Dutch, He/Him. Nickname predates the 2 culture wars which people could read into it (by decades), I just refuse to change it because they are the ones who suck. I can be a bit verbose.

I'm fascinated by this new form of PR that's emerged with LLM companies where they leak stories like 'our product spontaneously assembled an army of domestic appliances & announced it would exterminate the lowly hairless apes - we barely managed to pull the plug' to imply it's really powerful
Nu het land gortdroog is, weer denken aan dit stuk van de Volkskrant dat wederom de boeren het echt zelf veroorzaakt hebben dat ze geen water hebben www.volkskrant.nl/kijkverder/v...
Hoe de sloten in Nederland verdwijnen
Jaarlijks verdwijnen duizenden sloten in Nederland, blijkt uit onderzoek van de Volkskrant, en dat gebeurt deels illegaal. Regels om de waterkwaliteit te verbeteren, geven boeren juist een prikkel om ...

Glad you like the new Ork piece. I wanted to recapture the feel of my older Ghazghkull artwork but made with a more painterly style.

It's feral hogs day. Here's (not quite 30-50 of) our God Pig(s).
Pleased to announce I now have art of this good boy from Zettamall courtesy of @boaillustration.bsky.social. Look at him go
here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?
Hand painted Goldspan Dragon, based on an illustration of Smaug by Tolkien, himself.
I never wanted to be a "in my day things were better" old lady... but I need to categorically state that technology actually WAS better. You are currently in the peak of designed obsolence, enshittification, personal intrusion and forced acceptance by lack of choice. Sure, the underlying tech...
‘Het is De Hond dus neem het met een korrel zout, maar…’ als disclaimer lost het niet op, je verspreidt zijn peiling nog steeds verder en laat zien: ik neem deze man serieus genoeg om zijn peiling te zien als nieuws.
Vera Moreijn@veramoreijn.bsky.social · 3d agoMisschien kunnen we met zijn allen niet iedere keer elke De Hond peiling brengen als nieuws? Hij peilt PVV-JA21-FvD MINSTENS 6 zetels hoger dan elke andere peiler van naam, hij had een paar jaar terug ook PVV alleen op 52, en we weten allemaal dat iedereen zich kan aanmelden voor zijn peiling.
It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough
Just remembered the time my friend Danny Sutcliffe (no relation) shared a photo where he’d written “spoiler, he dies in the end” in a Gideon’s Bible in a hotel and some guy angrily replied “would you do that in a Quran?” And Danny said “I’ve not read it, pal, does he die in end of that too?”
Alingard knight. Fought with this one a bit but I think I’m happy with how it turned out ⚔️
The engine of a most delightful thread!
Dr. Abigail Desmond@abigaildesmond.bsky.social · 4d ago15,000 years ago, in one of the the earliest settled communities in the world, a child collected fine clay from the slow-moving river by her home. She then committed an act familiar to all inveterate play-doh enthusiasts; rolling and and pinching the squishy clay into tiny round balls.

Another study on youth transition that find that about 97% of all youth who says they're trans turn out to be. Only 1.1% who start HRT stopped it for any reason whatsoever. This is, like, the fifth youth transition study that I'm aware of, and all of their results have been identical.
Xtra @xtramagazine.com · 4d agoCanadian researchers found that 97 percent of youth who seek treatment for gender dysphoria still identify as trans years later.
Als jullie op sociale media een foto van Jetten tegenkomen waarbij hij ogenschijnlijk een Hitlergroet maakt, dan is dat een AI-plaatje gemaakt door Jan Dijkgraaf. Ik zie het nu toch wel rondgaan helaas.
So twitch is now faking chats in emails going 'you missed this'? Wtf
Today I learned that baby cranes are called "colts" because their legs are so long and they can run around like idiots shortly after hatching. This is delightful, I enjoy knowing this.
Just to be clear on this article, the position I took isn't "developers need to be more brave" but "funding needs to be more brave". Developers make all the cool stuff, just because they want to - the funding side hits it with market research and fear and growth targets and shareholders.

She took photos of each step to document the process, and the gig took five minutes, she said. DoorDash paid her about $5.”
The NYC Gay Men's Chorus in 1993. The men in white were the only original chorus members to make it out of the AIDS crisis. We lost SO many young people.
ɪᴍᴍᴀɴᴜᴇʟ ᴋᴜɴᴛ@soberthots.blacksky.app · 5d agoHearing Jennifer Lewis talk about the losses she experienced during the AIDS crisis really contextualizes how bad it was. She said that every day she would get a phone call saying at least 3-5 people passed away, and this is just within her immediate circle - think about it nationally.
