Boba and Fennec about to reluctantly do the right thing and stop a bank robbery - for the @wildwestzine "For a Fistful of Credits".

I am so so happy that I got to be a part of this zine! ❤️

i can’t believe this is real

not the source for the screen cap but here's a WSJ article (sans paywall)

Per previous tags--

In this model of Tesla, apparently—get this—according to the Tesla manual, you do it on a touchscreen.

Did a human being just die because of swiping the wrong way?

...And then, when you're in the water and the car's power systems (which operate the doors, because of course they do) have all gone down, how do you get out?

You partially disassemble the door and pull out one specific wire. The image via Warren Terra at Bluesky.)

...I don't know about the rest of you, but I am never getting into one of these alleged vehicles. Ever.

...you know, we've been saying that these things are deathtraps, but holy SHIT

I feel compelled to point out that the diagram above is for the back door. I still don't know where to find the wire to open the front doors.

This is why anyone who actually works in tech (being a tech ceo does not count as working) is wary at best about making things "smarter". The failure mode for a computerized mechanism should be functioning as a non-computerized mechanism, but very often the failure mode for a fully-smart device is undefined behaviour that the manufacturer doesn't intend for you to ever see. And that means there's no recourse in situations like this.

The front doors actually do have a kind of override handle! Except it's such a cheap piece of plastic that Tesla recommends you only use it in case of emergency because frequent use can cause it to break. On a handle that opens the car door.

... what.

Look. My dad was an automotive journalist. I've heard a lot of bad car ideas. A lot.

That's... wow. Every idea I hear that went into a Tesla is the worst car idea I've ever heard.

The dad and the dog he didn't want 😭

Boba Fett x Din Djarin anyone?

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about GhostSoap. I drew this a while ago and just wanted to post it ❤️

Lineart below the cut, because I always think the lineart turns out better for some reason

no offense but you guys need to learn the difference between someone implying their experience is universal and a post simply just not being about you

Show me where I've made this mistake. Cite a specific time when I misinterpreted a post in this manner.

sorry to derail the post op but I think this exchange in the notes deserves appreciation

Noodling about clones and gender

I am full of largely chemical-based and slightly situationally-influenced RAGE so I am going to write something CREATIVE that I LIKE THINK ABOUT, goddammit, instead of being directionlessly angry.

I initially wrote 'i will write something positive' but it's about the Fett clones so it's in fact uhhhh fucking tragic. Spawned by reading gorgeous Trans!Bly and Trans!Cody fic and my headcanons about what it means to be someone who identifies as a 'clone' but presents as 'not that' (it's Tech, Tech suffers from gender dysphoria, in this essay I will explain)

imagine if doorways grew back like scabbed over with fresh drywall and you had to keep carving them back out with a jabsaw to keep the doorway clear etc

Imagine if the membranes recoiled in pain every time you did this. Imagine if over time, some doorways became accustomed sensation. Imagine that very rarely, some even seemed to enjoy it.

*sleepover host voice* imagine if you two went to sleep

Oh for gods sake kids it’s like piercing an ear - that’s why you put a doorframe in - you don’t hang a door in drywall, you gremlins. You frame the door. It’s like those gauges that people put in their ears - the hole stays. It won’t scab over with a doorframe in it. You’ve lived around doors you whole life, you little clowns. Lights out

Japanese, b.1947-

Woodblock, 18.7 19 cm.

Photographer Lloyd Meudell captures surrealistic images of breaking sea foam. Interestingly, the sea foam is essentially a three-phase fluid made up of air, water, and sand. Yet despite the surrealism of its forms, the foam bears strong resemblance to other flows. The shapes the foam forms are reminiscent of vibrated non-Newtonian fluids like paint or oobleck. Momentum deforms the foam into sheets and ligaments smoothed and held together by surface tension until droplets snap free. You can find more of Meudell’s work at his site. (Image credits: L.

Pigeon attempts to court falcon

For all those in the notes - peregrine falcons hunt by dive-bombing their prey; this falcon however is currently stationary and cannot dive-bomb much of anything. In this moment, the pigeon is safe. The falcon however may not recover from the embarrassment.

I can't tell if that's a giant pigeon or a tiny falcon

Tiny falcon

You go, Glen Coocoo
