New #shortstory - this is a thriller that revolves around a pair of friends on one last hunting trip. where old feelings come in different shades of intensity. www.grantstoye.com/post/dead-le...

Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground

Once they were seated and covered with a camouflage blanket, Ed offered a steaming thermos to his friend. It smelled lovely, a rich dark roast that hinted at chocolate and warmed Darren up even before...

As many of you know, I work in tech for my day job.

All I can say is that I've seen so many folks in that field (via dev conferences, mostly), who are so cooked, so completely reliant on the slop generators that shit's going to get weird when everything starts tumbling down.

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought

An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

RIGHT? They have to do SOMETHING that improves the team, some real bananas acquisitions

therealgstoye @therealgstoye.bsky.social · 10h

Shit man, after this game I’m not nearly as worried about launching a KS this week.

*editor’s note: Grant’s lying

Like, look at who the mariners brought in at the deadline and look at who the tigers brought in. Scott Harris really needs to hit some goddamn home runs on acquisitions

Independent comics as an industry would barely exist these days without the tireless efforts of Kickstarter's staff behind the scenes. As they advise, keep supporting all the amazing projects you already are, but have their back in the process.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

Goddamn I love Marvel series 2

It’s not fair when artists who makes incredible art are also gorgeous.

Just be a gargoyle like the rest of us.

therealgstoye @therealgstoye.bsky.social · 2d

like, how many different ways can they try to tell the same story?

therealgstoye @therealgstoye.bsky.social · 2d

Just like the excessive use of death and resurrection in the Big Two comics, having every Event have global-to-universal ramifications makes the stakes seem less impactful - especially when there HAS to be an Event every year.

The Hearth (1/21)

A sapphic horror comic about witchcraft and hunger in the dead of winter.

An illustrated cover for a short comic called The Hearth by lainey williams. A cabin sits in a clearing in a snowy forest. The small windows in the log cabin are lit yellow and there is a trail of blood through the snow leading to the door. Smoke rises from the cabin’s chimney to surround the title. On either side of the smoke are illustrations in the style of Karelian embroidery, showing stylized geometric patterns in red thread. On the left side embroidery section, there is a depiction of a woman kneeling. her hands are stained red and she wears a headscarf. Opposite her is a woman standing. Instead of a left arm she has a wing. Over the top of the image, two geese shaded in red fly over the cabin and smoke. The trees all around the cabin are shaded in dark blue.
