A gorgon looks at the viewer. She is dressed in 80s style tweed jacket and has long snake themed earrings. Snakes form a bob like style around her face.

A tiefling walks down a hall of a ruin, torch raised, illuminating a large spider. Surrounded by webbing and spider eggs line the floor and hang from the ceiling.

A mage fearfully looks behind them towards an unseen monster that has them in their clutches.... Damaged hat flys away.

A mage floats above a rocky desert outcrop. Magic swirls around them as they look off into the distance.

I'm Kim, a fantasy illustrator looking for work/commissions. So if you want a banger mage come to me~!

The "AEW fans are chanting fuck ICE" thing that went viral a couple months ago is still going btw

Tweet from Reverend Jordan Wells: "Why So Many Protestants Are Done with the Modern Papacy I respect Catholicism deeply, but this is exactly why so many Protestants have major issues with the current direction of the Vatican. The Pope’s clear liberal political bent is impossible to defend."

This is an incredible tweet.

in my 5th decade of watching MLB and I think this is the first time I can ever remember anyone doing this?

Teams used to just practice with bears.

Literally.

I was watching a YouTube short with a beaver gnawing at a tree and said aloud to myself “remarkable animal.” and my girlfriend heard from the other room and yelled “what did you say?” And I yelled back, “I said ‘remarkable animal’ while watching a video of a beaver”

It's always great to see Samoa Joe's nope spot

😂

So glad it's back.

Anthropic investigates report of rogue access to hack-enabling Mythos AI ‘Handful’ of people allegedly gain unauthorised access to model adept at detecting cybersecurity vulnerabilities

"Rogue actors have breached the Mythos protocols, potentially giving them access to all the world's software vulnerabilities" is the kind of problem that by all rights should be solved by Tom Cruise sprinting through an airport

they should preserve the brains of the "voted for trump 3 times, now wants to throw him in the brazen bull" republicans for scientific study

what if i fucking kill you

the mets are finding themselves in a pretty deep hole right now. no, i don't mean the losing streak. i mean i have kidnapped their starting lineup and they are waking up right now in my basement

misidentified Netflix descriptor screen: text says "tidying up with Marie Kondo" and photo is a person with an assault rifle in the desert

seriously, get rid of your crap

Just gonna leave this here

I will say, this war has really exposed a failure among both political and senior military leadership to identify where military power comes from.

'We destroyed their air force and navy' - who cares!?

That's not where Iran derives its military power from and hasn't been for a while!

Man there is no easier way to get a bunch of credulous articles written about you than to be a complete psycho conservative who temporarily expresses distaste for your erstwhile hero Donald Trump

Holy shit. The FBI raided this woman's house with a helicopter based on the word of a "gait analysis" quack they found on X.

This is one of the best pieces of pop culture writing I've read in the past couple of years. These excerpts are great but you need to read how the build to that last one. Goddamn. Thank you @awalrusdarkly.bsky.social and @popheist.com

they are calling it the perfect summary of the "keep men out of women's sports" movement

Screenshot of FF7 for PS1. Barret's text box reads: People say they love milfs yet look how they treat the original milf (mother earth)

Thanks Barret ur right 🌍

you're going to need more than two space marines tho

Irma lusting.

New TMNT incarnations need to bring back April’s horny friend Irma.

Y'know, if Football Manager is going to continuously give us regens who look like melted candles, they really need to give us a rudimentary picture editor feature.

Let me at least scroll through 10 haircuts and like 5 facial options. OOTP is more functional than FM. OOTP!

staying in a fancy hotel for a few days is nice but nothing hits like returning to your shitty little apartment where all your garbage ass crap is

I do think with LLMs automating slop making it increasingly difficult to differentiate bot-generated vs. human-generated text, we should institute my system of "5 cents per post." Not that expensive but also not that cheap. Make you think twice before posting.

I'm not a "Get off Twitter" person myself, but I keep on telling the people I know who are, the owner is putting his whole goddamn arm on the scale and I don't know how you continue to tolerate swimming in that water.

Overall social media use is also declining.

Between 2020 and 2024, more Americans — especially the youngest (18–24) and oldest (65+) — report using no social media at all.

A small group of heavy users remains, but the middle is thinning out.

📉 Visiting and posting on X and Facebook has collapsed: nearly 50% drop!

On X, it is mostly Democrats who have become inactive.

Many still occasionally log on, but rarely and quietly.

Is social media dying? How much did Twitter change as it became X? Which party now dominates the conversation?

Using nationally representative ANES data from 2020 & 2024, I map how the U.S. social media landscape has changed

Here are the key take-aways 🧵
