Just doing my part of boost the Streisand Effect. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiTJ...

Between things like Vertigo coming back and this, it's hard to not want to get back to doing comics again.

If you don't get the religiousity ick, & you need a pick-me-up, you could watch the Washington cathedral in DC receiving the Buddhist monks at the end of their 2300mi Walk for Peace earlier today. Been unambiguously wholesome to watch the local responses as they've moved through the South lately.

Please consider helping my pal and collaborator, writer Paul Allor. www.gofundme.com/f/help-paul-...

Are you a fan of Jem and the Holograms? GI Joe? James Bond? Check out LASER JOAN AND THE RAYGUNS, a 24 page comic collecting three Dark Horse Presents stories by @adampknave.com, @robertwilsoniv.bsky.social, @jordantboyd.bsky.social, @gofrankgo.bsky.social, & me! www.kickstarter.com/projects/548...

Mad I didn't get a picture of the sundogs that were visible around the sun this morning. Only ever seen them once before, but the same "welp, we're in a Doctor Who episode & the Earth is being kidnapped" thoughts arose in head. Worth a Google image search if you don't know what I'm yapping about.

🚨 There's a NEW item on the Dropout Store! A reminder from Brennan: laws are threats created by a dominant socio-economic group. And what better way to remember this, than on a t-shirt to wear close to the chest.

10yrs ago @djkirkbride.bsky.social @robertwilsoniv.bsky.social @gofrankgo.bsky.social @jordantboyd.bsky.social & I did a 3 part Dark Horse Presents story about a rock band that were also spies. It's never been collected. UNTIL NOW! LASER JOAN & THE RAYGUNS. Prelaunch starts now! Go sign up!

Still contemplating a Sinners/Oh Brother Where Art Thou double feature some lazy afternoon when leisure doesn’t feel so distant and difficult.

After spending 7hrs snow blowing, shoveling, and salting yesterday with the promise of no more precipitation this week, I ask: WHY THE FUCK IS IT SNOWING AGAIN?

The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.

Bad-looking blockbuster cinema is quickly radicalizing me toward becoming a filmmaker again.

Mark Carney's speech is now only the second most acute analysis of where the world is at right now:

moral arc right to repair

In the future all social and political issues will be decided by dueling GoFundMes, in the ultimate expression of American values.

When I say that Christians against Christian Nationalism as a sustained movement is the secret sauce to getting out of this mess, this what that could look like…

I know this is corny to say but this is the real America, man. This is what it’s all about. This is what those freaks are trying to destroy & we won’t let them

When do we hear about a non-profit entirely devoted to building a daily piss-drop drone lottery for his eventual grave site? Proceeds go to charity. A "win-win-win" as Michael Scott might say.

Won't repost directly b/c it's footage of a murder, but some folks at @bellingcat.com have reconstructed (accurately, I believe) the placement of the feds involved in today's shooting on overhead satellite imagery of the street. Worthwhile visual aid when the shooter is prosecuted, hopefully.

Only tangentially aware that a segment of Stranger Things viewers have gone full Qanon-level whackadoo and already really tired of hearing about it.

Anyone else have the urge to write a DnD one-shot for the express purpose of having an NPC give a Benoit Blanc monologue?

So, I think a double feature of They Will Kill You and Send Help sometime in February might have to be a thing or is that going to be too much catharsis for one day? Would neatly continue my "consequences for people who suck" watch streak, for sure...

What’s next, some more evil shit that sucks and can’t be ignored

Just to add something positive to everyone's infinite doomscroll, I offer this: if, like me, you've gone your whole life without ever trying a dirty chai latte then you should change that. Had my first one ever last week and have made one with oatmilk every day since. Strongly recommended.

you don't need to add caveats agreeing that the head of state abducted is a bad guy before opposing abduction of a head of state by military force. If the rule was any head of government is fair game then the entire world would be a series of decapitation strikes and show trials in foreign courts.

FYI: the Sarah Schachner & Benjamin Wallfisch score for Predator: Badlands is weird and rad and makes for great get-shit-done background music.

Re-posting this because I saw how the saturation looked on another monitor and almost threw up. Drawn in Procreate, colored in Photoshop.

When your house hippo is cold.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Fever-riddled me drew this in Procreate the other day and sleepless Mucinex me colored it in Photoshop. Not for anything in particular, but it felt good to actually draw and color something start to finish for once...

Of all the creative and technical skills I possess, many involving spatial reasoning, somehow I have to completely relearn how to wrap presents every year.

Whether you're a STAR WARS fan or just a model builder, this new X-wing deep dive is outstanding. @ilmvfx.bsky.social www.ilm.com/how-to-build...

Very sick, watching recent (presumably) mid-tier movies I missed: The Amateur - veers to safer waters every time it almost takes an interesting turn Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare: no real tension despite lots of plot complications but basically swaggers its way to being fun anyway.

Something uniquely dystopian about the Minute Clinic when the iPad check-in thing isn’t working, the waiting room is full, and all the many regular shoppers in the CVS are all hacking up lungs.

Could not be more psyched to see this news!

Hard to overstate how much your relationship to American Christianity will affect your take on the new Knives Out. I'm a long-time exvangelical still working through a lot of religous trauma, and I still found it affecting, but everyone's mileage will vary.

Should get out and shovel snow, but decided to doodle a zombie instead. I forget how much I enjoy Procreate.

Bro made his own 16mm motion picture camera. Definitely one of the coolest things I've seen all year, and a better explanation of how cameras work than I even got in film school. youtu.be/ZAtYJYfV2nA?...

My flow state when having to write code requires German YouTube DJ streams thumping at illegal BPM's. You know: Hackers (1995) shit.

Hell yeah.

Get their views about Kyle Rittenhouse on the record too, while you're at it. You know...for posterity.

We accidentally got smart home bulbs that have default physical-light-switch-based behaviors that are as inscrutable as they are stupid. Oh, and they can't be altered in favor of default, ya know...light switch behavior? I fear a beast inside me has been roused and may never know slumber again...

Netflix pretty much openly despises cinema as a medium so this is bad news all around, even beyond the basic “gee, seems like this ought to be nixed on the most basic anti-trust grounds imaginable.”

Working on a thought-tool called "stupid drunk guy in a bar". Works like this: If the take you're responding to is essentially being mumbled by a clearly very stupid drunk guy in the bar you're at, is it worth starting a big public discussion with him?

Guys, I don't know if I'd emotionally be okay if I was in any of these auditoriums and cathedrals while Anna Lapwood plays LOTR arrangements on some of the biggest pipe organs in the world. www.tiktok.com/@annalapwood...

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

At first you're like, why does this have a wiki page Then you find out it might be the best wiki page ever
