Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch

But the helmet has gold decoration, and the bespoke armorers had made a new gleaming breastplate with useless gold ornamentation on it. Sam Vimes felt like a class traitor every time he wore it. He hated being thought of as one of those people that work stupid ornamental armor. It was gilt by association.

Maybe holding independent creators to the same standards that we do huge soulless corporations was never really fair. We could have let everyone draw their big tiddy OCs in peace.

For boring reasons my back bumper used to have a tiny, beat-up sticker that just said "film." One time a car followed us for many blocks, all the way home. It was an older guy and he wanted to pitch me his screenplay. We don't live in LA. He didn't know who I am at all. It was just the sticker.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is.

Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.com

A figure stands in a barren landscape; reaches for the lever on a large, eccentric contraption covered in wires, pipes, dials and buttons; looks over towards two figures inside a bunker and says:

"'Trust me, it's safe' would sound a lot more reassuring if you weren't saying it from inside a concrete bunker."

cracked it

A Twitter post by sarrah bellus where someone asked “what’s wrong with musks body?” with photos from a recent visits somewhere outside. He’s standing in all black and cowboy boots. His chest is thrust forward and he has an anterior pelvic tilt. Next to him is two photos of a person from the mid 20th century study showing a person with estrogen deficiency - this person is in their underwear, they have knock knees, hunched shoulders, a protruding chest, which is a sign of estrogen deficiency. The thought here is that Elon musk, suspected of taking too much testosterone, has a similar estrogen deficiency. The quoting post by Dave greenridge says as much.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Yesterday someone tried to sell me on AI as a legit resource for legal advice, and when I told him it glitches and hallucinates enough to be a genuine liability he responded “well, it’s the future” with a special kind of annoyance. It’s only! The future! If we keep! Using it!
