Alex says "well, economy's fucked. Time to start camming." She asks herself "what's my niche?" She gets an idea. She has set up a sexual version of Cow Tools. Her friend says "I don't get it..."
A painting of Lucifer tempting Jesus in the desert. Lucifer is INCREDIBLY naked, dirty, and lurid, rubbing up ons Jesus' robes from behind; his hand is open in offering and is placed in front of Jesus' crotch
I just re-found this painting, which was in a kid's bible I had growing up. I used to obssess over it, and I'm pretty sure seeing Lucifer here was the first time I thought a man was attractive? Over the years I'd think "it couldn't possibly be as horny as I remember it", but I mean come ON
So I shared this scene a while back explaining that Douglas Fairbanks was aided by his brother Robert, whose job was to make the graceful Doug look even better via hidden trampolines, wires and, in this case, a lowered table.

Boston Globe mock front page from April 9, 2016. Date says April 9, 2017, with giant headline “DEPORTATIONS TO BEGIN” and “Markets sink as trade war looms.”
Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?
this video is gonna make me throw up
US photographer, film-maker, musician and author Gordon Parks created a groundbreaking body of work that made him one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.

A poorly drawn faux football sticker of American pop icon Diana Ross hooking a dismal penalty wide of the left hand post during the opening ceremony of the 1994 World Cup. The flimsy goalnet collapses regardless, in apparent sympathy.
1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ days until the World Cup, so here's one poorly drawn World Cup moment every day until the tournament kicks off or until we forget to post one (I give it a week)
We'll start with Diana Ross failing to work the goalkeeper. She'll be disappointed with that.
A major satellite imagery provider, Planet Labs, is indefinitely withholding access to imagery over Iran and the conflict region more broadly, citing a request from the U.S. government. The decision, announced in an email to customers on Saturday, was a significant step in narrowing the public's visibility into what is happening in the war in the Middle East. Journalists and researchers often use satellite imagery to create a fuller picture of events, especially in places that are difficult to reach or where information is restricted. The Pentagon declined to comment on whether the U.S. government had requested that satellite imagery providers restrict content. Planet Labs said in its email on Saturday that the U.S. government asked "all satellite imagery providers" to indefinitely withhold images.
This is a huge problem for all of us, and extremely irritating for me personally

An image of the entire Earth, with Northern Africa and the North Pole visible at the lower left. It looks like daytime but it is actually illuminated by moonlight. There’s a bright arc along the lower right where the sun is coming through from behind. There’s a bright dot on the lower right (Venus) and a glow (zodiacal light). A few stars can be seen in the dark beyond the Earth.
An image of the entire Earth, with Northern Africa and the North Pole visible at the lower left. It is dark with muted colors. There’s a very bright arc along the lower right where the sun is coming through from behind. There’s a small dot on the lower right (Venus). The background is dark with a few faint stars visible.
The whole-Earth-at-night photo from the #Artemis II mission was brighter than many expected. That was mostly due to camera settings; here’s another pic taken just before with diff settings. Digital photography is always subjective—even before processing! (HT @swapnakrishna.com @jasonc0.bsky.social)

Interesting! Was wondering about the camera settings... I looked at the image file metadata and here's what it's showing:

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Just remembering how good Bowie was at losing his marker.

I love good visual storytelling.
Scene from the Animatrix: A robot woman is attacked by three men. They are holding her arms, ripping off her clothes, and striking her in the head with a hammer, causing her humanoid skin and hair to tear away. A crowd sits nearby, laughing. She screams, "I'm real! I'm real!" These are her last words.
The news makes me think about this scene every single day.
