an empire, if it is to persist at least, is a larger political unit. it isn't just the mere personal plaything of one guy. if it is then foreigners might easily bribe him to pillage his own subjects, which is what is happening
If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice
An image of HBO's The Pitt, where Dr. Robbie is cradling a child.
The cover for the 90s comic PITT #3, which features a monster holding a young boy aloft while the title character uh...crouches in the foreground?
The Pitt is a great example of how an adaptation can differ wildly from the source material and still be seen as a quality endeavor when judged on its own merits.

A digital illustration of an alpine meadow full of assorted wildflowers - asters, lupine, paintbrushes, cinquefoils. A unicorn lays in the flowers with its back to the viewer. In the distance, a stand of fir trees gives way to a bank of mist and a mountain rising in the distance.
Finally got around to finishing this! You bet your ghibli ass I had to put a unicorn up in this bad boy

Cropped phot of a black and white comic page while it’s being inked. In a corner panel, a young woman looks over her shoulder and says ‘Whuddup’. The shoulders of her blazer are torn open

Scientists should invent a Good Day clock that counts down to everything being fine
we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)
I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"
Skeleton guy
living in a world where the only two jobs are “gambling” and “murder” isn’t nearly as cool as Cowboy Bebop made it out to be
every seat in a movie theater should have an "I have to pee" button and if enough people press it they should be able to pause the movie

Map with timezones crossing from north-east to south-west
Hot take about time - we should have diagonal timezones since earth rotates on an incline
after midnight in your time zone check to make sure it's still you, and that you didn't get replaced by a robot or alien. that could happen at any time, but doing this on new years is a good habit to ensure you do it regularly. anyway try to remember answers to questions only the real you would know
Goodbye December ❄️
Wishing everyone a beautiful ending to the last day of the year tomorrow and a beautiful start to a new one!!
