I can understand that jokes about taunting Thor during thunderstorms are funny. Specifically linking me to a quote about standing in a thunderstorm in copper armour and shouting 'Thor is a cunt' makes me very uncomfy, even if it is a quote from Pterry, and I wonder why people think it's OK.

I am sick, and I am praying that I am the last one in the household to get it. I am sitting here with a noodle cup I paid a ludicrous amount for from Chatime and by the gods, I can feel it healing me. Just need that one spicy meal to get over the hill.

I was deep in the resin mines over the weekend, so there's another deliciously #gothic anatomical resin heart set available and ready to travel! These charms are #handmade and extremely fiddly, so get yours quick before they sell out again! www.femmecraft.com/product/goth... #bsnm #heart #altstyle

A pair of handmade resin heart earrings and a matching resin heart pendant hanging from a grey rod. Each charm has a long silver spike hanging from the base, and the pendant has an additional two tiny spikes at the base. The pendant is strung on black velvet ribbon wrapped around the rod.

You’re Getting In My Hair, created c.1968 by Mavis Oultram, in the art therapy studio at Netherne Hospital, Surrey, where she was compelled to live. This is one of a small number of surviving works, which all feature the motif of eyes. No biographical information is currently known to us

Painting of snaking flowering brown tendrils of human hairs with blue human eyes stashed on the unfinished head of a figure with only the eyes and brows partially painted in, the rest of the face sketched out in pale pencil but almost invisible

🚨 New report from the Australian Institute of Health & Welfare on mortality rates of working-age welfare recipients between 2012-2022 makes for grim reading, could be hugely improved tomorrow by raising rates as per the Government's own committee. @aihw.bsky.social www.aihw.gov.au/reports/cent...

Key findings

Of the 287,000 people aged 22-64 who died over 2012-2022, almost 3 in 5 people received income support payments

Coronary heart disease was the leading cause of death among income support recipients

Income support recipients were overrepresented in deaths from suicide, accidental poisoning, and alcoholic liver disease

Mortality rates and leading causes of death differed depending on the type of payment received

DID YOU KNOW I have a Redbubble store with some kick ass designs on all kinds of products? I just added a new design today, for my trans siblings and fellow #twinpeaks fanatics who still miss #DavidLynch. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1837... #transpride #bsnm #queerart

A hand drawn and digitally coloured image of a stylised red anatomical heart wrapped in rose vines with thorns and tiny leaves, and a banner that reads "Fix Your Hearts or Die". There is a tiny rosebud and a blooming rose coming out of the top of the heart, and both have petals in the pink, blue and white of the trans pride flag.

GDT's reddit AMA spitting fire www.reddit.com/r/movies/com...

reddit comment:

Hello! Did you intend the ending of Pan’s labyrinth to be real or in Ofelia’s mind?

Guillermo Del Toro's reply:

My interpretation, and it's exclusively mine, is that it's real.

Because there's two things. One is what people call “The Shining Question.” The Shining Question is, Who opens the door for Jack to get out of the fridge? And Ofelia is in an attic with a guard outside her door, and she draws the door with the magic chalk, and she shows up in the labyrinth. So, the only way she could have gone into the labyrinth is the magic chalk. And the flower is real at the end. The flower that blooms in the dead tree. And the reason I think it’s real is because—and this is why I'm in favor of the human factor in art—I think that art does transform the world. You know?

Think about it for a second. One of the goals, with all this movement, is to make you believe that art is vulgar. That art is nothing special, and anybody can do art. That is like me telling you that I'm faster at running than Usain Bolt but I “run” in my motorcycle. Well, that's not the same. That’s not the same at all.

Art is important, and they want you to believe it isn't. It's part of the idea of control. The goal is not to have artificial intelligence. The goal is to foster natural stupidity. The goal is to foster you not looking for answers, and to trust yourself entirely to an engine. Look at the way we are dipping our toes into these things. We are starting to ask the machine, Is this true? For now, there's a correlation between reality and what the answers of the machine are. For now. But soon, we won't even investigate further. We will be told it's true. And if the machine is in the hands of somebody who should not be trusted, then your reality has been completely and utterly fucked. Because your intelligence ends at the question. You don't seek the answer. It's given to you.

Q: You recently mentioned that AI creates 'semi-compelling screensavers' and that you'd 'rather die' than use it. As a filmmaker who relies heavily on practical effects and creature design, what do you think is the biggest thing lost when a computer generates an image instead of a human hand?

GDT:

The three quarters of the process that gave you the chance to think of the idea that people don't think about without that process. Meaning, AI can get you to the middle really fast, but there's a dialectic with the process that gets you to that top 10%. I'll give you an example with the Pale Man.

We sculpted it as an old man, with a face. And then I said, Let's take out the face. This happened because I saw a photo of a manta ray and the poster for Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm. That combination, which happened at two different times during a week or a month, are not permutations that are chemically part of an equation. They are alchemy. And then I said, Take out the face, and then I said, Let's put the eyes on the hands. This triangulation happens because I spent a month or two months living with the idea of this creature. And it's not linear.

AI is like a super-fast engine that makes semi-sentient permutations of things that are already done. Creation is things that have never been done. Coming to exist.

And the second thing is the loss of the apprenticeship that one has as an artist. You're never a master; you're always an apprentice. This is a kinship I have with, for example, Chris Nolan. When he showed me The Odyssey, there’s a scene when Matt Damon is floating in the stormy ocean and I asked him—because we were talking about practical effects, and how great it is and that we both always use a maquette or a model—and I asked him, How did you do it? He said, “We put him in a storm in the ocean.”

And you're gonna find that 30% of a great image occurs accidentally. You know, either a drop of water hits the lens, or the camera shakes. I remember when in 1993, '94, Jim…

Messing around with my anatomical heart mold again, and now I've got half of two pairs of earrings and I find myself paralysed trying to decide whether to finish one or both. Is both pairs too much anatomical heart stuff at once? Is one significantly cooler than the other? Please help me decide!

Two different different earrings, each with a small red resin anatomical heart just below the hook. The one on the left has two strings of blood red drops hanging from the bottom of the heart, the one on the right has a long silver spike dangling instead.

I took some neat new shots of these adorable resin charms today, so it seems like a good time to draw your attention back to them! Available in purple or pink (both variants glow in the dark) this is a great option if you don't wear jewellery much. www.femmecraft.com/product/love... #bsnm #kink

Two resin charms shaped like paddles with heart shaped ends, one pink and one purple - the pink one has black leatherette around the handle and the purple one has neon purple "rope" around it. They're both attached by a jump ring to a keychain attachment in silver, and both paddles have "Be Good" in tiny black capital letters on the broadest end.

The pink paddle shot in the dark so you can see the strong gold glow.

Ally shit.

excerpt from a reddit post: Unsure of how normal/weird this is, but I met a (cis afab) woman who is a very vocal supporter of the trans and queer community. Basically, whenever someone acts terf-ish with her, she suddenly 'comes out' to them as actually being a trans woman, to see how they react — and if they suddenly start claiming they could tell etc, then she 'comes out' again as actually cis. She doesn't try to go to trans-only events or spaces,
