Art has fallen off so much these days. Oh sure let me just draw the Home Depot guy’s son in a blue suit. Give me $12.4 million dollars please.

Give me a break.
The Blue Boy by Thomas Gainsborough. Painted in 1770. Sold for $728,000 in 1921 to the Huntington Library. ($12.4 million in 2025 dollars)

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread
My hand holding a shortbread cookie in the shape of an airplane. There are red sprinkles in the pattern of the survivorship bias plane. A plate of the same cookies.

Wicked scratches an itch for the femslash people because it does a gender flipped version of that thing a lot of shounen anime do where the relationship between the same gender main characters is a bond stronger than all of space and time and the opposite gender love interest is there also I guess

i'ma be honest, my main problem with the "this is what a boy looks like" *selfie of her: a normal feminine trans woman* bit is more the lack of novelty. it's been run into the ground at this point. stale

Rolling out the Matt Christman quote from after Charlottesville (2017) again:
And that's what these guys are, these guys that marched in Charlottesville, these are the people who are aware of the unspoken premise of this sort of zombie neoliberalism that we're living in, which is that we're coming to a point where there's gonna be ecological catastrophe, and that it's gonna require either massive redistribution of the ill-gotten gains of the first world, or genocide. And these are the first people who have basically said, "Well if that's the choice, then I choose genocide", ", and they're getting everyone else ready, intellectually and emotionally, for why that's gonna be okay when it happens, why they're not really people. When we're putting all this money into more fucking walls and drones and bombs and guns to keep them away, so that we can watch them die with clear consciences, it's because we've been loaded with the ideology that these guys are now starting to express publicly.

Guys writing the bible:

Mark: Hey remember that streaker when Jesus was getting arrested? lmaoooo

Q: That was dumb, I’m leaving that out.

Later…

Matt & Luke: Thanks for the notes, one question, was there really a streaker?

Mark: Ye-

Q: No, absolutely not, don’t include that.

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

Do you not think it's bizarre to have strangers on the internet decide they know better than Brianna's own loved ones on what is or isn't insulting to her memory?

I've got no time for Rosie Duffield, but she turned up at a drop-in event in Parliament and that's been the limit of her involvement.
