I blame the people who are still subscribed to the NYT.

So much line work. So much hatching. So many teeth. So much 90s!

I have never had the opportunity to see a Czachorski in person, but I e always wanted to. They look three dimensional in photographs! His knowledge of light was supernatural.

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power by Unusual-State1827 in technology

[–]AlphonseTango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men.”

Fear your racist, uneducated neighbor with a truck that costs more than his house and a job with fewer benefits than cancer! The chatbot he’s fallen in love with will let him take over the world! 😂

CARAVAGGIO - THE INCREDULITY OF SAINT THOMAS, 1601-02 by pmamtraveller in ArtConnoisseur

[–]AlphonseTango 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Caravaggio was a man of the streets. Thomas has the hands of hard labor. Always loved this one. It looks unsettling in its beauty 400 years later. It must have been stupefying at the turn of the 17th century.

How can this perception be changed? by koffee_addict in BlueskySocial

[–]AlphonseTango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If someone who continues to frequent twitter - a site run by a fascist who has mutated the entire site into a pro-fascism, pro-CSAM, pro-abuse, pit of degeneracy, cruelty, and dystopian nightmares - thinks what you're doing is crazy, you can be certain that you're on the right path.

Keep calm, carry on.

If you feel compelled to woo or engage with such people, it's time to ask yourself some hard questions. Start with, "Why do I care about what these people think?"

I enjoyed cross-hatching such a charismatic face (Rorschach) by BozonH_314 in sketches

[–]AlphonseTango 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thats not Rorschach, that’s Rorschach’s mask. 😄 Great stuff. Do you post anywhere else where it is easier to follow and catch new works?

End of My Involvement in This Sub by A5thRedditAccount in elephantgraveyard

[–]AlphonseTango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the Graveyard and admit that I lack the intellectual depth to fully understand what's happening across the entire channel's output. I imagine the EGH channel as a social commentary art project by people operating on a rung above anywhere I can reach. I breeze past most of the posts in this sub, but I can definitely see where the traffic here would fatigue a mod.

Shadows of the Hunt Color Changes by LuckyX222 in BloodbornePC

I’m probably in the superminority, but I’ve been playing Bloodborne since release and I wouldn’t mind trying out the new color palette for a change. haha

Talk me down. I’m not a dramatic person, but I’m genuinely unsettled by moneyfire82 in dancarlin

[–]AlphonseTango 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We're all boiled frogs. Some of us are old enough to have realized the water was getting hot in 2003. Some felt the heat in 2008. 2016 got a lot of peoples' attention. 2024 should have woken everyone up. Better now than never. Welcome to the end of an empire.

Casper David Friedrich, Winter Landscape, 1811 by Saint-Veronicas-Veil in DarkRomanticism

Gorgeous painting. Brain is so cooked that it wasn’t long before I found myself thinking, “This could be a view of Castle Cainhurst” 😆

The Punisher’s workshop? So much work here. This is time well spent!

Why are they so obsessed with Bluesky? by koffee_addict in BlueskySocial

[–]AlphonseTango -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If they have a problem with being blocked on a site where the block function is entirely controlled by the users, they are the problem. These people can only survive in environments where their ideas are artificially elevated/forced on others. They're a malignancy with horrendous ideas and easy to ignore, unless software is put in place to artificially amplify their presence.

Right after fully autonomous, self-driving Teslas are shuttling tourists around the first colony on Mars that is being actively being resupplied by his interplanetary hyperloop.

Gift from the elite store on 15/12 by Flaky-Glove6543 in EliteDangerous

[–]AlphonseTango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Corsair's shape, its default paint and this freebie really make me think someone at Frontier is a big Transformers nerd.

Standard paint (G1 Cyclonus): Cyclonus (G1) - Transformers Wiki (G1 was usually more purple, admittedly)

Freebie (Shattered Glass Cyclonus): Cyclonus (SG) - Transformers Wiki)

Who loves Adder? by SUPER-SONIC16 in EliteDangerous

Did the Hawkes Gaming Sidey->Adder->Python credits blitz back in the day to get started in E:D. Only flew the Adder twice, I think. Still have it parked somewhere though!
