Okay, this is hands-down the best power sword effect I've ever done.

A little under 20 years ago, I was telling @greatestape.bsky.social that the US Naval Academy's first year ends w/ a bunch of bare chested muscular young men climbing a greased up obelisk, and he said, "The question isn't why the US military forbids gay people, it's why they allow straight people."

The cover of Atlas Shrugged, but instead the title reads, "Atlas Needs You to Spot Him Like 20 Billion Dollars."

Somehow I don't think that ProQuest's AI is quite ready for prime time...
An article on penance an the Inquisition in Languedoc that has an AI-generated list of "related articles." These related articles have to do with financial accounting and monetary fines in modern times.

I was idly scrolling Reddit and the algorithm shoved this into my face, and I both sort of want to understand it,but also get angered by it.
An image of a woman of the Catachan jungle fighters from the Warhammer 40,000 setting. But because it's Fan Art, said Catachan has extremely large beasts and... bare feet.

Lamenter done.
It's late and I'm tired. Please check my previous alt text. Just note that it's a Deathwatch Space Marine mini. It's late and I'm tired. Please check my previous alt text. Just note that it's a Deathwatch Space Marine mini with a freehand of a Lamenter pauldron.

One of my Deathwatch Astartes is a Lamenter.

This is why I love Fehervari's treatment of the Tau. Just consistent horror at people, Chaos, and Genestealers.
Selection from Fire Caste by Peter Fehervari: He found the ambassador halfway down the access corridor. The ancient tau was breathing in ragged gasps as he pulled himself along, dragging his spindly legs behind him like dead things. He looked up in abject terror when the colonel loomed over him. ‘Now where do you think you’re going, Si?’ Cutler chided. ‘I was wrong,’ the tau whispered, staring at the severed head hanging from the colonel’s belt. ‘We cannot work in concord. Your species is sick.’ 'Well, I won’t argue it.’ Cutler bent painfully and heaved his quarry up and over his shoulders. ‘But you and me, we’re going to see this through together.’

@cartoonshateher.bsky.social 's take on people who talk about sex on Reddit remains undefeated:
Two pictures side by side. On is a couple that's stereotypically "hot," with the man in a robe and the woman in lingerie with the caption: Who you think is posting about their kinky threesome on Reddit. To the right is a couple that's stereotypically nerdy, the woman slightly overweight with purple hair holding a cat and wearing a "nerdy" skirt, while the man is bearded and wearing a top hat with steampunk goggles on it. The image on the right has the caption: Who is actually posting about their kinky threesome on Reddit.

I am... not fond of the return of Men Should Not Talk About Feelings to Their Wives and Girlfriends, but feministly.
Headline reading, "Why Women Are Weary of the Emotional Labor of 'Mankeeping': As male social circles shrink, female partners say they have to meet more social and emotional needs.'

On the one hand, every loss of a human life made in God's image diminishes all mankind. On the other hand, this is the most Florida Man possible way to go out:
Public attention is attracted to spectacular crashes -- such as the one that ended 46-year-old Clivet Romero's life. He zigged and zagged his Maserati around cars stopped at the tracks in Oakland Park and sped around a gate. The Brightline impact flung his body into a flashing light signal, and he was sliced in half. His car exploded into a fireball.

Not my best, but it's my first ever chapter freehand, and it's Angels Resplendent.

*Taps mic*

When the Federalist Society does something terrible, taking to left-wing social media to declare SCOTUS illegitimate gives off vibes of:

I mean, lots of us were... drastically wrong about the trajectory of society in the Obama years, but I keep thinking of how absolutely wrong this one turned out to be in terms of what ubiquitous smart phones would do to belief in the paranormal.

Link: xkcd.com/1235/
XKCD comic. It's a graph whose X-axis is years and whose Y-axis is percentage. The label says, "Percentage of the US population carrying cameras everywhere they go, every waking moment of their lives." As the years progress, the percentage approaches 100%. Underneath it is a label that says, "In the last few years, with very little fanfare, we've conclusively settled the questions of flying saucers, lake monsters, ghosts, and bigfoot."
