It's just occurred to me that perhaps one purpose of data centres springing up all over the planet is specifically as an electricity soak to nullify the green energy gains we've made and drive us to remain reliant on fossil fuels because rich men saw the writing on the wall.

The instagram ecology is becoming noticably uglier lately. I'm seeing more hate speech, more bigotry, more toxicity. I'm curious whether it's because they fired people who previously would have policed that, loosened their rules, or are actively propagandising their patrons.

And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.

Stop telling the internet everything about you. Stop telling it your grandmothers maiden name and the street you grew up on and your pets name and your favourite meal and showing it what you looked like at every stage of life. You're helping AI build a complex profile of you.

I absolutely adore these conservative christian dipshits insisting every UFO video obviously isn't a space craft or an extraterrestrial, it is of course, in their estimation, a fallen angel or a demon. There's a whole magical rainbow of ignorance I never imagined.

Somehow my TL is all people mourning dead cats and furries wishing they had someone to pet them, and nobody is putting 2 and 2 together.

Finally watched Frieren and honestly don't get the hype. Maybe I just don't care for the fantasy genre. Only thing I liked about it is that she always falls for mimic chests. It's clearly well made but just wasn't compelling.

I can't be the only guy who's taken my phone out with my spare hand while peeing and almost accidentally posted my garbage to an insta reel

I normally draw cars but I got it into my head that I wanted to draw Rhea Ripley and after failing to come up with a justification for a vehicle to add I just went ahead and drew her alone. Let's say her arms are her vehicle.

about 2 weeks from now I'll be setting up my booth at a new event in the outer east of Melbourne panicking about whether a crowd is going to show up!

Hey artists of bluesky who table at comic cons, what size prints are most popular and why? I've only been in the game a couple of years and so far I've only offered A3 prints but I have a feeling the market wants smaller stuff that's cheaper and easier to carry with them. Does this seem true?

Dan Da Dan's first season theme song might is my favourite anime theme right now. #dandadan #okarun #anime #seikoayase #gilf #creepynuts

Poster I spent about a month doing for a series of geek culture expos in ACT and NSW this year. Loved working on it. I wish I could just do sick posters all the time. #geekmarket #geekexpo #supergirl #dandadan #astroboy #lastronin #transformers #beetlejuice #MOTU #startrek

AI has made it pointless to be impressive. Look at any video of something remarkable on insta now and all the comments are people asking if it's AI or straight up assuming it is. AI has made it unworth becoming exceptional at anything.

The cool thing about the Alien xenomorph is how detailed Giger made it's reproductive cycle, but how does that new eyeball octopus breed? Does it possess a host and then just breed the host species? Do two eyeballs throw creepy glances at each other across a bar and go have tentacle sex? #alienearth

I wonder where all the VHS porn tapes are now. For about 20 years humanity produced billions of them. Where did they go? Landfill? Private collections? Is there an insane warehouse somewhere housing them all?

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Can anyone tell me where to get woven iron-on patches made? I want a new merch line and suddenly I'm all excited about battlejackets, but I need a level of detail that regular embroidery isn't going to reach. #embroidery #patches

My daughter ordered a hard to find Front Bottoms record on vinyl, it travelled halfway around the planet, and arrived today with a sticker on it saying "Released from biosecurity, nothing suspicious found" with a boxcutter slice through the package, the record sleeve, and the record. Destroyed. 🤬
