The polar opposite reactions here to the deaths of Sam Neill and Lindsey Graham are such a reminder that we all have a choice whether to live our lives in a way that brings joy or misery to those around us. I think if you’re remembered fondly as Sam Neill is today, you’ve pretty much won at life.

I guess it's illegal to have a sweet ass now

If the actor with British accent is evil then you’re watching Sci fi. If the actor with a British accent is good then it’s Fantasy. If the actor with a British accent knocks something over then it’s a Rom com.

I guess young people either forgot or don’t actually know what the word “indie” is short for? An independent company means operating separately from larger corporations, not “providing content for free always”. Adult artists need money to live and create more art, imagine that

We’re so used to calling the various tech oligarchs and Trump pigs Bond villains but Eric Adams is unique in that he is the only irl Venture Bros villain.

easily one of the funniest guys america has had in decades

Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption: "The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II" It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.

I want to be an artist, but I don't want to learn how. I want to be a filmmaker, but I don't want to learn how. I want to be a musician, but I don't want to learn how. I want to be a writer, but I don't want to learn how. AI, for those who can't, don't, and won't.

Yes, the world is on fire, but there are still reason to find joy. I’ve experienced this wholesomeness a few times with meeting online buddies. 🥰 Connection is literally the key to happiness, more so than money. You don’t need a ton of friends, just a few good ones. #friendship #wholesome

That halftime show is what people mean when they say "joy is an act of resistance."

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

This bobtail squid burrowing into the sand is already adorable, but please watch till the very end! It sticks out its little arms and earnestly sprinkles sand over itself 🦑𓂃◌𓈒𓐍

@robsteinone.bsky.social you should watch this!

Blindspots for Millennials 😅 IMO: it’s pretty accurate.

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”

It’s that point in time before a big convention that I am 100% overthinking everything.

Unless one has the means that allow for certain possibilities, very often, the urgency of making a living robs the artist of the time required to make masterworks.

I already said I’m voting for him

Seems like very sound judgement to me.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

I’m quoted in today’s issue of Forbes.

The fact that everyone knows exactly what this song is about is wild. www.instagram.com/reel/DNoxUTx...

Finally got around to framing this lovely piece by @dianateeterart.bsky.social, from NY Comic Con a couple-few years ago. How sweet are these two NYC icons? I fell in love with this as soon as I saw it #art

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about: Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of “we actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”

To nobody's surprise, beating yourself up does not, in fact, cure burnout. Doesn't stop me from doing a surprised Pikachu face when I catch myself doing it tho

Block anyone who implies it’s crass to try to sell art bc of “Everything Going On.” Motherfuckers there is going to be a LOT going on FOREVER, and artists sell art AS THEIR JOB. Do you go to fuckin McDonalds and scream at the staff “HOW COULD YOU BE MAKING FRENCH FRIES AT A TIME LIKE THIS??” Grow up

There’s 10 days left to preorder/pledge for a little green bug plushie! And, we’re 80% funded! 🌿 www.kickstarter.com/projects/fos... Reshares are immensely appreciated so we can get this guy funded! We’re so close 💕💕

Was visited by baby aliens at the banding station today 👽👽👽 (American Woodcock)

Hello artist. Look at me. Hold my hands. I want you to succeed so badly. I am manifesting this for you.

Even though the Golden Ratio is mathematical beauty, doesn't mean your back needs to be shaped as such. Straighten up!

I know the law

eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same
