My coworker that now shares the room with me felt the need to move my stuff around on my desk and if she does it again I’m gonna cut her hands off.

We are losing something by having newsrooms where everyone who has more than a few years’ experience has gotten fired. I don’t fault a young writer for not knowing about things that happened before she was born. But now there are no editors to help give context to these stories, either.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Work update, nobody died. My boss may have busted his knee though. So it goes.

There is not gonna be enough tact in the world for me to survive what I'm about to walk into at work today. If I manage to not yell "YOU STUPID FUCKS" it'll be a miracle.

ok we are definitely dead and in hell

It’s official: EA is going private. The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years. www.businesswire.com/news/home/20...

Quick, anybody got that EA cartoon edited yet?

My office is in a state of physical limbo. Half in one place and half in the other. I think I may just stay home today.

My old 16-page comic where Frasier meets Columbo can be read on my website: joechouinard.com/columbo

People continue to invent justification as to why cats don't actually love or care about you. Strange how deference to a constructed social hierarchy as with dogs is seen as the only kind of 'real love' and the loose, but pro-social colony structure of domestic cats is not acknowledged.

And that's how you integrate digital elements into an exhibition. Part of the temporary "China's Dinosaur World" at the Shanghai Natural History Museum, China. Closing this November. Video source: Shanghai Let's Meet

Well don't I feel stupid

I can't thank enough all the animators on this project for bringing my little dog to life. A lot of indie animators whose work I follow and love a whole lot too! I knew what was coming, but the final product is still leaving me speechless. Thank you to all who worked on this! YOURE THE BEST

BOSTON! Raina and I are coming your way in December—for MICE!

Sigh.

Oh my god, it’s her! From the Modern Lovers song

I honestly don't think everyone talks enough about how amazing it was when the world came together to fix the hole in the ozone layer, so I wrote this: everythingisamazing.substack.com/p/lets-all-r... It's a good reminder of what we're capable of.

Forget everything you already know about America's most notorious dead person. Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile is in select theaters October 2.

I dreamt there was a sitcom from the 80s staring Cyndi Lauper that was about living with a bunch of other girls in a 80s punk artist collective that was also extremely x rated in covering like, sex, drugs, poverty, homelessness but like… everything was neon and fun. It had famous guest stars.

It’s time to announce the guests for MICE 2025! Keezy Young is an award-winning and Eisner and Ignatz-nominated cartoonist and illustrator who writes and draws comics and graphic novels.

Another @trueref.bsky.social Hornet doodle. Drawing Hornet is a real head empty, zen activity right now. I'm not sure about these new Procreate brushes but I'll figure out a workflow eventually.

Man… if they take me apart at the neck one day, y’all gotta make sure my memorial video gets more that 26,000 views. Idc how, like, even if you just put some greatest hits in there, like when we won PUBG the first time or that time I stunted on Jaden Smith without realizing it.

Got my boosters yesterday morning and at 9pm I’m like, ”hey, still feeling pretty good…” then at 11pm it felt like someone dropped a wall on me. Current status is sore, but no low grade fever… must have slept that off.

Kat is still out there fighting four hours after this. I'm just fucking livid.

A beautiful piece from @nicoleclark.bsky.social about a game that beats the shit out of us, has cruel difficulty spikes, and takes as much as it gives. Yet we still love to play it. Life Ohhhhh you thought I was talking about Silksong. I see how that's confusing.

As someone who worked at a Nexstar station, this would be a 5 alarm all hands on deck fire for even one account

A pitch for those of you canceling Disney+/Hulu this week would be to use that cash and subscribe to PBS/PBS Passport. Public media is foundational to our democracy and supporting @pbs.org is just about the best value for your dollar. Plus, there are so many British mysteries!!!

HANG IN THERE BABY!! #art

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Hey, uh, Michigan residents - you might wanna call your reps about this. If it passes, it's going to make pretty much every anime site - from AH, to AniFem, to Okazu, to Anime News Network, largely banned, as we all cover queer media, whether it's essays about yuri, or discussions on Bravern.

Travis over there going “fuck it, I’m gonna give the furries everything they want.”
