This commission truly kicked my ass but really happy with how it turned out! The Archtraitor for @jarl-deathwolf.bsky.social!
Illustrated some stuff for my ttrpg book in the works.
Make a personal website. It can be really simple! Do it for free at neocities.org! But have one of your very own that no one else controls. And start a newsletter. Make sure the service allows you to export and move your subscribers. Okay, now you have some independence and options.
Lincoln Michel@thelincoln.bsky.social · 2y agoRegardless of the issues w/ the TikTok ban, these kind of takes are strange to me. Do people not realize these apps are constantly dying (Friendster, Orkut) or withering away (Tumblr, MySpace) or "pivoting" in ways that crash industries (Facebook, Twitter)? You cannot ever trust them.
Ironically, I think the fatal flaw in the Antigonid system is simply, "Macedonia is adjacent to Greece." Not even the Romans really pull meaningful military resources or manpower out of Greece. The Antigonids are forced by geography to pour resources into a region that is always a net-cost.

i will also die angry at the genAI crowd for deliberately causing the general public to conflate the ocean-boiling plagiarism machine with USEFUL forms of machine learning, like that wildfire early-detection system they're using around Kelowna now
🏳️⚧️ Alexandra Merideth Erin [she/her]@alexandraerin.com · 2y ago"You sneer at data-scraping our posts, but machine learning is why we can take cameras the size of a fingernail." Yes, those are two things that are true. Two tangentially unrelated things, sharing no causal connection. There is no big tech innovation lurking behind plagiarism remixers.

My review of Gladiator II (2024) is now up at @foreignpolicy.com ! I confess I didn't much like the film. As history, its nonsense, but we knew it would be. But its also weak as a movie, reenacting its better predecessor rather than telling a new story. foreignpolicy.com/2024/11/26/g...
‘Gladiator II’ Is an Empty Prayer at the Altar of the Franchise
My compliments to the special effects team. Everyone else, see me after class.

Ok, this is legitimately such a succinct and to the point description of what I think the core weakness of the Ptolemaic and Seleucid kingdoms was that I'm a bit embarrassed not to have come up with someone so sharply to the point.
Das Doak@dasdoak.bsky.social · 2y ago"I'm going to create a landed elite with special privileges that could in no way ever be applied to everyone, or even a particularly large slice of the population. I am sure this isn't going to blow up in my face."
