What's a poster you had in your room growing up?

Movie poster for The Lord of the Rings (1978) animated feature. Worm's eye view of Gandalf, resting his sword point down on the ground as Frodo & Sam look up at him. His left arm is raised to shoulder height and a bolt of fire shoots out from his left index finger.

Very cool, though Screenrant seems to have missed The Snake Plissken Chronicles from Hurricane Entertainment in 2003 when they suggest the franchise has lain dormant since Escape from LA in 1996.

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.

I don't know whether to dread or be excited that, eventually, companies are going to start offering us 'A.i.'-free software for a premium price. Because I'm so tired of getting ready to update some piece of software & reading "NOW WITH 'AI' CRAMMED INTO A PREVIOUSLY PERFECTLY FUNCTIONAL APP!"

@dmacalvert.bsky.social Saw a message on Discord asking about these characters. Pretty sure this piece is one of yours (apologies if I'm wrong), so I thought I'd check with you: Were these characters ever used anywhere else or did you just do make them up for the one spot illo?

A group of Allied Nations superheroes from the Mutants & Masterminds Golden Age supplement. Giant in an orange and black costume with a clock emblem on the cheast. An aviator flying without a plane wearing a red, white, & blue scarf reminiscent of the French flag. A soldier with a Canadian flag shield on his leather tunic, wearing a "Tommy" helmet and carrying a sheild. A woman in a blue dress with white polka dots wearing a red babushka and red apron with the USSR hammer & sickle in yellow, carrying a rolling pin.

One dubious benefit to living so long with ADHD (even before I knew) is that I've learned a LOT of skills for repairing, salvaging, or otherwise restoring stuff that has been messed up due to my losing track or because I was trying to rush to finish something before my "get up and go got up & went."

I really need journalists to learn that every time OpenAI or Anthropic or xAI says that their model has broken containment and could destroy humanity that it’s a marketing pitch by companies running out of cash with high overheads and no profitable business model wanting more investment.

I really hate that people are posting 'A.i.' slop to make points about the awful stuff the current administration is pulling here in the US. I agree with the sentiment, but I don't want that slop in my feeds.

In case anyone is wondering, yeah. I hate asking for help. I'd rather just work and make money and pay my bills. Unfortunately, that's not happening right now. So I live with the embarrassment/shame of asking.

Just saw an 'A.i.' slop "tribute" to prolific writer Will Murray. It included a picture of actor Bill Murray. Because Generative 'A.i.' is garbage. What an insult to the memory of a tremendously creative man who MADE things.

Random reminder that the GOP's tax cuts for their billionaire donors ballooned the deficit, so they're blaming the problem on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid — while making cuts to programs that millions of Americans rely on. It's socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

Fair question! I use the periods to avoid slandering the Alberts, Albertos, and Alfredos of the world. I use a lower case "i" to devalue the industry's claim of "intelligence," because "A.i." is not sentient. And I add the quotes because the whole thing is an inaccurate, bogus marketing term.

Reading all the BIXBY GRANT: PRIVATE EYE comics by @patrickmcoyle.bsky.social & crew. (Wolf, She Cried Graphic Novel + Fangs & Brimstone #1-4.) Digging it! Reminds me of my late buddy Christopher Mills & Joe Staton's FEMME NOIR. Not in a derivative way, but it shares the spirit & sensibilities.

Bixby Grant, Mummy Private Eye, wearing a trench coat and fedora, is being menaced by a golem, a vampire, a demon, a gill man, a Frankenstein's monster lookin' guy, a werewolf, & a witch. In the background, his buddy Diego, a '50s greaser vampire, is fighting with a harpy in the air.
