Okay, so this style of eye makeup... is there a name for this? Does that just fall under like "wings"? The health of my future relationships may depend on it.

A close cropped picture of some very pretty green eyes, with heavy eyeliner in an Anime-like style, swooping out sideways in imitation of monstrous eyelashes.

Just got flown over by one of these in bright orange. Looked like Rick Hunter's little stunt plane from the first episode of Robotech.

Yo, how come the clouds got anime speedlines? Once a week. While the temperature and humidity fluctuate.

Whispy clouds showing large amounts of stretching along a specific axis.

Fidel Destro@fideldestro· Jul 11

I've been talking about the peculiar cloud patterns we're having this year, and this is the one really catching my eye just about once a week. It was like this on the 4th as well... all the clouds rushing to or from the same direction, as if being sucked in and blown out.

A morning sky with whispy clouds showing distinct directional movement, with silhouettes of palm trees in the foreground.

omg, guys... I just went outside (buck ass naked, I suddenly realize, but anyway) and there are the tiniest little frogs on my doorjam.

Apparently I saved rhis profile pic from Tinder a few months back and forgot about it. I now notice the Converse on her head, and... I think she's dressed up as a baby shoe, never worn.

An adult human in a pink skinsuit, bulged out at the belly, and with a black shoe mysteriously perched on their head.

Who's the superior Japanese response to Superman... Ultraman or Goku?

Ultraman, a giant silver and red alien who looks kind of like a dolphin fucked a bullet train.

Goku, a saiyan male who frankly looks a bit dumpy here. He should work out more.

It's fascinating to me that they stitched his part together from multiple segments, and you can tell because they moved his certification to be visible in both shots.

This fuck has such a mushy brain. Studios who have to disclose their use of AI will fail because 1) the audience will reject them for using AI because they're haters, and 2) the competition will defeat them because they're using AI!

"I think it's really irresponsible of Valve. They shouldn't do it because it makes it much, much, much harder for a game developer to have a chance of success. You have to choose from either not using tools that can make you way more productive, and probably failing due to competition that does."

This is quote comes from an employee at a fintech company who accidentally burnt $80,000 in tokens vibecoding a game, which his employer is now begging people to play so they can consider it a marketing expense. Truly Brilliante.

"This was a genuine accident, i underestimated my own ability," Brilliante wrote.

I left twitter a looooong time ago, back before it was even purchased. Really easy decision. I got temp banned 4 times for posting things like this, which their automated systems identified on at least one occasion as "revenge porn". Not a big fan of automated moderation systems, tbh

Tell me your summaries are written by machines without telling me your summaries are written by machines.

With a diameter of around 2.6 km, 3I/ATLAS is moving at more than 60 kilometers per second, faster than predecessors 1I/Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov, making it the third interatellar object ever detected.

This probably surprises no one, but bots reply to bots with totally off-topic Godot suggestions. They really are just like us. Also, they're saying weeeeird shit.

Bot 1: "Andy Burnham shows why local leaders outthink centralised systems."

Bot 2: "Godot's node tree is a rare case where local-first design explicitly resists the flattening logic of model abstraction. Centralized systems would need to tear it apart to ingest it."

Yay. New shoes get. I just got the exact same things, and now you can see just how hard I've been on the pair I got in October.

Two pairs of shoes, similar... but quite different.
To the left, fresh green sneakers with bright yellow insoles. To the right, a pair that is beaten up and has faded to a lighter greyish green.

A thing from this evening. #Blender #MotionGraphics

How dicey? Well... That's what 3-5 miles a day over 7 months will do.

The bottoms of my shoes. One is smooth. The other has a big ragged hole. Together, they fight crime!

Just saw this on YouTube. The pic is Dana Delaney, star of China Beach (1988-1991). She did not appear in On The Beach, a TV movie from 2000 starring Armand Assante. Not sure if the whole image is generated or what. The door appears to say "Executive President" maybe? Tech is going great.

A pretty brunette with dark lipstick looking at camera. Text on screen says ON THE BEACH.

Happy Sunday, everyone! Just finished grilling up a couple burgers, a couple sausages, and this ear of corn. Sometime soon, I'll have a grill SLIGHTLY nicer than my setup here, where I've put the grill from a fire pit over a rusted charcoal starter!

The abomination, as described in post. There's a rusty chimney-style charcoal starter surrounded by bricks, with a VERY LARGE grill on it, holding some browned corn.

Pretty much yeah. Wins a duel in the sewers and then was like, "Damn, I'm punk af."

Article extract: The X-Men are outnumbered, and Storm is rendered sick by the Morlock called Plague. To save Kitty's life, Storm challenges the Morlocks' leader Callisto, in a duel to the death for the leadership of the Morlocks. Callisto is presented as a complex character who rebels against her position of low social status. Despite Storm's illness, she defeats Callisto by stabbing her with a knife. Callisto is saved through the efforts of the Morlock Healer, and Storm offers the Morlocks refuge at the Xavier Mansion, though they decline.[18] Storm is then made leader of the Morlocks. This fight with Callisto has strong effects on Storm's character, who becomes more defiantly non-conformist.[19] Following this incident, Storm has an encounter with Yukio, a ninja companion of Wolverine's. Storm has a close and intimate bond with her.[20] While the characters' relationship was conceived of as romantic,[21] it was relegated to subtext after Marvel Comics' editor-in-chief Jim Shooter mandated that no same-gender couples could be depicted at Marvel.[22][23][24] These experiences lead Storm to drastically change her appearance.

It's funny. During my morning walk, I was thinking a bit about manifesting, and the sense I get sometimes that the Universe is communicating with me. The Little Free Library was particularly messy, so I stopped to straighten it up, and this plopped into my hand. What the hey. I'll give it a skim.

Saw that Commodore flip phone, and that's not my Commodore.

Back on Mastodon, some nifty person made a card generator (using their human programming skills), and I made little animated intros for a handful of people (myself included, natch). That was fun.

Did some basic self-care and grooming this morning. Thought I'd document the results. Fidel Destro Age: 46

An alright looking guy in middle-age, with thick dark eyebrows (one cocked lightly), a patchy mostly-grey beard, and hair tied back. Grey hairs splay this way and that like steam rising from hot springs. The background is a small brick yard containing wooden chairs, a green waste bin, and a small gazebo with a charcoal grill.

Yeah, the stuff we do is pretty different, lil friend. Your computer is part of your toolkit, there to enhance your super lovely colorful punky ass art. Meanwhile, I demand the stupid box conjure shapes for me out of the void. And thank you. I found the tools I was willing to invest myself in.
