By the way it's a casket, not a dildo. ...But eh, The People will *not* not see a dick. No. So like, whatever. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The latest digital teaser poster for Dune Part Three, featuring the casket of Hayt (the ghola version of Duncan Idaho). It does unavoidably look phallic.

Apropos of nothing in particular, a few years ago I made the following digital doodle...
A digital cartoon drawing of a canvas on a wall with the words "Digital Art" painted on the canvas; under the canvas is a caption in Times New Roman font saying, "This is not digital art." Made in 2021.

If any of all y'all reading this like absolutely hate Substack but wanna see the 'toon:
Ann Telnaes political cartoon: Donald Trump holding a handgun and pointing at street signs for Fifth Avenue and Free Press, speech bubble: "It is a threat to our national security, and must be stopped, now!" Behind Trump is the personal assistant and Trump's 'binky' Natalie Harp holding a box of bullets with puppy-eye adoration and hearts on her face & eyes.

Artist! Drop something creepy!
"Angel of Death" (2021) - made in Autodesk Sketchbook for Windows during that time when there were quite a few undoubtedly religiously motivated attacks in Jakarta in the 2020s. Picture of a lady in a blue hijab with six arms, two arms controlling her scooter and her other arms holding firearms. She has blue angel wings. And riding behind her is a red devil with devil wings holding her head.

Once upon a time I considered getting a Keychron M6 8K mouse as an MX Master alternative because I too dislike the Logitech bloatware-nagware. But eventually I went with that locally-produced Pressplay "gaming-oriented" lightweight mouse I've been using lately.

Also I spotted this old screenshot I took some time ago. Can't even remember where or whom I "stole" it from. But I feel it still reflects of the mood of Public Combative Social Media today. #DeadInternetTheory #WhyWeCantHaveNiceThings #ScreamingPastEachOther

Me. I'm afraid of playing this game. Yes I'm afraid this could exacerbate my own anger issues. Maybe it can help others, and in that case more power to you. I'd rather just sketch more deathly drawings, I think. Or something.

I came across an interesting read of the Star Wars narrative universe, just a few hours ago on one of the currently many alt-Twitters of the World...
Sleepysavior at Threads: "Far, far too many people have put Star Wars on a pedestal of nostalgia and disconnected themselves from what Star Wars actually is.
A campy, pulp fiction, retro-futuristic, diesel punk, spaghetti western, samurai, fantasy, space opera where a guy learned space magic from a ghost and a puppet so he could fight his cyborg dad with the help of a tribe of teddy bears."

So I heard that Trump has declared the Iran War is over*...
Spoof of John Lennon & Yoko Ono "War Is Over!" campaign from the 1960s, with Donald Trump & Pete Hegseth taking their place. The poster they hold reads, "For Legal Purposes: War in Iran Over! -- if you want it. Happy Easter from Donald & Pete". The background shows pluming smoke from burning ships & buildings.

One semi-unconventional opinion I have though, is that I also like the "Worm-Ball" logo. But then my taste does somewhat tend towards the slightly less conventional, such as that I like Durian-Chocolate Ice Cream, and that I think Avocado Milk Coffee is just fine as a dessert-beverage...
A mashup of the Meatball insignia with the Worm logotype. The 'NASA' written in the middle of the ball, originally in a serif font, is replaced with the Worm logotype.

Also it's nice to know that the two designs are effectively royalty free... (...as are many official US government diagrams, graphic designs, and photographs etc.) (so long as the use doesn't misrepresent the US government etc., etc.) #Artemis2 #MoonMission2026 #AppliedGraphicDesign
@regard@threads.com: Another couple of fun facts, NASA has a marketing budget of $0. We also do not charge to license our brand, that would require congressional approval. We do require review and approval for use.

Ferdinand F. Zebua @ferdizebua.bsky.social · 06/04/2026
I've known for a long time that the NASA logotype is nicknamed "the Worm", and the logo "the Meatball"; but I've only realized today that they're *both* officially in-use branding at the same time (Meatball as official logo, and the Worm as supporting element) www.threads.com/@regard/post...
@regard@threads.com, in reply to @christianjosep@threads.com: 

NASA Creative Director here - we reintroduced the Logotype as a supporting element and worked with Richard Danne (one of the two original worm designers) to update the Graphics Standards Manual so they can live happily together in the same universe. The Insignia (meatball) is still our official logo.
