Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we be worried? The debate is ramping up about what happens if - or when - computer intelligence overtakes humans

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."

Two red insects with sharp rangs scurry out of a tunnel in the earth.

Two large insects can be seen near a stream.

In #JapaneseFolklore there is an insect #yokai known as tsutsugamushi. They are large and red with huge jaws and long antennae. They live deep in the mountains but come out at night and creep into houses to drink the blood of sleeping humans which can cause all kinds of...

do you wanna come over and do punch up on each others suicide notes

Oh! That's definitely odd, considering all they have to do to be proven right is wait a year or so. Thank you for responding!

Oh no, what is wrong? I appreciate him and root for his overriding cause

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

A huge monster reminiscent of a massive elephant carries a white city on its back. The monster is fleshy, pinkish, has multiple curve tusks, many tentacle-like proboscides, and walks on many shambling legs, some akin to that of a spider. It has two heads, one on each side of the city, each with four golden eyes and a small flame flickering above its head. A cloudy sky is shown in the background and mists surround its walking ground.

A monstrous scaled spider-woman. Her limbless torso rises from where a spider's mouth would be, and all the eight limbs of the spider are elongated, white and gangly, ending in fully functional seven-fingered hands. The head of the monster has incredibly long, white straight silken hair, falling in front of her. The woman has a hybrid face between human, insect and reptilian, with six visible eyes, mandibles around the sharp-teethed mouth, and two curved horns rising to the side of the head, one horn slightly longer than the other. Behind the spider-woman, the black starry sky, with a waning(waxing?) crescent moon above the spider-witch, framed in a hole at the centre of a massive spiderweb. The picture is completely black and white with the exception of the spiderweb, which is red, slightly fleshy, and irregular. The spider-witch raises two of her limbs to the moon behind her as if she can reach or grasp it, while two other limbs stroke her hair.

A fan-made comic page of Hellboy meeting some Space Marines (from Warhammer 40k) of the Crimson Fists chapter. The space marine lights Hellboy's cigarette with his flamer while saying "An impressive power-fist you wield, sanctioned mutant. But your bolter seems... outdated." Hellboy answers "Uhh... thanks?" and the space marine gives him a gun and a piece of shoulder armor, saying "Our munitorum has allowed me to issue you with a protective pauldron, and I'll share my spare bolter with you." Hellboy takes it and asks "Bolter, huh. What's it fire?" The space marines assemble, and a dreadnought rises nearby as Hellboy dons the pauldron and wields the gun, while the space marine answers "Gyro-jet assisted armor-piercing explosive rounds!" Hellboy grins and comments "Now we're talking!"

A scene from a Darkest Dungeon fan-comic, showing the Ancestor lighting a torch in a massive antechamber deep within the earth. Strange fungi grow inside the cave, near an antediluvian gate surrounded by stone tentacles. The Ancestor is triumphant, but his attendant (the Caretaker from the game) and his workers are shocked and in dismay.

Oh boy oh boy it's #PortfolioDay once again
I'm Melfist, I'm an illustrator and comic artist. I'm preparing a massive comic saga and showing off a few of the concepts. I also do some fanarts from time to time.

Well it's official, I've written Da Red Gobbo novella for this Xmas! Looking forward to unleashing Bodgit's particular brand of mayhem upon the masses!

Yo Ho Ho!

There’s a soul-destroying attitude that I have difficulty explaining but basically when people take the risk of people not liking their art out of art the art is worse

with your help we can change this

Budo includes a LOT Spoiled me maybe wants the one helmet to look a little more like the vintage? Maybe they decided that wasn’t very authentic. I still love how it is. Give me MORE MORE MORE make me 9 again! Seriously though, this is killer. They are on a rampage when it comes to making pretty silly guys into something amazing. But still a little bit silly. I like it that way.

Needs more guy for all that stuff!

Today’s affirmation:

JK Rowling says "ha ha.. h-heh. I won! I won!" She sits alone in the dark, bathed in the late of her computer screen. We pull back to see her in a large dark empty room. She continues "I won." Seeing the full scope of her cavernous workplace, she appears small and alone. She says, once again, "I won..."

This is how I imagine JK Rowling when she posts.

I feel like it's only a small grift to jump on the back of the Mechanicus 2 demo coming out to say that if you enjoy Necrons and their shenanigans, TOMB WORLD is out now!

I hope everyone who pre-ordered the special ed is enjoying its lushness, and everyone who got any edition is enjoying its story!

The virgin AGI existential risk vs the chad global warming

This is a) utterly terrifying and b) vital. Don’t turn away. The crisis is fixable because it is, ultimately, political. We know the chemistry. We decline the action necessary.

The Jersey Devil from the Four Horsemen! Love that they’re getting into cryptids. The unusual proportions are perfect to me here, with the oversized head. A nice addition this October.

keep going. your smoke too gentle. your swag too similar. your bitch too basic. they’ll love you.

OK the facehugger boots are an inspired touch

User homoquartz writes: as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now." Small talk isn't to get to know a person. It's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe. I am motivated by wanting the other person to know I am friendly, so I have gotten pretty decent at small tall when I used to hate it.

This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.

I should point out that I’m lapsed, but as a friend of mine once put it about cradle Catholics, “you can never really leave the church. The farthest you can get is the foyer, and you can still hear the hymns from there.”
