Woke up to find my town blanketed with smoke from the Canadian wildfires. You'd think it's just fog looking out your window, but once you step outside, everywhere you go smells like Marlboro City. And the Eye of Ra burns a frightening scorched red, high above it all. #Sun #Ra #Smoke #Wildfires

R.I.P., Sam Neill! 😭 You'll be remembered for each and every one of your roles; and I will remember you most for one of your earliest films, Omen III: The Final Conflict (1981). You were the absolute BEST Antichrist ever put on film, good sir. #SamNeill #Omen #FinalConflict

I must be getting old, because for the past month, I've developed an obsession with watching "Perry Mason" (1957-1966). I remember my grandparents arguing over who could break a case faster, Perry Mason or Ben Matlock.

Raymond Burr as "Perry Mason" in the original 1957-1966 TV series.

I saw Supergirl (2026) last weekend, and I absolutely loved it. Here's my spoiler-free review of the film here: desertofset.com/2026/07/01/s... #Supergirl #Superman #DC #comics #movies #film #review

Here's an oldie but a goodie I call "Cat People." (Note: I drew this more than a decade ago, before I quit smoking. In case there are any kids looking at this, please remember that smoking is bad for you! I was wrong, and I changed my ways. Best not to start in the first place!)

Here's an oldie but a goodie that I like to call "Cat People."

Depicted: The Egyptian God Set sitting in a recliner, reading from a Stephen King book to an orange cat who's sitting in His lap (left); and the Egyptian Goddess Bast sitting in a recliner, petting a white cat who's sleeping on Her lap (right).

(Bear in mind, I drew this more than a decade ago, long before I quit smoking. What's that disclaimer they always have to put in movies that feature smoking now? Something to the tune of, "No payment or other consideration was received for the depiction of tobacco products. Smoking is hazardous for your health. Don't be a dumbass like G.B. when he was younger, kids."

Sweet Lord Pazuzu, King of the Winds, Hear the pleas of those who stand in peril. Though thy wrath is terrible to the wicked, Thy shadow is a fortress to the weak.

O Dazzling One, Great of Strength, Lord of the Red Lands! The rest of the world May curse Your names, But I give You praise, For I know that nothing, Not even the Creator, Can exist without You, Save for the accursed serpent. (1 of several)

Oh this is a great question! I consulted with my wife about this, and she recommends any kind of red, loose-leaf lettuce, like in the picture below. She also suggested a Napa cabbage. Man, those cabbages taste pretty sweet once they're cooked!

The Pharaoh #Hatshepsut was a woman. But in her role as Pharaoh, she presented herself as a man. When you became the Pharaoh, you became a human incarnation of the male God Horus, and the Egyptians figured this applies just as well to a woman as it does to a man.

"Circumpolar"has made my local news! #music #electronic #synths #synthwave #darkwave #Setian #Sutekh #Kemetic #Egyptian #Pagan #Polytheist

"This prolific composer usually releases albums that act as soundtracks for imaginary films about Set, the Egyptian God of "night, storms, and otherness." Circumpolar is still dedicated to all things Set, but the 12 tracks act as standalone works, though they share a similar sonic style: dark, rumbling repetition. Recommended if you vibe with Tangerine Dream and their cosmic like."
