A fan art pic based on the video game "Pokemon: Pokopia" showing Professor Tangrowth, one arm lifted into the air while pointing upward with a stick in its hand, eyes closed in a pleasant expression and pointing at a Tangela eagerly leaning upwards in front of it.

A fan art pic based on the video game "Pokemon: Pokopia" showing Mosslax with a pleasant smile on its face, glancing upwards a the Munchlax sitting on its head; Munchlax's arms are raised up excitedly and it is looking down at Mosslax with a happy expression.

A fan art pic based on the video game "Pokemon: Pokopia" showing Chef Dente, hands lifted upwards and an excited expression on their face, standing next to a Skwovet also with its arms lifted upwards. Both are looking up at a Vibrant Hamburger Steak surrounded in a golden glow.

A fan art pic based on the video game "Pokemon: Pokopia" showing a Ditto stretching downwards from the top left-hand side of the frame looking happily at the Player Character Ditto, who is stretching upwards from the bottom right-hand side of the frame. The Player Character Ditto is waving at the other Ditto.

More weekly pic catch-up, this time all about #pokopia! I loved exploring the unique forms each #pokemon gets in this game, even as I haven't yet played it myself.

A fan art pic based on the video game "Deltarune" showing Susie being hugged tightly by Noelle Holiday (both are in their Light World forms). Susie's eyes are bugging out, there's a big blush running across her cheeks and snout, and steam is puffing out around her head. Noelle's eyes are closed and she has a big smile on her face as she presses her nose to Susie's chest. Her nose is glowing.

A fan art pic based on the 2017 animated series "DuckTales" showing Drake Mallard (wearing his Darkwing Duck costume but without the cape, mask, or hat) holding the hand of Launchpad McQuack and giving it an elegant kiss. Launchpad is looking away bashfully, a blush on his cheeks. There are golden sparkles around Drake's head.

A fan art pic based on the 2018 animated series "She-Ra and the Princesses of Power" showing Adora and Catra (in her design from the final few episodes of the series) standing close to each other, each holding the other's arm as they look at each other with intense expressions. Each has a cigarette in their mouth and is pushing the end of their cigarette into the end of the other's. A stream of orange smoke flows out from the cigarettes.

A fan art pic based on Archie's "Sonic the Hedgehog" comic book. Princess Sally (in her reboot design) is standing on the left-hand side of the pic with a non-plussed expression. Her right arm hangs to her side, while her left hand is lifted towards the face of Sonic who is standing across from her. Sonic is on the right-hand side of the pic looking away from Sally with his eyes closed, a blush on his cheeks, and golden sparkles around his head. His left hand is closed and held up to his mouth, his right hand is open and is held over Sally's muzzle.

Sometimes you gotta live and learn!

Bought some cool merch from @sammytighe.bsky.social !

Happy National Library Week to whoever did this.

Digital illustration of a Dark-eyed Junco, a dark brown sparrow with a pink beak, looking down from the background at a patch of red clover. The clover is covered in a variety of insects from Graham Montgomery's Ph.D work, including Harmonia axyridis (Asian ladybeetle), Scaptomyza terminalis (a small fly), Altica sp. flea beetles (tiny iridescent green beetles), Forcipata loca (pale yellow small leafhopper), Evacanthus interruptus (yellow and black leafhopper), and Anaspis rufa (small golden-brown false flower beetles).

I've never known if #BirdoftheDay is open to art but I guess I'll give it a go! If we're doing birds with flowers today, then I'll re-share this illustration of a Slate-colored Junco peering down on a landscape of red clover and the insects among it. #BirdArt #SciArt #Invertebrates

A vaccine for Lyme disease could be on the horizon The vaccine candidate is the furthest any shot has gotten since the last one was pulled in 2002. Scientists are testing other ways to block infection.

Y'all I'm IN THIS STUDY!!!

Really I'm in it! I haven't been unblinded and I still don't know what I got but there's ME! Just a tiny little data point.

we all know I have no life, so:

This works even better with my Columbo/Quantum Leap crossover pitch:

Disney World employs about twice as many people as the entire coal industry.

Lighting the climate on fire, ruining the environment, and making people sick so that 39,000 Manly Men can stay employed in a dying industry is so dumb.

It's not even the fight against climate change that killed coal. Coal died because the fossil fuel industry pivoted to combined cycle natural gas plants. Even the fossil fuel companies don't want it!

I think Democrats could, with very little actual fall-out, personally insult every coal industry worker and say they're going to destroy their jobs. Sure, West Virginia will be lost...but it already was.

We should actually just ban the coal industry and be done with it. Almost no lasting negatives.

The Trump regime has had to *force* coal power plants to stay open. Their operators don't want to. They'd rather stick with natural gas or move on to solar and actually make money. It's a dead industry.

Lionsgate’s buzzy biopic is, amid legal peril (as opposed to commercial pressures), mostly just an (entertaining) IMAX-friendly musical montage, a prologue to a theoretical sequel that likely relitigates Michael Jackson’s later years.

On the right, artwork by Barry Windsor-Smith and Herb Trimpe of Machine Man's semi-assembled head in closeup, Jocasta, Iron Man 2020, and Sunset Bain. A magenta and white circuitboard pattern frames the image.

FINALLY: all you've ever wanted to know about Machine Man – the living robot – from his birth in the 80s to the far off year of 2020! Fully annotated on the TFUK Appendix!

flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.

if the right is successful, it must be because the liberals possess some fatal shortcoming or overreached in a way that mechanically produced backlash. the idea that the political right is its own thing with its own aims, can harness discontent and take advantage of contingency is verboten i guess

I don't remember this My Little Pony character

Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.

We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

As a showcase of sadistic amorality, this is down there with the DHS agents who dined in a Mexican restaurant and then ordered a roundup of its staff. Trump revels in sociopathy, and has given chuds across the country license to do the same.

RFK Jr. is a guy who was meant to commit a series of themed animal crimes in Gotham City with the ultimate goal to “eat the Bat” before being subdued and returned to Arkham.

Florida's economy works by converting pension funds into real estate speculation & medical debt. I'm impressed it's lasted as long as it has

when a male engineer asks people to not use or accept sloppy code in production, he’s affirmed as making a correct/good admonition

when a non-male designer asks people to spend 10 minutes to avoid chatgpt ui slop, it’s suddenly “gatekeeping”

“technical” vs “non-technical” is just as harmful and incorrect as “creative“ vs “non-creative”

these binaries are arbitrarily and socially constructed to divide and discriminate against people

yeah, I really hate these terms, and the notion that arts and engineering should be compartmentalized fields with little to no overlap. the gaslighting starts at a young age and gets much worse if you go to college.

Theres an interesting thing ppl do online in terms of hate as performance where they gas each other up into more & more outlandish expressions of it in order to in-group signal.
