Remember, I'm running a special: a full company of 'Mechs — 12 machines! — for $400, painted to the Intermediate quality. That's normally $600 + cost of the miniatures. Rent is due tomorrow, so I really need to get some work. (And don't forget that I have Rogue Trader dreadnoughts for $150 all-in!)

it’s super cool and fun that the university of chicago police department—one of the nation’s largest private police forces—has a network of alprs in a pocket of the south side that it runs without any outside oversight or transparency

Top tv shows but make it about birds: #1 Beaking Bad (Black Skimmers) #birds 🌿
Three black and white birds stand on a sandy beach. Two face each other and look like they’re having an argument. One’s beak is wide open and the other has its beak up in the air defiantly.

The thing is, we have a solution for this called stores. You can go to the store to buy something and have it available immediately. If it isn’t in the store, then it's not in ready supply, so you’ll have to wait. Fact that Amazon obliterated this understanding blows my mind.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a red ball labeled "A SILLY MEME".
The second panel shows Sarah taking the ball and going through a door labeled "GROUP CHAT".
The third panel shows a group of women sitting together and consoling one woman in the center. The woman in the center is saying "...And that's how it happened. It's been the worst day of my life."
The fourth panel shows Sarah standing in the doorway behind them awkwardly holding the red ball.

Let's fix that. The first three are an omnibus now, so it's easy to get started without feeling like an ATM. The Waverly Jones books are delightful. Our times aware, ACAB, character forward mysteries for the angry. If you yearn for justice but you live in the bad timeline, these are for you.

A block of loopy, swashy hand drawn lettering. Colored in an orange to purple gradient with a deep black 3D effect and some grungy decay and color filtering added. It reads, of course, ‘Maybe it’ll happen today’

I need to get some orders in fast or I am truly screwed. So, if you want BattleTech minis painted, I will waive the physical cost for anything I have in stock. You can get tabletop-quality painted 'Mechs for not much more than buying the models new.

Got a very exciting one-piece commission today. It's such a cool concept that I've put the Dreadnought Centurion completely aside for now; I'll finish it once things are settled. Maybe if y'all are cool tonight I'll share a little sneak peek.

We may or may not be headed into a massive job crisis due to AI but please do not promote any articles on this (or any other subject!) that use McKinsey Consulting as their primary source. They make Satan’s spin doctors look like cuddly do-gooders.

Dan Johnson will design games for food @coil.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Heck yeah.
Human-made over 5 years

No AI has been used to generate any code or content in or about the game, and never will be. Slow Roads has been a labour of love since the project began in 2021, and has been built with a decade of experience in 3D graphics and creative software development. Textures are hand-drawn, sounds are recorded locally, and all systems are designed and engineered specifically for the unique context of the game. This is a solo-developed project that I take great care over, and I believe AI simply doesn't belong in creative projects like these.

Please note that procedural generation is not a form of generative AI; the procedures used to generate the world in the game are mathematical functions that have been derived and defined by hand, with direct creative intent.

Given the transformations (if not the collapse) in my profession and the fields I cover—driven by AI—it’s not impossible. 🫠 It’s possible that in five years, this will simply be a "museum account," focusing solely on the 1895–2027 human period. I need you to create sci-fi.

Does anyone know the cover artist / designer of THE FORCING trilogy books by Paul E. Hardisty, published by @orendabooks.bsky.social? I've been unable to find that info online, and would love to include the info in an upcoming post on How Readers Find Books. 🤞🏽
Three side-by-side book covers for a trilogy by author Paul E Hardisty. From left to right:

The Forcing: An orange, cracked background featuring a white handprint that contains a black silhouette of a crowd of people.

The Descent: A red background with a central white circle showing silhouetted figures walking, surrounded by stylized yellow flames.

The Hope: A blue background with a pale fist rising from dark vines or branches at the bottom, engulfed in orange flames.

A long horizontal sign based on the ones at CTA stations that tell what stop you’re at. It’s gray with red, purple, and brown bands at either ends. Four pigeons are perched on the sign in various pigeon poses as a sunrise is seen in the background. The sign itself reads, ‘Maybe It will happen today’

Butt Trumpet on EMI. Whoever signed them must've thought he'd hit the jackpot. Three alt baddies who sometimes performed with their shirts off? Hell yeah, that's really going to fuel the outrage machine! But then the album was Primitive Enema and not a track on it could be played on the radio. LMAO
