You got me!!! (but, sweet dreams are made of this Rick roll!)
wait - how does your dad know all these things that he infodumps? and what about those of us that have alien dna?
So, something I learnt the other day. So, you know how dinosaurs supposedly can't see you if you stand still? Well that myth is based on real-life lizards/etc and how eyes in general work. So, once my dad starts infodumping, here comes some other cool information. We, humans, can in fact, also not see something unless it's moving. We fixed this by having our eyes constantly shake. And then our brain compensates for us, so we don't have to have shaky vision.
What if aliens don't have this? Like. What if they find out when one of us was looking at something in the distance, and they walk around this thing that's in front of them, and the alien is confused so they bob their head and oh, there's a thing there, but how did the human know that, and then we explain and they're like, horrified.
Humans are apex predators. They can hunt in packs. They can hunt in pairs. They can hunt on their own. They're persistance predators, which is unheard of. They get stronger when they're mad or scared. They have this thing called 'body language' which acts like a type of hivemind, even if they'll claim it isn't. And. They can see you. When you're not moving. They can still see you. If you ever find yourself in a fight against a human, for whatever reason? Run. Run as fast as you can. And hope, pray if you have a religion, that they won't follow.
OK, but what if that was the plan, and then someone broke his hydraulics? And now he just lies in the drawer, pemanently bent, but looking fresh & healthy - yet only able to bump & flump kind of like a fish - no power thrusting or balls vibrating anymore. sigh, he was so active back in the day. but not now...
so, what if your penis dies before you do (asking for a friend)?
honestly just play with your penis until you die
All hail your favorite viking!

Per Tommy Arnold's email list, there is going to be a drop of prints of his Murderbot artwork this coming Friday (May 16, 2025). You can sign up to his mailing list on his website to be notified when the orders go live.
Tommy Arnold created the covers and insert illustrations for Subterranean Press' special editions of The Murderbot Diaries and Network Effect. Additionally, he recently has been involved with the Apple TV show as a costume designer, notably for the SecUnit armor.
I haven't seen anyone else post about this in the tag or in any communities yet, but every once in a while I see folks bummed about missing his last drop when Network Effect first released. He only does limited releases, so this is your chance if the art strike's your fancy!
Text of the email after the cut.
Hey hey everybody!
We are one week out from the premiere of Murderbot on Apple TV+, and I have to admit: I'm getting pretty excited. It was such a privilege to be asked to help bring this show to life visually, and I've been hankering to see what all our effort would come to. So many skilled and wonderful people put their hearts into this!
In celebration, a new timed edition featuring 5 pieces from Subterranean Press' The Murderbot Diaries and Network Effect will be available for 72 hours (throughout release weekend). The following prints will be available from 3:00 pm EST on May 16th, until 3:00 pm EST on May 19th:
Artificial Condition - 2nd. Ed: 12x17 - $67 Rogue Protocol - 2nd. Ed: 12x17 - $67 The Murderbot Diaries, Omnibus Cover - 2nd. Ed: 12x17 - $69, and 8x11 - $39 Three Climbs The Plateau - 1st. Ed: 12x17 - $69 Network Effect, Endpapers - 1st. Ed: 12x15 - $67

As a card-carrying cloud watcher (and a dreamer of dreams) I must mention that I see a kitty face on the left side of the cloud, and its tail on the right side! What we have here is a giant Persian cloud kitty hiding on a tree top!

And now the US is turning its OWN citizens back at the Canadian borders, in case Canada helps us leave the country??

It’s all good until Jack gets jealous, but just who the hell is Janice, and wtf is she up to with Alex? Will there be fika?
I thought Jack & Diane were still together - I’m so confused… (a little story about jack & Diane - 2 American kids grow in’ up in the heartland???)

i love ground ferns and their little faces - now i must shop. there is a whole section of the back yard that we no longer want to mow. if i toss any storm debris over to that side & plant ferns & sow some fun spores near the wall, we could have a mini wooded walk in less than a year! it is a plan!

That tree has a belly button! Wait - oh, gods! Someone has carved the feet and ankles of a dragon near the belly button tree!

Psst. Writer. Write that idea down. Yeah, it’ll stay in your brain forever and all, but it won’t. Write it down.
Sooooo, small note here: 238 is a valid Canadian area code, and 776 is a valid exchange. We seem to be missing a digit.
Shall we play a game???
Well, today was apparently a good day for Alex...
