obvs the most important key here is that every time someone with "onald" in their name gains power in the Merkin Hegemony the world becomes a markedly worse place

Super Mario World has an extremely eclectic art style whereby many enemies are drawn in completely different ways. Development files reveal Mario went through many stylistic changes; it is possible that all the enemies were made to fit Mario, but at different points in time.

and there we have it

when i see an ernie bushmiller 'nancy' comic featuring aunt fritzi or any other young lady, drawn with an eye for women's fashion rather than the male gaze, im reminded of that devastating hisashi eguchi quote

https://deer.social/pr... i was not expecting him to refer to That

and the way he did, made this my favourite sermon about That in all the sermons about That that i've heard from a sample set covering 2000 years

"biological pronouns"

we as a civilization need to understand that, inasmuch as law could possibly have any legitimacy outside of mere raw threat of violence on the exact same level as an armed robber, everything coming out of SCOTUS should be treated as equal to a sovereign citizen document

my commissions are still open if anyone is interested btw 👀 some art I have made before is on my profile ...

Libraries matter. Access matters.

After years of legal battles, the Internet Archive is still here—and still fighting for a world where everyone can read, learn, and remember.

rockstar is the south park of video games and that is extremely not a compliment

Today, I've gotten to the point where I think it's sufficient to make a first release of my protomojis! I have made 110 unique expressions for 3 bases, making for a total of 330 emoji! Perfect for more custom emojis on fedi or whatever else you might want them for. This was the other thing I wanted to release today btw

On the bus rn and there's a lady watching the Simpsons on full blast no headphones, and every time there's a fun joke she turns over to her husband(?) and goes like ”look at what bart said :0"

Hey, Anthropic owes me $9000! They illegally used at least 3 of my books on LibGen to create Claude. Now they're paying a $1.5 billion settlement, at $3000 per book. See if *your* books are on the list:

https://www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/

If so, you have until March 23, 2026 to file a claim. The above website lets you file a claim, but this one explains everything more clearly:

Actually I exaggerated: the payment will be split between authors and publishers - so the settlement is making me do some work my publisher should be doing for me. My coauthors and I will just get half, $4500. One of these books has 2 coauthors, one has 3, and one is a book I edited, with essays by lots of authors. So $1000 is a more realistic estimate of what I get. Oh well.

Bizarrely, my most popular book, Gauge Fields, Knots and Gravity, is not on the list. But I guess it's not surprising:

"The settlement agreement discloses that approximately 500,000 titles out of the 7 million copies of books that Anthropic reportedly downloaded from LibGen and PiLiMi meet the definition required to be part of the class."

I don't know what that definition is, and why it excludes most of the books.

fixed that for you
