megaman wiki casually mentions that strikeman (the giant baseball) has intentionally sent a person to the hospital while working his job as a pitching machine. for some reason this made me think "what if 'roboenza' was fake and the robots just hated their jobs"

Fight against daunting odds, because it’s the right thing to do, and because sometimes you win.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

My world had been getting smaller over the years. Banned from multiple social media. Too dangerous to travel a lot of places as a queer trans person. Physical venues banning my art. All these spaces that I used to go where I can't be anymore.

Hidden servants are not really meant to be seen, nor are they meant to be of a defined, let alone humanoid, shape.... That doesn't stop Nuromai from dressing it up for formal occasions in the clothes he wishes he could wear, though #art

I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

if you’re waiting for everyone around you to wake up, you’ll wait forever. this is how the people grinding our bones to make their bread WANT you to be. paralyzed, alienated & purposeless

Also: Get off your arse and vote. My constituency was won for Labour by 15 votes. A high turnout from the French sorted this. You don't vote? Well, the fash do. If you're replying to this with why it's ideologically impure for a truly left wing person to vote, please just block yourself, I'm tired.

all the culture you liked from decades past was made possible by cheap rent and artists' pay keeping up with what things cost

It's because we all have day jobs, advances are pennies, publishers don't market, one underperforming book tanks your career, and we're expected to be well-tuned brand machines on social media websites designed to suck our souls dry.

be less afraid to create clumsy comics. awkward tangents. amateur lettering. weird sequentials and pacing. You Can Just Make it. you dont need to be trapped in a cycle of perfectionism and imposter syndrome when you could have a finished work instead. print that thing out and staple it!!!

All I want to do is promote my fucking work. Why is this suddenly harder than it's ever been?

Your honor, I have two big hands and a heart pumping blood and a nineteen sixty seven colt forty five with a busted safety catch.

Your honor, my client came down on a lightning bolt, with fire and brimstone coming out of his mouth. He has the voices of many in his throat, and, as you can clearly see, the teeth of a frog and the tail of a goat. Need I say more? Your honor, he drank the water from the fiery sea!

Any articles placing blame on folks being unable to afford a home on anything other than predatory behavior by investors are lies. You absolutely can't avocado toast your way out of this.

A little over a week ago I posted a music video I made to twitter. It was retweeted by surasshu, 1/2 of the duo who wrote the music for Steven Universe, who has over 25,000 followers and gave it absolutely glowing praise. That video is sitting at less than 300 views right now.

Hey, so. I understand that this is anecdotal and not research, but. It is WILD how useless social media has become for promo. It's a fucking disgrace, really.

Bluesky needs to look less like twitter because I keep accidentally posting over there and those audiences don't mix-and-match

reading about clutch cargo and how they used live action mouths for limited animation, and reading the confidence in this statement instantly reminded me of how tech bros are so confident in AI replacing animation

DS9 is the horniest Star Trek (complimentary). Enterprise is the horniest Star Trek (derogatory).
