I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

Where to Start with Fritz Leiber’s Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser?

Fafhrd, towering Northern barbarian, and Mouser, weaselly little thief, form a wonderfully visually complementary whole, and that’s even before you get to their actual personalities.

Yes, I believe you shared that with me before.

It's awesome nonetheless.

when someone says "my dice are cursed" you sort of have to agree with them because if you say "marius you are a grown man and I know you know that's not how probability works" they won't say anything but they'll treat you like you are in league with the cursed dice

My only push back is that nothing deserves to be forgotten.

But I might be in the minority there.

I watched it all last year and have to echo @runeslinger.bsky.social a 100% on The Sandbaggers.

Runeslinger @runeslinger.bsky.social · 22h

If you have not heard of The Sandbaggers, I cannot recommend it highly enough. An intense and inside view of the life of spies during the cold war, written by a naval officer who died or disappeared mysteriously and may have been an agent himself~

Labour minister was in Leafs glass seats with director of company he granted funding to

The ‘lower-scoring’ company got $7.5M of tax dollars through David Piccini’s office and is a client of the lobbyist whose Parisian wedding the minister recently attended

family health emergencies mean I've had to pull out from trading at tomorrow's Partizan in Newark. That's a big hit to cashflow so I've just put a 10% off code on the shop to grab some orders instead - use PARTIZAN10 at Checkout to qualify. I'll ship out existing show pre-orders on Monday!

From one iconic design to another: Tron (1982) & Akira (1988)

Director and writer Katsuhiro Ōtomo: “In terms of Kaneda's bike in Akira, the initial inspiration was the lightcycles from Tron designed by Syd Mead. However, they are wide, so I halved them and used that as an initial basis.”
