A mere atom of Ag in Jupiter's Red Spot, but it is funny how the Trump kids think they'll have any sway after dad dies.

Oh no this is appallingly correct
Bet you a million pounds this is because they’ve watched too much Sci-fi where every thing instantly freezes in vacuum and they think that’ll solve cooling.

Never give in to TERFs, they'll never be happy and they'll never stop pushing things further right.
Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.
Note how these awful people are getting exactly the exclusions of children that they demanded and *that still isn’t enough for them*: they demand everyone be delighted about it and kiss their arses for being brilliant.

Answering @funranium.bsky.social @aotearoabadger.bsky.social and @atherton.bsky.social, AI slop is Tzeentch, endless falsity tormenting you with the knowledge that truth was taken and twisted to make this mess, and the curse of making you doubt all you see forever whether it's from TzAIntch or not.

LAVENDER JACK HARDCOPY! I went from knowing this existed to pre-ordering in 20 seconds, because the webcomic is brilliant and I want to own it and I want my kid to find it and start reading it too

watching A Chinese Ghost Story, made in 1987 with A Bit of Cash the director was able to get, and the practical effects are still gloriously, magnificently better than endless CGI. Not even AI, but those oceans of endlessly bland CGI before that.

I remember when those "how to draw anime" books were hilariously worse than the vast majority of anime you'd see advertised, but that's no longer true, and the books haven't gotten better.

There's a new Predator movie out so it's as good a time as any to say that, if I was given the opportunity to add an addition to any franchise, I'd have the Predator land in Glasgow in the 80s during an Old Firm fixture.
