I painted Martin Sheen as his character on The West Wing, and today at NYCC, he signed the piece. He was very impressed and wanted to know more about my Warhammer artwork. Nerd dream come true today!! #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer

Invaluable piece, grateful to these patients for organizing.

A group of 53 people with #LongCOVID joined a clinical trial for Vyvgart. For many of them, the treatment changed everything.

Then, without warning, Argenx canceled the trial.

Most of them have now relapsed.

They're calling on the NIH and HHS to study the drug: bit.ly/48l1Qp5

A photo Nicole Barrick, a woman in a pink KN95 mask, receives an infusion of Vyvgart. The text reads, "The Sick Times. Vyvgart brought us back to life, but the Long COVID trial was canceled. We are calling on the NIH and HHS to study the drug. By Clare Banaszewski, Nicole Barrick, Mike Bilik, Addie Davis, Mia Delli Gatti, Ellie Hayes, Roman White."

"For those living with Long COVID, every ounce of hope is hard-won. This isn’t just about physical symptoms. It’s about the emotional toll of being given hope — and then having it taken away." - Vyvgart clinical trial participants

"Frog! Frog! Frog! Frog!"

"FROGS TOGETHER STRONG" (and how cute are the two little frogs holding hands)

Guys I just fucking love this so much

I love frogs, and I love these frogs in particular.

Here's my first take on redesigning the Abbai Lakara Cruiser from #Babylon5Wars. I removed most of the industrial design elements from the ship, giving it a more rounded look. I tried retaining as much of the original design elements as I could, while keeping the ship consistent with the other Abbai

After the successful deployment of the 'Green Devil' prototype, mass production has begun on the Antifa Standard Issue FR-0.G Power Suit.

This will be the turning point of the war.

When the Supreme Court struck down Biden's policies, it was tempting to think: "At least these limits on executive authority will bind Trump if he comes back into office." But no—the court's skepticism of executive power vanished on Jan. 20, 2025. This dynamic is obvious to anyone paying attention!

WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

June 11: GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn introduces a bill to defund NPR and PBS because of their "left-wing propaganda" and "radical leftist gender ideology."

October 7: The news industry's main trade group gives Blackburn its "Support Journalism Champion Award."

Just shameless.

Los Angeles didn't burn. Segments of our population were brutally attacked, kidnapped & shipped off to gulags but the city and the majority of its citizens neither saw nor felt it. The attacks were confined.

Zero. American cities are burning. There are ICE attacks and staged photo ops. That's it.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

This was never about deporting criminals. It’s about Stephen Miller’s campaign of ethnic cleansing.

Tweet from Alex Tabarrok reads:
“Sergio Garcia, celebrated Chef who came to the US before ICE even existed. Deported after 36 years.
The picture tells you a lot about the decline of the Republican party.”
Attached photo shows Sergio Garcia standing with Laura and George W. Bush outdoors. The photo is signed: “To Sergio Garcia, With best wishes – George & Laura Bush.”

My teeth go from "fine" to "abscess" without much of a transition period, so I can sympathize with you there! Two of my teeth that are more filling than tooth are scheduled for crown prep next month. 😭

At this rate, before too long my smile will look like Jaws from the Bond movies!

The algo fed me that video, too, and yeah -- it looks like their channel is already one step removed from AI slop as it is, and the further you get into the video the more it's basically got the pom-pom's out for AI and only complaining because it won't fully automate their workflow.

Sounds about right for BGG. About every time I try to upload anything to BGG it gets rejected, including once when I was trying to add an extra for a second edition of one of our games :P

No rhyme or reason for the capricious mod responses over there, which is really frustrating.

Still piss off. Though at some point I may have to step away from Adobe for 'Reasons' but not this.
