A black and white photo of him.

His cover to Blue Bolt #53 (1945), a poster he designed for the 1940 "American Negro Exposition," a painting of Harriet Tubman, and his cover to Sports Fiction (Winter 1943).

Today is the birthday of Robert Pious (March 7, 1908-Feb. 1, 1983), a painter, illustrator, & cartoonist. His work appeared in books, magazines, & comic books from publishers such as Fiction House & Novelty. In 1933, he produced the comic strip, The Dopes, that was syndicated in Black newspapers.

Obviously, NEH grants never should have been clawed back in the first place, DOGE is a lot of crap, and all grants should be reinstated, but if you want to feel PARTICULAR rage about how half-assed and cruel the whole process is, read the AI rationale for terminating the TEAMS METS grant

I actually find it pretty damning that plenty of people are willing to overlook a guy having the actual no-joke SS logo permanently etched on his skin because he says a handful of the right lefty buzzwords, despite his actual job history demonstrating absolutely no adherence to those principles.

does anyone want a ton of DnD 5.0 books in LA for dirt cheap or free? I can get a picture but its a ton of modules, the basic rulebook, some DM screens and additional content

A late night barrage of reposts can only mean one thing, my movie night is over and I'm here to remind you (or inform you) that hey, a new Indiepocalypse came out today!

Here's a bit about what I do 💖

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

my AIM handle was “Misato”. just Misato no numbers fight me & lose

If an artist isn't able to visualise their ideas on paper (or on the screen) without the use of genAI, they are not an artist. I know some artists who aren't capable of visualising things in their head, yet they can still create stunning art. I know others who brainstorm their ideas and compositions with literal scribbles and stick figures, only to end up with a beautifully rendered piece. There is absolutely no excuse for a self-respecting artist to use genAI at any point during their process.

Someone over on Instagram saying that genAI is bad for art, but can still be used by artists who have trouble visualising their ideas.

I had to reply.

Someone needs to trick Joe Rogan into having Isaac Chotiner on his show.

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️

The resources available here are remarkable. If you have any interest in designing your own games, this is invaluable.

They unravel because to take up the anti-trans position is to believe in a conspiracy theory where trans people secretly control all mechanisms of power in the world, have captured every institution and gotten to every friend and family member they ever had who doesn't mirror their bigotry.

PUT NANCY IN PAPER

There are good kings and bad kings, the difference between the two matters, and you’d much rather live under a good king than a bad king. But ultimately the risk of the bad kings far outweighs the potential upside of a good one. Exact same principle applies here. Too much tail risk.

Fix Your Hearts or Die It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.

"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminism—because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating."
