Here's that same Trakker/Thunderhawk image sans Matt.

Spent *WAY* too much time on that intake only to cover 60% of it when I dropped in the figure.

Sucks to suck, Canete.

Rendering other people's art is a great exercise in thinking about shapes and forms that are outside of my own comfort zone.

Original line art by my pal Dan Larson of YT "Secret Galaxy" fame. Great artist, stellar human being.

I got the email notification about this from Spreadshirt last week and promptly deleted my account. If you have one, you should too.

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today.

h/t @tisserand.bsky.social

Scan of a typed letter from 1970, from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, addressed to "Joel Lipton, 622 N. Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210"

It reads:

"Dear Joel:

I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen than it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country.

I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities.

Sincerely yours,

Charles M. Schulz"

I'm sure soldiers programmed with nothing but brutal lethality with the stated goal to kill and break stuff while encouraged to torture and terrorize will transition seamlessly back into civilian life after discharge.

Dude if the Democratic Party has a place for anti-trans and anti-abortion candidates then I’m not a democrat and I won’t vote for one

I don’t know what to tell you man, there’s already a political party who believes these things

It’s not a “big tent” to have zero fixed values in pursuit of power

This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:
