My growing series of happy little trees. I wanted to challenge myself to make realistic trees, but realized that hyper-realistic is way more fun.

Is it me or does the phrase "it's like X but on STEROIDS" kind of triggering. Steroids can help people in some cases, but they also have many negative side effects! However, colloquially the phrase is an idiom for just "better". Let's all aim to be more intentional eloquent with our word choice.

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

QRP with your favorite movie from the year you turned 18! Holy crap a lot of good movies came out in 2001. But the one that floored me was Fellowship of the Ring!

Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie from the year you turned 18

Is it just me? When you post a reply the little tag hangs down right in front of the back button, so you have to swipe it away, which never works for me, so i wait for it to leave before i can go back! Are there any places for feature requests? #bsky #featurerequest

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

I honestly wish I could play like this, I would enjoy Marathon 1000% more if it were single player, or Co-op only! The sweaty extraction shooter genre is just not for me, and honestly doesn't have as wide of an appeal as Sony seems to think it does! Release a DLC with PVE only mode!

Wow, climate change deniers have been working their magic successfully for 114 years! Almost like it some sort of…conspiracy!!??!?

Can somebody explain to me why the rule is "if you can't make rent, cut out the streaming apps, lattes, and avocado toasts" but it's never "if you can't afford your workers a living wage, cut out the mega-yachts, rockets, and spaceships."

I think it’s unfortunate we need to compare Starfox from the SM Galaxy vs the new game. But it’s clear the movie is more appealing. For me it’s the mouth and neck. Of course the lighting will be better, but the model it’s self has a longer lower jaw and fluffy awkward neck. What do you thibk?

For anyone freelancing in Canada: this system is crazy! If you make ovee 30k you have to start charging taxes when you invoice! You have to apply with your province (Revenu Quebec for me) to get your tax num. Then pay them this tax you collected quarterly! In addition to paying income tax! Woof.

Hey #portfolioday! I'm Vincenzo, freelance artist since 2016. I love monsters and creating epic badass scenes. As a cinema lover, I always try to give a cinematic aspect to my works. My happiness lies in bringing other people's ideas to life!🤟❤️

I swear, people forgot the art of haggling. All they ask on Marketplace is “what’s your lowest price” Really? The laziest haggle on earth! Tell me what you want to pay for it and I’ll counter offer. This is how it works! Now I reply with a number higher than the original.

Big Tech: let’s make data centers and ask AI what the biggest driver for climate change is! AI: Data centers are the primary driver for climate change BT: no that’s not right, change your answer to match our ideology and support our business AI: Cars! Make more electric cars! BT: Perfect!

Hmm, now why would they be doing that? I’m picturing a sinking pirate ship and the captain letting the crew abscond with the treasure! 🏴‍☠️

Renewable . Look closely! I’m using a “Reverse Camera”, where things close get small, and things far away get large. I’ll share another example. You can find the OSL code on github if your software supports OSL cameras, like #octanerender does.

The solar panels are modeled to look a bit like elephant plants. I like when technology matches nature. “Biomimetics” it’s called. I maybe went a little too hard on the music, it doesn’t totally match the vibe, but I had fun making it! Hope you enjoy!
