Man ponders if he is still a good person if helping others benefits him. The universe answers and tells him: 'Be kind, I don't care why'

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

Meet the Alaska Student Arrested for Eating an AI Art Exhibit A conversation with Graham Granger, whose combination of protest and performance art spread beyond campus. “AI chews up and spits out art made by other people.”

This interview is very funny. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Contrarians get media buzz, I guess.

If the only time you get attention is people furiously disagreeing with you, then if course you'd uphold the "sanctity of discourse & debate"

omg this is looking INCREDIBLE.

it's so PNW-y though it's actually hilarious, this is made for and about a very certain type of person, and that person is me www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hysh...

My brother moved out to Seattle and a canadian cousin to Vancouver. The PNW is always a magical visit

Most of my summers were in northern Ontario in the Canadian Shield. The trees aren't as tall but there's something universal about a sea of evergreens and cold, fresh water

fan art of the heated rivalry protags facing off but with an intense, inscrutable, slightly horny stare

I have finally started the gay hockey show

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

I…am not good at bowling

The same editorial board described Seattle’s mayor raising taxes to pay for childcare as a totalitarian power grab

イラストはいつもきれいといいだね!

I love comparing todays statistics to the 1950s and assuming nothing happened at all. Clearly, the youths are all individually choosing to be lazy ne’er do-wells

sinners poster. the composition of the poster is sort of like in a guitar shape

done! (mostly, will probably do some minor edits and weathering when I get back to my laptop haha) #sinners

A ranger woman with a large raven with a lonely look

A headless knight on fire with a large axe

a monstrous witch with a large bag and a skull neckless. She seems welcoming but dangerous

crowd scene of a dnd group slaying a young dragon and grilling some meat

More from the vault

Fan art of Princess fionna as a buff barbarian, pretty much

Art of a dwarven druid wearing a skull belt. Hair in a braid surrounded by animals. She seems threatening

A bugbear surrounded by roses, looking sad

Fan art of merlin with googly eyes

This last couple years I really liked making D&D art for my campaign. The goal next year is to try more action poses

For the holidays: sourdough, sour cream and chive rolls, molasses cookies, and kimchi

Not photoed: a lemon harissa hummus and browned butter sage cookies (currently baking)

Since I travel to my parents and in-laws, its way easier to bring baked goods

A drawing of an Australian shepherd, a khaki-colored dog with long, elegant fur.

Puppy portrait! Did a little drawing of my brother’s dog, Winnie.

An ink and wash of a cabin in the northern ontario woods

a pastel and charcoal portrait of a woman with golden highlights and purple shadows. It feels poised and regal

an ink and marker drawing of a calico cat that says “No kings, just queens”. The cat seems content and proud but also small and soft. She has a fierce look in her eye

a digital graphite comic of the “We’re Just Normal Men” scene with Hacker T Dog

In reflection to 2025, Im glad i had time to make art and improve

Gonna start doing lunch break drawings to keep up my skills

OP, a short white gay man, poses with his pecs flexed like a fucking jackass. He’s shirtless

Here OP is also facing forward and doing an arm flex. The doorknob is obscured so you cant directly calculate his height but the door is in view so you can approximate

This is vain but idc. Im proud of the muscle i built over the year, and Im excited to slow-cut in January

Shout out to underemployment for the free time

Still good!

Hell yeah, dude, congrats! Doing science art and promo for the department or what?

Also big shout out to the near-retired white guy who cold emailed the entire chem dept in 2017. Sent a 5 paragraph diatribe about the futile job market and how everything was a “DEI hire” making a PhD pointless for anyone else

This dude didn’t blame ageism nor his wretched personality, of course

12 years ago in manufacturing a (horrid) coworker complained about how they werent hiring anyone unless you were a woman or PoC. Fellas, our dept was mostly white dudes. I was the new white dude hire

This dude had a job! The perceived possibility was enough for his casual racism to slip out at work

A lot of students view any time as too much time. Im worried that they’re gonna keep having to fraud their way thru life, because these AI tools cater to time mismanagement

Students will always claim plausible deniability, which is annoying. I have police students on an minimally important assignment (5% of grade), because they cant be assed to write their own shit

I asked for a 2 paragraph review of any non-fiction sci media. 50% of my students turn in AI slop

Watercolour painting of an ornamental blue Betta splendens, with especially long, flowing fins resembling underwater drapery.

Blue Betta. Watercolour, approximately 115 × 110 mm. From 2019.

Love in many ways ❤️‍🔥

We often chant that “to learn to write science papers, you need to read the literature.” But that didnt work for me, English class did

When I took a clarity in writing course, it was way easier to link thoughts and form sentences

In becoming clearer, I built a better argument for my data

A trick i consistently see hard science folks do is hide behind math to shield themselves from gaps of understanding.

You see a lot of researchers who barely grasp statistics but infer that a complex equation signals their competency

My department wouldn’t stand a chance in a fight
