Hey Fediverse, I need to create some vaporwave-esque images for a project. What's the easiest software for creating the classic "mirrored sphere above a checkerboard surface" image?

Godwin's second law (politics, NSFW language):

Just gonna start referring to everyone that was in Mystery Men as “that person from Mystery Men?”

Step back in time to 1914 and visit The Shepherd's Stronghold atop a majestic mountain in Second Life.

If you have renounced a dishonorable position, have abandoned a previous harmful stance, that is to be commended. But the journey does not end there. Remember that though your following days are over, now you must follow through.

In 1916, 23 yr old chemist Alice Ball discovered a breakthrough in treatment for Leprosy (Hansen’s Disease). She was the 1st woman & 1st Black chemistry professor at UHawaii.

Tragically, Ball passed away months after her discovery due to complications from a lab accident.

What happened next? Arthur Dean, head of her dept, continued the work publishing Ball’s process as “Dean’s method.”

Fortunately, a colleague spoke up & the name was changed to “Ball’s method.” #HistoryRemix #science #history
