He's been chilling in his supervillain lair, planning his next big job
Looking for recommendations
I found myself listening to the same like eight or nine songs everyday, and I want to branch out more. I like artists like DOOM, Nas, Aesop Rock, Brother Ali, JID, Jarv, Homeboy Sandman, Mayhem Lauren, Little Simz and Westside Gunn. Anybody know anything good I can try?
I noticed a lot of companies (Coates for example) make their charcoal out of willow and I always liked those companies because they're really smooth and dark. A couple of weeks ago the willow tree in my back yard lost a branch so I broke it up into pencil-sized pieces and used TKOR'S paint can method for making charcoal. It was super easy and once everything cooled down I wrapped my favorite ones in painters tape and put the rest in a box! Here's a pic of the ones I used to draw that. I think the different shapes they came out in gave me a cool variety of different tools but I should have straightened some of them out when I was drying the branch.
This is the result of my first attempt at making my own charcoal to draw with and I couldn't be happier. Leucistic Curtains by L. Lamm (me) Charcoal, 2024

I was surprised to see people don't do it more here. Lemmy has such a knowledgeable and supportive community and it's such a good place to go for honest constructive feedback
Thank you! I think this piece took me like four hours. And definitely give it a go! I forgot how much fun it is to work with

Let's also not forget Lateral, which he said he'll still be doing and is quickly becoming my favorite podcast!
I watched one episode of Huberman Lab and the next day my entire feed was Lex and Joe. Then I watched like ten more episodes of Huberman Lab and it went back to normal
Edit: I did like the Lex episode where he sparred with Mark Zuckerberg though that was cool
Holy crap you're right. I like it better in both of those orientations. Art is crazy because you can spend hours every day painting something before someone makes you realize you've been holding it upside down the whole time
That image got really dark when I uploaded it, here's a screenshot of it for better colors
"In December 2018, The Tampa Bay Times reported that the guitarist had called relatives speaking about extraterrestrials arriving and "the rapture," before his house burned down. As the headline states, the investigators found 80 firearms (50 of which were shotguns), weapon parts, and the three skulls. O'Brien had broken into a neighbor's home with a knife, where he was later tased by an officer. His house caught fire shortly after, and explosions caused by ammunition made it difficult for firefighters to put out the fire."
He had, indeed, committed a crime. Not a gun (or presumably skull) related crime, but a crime nonetheless.
Looks like they were found during an investigation after his house burned down.
How to politely tell a family member I'm not worried about the second coming of Christ?
My aunt is a wonderful lady, but she's very gullible. Thanks to a video she saw on Facebook, she now believes the conflict in Israel is a sign of the end times and is deeply concerned for my immortal soul. How do I politely let her know that while I appreciate her concern I have no real reason to believe that the Israeli government commiting war crimes against Palestine is going to bring about the second coming of Christ?
Hate to say it but it's actually pretty good, got real high and watched all it in one night
