NOR CRYSTAL TEARS (1981) Acrylic - 30" x 19” A favorite theme of mine is the depiction of human-alien interactions. This book deals with the subject so wonderfully that I wanted to make it the focus of attention for the cover painting. 1/4 #bookssky #art 🪐📚

It's bloody depressing that artists feel they need to open a showcase of their work with, 'No AI.' but here we are.

Fingers crossed he meets a similar fate.

So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already. When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world. Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him. cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Mike_Po...

The people of Minneapolis are showing breathtaking courage. Facing down armed federal goons to protect their neighbors isn't just brave; it’s legendary.

1/x 🧵 ICE has booked at least 3,800 children + (Drawing by a 5-year-old detained in Texas with her mother. “I am 5 years old” is written at the top. Lower down, next to stick figures, are the words “let us go.” You don't have to know your Bible to hear myriad echoes here, but phew, those too.)

RIP Bob Layzell, I grew up with the TTA books and his artwork adorning many a sci-fi book cover. Many of his pieces have inspired me as well, one of the greats.

I spent my entire adult life, 35+ years, working to support US national security. Which very much included the Atlantic alliance. At the end of that time, 69% of the American public decided they were okay with throwing all that on the trash heap. Yeah, I'm a little salty about that.

Just got word from Steve Sullivan that Jean Rabe has passed. She was the RPGA's fourth Network Coordinator, a position she held for almost a decade, but I personally know her best for her Dragons of a New Age trilogy (but she wrote *tons* of books). [more]

I don't think I've ever seen such a pithy and clear summation of the consequence of Lost Cause ideology.

The Abundance movement often points to environmental groups as the obstacles to building. But who actually files the lawsuits blocking projects? It’s not environmental groups. It’s been lawyered-up HOAs protecting property values all along. Regulation by litigation is the problem.

I am tempted to write more short fiction.

Check out this (PWYW) new short fiction in the Solis People of the Sun universe. An Emissary from Earth, hires a mercenary frigate to go explore beyond the frontier of human space in search of possible alien encounters. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

This will always and forever be the most on point and prescient thing that Fukuyama ever wrote.

Space War: "The Enemy is at 50 million kilometers!" A 1/3rd of an AU, around a close pass of Earth and Mars, while visible, it would be roughly NINE MONTHS to engage. Likely just watch, nothing would happen until either side closed range, even if 100% visible to each other.

older gamers aren't mad about wokeness in games. we're mad that DND 4th Edition was jettisoned for the mechanically inferior 5th Edition
