It’s incredible how much what I’ll call the “LinkedIn discourse” is just businesses convincing other businesses how to make their employees less resistant to adopting AI.

It took me a few months last year, but I managed to make this model of the Olympic-class U.S.S. Pasteur from TNG's "All Good Things..." that I haven't shared online until now. I'm a sucker for sphere-shaped and/or non-hero Trek ships, what can I say? 🤷‍♀️ 🪩 #startrek #tng #3d #blender

There is exactly one thing that needs to happen on Independence Day. One tradition The only thing that absolutely had to happen was fireworks, and Trump fucked it up because he couldn't stop talking

She is very lonely

This is absurd. If Superhive goes through with this, I'll simply never purchase from them again. There's not a single thing they could offer that would make me buy into a model like this.

Superhive, the main marketplace for Blender addons has a new policy Purchased addons will no longer have lifetime updates - you get a max of a year from purchase before you have to repurchase. Blender breaks its interface all the time - for fixes you will have to rebuy all your addons every year

WBAL in Baltimore helping viewers understand the difference between watches and warnings

CW: transphobia. See, this is why it can be painful to know too much history.🫤 This post implies that what is happening in Kansas is *similar* to what the nazis did. But it's not just similar. It's *identical*. In 1933, nazis revoked trans people's documents. Before 1938. Paragraph 175 and 183.

In 1938, the German Reich invalidated all German Jewish passports. They must surrender them, after which their ID will mark them as a Jew. In 2026, the state of Kansas invalidated all correct trans drivers licenses. They must surrender them, after which their ID will mark them as trans.

Twice now (that I know of), a major artist has chosen to bring their work to #Baltimore rather than entertaining the censorious Trump regime in Washington DC, and I am LOVING it. First Amy Sherald, now Philip Glass. I hope this becomes a trend. Baltimore is a beautiful home for the arts!

After Kennedy Center exit, Philip Glass to bring new symphony home to Baltimore

Famed composer and Baltimore native Philip Glass pulled his symphony from the Kennedy Center in protest of Donald Trump. Now, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra will perform “Lincoln” in 2027.

Got a new book about airships, so naturally I’m back on my bullshit. Excellent title, no notes 👌

Trying my hand at doing new Trek style lighting and compositing. Made the hull materials much more metallic than I normally do and much more modern/vivid color palette. Rendered in Blender Cyles Composited in After Effects with Red Giant #startrek #blender3d #scifi #3dmodeling #adobe #aftereffects

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Alrighty - my final update on this shot for now! Tons of revisions and fixes, as well as new Music SFX and VO. Added the welders welding, a few more work bees, the Arges in the background, and some changes to the lighting angle. 4K in the 🧵! I hope everyone likes it!

Like so… Keep in mind this is a quick and rough edit, but I would absolutely believe that this was the original song for the opening.

Starfleet Academy Hot Take: This would make a better theme song for the series…

The thing I'm most excited to find out from Starfleet Academy is which damn uniform is *the* uniform... I've seen like eighty of them in all the promo photos and trailers.

Scott Adams really paved the way to the deep end so people like JK Rowling could go off of it.

LinkedIn these days is just a constant feed of professionals posting rationalizations for why having an LLM do their (or worse, someone else’s) job for them is actually a very very good thing and totally isn’t just them taking shortcuts and cutting corners.

Why are these weirdos always so obsessed with protein and supplements? God they’re bizarre.

Happy New Year! Now everyone can finally start using their 2026 #StarTrek Ships of the Line calendars! 😉

Looking back on 2025, I got a lot of cool 3D modeling done, but a significant portion of it was in service of a final piece that will likely still not be published for at least several months. But I did manage to eke out an Aerodex plane and an original starship design, so there's that!

So as I'm healing, I'm getting the creative spark back - here's a shot from after the battle, with some wonderful EVA suits by Robert Rose! This is totally WIP, low-sample, and missing SFX. I'm gonna add workbees and repaired panels!

Only two of the 83 crewmen aboard USS Macon (ZRS-5) when the aircraft carrier airship crashed in a storm off Big Sur California in 1935, and the USN's intention to use ships like the Macon for long range scouts died with it. Given its explicit role to warn of potential Japanese surprise attack...

Spent a little time today refining my TAS shaders. I'm pretty happy with how things are looking right now! Used some compositor nodes as well to add some post-processing. These are all 'in-camera' renders straight out of #Blender3D

He said "Amen" straight into the drop Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

Well, it's taken a little over a week of grinding away at this shot, but I finally got it done! Modeled and Rendered in Blender by me Composited in After Effects with Red Giant Suite Edited in Premier. #blender3d #startrek #scifi #3dmodeling #animation #spaceship #vfx #scifi

Microsoft seems to be playing chicken with their users with this Windows 10 -> 11 crap. Who's gonna blink first? Anyway, with a little help, I switched my main PC to Linux Ubuntu last night. It was way easier than I thought! Bye Microsoft! 👋

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric
