The worst thing about aging is that I’m the only one it’s happening to. It’s not fair.
Oh damn

interesting that when a movie with female protagonists does poorly the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists and when a movie with female protagonists is a huge hit the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists
Two panel comic. Panel 1: a digital kiosk at the entrance of a parking garage with a dispensed ticket. The screen display reads: PLEASE TAKE TICKET BELOW. Panel 2: a T-Rex is sticking its little arm out the window of its partially opened car door, trying to reach the ticket.
A beautiful black and white drawing of Duna, protagonist of my novel "The Dead Man's Empire", a haunted young woman with short blond hair, dressed in the gambeson of a soldier. Behind her is the blade-priest Elecy, a tall and intimidating young woman with a shaved head, and carrying a ferocious curved sickle. The drawing is by garin.bsky.social who is available for your commissions.
Duna and Elecy, in "The Dead Man's Empire", drawn by the brilliant @garin.bsky.social, who is open for YOUR commissions. And "The Dead Man's empire" is on sale now! @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social

A set of books with continuous spine decorations of fish, to be published by FSG The books are 🔸THE GREAT FIRE by Shirley Hazzard 🔸THE COLLECTED STORIES by Grace Paley 🔸SLOUCHING TOWARDS BETHLEHEM by Joan Didion 🔸TRAIN DREAMS by Denis Johnson 🔸MEMOIRS OF HADRIAN by Marguerite Yourcenar; Translated from the French by Grace Frick in collaboration with the Author 🔸THE ELECTRIC KOOL-AID ACID TEST by Tom Wolfe 🔸THE SABBATH by Abraham Joshua Heschel; Illustrated by Ilya Schor 🔸POEMS by Elizbeth Bishop 🔸OMEROS by Derek Walcott 🔸ON PHOTOGRAPHY by Susan Sontag

I’ve seen a few of these Artemis tracker sites pop up but the thing that’s annoying is none of them are using JPLs API to pull in real data. So I’ve created my own version that does with some sci-fi flare of course.

There is bascially a 100% chance if that if Trump orders the destruction of Iran's entire electrical infrastructure along with a finding from DOJ / DOD GS that it's legal, the U.S. military will carry it out and basically 0% chance any future D admin would prosecute them for it
“military aged males” got normalized as a viable target for war and it’s pretty much a racialized fiction meant to justify indiscriminate murder.

A few people have replied to my Artemis posts with links to Gil Scott-Heron's "Whitey on the Moon." Here's a story from Space.com about Artemis II pilot Victor Glover, currently en route to fly around the Moon, and his connection to that piece. www.space.com/space-explor...

This flag symbolized the Chinese Eastern Railway (CER), a joint Sino-Russian venture established under the 1896 Li–Lobanov Treaty, which granted Russia a concession to build a railway through Manchuria. Adopted in 1897, it served as the official emblem for the Russian-managed company, displaying its authority at railway stations and facilities like those in Harbin.
Cossacks guard the CER bridge over the Sungari River in Harbin during the Russo-Japanese War (1905)
A thread 🧵 on Polish palaeontologists in Harbin
There used to be (~30k strong) Polish population in the city of Harbin (哈尔滨), during Russian occupation of North China & partition of Poland. The population was composed of Socialist Poles who were banished as punishment for anti-Tsarist uprisings.
