I am pleased as punch to reveal this podcast I've been working on!
"The Art Of Divination" will explore all sorts of divination techniques, discussing their histories and offering useful tips to anyone interested in starting their own divination journeys!
Be warned tho - I don't do "the voice".
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
And just in case it needs to be said:
This kinda talk leans on the premise that all races are like teams whose accomplishments transfer to every member.
RFK Jr's implying that (a) whites are all Nobel laureate novelists by proxy, and (b) that makes them more valuable than non-whites.
False, obvz.
Yeah, Cyberpunk 2077 is great, but have you ever just tried Photo Mode at weird times to see if it still works?
This incidentally is how I found out they disable Photo Mode during the last part of "The Passion" mission. If you know, you know.
Also, ever since they added that Smart Glass feature, I always make sure to get at least one photo with Jackie.
Here's my latest V. I'm using him to explore a Body/Reflexes build specializing in fists & throwing knives, so naturally I modeled him on Seanbaby.
I'm not saying modern tech is a bit on the fucky side, but I had to reinstall Google Chrome to redeem a reward I got from Microsoft Points, because the redeem site's security didn't work on Edge.
I wouldn't have bothered except that's literally the troubleshooting the site recommended.
The best part is, when you open the Chrome site, an in-program prompt comes up & is like "Ackshually Edge has all the same tech as Chrome so you don't need this" and I'm like "THAT'S NOT WHAT YOUR REWARDS REDEMPTION PARTNER SAID, M'CHOOM"
I'm really starting to enjoy these because it's really hard to add "in bed" to a Polymarket ad in a way that doesn't just put you off your succulent Chinese dinner.

Mati has chosen to be drawn as a fish, which is a kind of monster if you're scared of the ocean I suppose.
We're one week away from Halloween! Get yours while the offering is still being offered!
Looking to shore up some new funding snags, so I'm bringing back an old tradition - my October MONSTER FACES commissions!
There's a hard limit on the number of slots available, so if you want one of your very own, act fast!
Just watched this video and I have a number of complicated thoughts about F.A.T.A.L.
This will be a thread, and I should warn in advance that it will likely require a CW/TW for SA and general nasty sex stuff.
So click "View full thread" if you dare, and let's get into it:
It doesn't come up often but one advantage of being in a polycule is that if you ever get kidnapped by local thugs, your kung-fu rescue is now multiplayer co-op.

Knock on my door. I answer it.
"Hi, we're missionaries from the Latter Day Saints."
"...Warren Jeff's people?"
"Uh..."
"Yeah, not interested." SLAM
*feebly, from behind door.* "We'll pray for you."
"DON'T."
"Basic human rights" is one thing.
Less than 100% of one thing is 0%.
You're expecting the suffering to vote for nothing.
Sorry... to vote for nothing now & a statistical probability of something in 1d6 generations, if (and ONLY if) the country passes every Save vs Fascism check between now & then.
Put a less nerdy way, this presumes some human lives & their rights are an acceptable loss.
I submit that if the loss really was acceptable, y'all wouldn't be trying to mitigate it.
Also, they know their vote will be read as consent, which the marginalized shouldn't have to give under duress.
Transfolx, immigrants, & other marginalized groups've already been through hell.
In a no-win scenario, the only way their lives get worse if y'all lose, is you'll be in hell next to 'em, making the same complaints but louder.
So maybe swallow that pride, ask properly, & make your own compromises.

If you've ever argued against Dark Souls being easier, then you should recognize support of AI as the hypocrisy of a casual.
Yes, artists & programmers do a lot of swearing.
Yes, parts of the process are tedious.
Yes, they fail, repeatedly.
That is how they GIT GUD.
Imagine if beating Dark Souls with a suboptimal build produced an ACTUAL accomplishment, not just a sense of one. Imagine if those accomplishments were being validated well outside a circlejerk of dim flippant try-hards.
That's what makes the frustration, grind, and tedium of human arts worth it.
Salvador Dali was originally commissioned to make the tarot cards for Live & Let Die. They only wanted art for like a half dozen cards but he insisted on doing a full deck.
They didn't have the time or money for that, so they went with a different artist & he just made a full set of tarot cards.
We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting?
For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.
I was gifted a copy of the Dali deck by Dr. Jeremy Weiss at the Temple of Miriam. Dali self-inserted as the Magician & made his wife the High Priestess.
He also made Julius Ceasar the 10 of Swords, which I just love.
I drew this portrait a long time ago but haven't been able to deliver it to the client.
Be sure to save & share this with the bootlicking clown if you see them.

My fitness goals:
- Fitness kilt & t-shirt
- Fitness stylus in my hand
- Fitness delicious food in my mouth
- Fitness new tarot deck into my tarot shelf
- Fitness music track to the provided footage
- Fitness 12th play of CP2077 into my schedule
My body does all this, so... goals achieved.
I also feel like Hemsworth didn't sign off on being a body standards cudgel.
I'm reminded of that time Drew Carey went off on one in his autobiography about the Enquirer attributing some weight-loss recipes to him. He never even did an interview with them.
This is probably another example of that.
Incidentally, Drew Carey's "Dirty Jokes & Beer" was a fun read. He used his autobiography as a way to get some of his short stories published. It's also how I found out his nipples are pierced.

Kiddo asked me to build this helmet for their Halloween costume. They say it's a character from a Roblox game, but I say it's Jamiroquai asking for more dakka.
Kiddo asked me to build this helmet for their Halloween costume. They say it's a character from a Roblox game, but I say it's Jamiroquai asking for more dakka.
I built it using a thrift store toy helmet, dollar store duct tape, and cardboard, then added two layers of primer. They painted most of the helmet (I designed a decal for the ska stripe) and then I coated the whole shebang in Mod Podge.
I swear I didn't alter this. The auto-generated captions did it.
Also for anyone taking this seriously, ask him when Mexico's cutting us a check for that wall he totally finished.
"As part of our vocational training, our intern pool is staffed entirely by early 2000s shooter support characters."
*sounds of things breaking, punctuated every 3 seconds by someone yelling AND I WAS JUST STARING TO HAVE FUN"
Me going through one of those Valpak coupon envelopes:
- Local pizzeria BOGO coupon
- Aluminum siding flyer
- Insurance ad shaped like a fake check
- Pet clinic flyer
- Share of SpaceX
"Thanks Elon, you just cancelled out the free pizza. NOW the Valpak is officially worthless."
This week's episode: "How The Zodiac Became Your Horoscope"
In which I wade into the great debate of whether or not astrology is valid. WARNING: I'm probably not taking the side you'd think I would!
