I have separated the art from the artist and am now whipping the art to stiff peaks, after which I will gently fold it into the artist before baking at 350 til golden and puffed

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

Okay, after all the new cycles about GTA6 I've been trying to avoid commenting on, I've watched the latest trailers and I kinda feel I have to say something, so I've been collecting some thoughts while out walking about the state of gaming generally. This might be a long thread so bare with me.

I sent a SASE to get the Oregon Trail sourdough starter, which gave me a chance to use this delightfully appropriate D&D stamp.

Mailing envelope. The stamp is from the USPS Dungeons and Dragons collection, featuring a character holding up a bowl of green goo that I like to imagine is part of a delicious yeast based recipe.

Did you know octopuses are technically colorblind? 🌈 One photoreceptor, no color vision, should only see in grayscale. So how are they perfect color matching camouflage artists? 🐙 A thread 🧵 (with sources at the end, of course 😋) 🦑🐡

The finished work from before. Trying out something different. Gave it a rainbow lgbtq+ theme for Pride cuz there's no such thing as a heterosexual vampire. #Art #DarkArt #Pride

A portrait of a man's face which has a sliver of light cutting over it, and a spectrum of rainbow on that light. In the light, his face is normal. In the darkness of the shadows, you can see the aqua glow of tapetum lucidum in his shadowed eye, and he bears a fangy grin as he licks blood from his teeth.

Heard an interview today where a guy said (and I'm paraphrasing) "LLMs have had years to train on every aspect of chess, read every book and article about it, review every match, but when they play, they STILL makes illegal moves. That tells you everything." And. Yup.

"Your life should not be a museum." "Being alive is as special an occasion as it gets."

An image of three screenshotted tweets. The original from user @hell_doe: "Thinking about the girl who bought me coffee from Texas and joked that I would have to ration it out for special occasions. My friend, I do not save my good things. Being alive is as special an occasion as it gets."

User Mike Hamilton, RIV tweeted a screenshot of the original tweet to say: "being alive is as special an occasion as it gets" fundamentally altered my brain."

User Oliver Darkshire quote tweeted Hamilton to say, "Ten years as an antiquarian, hearing nothing but "my relative kept these untouched in a box their whole life but they died and I don't want this stuff" has radicalized me. annotate the books. use the china. wear the clothes until they wear out. your life should not be a museum."
