Japanese animation has immortalized the famous incident from a couple of weeks ago, when a Russian anti-aircraft machine-gun unit was conducting a drill 😄 #Russia
Adding grunge to my Daedalus class USS Jefferson #StarTrek bridge set. Final details at this point... #Blender #BlenderArt #B3D #Bforartists #3dart
@portalrealm.bsky.social idea for you: how about adding a section for labels and such to the archive? Stuff like these from Enterprise, for example, as well as the fabulous ones from the late movie era and TNG.
#blender is still rendering two more frames (I use timeline markers (M) with cameras attached to them (⌘B) to effectively render out a series of stills in one shot overnight), but since BlueSky only allows 4 images at a time anyway... 🖖 #startrek #bforartists #blenderart #3dart
Thanks to the Nielsen Pulse app's hijacking of accessibility features on Google TV, I discovered an #a11y bug @amazonprime.bsky.social's app: Screen reader says "Play" (or "start" or whatever it was), then "button, button" - y'all need Aria labels for those. 😂
If you want to run #Blender5.2 on an #Intel #Mac, you can now - I built the #Bforartists version the other day (which is based on #Blender 5.2 plus some bits coming in 5.3). You can download it here: www.bforartists.de/download/ - labeled experimental, but I rendered this #StarTrek set in it:
Google is apparently rolling this back? therwise I might have incurred a Secret Service visit by using it on Mar-a-Lago. 🤣 Not that I'd ever do any such thing other than as a bit of wiseassery, mind you. Point is, AI has the potential to really eff up lives with this kind of crap. 😡
New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...
Quite possibly the only rap or rap-adjacent song I genuinely like. Pay very close attention to the lyrics but the video is powerful too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpYe...

Since I already posted one horrible #meme, I may as well seal my fate with an even worse one. I Googled this first to see if anyone else had already done it and to my amazement came up empty-handed. LOL #startrek
You know what? I'm probably going to hell for this #Blender #3DArt joke, but I'mma do it anyway. 🤣 (yes, that's my current bridge set WIP, and yeah, that's an n-gon - don't judge me!)

Got a new iPhone the other day (my old one wouldn't charge right anymore) and noticed a bit of amusing #pareidolia when viewing the #TMobile paper store bag at an angle - that effect is especially pronounced at night with the lights off. 🤣
The moment a storage tank at the Moscow oil refinery was hit: the blast blew the tank's lid off.
Truck queues formed at Chongar pontoon crossing after bridge damage, Radio Svoboda reports. Most traffic heads toward occupied Kherson region with almost no movement toward Crimea.
Saldo reported that overnight, Ukrainian strike UAVs hit another bridge connecting Crimea to the land corridor - a crossing in the city of Armyansk. A bridge near the village of Stavky, located on the same logistical route, was also struck.
"In the March 1933 German federal election, the Nazi Party (NSDAP) received 43.91% of the popular vote." On their way there. The fact that these shaits are considered legitimate in politics is proof of systemic decay; the enemies are inside, burning the food and poisoning the water.
Merz: "Ukraine has been defending its freedom for more than 4 years." (AfD members laughing) Merz: "That’s telling sign, ladies and gentlemen. They laugh about it, they laugh about fate of millions of people in Ukraine and they travel to Moscow for their champagne receptions."
