It’s World Elephant Day! 🐘
These gentle giants have been an important part of my designs for a long time. Especially since my wife is obsessed with elephants and made me incorporate them into everything.

NEW KATAMARI LET’S GOOOOOO

Excellent point! You would think Johnny and Grimm would be all over that.

Fantastic Four was just ok 😶 and I’m relieved to know my Marvel-loving partner felt the same and that I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t suspend my disbelief on a couple of things in the movie. I know it’s a comic book movie, but I can still finger-point and call something out for being ridiculous.

Much love to ALL the characters who put on a fantastic show despite the gross heat. I wish I could give all of you a portable fan to stay cool 😩

Made some new friends yesterday!
Ygor was so delightfully fun ( thank you x1000 ) and Toothless and Hiccup were worth the wait!

A wild @treystokes.bsky.social appears! (Boo no giant wave ending on Hulu)

Oh C’MON I just got my Burning Blade pin in the other day and you release this NOW?! 😂

I probably don't qualify for cosplay senior citizenship status but like the tutorial ever for me remains Amethyst Angel's craft foam armor tutorial. Does this image spark an emotion in you like it does for me??

!!!! How exciting!!! Bummed I missed it when I was there last week 😩

2011 Winnie The Pooh is so underrated, we just watched it in our Disney Animated timeline and it still holds up from when I saw it in theaters.

Christopher Robin with realistic eyeballs is still weird tho.

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

Babs is always who I trace back to for my sense of humor. But I find myself quoting this the most.

THIS IS TOO CUTE

Elio was really damn cute! Go see it! Carl Sagan!

Friday lunch doodle. 🕺

Ha right?! Could easily fit within the Frankenstein manor but nope.

For @robyeodesign.com some Empty Queue photos inside Das Stakehaus at Epic Universe.

Thanks for making these beauties, @designpavilion.bsky.social ! I felt extra celestial today with them! ✨

I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this;

most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue!

well, we do. so fuck off.

Admittedly had to reload because I messed up and got her to REALLY hate me, but now we are iiiiiinnnn….
I also realize I’m talking to mostly the ladies in this game just because their designs are so goddamn cute 😩

I’ve been trying to get her to like me for seven days but I think she hates me 😭

There was a shocking lack of merch for it which hurts my heart because it’s my favorite ride in the park 😭

Any chance for some Stardust Racers accessories? 👀

🎶 'Cause love is love, it never ends
Can we all be as one again?🎶

Wanted to capture this magical moment Kylie Minogue gave all of us Lovers during her Tension Tour 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

@sabotagestudio.com So I’ve got an unfortunate bug to report…in an effort to try and pop that third balloon after Tendu, I uh “fell” and could not get back up and had to reload my game and fight him all over again :( I’m on the Switch version.

While I rarely cosplay these days, I’ll miss her. Starting out, this was always an exciting trip to grab makings for a new cosplay, as there was only one nearby. It was only a 20 min drive, but it felt like a special occasion to go there. As a Rag Shop vet, it’s hard to believe she’s gone now too.
