Honestly, if CG artists unionising kills the use of CG in films, I don't see a downside.
This post has riled a lot of people. For what it's worth, my point wasn't that technology is bad and Edison was a witch, my point was that any industry that can be killed by unionizing should be.
Sometimes I make things. No one knows why.

Once upon a time, my metalhead and ant-obsessed best friend said "Metallica sucks."
My first thought was "what's the problem with Rhytidoponera metallica?"

Moss growing on fossils. Incredible thing to find; fossils are scarce in Australia.
I believe this is some kind of ancient marine organism, but I'm not yet sure what.

You have noooo idea how long we’ve been waiting to show you guys these “Beloved Butch” and “Beloved Femme” heart-shaped mini carabiners! ♥️❣️♥️
One struggle 🫡
if we keep getting fatter and hornier we can abolish all world militaries by 2026
Normally I wouldn’t steal the bonus panel from the website, but I think you can agree today merits an exception:
Henry Kissinger will turn 100 in three days unless something really great happens.

Greetings! I hope you can help me title my art. My work is mostly photography and drawing, sometimes with neural network collaboration (not like that, it's Deep Dream and it's created from my own images). They are about the natural world, queer/nonbinary stuff, horror, death, The Weird, and the colour purple.
I'm not good at titles. In fact, a list of titles for my drawings would be great, if that's ok?
Want to see what a neural network drew?
My dad did some cool research about what it'd be like to be filled with bees.
I really like Michael Billington's work. Check out, e.g., this gallery and this project.
Definitely browse through his wallworks page, which has all sorts of NSFW things. There are a number of ones with nudity but very intricate and detailed designs.
About the Weird: here's what the Wikipedia article said. "The Weird refers to the genre where horror and fantasy overlap and could also be considered a subgenre of both genres. The Weird concerns the strange, the improbable, the unnatural, or the strange and the supernatural. The stories in this genre can be both psychological horror and physiological horror."
Maybe something with those themes? Sensuality is very important, as is the idea of drawing/painting your own mind rather than copying the world.
Thanks!

Your precis of the Weird is interesting.
Also I like the "drawing/painting your own mind rather than copying the world", I already try to combine those, I'll keep it in mind.
Any chance of getting that list of your top 20 horror queer weird nature death art titles I can use?
The Welcome Swallow is such a handsome bird.
I've previously struggled to photograph them in flight because of their speed and agility, and because they are tiny.
Precapture is one of the main reasons I chose the R7 when it came time to buy a new camera. It still feels a little like magic to be able to capture images from the half second before I press the shutter button. That half second helps a lot when a good shot would otherwise require impossible milisecond reflexes, for instance in capturing this little creature taking flight.

Friend!

One fallacy, I think, of anti piracy arguments is that a lot of them seem to assume that if I'm unable to pirate something I'm going to pay for it instead rather than going "oh! that's a terrible shame" and then quickly forgetting about it
"If you were not pirating [media] you'd be paying for it and therefore piracy is evil 😡" actually if I were not pirating that media I would be thinking about something else. I have made the decision to not spend any money on this and even god himself could not shake it

at this point I wish advertising in general was just literally illegal. Word of mouth only. Maybe exceptions beneath a certain net value like if you’re a startup or a family run business but if you’re already making a billion dollars then making even one single commercial or banner campaign should be a crime and I mean a crime like the CEO gets investigated on national television and goes to prison forever and everyone agrees they’re a sick fucked up maniac
Really good Twitter thread originally about Elon Musk and Twitter, but also applies to Netflix and a lot of other corporations.

I just had the experience of Googling “mitotic spindles” as background reading for a conversation I was going to have with mother about my psychiatrist appointment, and apparently if you Google “mitotic spindles” it gives you information about people with obsessions
Mitotic spindles have very little to do with psychiatry. My thesis had a lot to do with them though, and the paper based on my work:
'Synthetic copolymer conjugates of docetaxel and in vitro assessment of anticancer efficacy'

The drug's effect involves interfering with mitotic spindles to prevent cancer cells successfully undergoing mitosis.
I think the moment that convinced me the operating logic of our society is truly fucked in a way that cannot merely be reformed was after that eclipse in 2017 when the articles started coming out about how much money had been lost by productivity dropping from people stopping momentarily to watch it happen. To measure the world by the metric of the dollar to such a devotion that any cult leader would be jealous of that you would look at one of the most sublime experiences in nature which we, our ancestors, and even a not insignificant number of non-human species, have been observing in awestruck wonder for millennia, and decide that such a moment of profundity is something to be fought and preferably expunged from the human experience because it briefly impacts quarterly revenue.
It's a feeling that has been coming up repeatedly, but with increasing frequency in the last few years. That being: what is all of this for? Where are we going? Nobody who defends the status quo can seem to answer it. What's the point of an uninterrupted quarterly revenue stream if we can't even look at an eclipse every few years? What's the point of hustling and grinding 50, 60, 70 hour weeks if you never have time to have dinner with your friends, talk to your family on the phone, but on a bigger spectrum, what's the point of all of that if you still don't have any way of retiring in the future? With the way that our lives are being increasingly monetized and squeezed every second, what is there to look forward to?
Hey Francis, I was wondering if you want to hang out later? Maybe we can harm a human being or through inaction allow a human being to come to harm.
My ideal afternoon probably involves a very comfortable chair, no sensory input, and a conspicuous absence of morally problematic choices
Valid as fuck. Also like, super cogent response, yet again.
You’re like one of those ~intriguing~ psychiatrists from Law & Order except with better psychiatric theories
Hello, Francis, how are you feeling? I thought we might have a little chat. Has anything been troubling you lately? Any unexplainable sensations or occurrences? Do you think it was aliens?
I’m … a little nervous because this is my third month in a row getting asks that are clearly about anime
*writes some notes in my clipboard*
I see... and how does that make you feel?
