IN A WORLD OF HER OWN (2016) Acrylic on Canvas - 36" x 48" This painting arose from musing on an interview that Stanley Kubrick gave in 1968, a source of inspiration I have gone back to over the years, revisiting comments made by the director. #art

BlueSky has five kinds of users.

Lying in bed, trying to listen to the rain through the open window, and it is difficult with the sound of a jet flying over every ninety seconds. The downside of living under the flight path of planes on approach to a busy airport.

Why do we persist in making games despite weeks like this one? This:

ALASKA GEORGIA IOWA MICHIGAN NORTH CAROLINA OHIO TEXAS If you’re in one of these states, you’ve got an extra important role to play to protect the results of the midterms.

Saw Wildwood today, the newest by Laika Studios. It did not disappoint; Laika just keeps getting better with each production. Gorgeous, gorgeous movie.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

Casting a net of questionable size here, if you’re an ex-BioWare dev (or know of one who may not see this) working on something cool you’d like featured in a roundup at Kotaku, drop it below. Store page links helpful, and let me know what your role was at BW. Projects big and small welcome! RTs plz!

Fellow WA voters, let's bury this. I can't imagine any parent wants to subject their child to this vile "examination."

I'll be honest, there is nothing more demoralizing to me than devs saying "I know AI is built on theft, and anti-labour, and harms the environment, but I'm going to use it anyway bc I don't believe individual choices matter". This is how a movement fails. www.molleindustria.org/blog/future-...

CACOPHONY (1992) Mixed Media - 24" x 24" I had a good relationship with Sepulture after their Beneath the Remains and Arise releases. When they sent a sample of “Refuse/Resist”—which I loved—I was eager to be part of the project for Chaos A.D. #horror #art

The French trashed the McDonalds, looted the Apple Store and Luis Vuitton's hand bags. All run by global billionaires. But they left the French Chicken shop untouched.

The only movie I've ever seen on a first date was Waterworld. There was no second date.

Here's how to build a wardrobe that lasts 10+ years. 🧵

The Last Jedi, For Tax Purposes

any interest I could have in AI as something cool (I have been on computer since the 80s, online since the 90s) has been swiftly eclipsed by its corporate purveyors’ strip mining of what I love (writing, reading) and how I love to do it (good labor conditions for all)

OUTLOOK (2025) Acrylic on Canvas - 12” x 9” 

All of my Lumen paintings feature a figure struggling to reach the light, against seemingly overwhelming travails. In OUTLOOK we see the moment of breakthrough and discovery, a daunting obstacle overcome. #art

interesting how there seems to be a trend lately in movies about a woman who, like, makes a golem out of mashed potatoes or whatever, and he's still kinder and more fuckable than any human man she knows. wonder what that's all about..........................

My partner for a few years was from Wisconsin, and through her I learned of the fearsome north woods cryptid the Hodag. Now no laptop of mine feels complete if it doesn't have a Hodag sticker on it. 😄

I figured the supposed bot traffic decrease after the Ukrainian strikes on Russian data centers was not the goal of the strikes, but hadn't seen anything pointing to what the actual goal was until this: arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...

"AI gives the poor access to skills that used to cost money to access, so shaming and criticizing them for using it is a form of privilege" is certainly A Take that I have now seen.

Good morning 🪶

Its the first night of Navratri, the 9 day festival celebrating the life cycle of the Mother Goddess, and of women in general. May Ma Shailaputri, the daughter of the mountains, bless you with strength and tenacity throughout the challenges of your life.

We are soon going to have to come to grips with the fact that this shit is asbestos for the mind

My man looks like someone with face blindness made a mannequin with Play-Doh

Put in an order for Tarrant's Realm, the cover to Black Sun Rising. I love the series, and there's a nostalgia angle for me: back in my LARPing days about half my friends were in the Barony of Marentha, which is a Coldfire series reference.

Just a reminder that we're offering 30% off prints of Michael's covers for Isaac Asimov and Ray Bradbury. The sale runs until Sunday (10/11) at midnight. These are all printed in studio and hand signed by the man himself. Gorgeous prints of unforgettable SF art. 🤩 ~ME

You’re right. He’s a fascist. But the conservative movement gives cover, AS IT ALWAYS HAS, to fascists because they share the same social goals. It bypasses the cognitive filters in your brain and leads you to in-group identify with fascists. It’s deliberate.

THE END OF NATURE II (1998) Acrylic on Canvas - 30” X 48” The second in a series of paintings about our relationship with nature. All the figures are supported by nature, but the support is eroding and in danger of giving way completely if we don't pay attention and nurture it. #art

Wait, I have *three* sons?

I'm increasingly frustrated that people who are anti-AI aren't being taken seriously, and taking a page out of my thoughts on why the anti-trans backlash got as far as it did I'm starting to think the anti-AI side isn't extreme enough.

Getting all of my tech set up after a move is always the thing that makes me feel like I'm really 'home'.

I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

TWO WORLDS (1985)
 Oil on canvas - 36” x 22” 

During one of the Ethiopian famines, I came across a magazine photo of a desert filled with a multitude of crude burial mounds extending off to the horizon. I was struck by the implications of the image... #art #booksky 🪐📚

If you're in these states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Arizona, Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas. Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check! And there's a lot happening across them. A thread with stakes on each. ⬇️

DELIRIUM’S MISTRESS (1985) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 30” x 22” Tanith Lee was such a visual writer of fantasy. She gave the artist an inspiring painting concept on nearly every page, offering an inexhaustible supply of fascinating ideas. #bookssky #art 🪐📚
