That's how I am really, the few I have are from social gatherings where it feels weird if I don't. 🫠

I'm a person that has maybe four to six drinks a year, I live in WI. I'm surrounded by bars and people that overdo it on way too regular of a basis.

And at a fraction of the cost! You completely correct.

Judd @judda.bsky.social · 4h

I do! Adds some depth

It's really sad to me how much hate has won in the last 20 years. I'm still hoping, in a very Tendi like fashion, that we'll be able to correct it and get things back on track.

If my grandfathers served in the US Air Force and Navy in world war 2, does that mean antifa is in my blood???

A punch that sounds like a kick is impressive as all heck! There's one kid in our youngest's class that has mad power behind him.

Used to drive through pedftigo when going to see family and learned about the fire that way.

SNW RING OF FIRE Cover Alt-Text for Bluesky

Book cover for STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS – RING OF FIRE by New York Times Bestselling Author David Mack.

Illustration has a purple-ish space starfield background; very prominent in the center is a black hole surrounded by a reddish-orange-yellow halo of gravitationally distorted light (the titular “ring of fire”). Ghosted and floating in front of this cosmic horror in a pyramid formation are Nurse Christine Chapel (Jess Bush), lower left; first officer Lieutenant Commander Una Chin-Riley (Rebecca Romijn), middle left; Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), top center; science officer Lieutenant Spock (Ethan Peck), middle right; and security officer Lieutenant La'An Noonien-Singh, lower right, brandishing a phaser like the awesome badass she is. It’s a truly badass cover, thought it would have been nice if they’d made my name bigger, but whatever.

I'm married to a graphic designer with a college degree and the company they work for has done a few "AI" trials with terrible results in that the designs are garbage and won't work as needed.
Art is a deeply human subject, and I don't foresee AI slop taking it over. The bubble is almost gone.

/le sigh, the time it takes for you to complain about alt text you could’ve written it already

when people get annoyed something’s not accessible think of it like people getting annoyed there’s no wheelchair ramp or something, would you complain about people needing access in those situations too?

Ghostbusters was one of my earliest interests and it's made me appreciate seeing her appear in so many great things. I didn't watch Alien until quite a bit later but dang if she didn't nail that role.

I can hear the glory of Vincent Price so thank you.

Judd @judda.bsky.social · 1d

That's what I was thinking too. The best part is that it's right across from the track of a middle school so I'm hoping a lot of kids are getting to see it.

Judd @judda.bsky.social · 1d

That'd be great!

Judd @judda.bsky.social · 1d

I can't see it without thinking of this and I think that's a double win.
