The conservative idea that education, intelligence and learning is linear, by the way, is why tech bros are convinced that Artificial General Intelligence is possible and that what OpenAI et al are doing will lead there.

The veneration of Books As Objects misses the point entirely. If you're reading a book, turn the corners down, break the spine, spill soup on it. It's your book, go nuts. A pristine, unread book is a tragedy in a way that a beloved, much-read book that looks like the dog's been at it could never be.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

#PortfolioDay

Digital painting of 2 wyverns locked in mid-air battle. The one on top shooting blue flames at the one below. The lower wyvern has multiple white eyes and small front arms.

Digital painting in monochrome of a multiple-eyed dragon's face emerging from mist. It has outwardly set teeth and a semi-skeletal appearance.

Digital painting of an anthro roko resting atop a roiling mass of flesh that contains teeth, eyes, feathers and spikes. The rook looks pleased and content.

Digital painting of a werewolf perching a top a high rock menacingly, silhouetted by a golden circle behind it.

Remembering the most brutal cataloging note I've ever had to make

Due to a litany of errors, omissions, and contradictions, the issue numbering system for Q64 is incomprehensible. As such, volume numbers have been omitted from this collection, and the issues are referred to by their seasonal publishing dates instead.

Very good letter from the human rights commissioner for the Council of Europe about the troubling legal situation emerging for trans people in the UK following the For Women Scotland Supreme Court judgment.

I got my bat (Fleder) a few years ago, made for me by @nicodemusrat.bsky.social.

I don’t give him the attention he deserves and I want to see him get more use! Taking offers on the suit. Just in time for Halloween ;-)

I’m 6’3” 210lbs but it could be worn by shorter folks easily.

Super comfy suit.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

It's the exact equivalent of being mad at NASA for telling you that your idea about Mars being closer than we thought is wrong, and then acting vindicated when you run into an asteroid on your otherwise-doomed voyage into space.
