just to make clear to my new followers: I make stuff #BrazilianArtist #ArtistaBrasileiro #BRart #arteBR

Me (a white man with round glasses, goatee and mustache), dressed in a half-and-half red and yellow period jester costume. It has a cowl that curls upwards and ends in a bell. Below a red and yellow tunic, I'm wearing a black puff sleeve period shirt. The tunic is belted at the hip, and from the hip hangs a black mask with a long beak-like nose.

Me, wearing a wizard hat. The hat is a mimic, having a long red tongue, teeth around its long brim and five orange eyes along its point.

Me, wearing a white jeans apron with a gold rim. By the waist, there's a braid made of copper and golden ribbons, and by the bottom vines are painted in a golden paint.

A brown chest made to look like a mimic from the game Dungeons & Dragons. It has a long purple tongue out, six fangs and five red-ish eyes.

I know I can't beat the peak aesthetics of Mega Man Legends, but I'm doing the best I can!

TRON [1982]
Not only the visual and SFX were way ahead of its time, but legends of art & illustration worked on it. Here some concept art from Syd Mead and Moebius and some behind the scene photos of Jeff Bridges & Cindy Morgan in costume.

he's dressed as a malandro! its a spirit from afrobrazilian religions who are very strongly connected to the cultural image of Rio de Janeiro, being a spirit connected to our nightlife. not very flashy as Mr Universe costumes go, but a home run for culture-inspired ones!

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

"There are a lot of idiots on the internet" as judicial precedent.

Joshua J. Friedman @joshuajfriedman.com · 2d

"The views expressed by users @kaioken8026, @mrright8439, and @ZxZNebula ... do not alter the Court’s analysis."

The Court holds, based upon a full consideration of the context in which “Not Like Us” was published, that a reasonable listener could not have concluded that “Not Like Us” was conveying objective facts about Drake. The views expressed by users @kaioken8026, @mrright8439, and @ZxZNebula, and the other YouTube and Instagram commentators quoted in the Complaint, Am. Compl., ¶¶ 73-74, do not alter the Court’s analysis. In a world in which billions of people are active online, support for almost any proposition, no matter how farfetched, fantastical or unreasonable, can be found with little effort in any number of comment sections, chat rooms, and servers. “[T]hat some readers may infer a defamatory meaning from a statement does not necessarily render the inference reasonable under the circumstances.” Jacobus, 51 N.Y.S.3d at 336.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

In Final Fantasy Tactics if a unit gains too much faith they leave your party to go find God. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had Beast Tongue and got a monster unit to maximum faith? Of course you haven't. No one has.

If you only read one story today, make it @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social's breakdown of the Saudi-backed EA buyout, which includes thoughts from multiple business analysts and experts who explain what the $55B deal could mean for EA workers, its video games, and the wider industry.

Essential reading.
