Just FYI, saying that God even *needs* saving is heresy, and saying *you* are the one saving Him is the Deadly Sin of Pride, which is recognized as the most damning sin, and the one that led to Satan's banishment from Heaven.

But hey, none of them know the most basic thing about Christianity.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

Hello, #PortfolioDay! I'm Claudio, illustrator from Brazil. I've done art for D&D, Magic, Witcher, Marvel, Cyberpunk Red, Star Wars, and more. I dream of doing MotU art, and I'm trying to do more books/comics covers. I also do private commissions, so let's do art together!

Hey, remember when the US government accused a Brazilian Supreme Court justice of infringing on Americans' freedom of speech and slapped him with the Magnitsky Law? Like, two months ago?

Chicago Sun-Times @chicago.suntimes.com · 16h

At the request of the U.S. Department of Justice, a Facebook group used by nearly 80,000 people to report sightings of federal immigration agents in the Chicago area has been taken down by the social media giant Meta, Facebook’s parent company.

Facebook suspends popular Chicago ICE-sightings group at Trump administration’s request

The group, "ICE Sighting-Chicagoland," has been increasingly used in the last five weeks of President Donald Trump’s intense deportation campaign to warn neighbors that federal agents are nearby.

Did someone say "armor"?

Painting of Kansaldi Fire-Eyes, a Dragon Highlord in the D&D setting of Dragonlance. She has short white hair, a serious demeanos, and a red gem in place of her left eye. She is wearing black full plate armor with gold trim and is holding a metal spear with a red banner.

"Legendary" and "Master" are words too often thrown around. But in Drew Struzan's case, even such accolades fall short of the man's body of work.

R.I.P., sir.

#TTRPG #TTRPGs #TTRPGSky I commissioned Claudio to create both cover and interior illustrations for the #ShadowlightAndPersonaeRPG Core Guide, Basic Game and promotional materials!

Two humans, one masc presenting and one femme presenting, the former taller than the other. Their backs are to the camera, opening a door which they're looking into radiating white light out and onto their faces. Surrounding the door are windows and other doors looking out into distant vistas: perhaps one with a hooded and robed man, one a cold moonlight mountain range, one of space and a spaceship, one of a bizarre tentacled creature, and one of a television screen and a cartoon character.

A woman explorer, Nya Melko, dressed in practical clothes. She's holding up a lantern while exploring some abandoned ruins, lantern in left hand and bullwhip in the right.

A dwarf, Grioghr Rafsmussen. Dressed in black leathers with a determined expression on his face, he's carrying manacles in one hand and a short sword in the right. He's hiding in an alley, watching and listening an illicit encounter between a robed individual carrying a curved dagger, and someone just out of sight.

An anthro species appearing to be a bilaterally symmetrical insectoid, dressed in an orange and white jumpsuit. They're on a starship or space station, working on the inner mechanisms of a disembodied android or robot head.

This was also they playbook for Bozonaro's attempted coup, with the additional plpt of assassinating Lula, his VP Alckmin, and the head of the Electoral Court Xandão. He was hoping for unrest so the military would take over and keep him as a figurehead.

This isn't new, by the way. Trump and his minions wanted an "antifa" Black Bloc to show up and fight with cops on Jan. 6, 2021. If that had happened, he would have then called out the National Guard to a) arrest leftists and b) shut down the Capitol and prevent the election from being certified

Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com · 23h

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

Every day is the best day to turn off LLMs and prosecute LLM peddlers for fraudulent products.

Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 3d

What you're getting from an LLM is a statistical approximation of what the answer would be to a statistical approximation of the question.

This is why prompt engineering is fake. The prompt (and any input data) is just a suggestion - and helps fool you into thinking that your question was answered.

this is by far the worst reading of Alan Moore’s Watchmen I’ve ever seen and if you spend an appreciable amount of time online you will know what a crowning achievement that is

Sharon @sharonk.bsky.social · 2d

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

Still blowing my mind that the person who earns royalties from the microtransactions in a Harry Potter themed slot machine app accused me of grifting for having a Patreon which doesn't cover the costs of hosting the sites it's for.

Despite billionaires accusing me of grifting, the Opium Tea / Terfipedia joint Patreon makes $8 a month and as a result opiumtea.com is currently offline with terfipedia.com likely to follow.
