I just know that in an alternate timeline there is an Xfiles episode where the pulsating sounds from a data center causes a loving family man to murder his family/friends, w/ Mulder & Scully proving it, as it ends w/ an ominous panning montage of other data centers being constructed around the U.S.…

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

"The apotheosis of insanity.” For the 20th anniversary of 30 Rock, I went deep on my favorite thing about it: all the fake shows, movies, and songs. With help from Tina Fey. www.theringer.com/2026/10/08/t...

From ‘MILF Island’ to ‘The Rural Juror’: Inside the Fake World of ‘30 Rock’

Nothing explains the greatness of the NBC sitcom—which premiered 20 years ago—like its TV, movie, and song parodies. “They were a treat to write,” says Tina Fey.

I try to do larger projects, but to do that, I have to bring in people. And when they don’t deliver, the project fails, then I look bad… The anxiety I feel when I can’t control it is one thing, but the absolute anguish when it fails due to others… ugh. Today is hopefully not one of those days. 🤞🏻

Stopped by a store, a woman standing inside was still there & visually nervous as I am leaving, enough that I asked if she was okay. There was a guy outside that harassed her on the way in & was outside still. So I walked her to her car, & the dude vanished. Went back & reported him.

The same time that the Cornell Seven Rape was being reviewed and the men given BS things like an essay to write, Cornell officials banned four students for 3 years for a non-violent pro-Palestine protest… This culture needs to be completely overhauled. I am just tired of the absolute horribleness.

I legit never realized that Dumbledore was the guy that wrote and sung MacArthur Park. Knew the name. Never realized it was that Richard Harris. Arguably, I knew the song cause of Weird Al Parody and I think that was one of my first CDs ever. And never really cared for the original 7+ min song.

Similar vein is “We” by Zamyatin, written over 100 years ago… which is the book that inspired Orwell. I just can’t deal with the stories where the soul/creativity of man is cut out by the ominous overlords and the person that helped him grow it is destroyed while they apathetically look on.

All the talk of surveillance I decided to revisit Orwell’s 1984. I really forgot the story; Winston sitting in that cafe really does end up loving Big Brother & the way he believes it all… They win over his love for Julia & personal beliefs. Ugh… Need a suggestion for palette cleanse.

I have lots of other things I’m working on & excited for, but trying to figure out the next 2-5 year trajectory has been a struggle. I feel bad for friends who did shows this weekend, & like me, did about a third of normal sales. Im posting this to remind you to check in on your art friends.

In the past 2 years, Ive definitely lost a substantial & formerly stable amount of small jobs to AI. But now that the economy is at a point where diesel is high & a bag of groceries is like $100, all of the extra little shows/sales are drying up… And getting notes that big projects are now on hold.

well, this is a first, client sent me a bunch of AI renderings. (not the first for that), but they are asking me to "sketch out the idea" from the AI renderings so they can get it approved by the person that made the AI rendering... We are using their AI rendering as the model for the 3d print...?

I’m not happy this happened to this man. I won’t take pleasure in the misfortune of others… it’s just frustrating to see idiots get suckered and then see them have this happen. I was told that I must allow them the dignity to experience the result of their own actions… so, here it is. Sighhhh

I was tagged in a thread, last year a bunch of people were telling a POC wearing a Trump / MAGA outfit that he was backing someone who would have him deported. The guy blew up on us & said I was using the race card.(?) Reason I was tagged was the news that ICE got him & he lost his business.

The weird thing that Trump Loyalists proudly say is how either the orange idiot, or their own personal statements “get under the skin” of people. I don’t get it. The repugnant happiness & sense of self righteousness when they say that instantly makes them look stupid. What sad childish people…

Society doesn’t care enough for its own future to focus on making the best next generations. The argument today I just stopped and blocked him. It was practically a child. All I felt was a pity for an adult that was never raised in a community that helped him see why he’s an idiot. It was sad.

had an argument on a news paper post and I decide to go and see who I’m arguing with and it’s this doughy faced married 20-something spouting off far right ideologies. In the town just next to wear I grew up. I pity the man, he speaks of things he has zero understanding of, parroting ignorance.

I can’t stress how we have failed the young men in this nation. We had the data & the resources to help raise truly the best, but the algorithm pushing unhealthy male ideology like Tate & christian nationalists has ruined a generation. It’s like the horrible ideal body image forced on young girls.

There are literally thousands of more reasons why Trump is a horrible person and his corruption is seemingly boundless, but that was the first example I went with only because I’m not seeing the Capitol One account closures in the news that isn’t from out of the country.

Magnus Champlin @magnusapollo.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Do you think the presidency and representatives of the U.S. will ever get back to a point where there is almost zero tolerance for blatant crime and money laundering? Having 300+ accounts for Trump closed by Capital One would have been weeks of news and have a decent president forced to step down.

Seeing the sister of Lyndsey Graham, with literally zero experience, getting appointed to his job, is just pointing out that it’s apparently not a hard job being a senator if you can literally drop any random person in there at any time without worry. I’m just so tired of the stupidity.

A little Jamal #DCC fanart for this week's drawing challenge, with the theme "Shark Attack". He's more likely to attack with apologies though. (I had to draw him, since I was finding way too many AI slop renditions of him.) #dungeoncrawlercarl #dccfanart

A drawing of a hammerhead shark in a harness that has mechanical spider legs attached to it. The harness also has a flame thrower attached to the bottom, where some flames are shooting out. The shark is saying "Jamal has so many sorries to give!" I don't know, Dungeon Crawler Carl is absurd.

Discord & some social medias outlets that love the use of GIFs, you’ll notice a big change as of June 30th, Google is shutting down GIF provider Tenor's public API. So all Apps that rely that to source GIFs will lose direct access to the entire library. Why? More room for data centers & AI.
