A piece of War of the Worlds art by Henrique Alvim Corrêa with a big ol' red filter because BLOOOD and VAMPIRES. In this pic one of the Martian walking machines is being struck by a blast of artillery.

Atomic Robo, sharply dressed in a swanky pale pink shirt and brownish slacks is tossing some crumpled up paper into a nearby trashcan while saying "With gusto!" because that's a great line read from an episode of FUTURAMA.

A sample cover of FUTURESHOCK 2017, a TTRPG I'm (theoretically) working on. The basic idea is that this will be a special updated 40th anniversary edition of the original text which had a small self-published print run back in 1987 — thus both predating and influencing the much more successful Cyberpunk 2012 and Shadowrun TTRPGs.

A lot of """"creatives"""" have seemingly accepted generative AI as part of art and filmmaking and I'm hear to say you're all big stinky phonies and I hate you

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

This would single-handedly transform the lives of everyone I know in such profound ways it is difficult to fully articulate, but it would also let us actually make more and different and crazy things

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

The cover for the 1994 Cyberpunk sourcebook NeoTribes which introduces/expands upon the Nomad character class, the in-world history of Nomads, and what they get up to in the present day so you can get an idea of life outside of the big cities and play as a Nomad or a whole group of them.

The cover features a rather rough and tumble crew and their modified vehicles. The overall vibe is like Mad Max filtered through more sci-fi detritus.

In the setting, Nomad clans or tribes or families (I think the terminology has changed over various editions? Or maybe it depends on the scale of the particular Nomad group in question?) are folks who brave the vast wilds and wastelands between the major cities of North America delivering goods and personnel and contraband.

We tend to find a higher than expected number of Native Americans among the Nomads possibly because many of them come from rural communities particularly the Southwest. It’s nice they made an effort to include more Native representation in their setting, but I worry this would have suffered from the kinda embarrassing ‘90s fascination with Native culture that often went no deeper than some throwing around some superficial aesthetics.

The mistake most make about the climate crisis, is in thinking that anthropogenic climate change, is the crisis. No, the climate crisis is that the science clearly describes the danger of ACC, but our whole system, acts as if this danger is not real. That is the crisis.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.
