
