Got Other Worlds: The Art of Alex Ries in the post today, and not only is this a very heavy and stiff blunt weapon with which to KO a burglar in self-defence if needs be, AND an exercise weight, but it turns out it's also a pretty lit sci-fi book detailing speculative evolution on other planets.
Pic of the cover of the chongus absolute unit of a book. A giant stone grey fairy angel alien with a light for a face and a light in the chest like Princess Peach's broach is sat cross-legged in peach and grey clouds looking down at two beings on a peach and grey beach. The beings have the centaur body plan and pointy Jar Jar Binks-coded but without the ears(?) faces. Though you can't see the front of their faces here but I know how they look from promotional materials and from the back of the book.

The book is about 40cm × 40cm and 5cm deep and very heavy - must be pretty fancy paper!

Female friends can do it, they dont seem to be as creepy at cons.

"A lot of the creeps were at insane and maybe permanent low-points in their lives and there was nothing I could say which would make their lives more miserable." One of the bleakest possible observations of an online subculture I've read in a long time that also rings true. Empathetic but horrible.

Former ‘South Park’ writer Toby Morton has created a website to expose information about Cornell University’s administration in response to the group sexual assault case: “Accountability should not disappear when the headlines do. And we all know this headline will disappear.”

Tech is at the ‘its ok that you will be deskilled by our product’ and ‘evil is good actually because its productive’ phase. No hero OR villain I can remember in fiction ever openly promised to make you less mentally capable as part of their pitch.

Megalodon is still alive clickbait is ahistorical both biologicaly but also sociologically. Because if Megalodon still existed, the whaling industry would have killed them all to protect whale carcasses for flensing, and the rest of them would have been hunted to extinction for shark liver oil.

I honestly dont think running a dinosaur park would be that difficult or dangerous. We keep hippos, tigers and elephants routinely.

The ruling class are a natural emergent force in this society, who do you think outside of humanity foisted it on us? Im not saying its good, cancer is natural. But poisonous power structures arent from some outside force.

Hey comics artists: a new all-timer character design just dropped.

Oh they have TONS of episodes on them, you would really enjoy them. They talk about how futurism and fascism can link up and how the way these techbros went kind of just fits an existing mold.

Today's art is Blue Haze by Penleigh Boyd, 1919, AUS. Take a moment to follow the outlines and the fine texture in this watercolor piece and to breathe in the mountain air
a hazey morning scene with a pastel colored mountain covered in trees. the lights are pastel yellow and shadows pastel blue, with gentle browns and reds all over.

We have a system that tackles inflation by suppressing the household income of workers while protecting housing wealth & corporate profits. Until the concentration of wealth in the country is confronted, working people will keep paying the price.

I always encourage people to, when they're making "best of" lists, include animated stuff in them. The point is to put animation right next to live action to normalize it. Equate them and don't section it off into its own separate list. Let them exist right next to each other.

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

If you are so extraordinarily stupid that you fall for a standard Republican trans panic ruse, I cannot trust you to represent me in office. This is like media literacy 101. Your colleagues are going to run circles around you. Dupe you into anything. I'd be safer running and representing myself.
