The future of The Republican Party, just following Trump's lead. Worse the longer you read.

Wow! 2900 pages of chats filled with hate and racism. So sad that at such a young age they’ve built up this much animosity. Young Republicans chats were leaked. Not shocked by what I’m seeing but I am saddened.

Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

Hello #PortfolioDay , here I assembling small lines to create things with teeth, feathers & tentacles

Dessin colorisé d'une reine crapaud portant couronne, cape et sceptre. Elle a un cœur sur la poitrine et garde sous ses pattes couvert de bijoux, un tas de pièces d'or. Derrière elle un cadre rond de style art nouveau, au-dessus une mare couvert de nénuphars

Dessin noir et blanc d'un crâne d'oiseau emmêlé d'un fil et dessous duquel sortent des tentacules. Autour flottent des plumes et des petites clés. En arrière plan un vitrail central entouré de livres anciens posés sur des étagères

Dessin noir et blanc d'un évêque squelette portant une mitre et muni de cierges à la place des mains et de tentacules à la place des jambes. Autour de lui flottent des livres. En-dessous des têtes à la bouche grande ouverte semblant psalmodier de sombres litanies

Dessin colorisé d'une musicienne jouant du luth dans la forêt, assise sur un tronc couché, pour de dansants champignons

Why genAI exists when you see all the talented artists in portfolio day? I truly cannot understand (except I can, and it's because it's cheaper or people are lazy).

But yeah, please know that all of you artists, creators, even if you didn't post today, rule 💖✨

AI sucks ass.

Whether mine or not, I thought Marvel never using “Midguardian” was a missed opportunity.

On his election in 1655, Pope Alexander VII commissioned Gian Lorenzo Bernini to sculpt a skull in marble, which he kept on his desk as a reminder of death's omnipresence. The sculpture was rediscovered in 2021 at Schloss Pillnitz, Dresden

Guido Ubaldo Abbatini, Pope Alexander VII with Bernini's skull (1655-56), Art Collection of the Sovereign Order of Malta, Rome. Pope Alexander VII sits in an elaborately carved chair, carved with the Chigi coat of arms, and rests his hands on a carved skull on the desk in front of him and looks out at the viewer

Heh. I hope this detail is his, or suggested.

Jeffrey Stackhouse @shadowlandonline.bsky.social · 2d

Absolutely one of the very best. I was too young to (then) know about his EC work, but *all* of his Horror pieces are very top tier.
Congrats on that excellent "get."

Jeffrey Stackhouse @shadowlandonline.bsky.social · 3d

Next time one of your "friends" mentions those FBI Agents in the crowd, you can console them with the fact that Trump also forgot that he was President on Jan. 6th. 2021.
But maybe they should see a doctor, just in case.

I only get to read before bed bt 2 for me, as well.
I'd never read #Palahniuk 's CHOKE before & his voice is so damn straight-forward&complex that it's always a delight
& then ART OF THE GRIMOIRE is a beautiful visual compendium of tidbits I mostly knew *of* but had certainly never been immersed in.

A sillhouetted portrait over red of Chuck Palahniuk's sex-addicted main character who makes his funds by allowing others to "save" him from dying,
and "an illustrated history of magic books and spells" with a dual-personality of a bat-winged figure, both aspects crowned and one holding a cup of feathered serpents while the other holds serpent-creatures bare handed.

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.

B&W photograph of a boy sitting on a rock with an overlarge gruesome mask (blackened lips over irregular teeth, large wrinkles around eyes, tuft of "hair" on top) with enormous rubber hands mit gnarled fingers.
I SO wish I could find documents on this mask.

See, I think what it was missing is the gravitas Langella would have brought. And would have elevated it to tie more strongly to the Corman.
Different strokes, & still a terrific series o' stories.

lol

In a gold-dripping room with Rubio and Hegseth seated to either side, Trump is framed with the golden bald eagle statue placed behind him creating the 'illusion' of a halo of horns on his head. The photo was taken Thursday during a cabinet meeting attended by Trump and a number of high-ranking officials in his administration by photojournalist Jim Watson, formally a photographer for the U.S. Navy.

Jesse "Pecke in the Crowne" Locker @jessemlocker.bsky.social · 6d

In this self-portrait by Pieter Van Laer (known as Il Bamboccio), ca. 1635–37, the artist portrays himself performing a magic ritual and, to his own horror, having summoned up some kind of demon. The sheet music has his signature and the words “il diavolo non burla” (“the devil doesn’t jest”)

"In one of the most remarkable self-portraits ever created, Pieter van Laer reacts with horror to the frightening claws of the devil that have suddenly come to claim him. Dressed in the black cloak and cap of a magician, the artist, with bulging eyes and open mouth, has witnessed this apparition while standing behind a table filled with books, some with alchemical notations, a variety of vessels, a snuffed-out candle, and a skull resting on hot coals" (Leiden Collection) https://www.theleidencollection.com/artwork/self-portrait-with-magic-scene/

Wonderful posting; made me "follow." And your ALT has shamed me into putting more care into mine. Salud.
