And I love how you have to be at the intersection of "terminally online" and "Star Trek fan" to get this joke

Hey Trekkies 👉🏿 Happy birthday to Clint Howard, who made his Star Trek debut at age 7 in "The Corbomite Maneuver." Decades later, he appeared on Deep Space Nine, Enterprise, and then decades after that, Discovery and Strange New Worlds.

Even if you just write a paragraph of story it still counts! And all writing is uncomfortable at first I think. But I believe you can do it!!!

It's the Sickos meme only this time it's Spock from Star Trek, and his shirt says "Spocko." He's got his hands up against the window and he's doing the Vulcan salute while saying "Yes... Ha Ha Ha... YES

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

what legal recourse do artists and museums have against international militaries stealing and using our work to commit warcrimes, since apparently that's a conversation we need to have now.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

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.

Just announced at NYCC! A new Vertigo series from Grace and I about fandom, obsession... and parasocial chaos :)

the cover for Fanatic, a new series from DC vertigo by Hannah Templer and Grace Ellis. The cover depicts a woman cast half in shadow, looking back over her shoulder in a look of surprise as she is caught holding a shovel and wearing a tattered costume in a wooded area. The colors are in two tones of blue and red

delighted to announce that Grace and I are indeed bringing you more Horrid Women

Alex Zalben @azalben.bsky.social · 5d

Fanatic is a comic about a woman obsessed with a comic. Ellis read an article about a woman who would post her chapters online, and determine what she should write next based on the feedback... The book is about the parasocial relationship between creators and fans, and what it's like to be a fan.

Edited screenshot from an episode of Star Trek Voyager. In the briefing room, Tuvok sits at the conference table in the foreground, Tom Paris sits behind him, and Harry Kim sits behind Tom in the background. Tuvok looks exasperated, and Tom looks extremely annoyed, they both look tired. In contrast, Harry looks positively energetic and upbeat, with a goofy, toothy smile. There is a speech bubble above Harry, and he says: "And I'm going to dress up like an admiral!"

A panel from a Star Trek comic, with Spock in front of a yellow background that swirls around him, evoking fire. He's holding his head in his hands and has an expression of distress and discomfort. He is thinking "what - what is WRONG with me? Why is my head POUNDING so?"

I purchased from Abi's shop because every random cheapo artist glove I've ever bought has fallen apart within weeks and I'm tired of it! I like buying things that are cute and made with care and will last– it's economically sensible AND less wasteful to support individual craft. what's not to love

This isn't towards those who are broke.

I've noticed that people devalue my work. I could have hundreds of reviews raving about my products. But people only wanna support me if they feel they're getting a VERY "cheap" price. While so many other creators can charge whatever for their products.

I’ll definitely put more serious thought into it. I need to find someone who’s good at cyber security we can trust — my best coding skills are 20 years old LOL 😬

Lately I’ve been thinking about making a private password protected forum or something. Idk. This also has to do with general censorship so I’ve been thinking a lot about having a communication Hub for both casual posting and also emergencies
