I predict the headlines for this week in advance: Evil Machine Just Got Eviller, Will Anyone Turn It Off? Guy Who Openly Does Crimes Did A Crime Just those two. All week.

Put a hot bag of flax seed in your bed about 10 minutes ahead...

Heating has been tinkered, and most of the building is a nice toasty 70F, except for the studio which is at 16C, but it's normal to be chilly in here. Sorry for the mixed units, I'm Canadian but not all my thermometers are.

The heating system works, in the sense that is is able to produce heat. It's more of a volume and scheduling problem. The heat is not delivered in the quantity nor with the timing that we desire.

- We've created an aggressive virus that will take over all technology and destroy humans. Please give us more money. . To fight the virus, right? - No. We want to make it bigger.

Draganfly Drones is promoted as a Saskatoon success story. They are run out of Tampa, Florida with top Trump military appointees on the board. Don Jr is an investor. The PM committed to building a Canadian supply chain for our defence. This stinks. charlieangus.substack.com/p/stop-don-j...

Too humid for a prairie kid. How do you handle being too hot and too cold at the same time?

After I browse the product, I wait. The subsequent advertising for said product often affects my purchase decision.

Today, there was a bee shoving its face into my marigolds. So I just watched it for a while. 5 stars. Would do again. No notes.

I just love it when a Strategy Guide talks exclusively about tactics and ignores strategy completely.

The Day will come. The question is whether there will be any streets left to dance in.

Literally warning them against the Oversteegens. You can't make this up.

It did this all by itself with no prompting, honest!

Basement crickets are the worst. They have no self preservation instincts. You're just going around innocently doing basement things and CRUNCH. Great. Now I have cricket juice to clean up.

It's hard to not give up on things when everyone around you is giving up on things.

Project Zomboid rant: First Aid is a useless skill. If you have a high First Aid skill, it means you're getting injured a lot, and if you're getting injured, you will eventually zombify, guaranteed. Just learn to not get hurt. GOOD players have 0 skill in First Aid.

I have 3 penholders and 3 mason jars being used as penholders. This seems like a suboptimal working setup wrt penholders.

This shit is why you can't separate continuing to financially support the Harry Potter IP (whether by buying the games, merch, watching the new TV show when its out) from the consequences of what JK Rowling does with that money She's become so stiflingly powerful that even private docs arent safe

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

The Canadian Government has a big AI boner right now, but you can still answer the survey with as much spite as you can muster.

This. This is the correct, science-backed, responsible framing. Wish more news outlets did it like the CBC.

Historically, whenever there has been climate upheaval the predators go after the resources of those that they see as weaker. As the climate destabilizes democracy will be destabilized. We are in the age of the predator and Canada must be ready. My latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-age-of...

So, I was just watching old SNL skits.... Jane Curtin... LOL... 😍

Elite Dangerous is the only game where I get a connection error trying to DISconnect. Well done. <slow clap>

More details are coming out about Trump's threat to destabilize the Canadian border in order to threaten our sovereignty. The only thing that stopped him was the massive threat of counter-tariffs by Canada. But the threat remains. My latest. youtu.be/DmE9S2VB3tg?...

This one's a bit sloppy, but it represents an improvement - starting to express a little upward tilt instead of just a dude with his ears too low.

I love how Windows Fax & Scan preserves every scan setting between pages, EXCEPT the file type. Because of course, why would you want anything but JPG?

I'm think what I'm consistently getting wrong with the tilted up angle is foreshortening of facial features. I don't know if I want to keep practicing until I can understand the exact problem.

Absolutely useless today... Only thing I accomplished was fingernails. 😕 At least they turned out ok.

"Does the President sleep in the same room as the First Lady?" No, clearly she does not sleep in the Oval Office! Use your eyes!

My art teacher told me, "always finish, even if you think it's no good", and I've repeated that advice my whole life. I really just don't WANT to finish this, though. Do you really have to finish, if it's the last project you'll ever do?

Canadian residents & citizens; I would highly recommend signing this one

The Metals Co., headquartered in Vancouver, has received the thumbs-up from Trump to mine the deep sea. But it wasn’t Trump’s place to give the thumbs-up. @sarahkcox.bsky.social sky.social for @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2026/07...

At a certain point, a garment becomes "for art", because this ain't gonna wash out.

My gamedev dream died, I'm on stage 2, and THE DAMN RAIN WILL NOT STOP!!!! I NEED A NAZI TO PUNCH!

Few things are as anxiety-inducing as the sound of rain. I just want to sleep! :(

It's pretty much in the nature of generative AI that any use of it nudges you away from your own ideas, voice, style, and mark-making towards the statistical center of existing work.

This lightboard is strong enough that sketches on the bond sheets show up just fine through the ~200gsm final pages. I am pleased!

I knew this drawing book would have a section on my old Nemesis, and I have now arrived at that section: <cue villain theme> --- Foreshortening ---

I think I'm done with game dev. You can't do it alone, and I don't have a team, so it's pretty cut and dry. Humans likely won't be allowed to create for much longer anyway. It was fun, I guess.

He looks more like a Vogon every day.

FYI you can fix a scratchy speedball C-nib by running it gently over a ceramic whetstone.

I've never had an ink brush before.. I mean, I have, but not this kind with the ink inside it, like. This is awesome!
