Just had the idea in my head and had to get it down and out. It's a bit messy in places, but i do like the effect and yes, Optimus Prime sacrificing his life for computer games characters is absolutely on brand and makes perfect sense. An absolute classic story. #transformers #maccadam

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

Every character was stood in the exact same place at practically the same angle and shot in the same way, nothing was memorable.

That's the "power of AI", doing a job far worse than a team of human artists could.

Just watched The Substance. I just had to know how far it went. And. Yeah. Holy *shit*. But also that was just a really fantastic movie! Had a lot to say. Not subtle at all but I love that about it.

Also even before the VFX it's the grossest movie I have ever seen. Both visually and audio.

you can put on literally any episode of the first 10 years of the simpsons and get a back to back run of some of the most foundational comedy of the 21st century and now it's "what if you paid $10 to make marge vegeta"

The funniest part is when the blue sky team announced something dumb and the entire community's reaction en masse is that it's dumb and bluesky just pretends like it's not seeing any of that until one of the team members has a crashout from the stress of pretending to be eternally correct

Sometimes i get sad at those “I wanted to look up what kind of horse pulled medieval wagons It’s three hours later and playtex bra sewers made spacesuits i have a problem” no. No, you don’t. Hydrate and get back in there
I strongly recommend everyone do research sometimes 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘯.

Look something up on Wikipedia. Go to the little citation. Follow it. Read the article it's referencing. Follow links to the original interview. Read the paper written by the interviewee

It genuinely makes you appreciate journalism

Big ol' Warhammer (fanart!) poster I did for the Apothecarion charity event. This was a massive undertaking for mw, it's the most complex thing I've ever done and the first piece of (semi) personal art I've completed in about 10 years.

The big news in the Netherlands at the moment is peary ridiculous: turns out trains and pears do not P2P well. Luckily most people made it out with pearily a scratch, but it was not a fruitful delivery. Or pearhaps it was.
