Annatar, Lord of Gifts
I've been playing around a lot with different digital art styles lately and it's pretty fun, I'm also learning more techniques while doing so and that's always good, this one took me about 9 hours according to ibis paint
de going off the shits with writing like yes, the theme of cosmic horror is that the entity is indifferent to our plights but also the entire quest is a giant depressing pun revolving around the quote, "the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference"
the vast indifference eating away at loid's memory of albrecht and his lab! loid assumed the entire time that albrecht straight up didn't care about him, and that hurt loid so he (or rather his emotions, via wally manipulating the vessel) lashed out in hate BECAUSE he loved albrecht...
and on top of this, the implication that not even wally himself is actually indifferent. that he's upset at us because we turned our back on him, and he didn't know how to react to this. but like witw, like the new war, and like the sacrifice, "it was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly broken thing… and take away its pain"
Little Bengel really, truly, *emphatically* fucked up something fierce, didn't he?
Three butch friends of mine finishing the basement of my first house around 1996. They worked for beer, and not even anything fancy.

This is my son Magnus he has every disease. Collected art of my Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden PC now that i started the campaign properly.
I've been watching Frieren lately, and after listening to the OP(Yūsha/The Brave by Yoasobi) many times, I realised that this song suits Maglor and Daeron very well (I don't know if they have a ship name besides Daemags in the English-speaking community, but in China we call them "失联组", which means "missing people")
So I drew a little doodle video for them with this song, hope you like it!
There are still a lot of flaws in this work. I might finish it later if I get a chance

It’s got me in a chokehold
ALRIGHT i consulted the Super Nerds about the validity of this (note: i wanted this to be true, i didnt want to disprove it, i wanted to prove it)
This comes from "Harlan Ellison's The city on the edge of forever : the original teleplay that became the classic Star trek episode"
From my friends: Ellison wrote the original version; it sounds like that passage was in it. Roddenberry changed a lot of things in the original script and Ellison refused to work with him after that.
Here's a link to the source on the internet archive (page 221)

Yep. It also correlates extremely strongly with an increasing decrease of violent crime. One of the symptoms of low level constant lead exposure is increased aggression and volatility.
“Unknown scientist”? That was Clair Cameron Patterson.
Gas companies are still so mad at him he’s “unknown scientist”, know his name
Daily reminder that health and safety standards like these are what politicians mean when they talk about “deregulation.”
Patterson died 5 December 1995.
Petition to make his date of death a Tumblr holiday celebrated by talking about cool shit the gas and petroleum industries don’t want us to know about, and fighting to continue his work.
Merry CCP Day!
“Being able to write a good review is a unique and difficult skill. Creative people often have trouble recognizing their skills as skills because eventually they’ll feel like second nature and they don’t feel real and practical like building a house or domming. But it turns in that this stuff actually is valuable. If it wasn’t, people wouldn’t be stealing it! Creativity doesn’t feel super special or unique, until you realize people have to plagiarize it.”
I can’t stop thinking about this^ specifically watch hbomberguy’s video it’s phenomenal
there’s a lot of villain archetypes that i find interesting, but truly none of them will ever be as compelling to me as the white haired cunty grandpa villain
who serves like them.
oops! it seems i tripped and dropped several million free books, papers, and other resources

Back when you had six seconds to be creative af with minimal editing
had a minor crisis when 12ft.io went down yesterday and thankfully it's back now but this seems like a good opportunity to compile a list of similar paywall-evading tools in case 12ft ever gets canned for real:
- 12ft.io: the legend himself. definitely my favorite of the bunch by virtue of being the easiest to use (and the easiest url to remember), but it's configured to disable paywall evasion for a handful of popular sites like the new york times, so you'll have to go elsewhere for those.
- printfriendly: works great; never had any issues with removing paywalls, even on domains that don't work with 12ft.io. since this site is literally designed to make sites print-friendly, it might simplify the overall formatting of the page you're trying to access, which can be a good or bad thing. my only real issue is that the "element zapper" (which lets you remove content blocks from the print-friendly preview) is a little sensitive if you're browsing on a touchscreen device, which means you might accidentally delete a paragraph when you're just trying to scroll. but if that happens you can reload the page and it'll revert everything back to its original state.
- fifteen feet: basically a 12ft clone, minus 12ft's restrictions. haven't used it much since I only discovered it yesterday in the wake of 12ft's 451 error but it seems to do the trick.
- archive.today: an archival tool very similar to the wayback machine, but it also works as a de facto paywall removal tool. (the wayback machine seems to remove paywalls as well, but archive.today has better UX imo and is way faster to use.)
- and an honorable mention for sci-hub: only works for scientific/academic journals, not random news articles, but the other sites listed above only work for random news articles and not academic publications so you gotta have this one in your toolbelt for full coverage. pubmed is your oyster.

having cash is like having secret money. like whos gonna find out i’m buying tacos with this crisp $20 bill??? not my bank account, that’s for sure
That’s literally why the government wants to stop it
Defend cash. The existence of a cash economy is so so necessary for the survival of every population that the government wants to kill. Homeless people, sex workers, undocumented people, addicts. They all need cash to survive.
