Hell yeah now we're talking

Big Shannon & the Clams fan over here, and even I can't believe how much I love this song.

The New York Times continues to prove itself to be a conservative propaganda machine wearing a "progressive" hat.

Carla just described a song as sounding like "music I'd hear at a store".

I know I'm 45 because the most upsetting part of the movie Weapons (which ruled) was watching the little kid struggling to use a can opener.

Uh Oh, I can feel another Ramones hyperfixation period coming on. (I'm not mad about it)

I don't want to brag, but when you order enamel pins from my shop (no US orders still, sorry) this tiny pizza box is what they ship in (inside an envelope).

Working on a huge book project that involves drawing like, a million different things. One of those things is the oldest cat who ever lived, and the reference image I was given, after a quick bit of research, is straight up a fully different cat!

Niche post but "Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie" ruled so much more than I expected it to, and frankly I expected it to rule.

Carla went to the paint shop to get some paint mixed, & the person working asked her about the Peace Worm pin on her jacket. Then asked "Wait is it wearing a hat?!" So she said "My husband makes them, & sells them on his website" to which this awesome person replied "WHERE IS THIS FUCKING WEBSITE?!"

My new way of shipping enamel pins (within Canada) involves these small boxes designed to fit as lettermail that look exactly like tiny pizza boxes, and I'm really into em.

@billmckibben.bsky.social says although “this is as dark a moment as there's ever been in our democracy,” a surge in renewable energy is an "untold story" with huge potential. "It's so big and so good that it might help with both the climate and the authoritarianism crisis.”

Trying to convince my dad to go see the second Jonathan Richman show with me.

You might think there's only so far you can go in terms of soft-boiling an egg wrong but you probably didn't consider "grenade egg" as an option and neither did I until just now.

Check your books against libgen if you can and are able. Bankrupt these mfers

in a Neil Young voice to my kitten as he inspects random objects in my room: 🎶small cat take a look at my stuff🎶

Nobody 2 is pretty fun but the best thing about it is that there's a very silly 25 minute section where it basically turns into Home Alone with weapons.

I keep texting Carla a pizza emoji. Crossing my fingers that my subliminal influence campaign is successful.

Hello, I opened up and repaired our couch which had a side rail of the interior frame collapse, and I hate to tell you this but I'm so close to becoming unstoppable.

I've had a few people ask me about this Big Suit (So Making Sense) pin recently, which I'm sold out of. Keeping in mind that at the moment I'm not shipping to the US, should I make more of these? (I'm still looking into options for shipping small things lettermail to the US if possible)

Decided to go full middle-aged hobby-guy and bought a diamond sharpening stone & strop so I can learn to hand-sharpen our knives. I promise not to get weird about it.

In a hundred years, if we survive to write about it, historians will look back on this period as a snake oil boom for AI while fascism burned everything down.

Watched Alien Romulus last night and it was fun, but I can't stop laughing about how much the human-xenomorph hybrid looked like it was designed by the Chris (Simpsons Artist) guy.

"If you're not finding ways to bring the planet-burning, art-stealing, mistake-riddled fascism machine into your workflow, you're going to get left behind."

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

The thing that rules about karaoke is that you can be amazing at it by being a good singer, a bad singer, or a non-singer as long as you approach it right. The only way to be truly bad at karaoke is to come at it like you're going to "win".

My favourite part of the Descendents show was Milo's studded leather water bottle holster.

A funny "artist-only" phenomenon is that whenever we have anyone over who's not an artist, or not at least culturally "artsy", they almost without fail assume that I made every single piece of art on every single wall of our house. Which also makes me wonder if they think I'm a narcissist.

It's so cool that we're burning the planet so that we can have great stuff like, when I watch something on YouTube, I get an ad featuring an obviously AI generated video of Canada's prime minister telling me to click the link for an exciting & totally legitimate AI-related opportunity for canadians.

I have an extremely exciting job update/announcement to share at some point in the next few months but I can say this: It's really really good and I'm super psyched. ✨

Well, I've accidentally listened to 6 Beatles albums so far today, so it looks like it's time for my yearly hyperfixation, may as well get this show on the road so I can hopefully avoid driving Carla completely bonkers.

Love to make a silly post about how sometimes my air purifier turns on when i walk past & then get inundated w replies either suggesting I must stink or explaining the concepts of dust or air to me. 🙃

We have an air purifier thats set to run whenever it detects lower air quality including from things like cooking, smoke, etc. But occasionally I'll just walk past it & it immediately powers up full blast, & i don't think a machine should be allowed to roast you in your own home like that.

Carla & I were just listing the different genres of songwriting & they are: I'm Sad. I'm The Best. I'm Horny. I'm The Worst. & I'm Totally Psycho Get A Load Of Me.

I switched the direction of the door on our washing machine all by myself, I have become more powerful than you can imagine.

"Tempted By Clutter" is the name of my memoir.

My toxic trait is that I absolutely will eat a shocking number of things well past the expiration date "just to see".

Just described the illustration style I've been gravitating toward as "Little Golden Punk".

I'm sorry but this guy is a classic example of a guy who's "smart" in one very specific, often totally uncritical way, who thinks he's a genius and has convinced many other people he's a genius, but on balance is actually unbelievably dumb.

re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.

Looking at references & sketching character concepts of various animals for an upcoming book project, and folks, rhinos are absolutely insane. Like, did a wizard cast a spell on a boulder or something? Every part of their face looks like it's in the wrong place. Who approved this?

My phone has this cool feature, where any time an automatic, province-wide emergency alert is issued, I receive it on my phone, and then almost immediately I receive a screenshot of the very same alert from my former neighbour, who apparently thinks I either don't get them, or don't read them?

They should invent a supplementary ADHD medication that helps you remember to take your ADHD medication.

I am once again asking for your strength and support in refraining from buying these haunted boys.

The lady at the bank asked me where the cash came from (which is kind of a weird question, right?) and then lit up with genuine delight when I said "a craft fair". "I've never gotten to click that one before! And look how well you did! That's wonderful!"

My subway take is that almost all famous people who go on subway takes have extremely boring takes.

My sister's visiting from Texas, so the whole family went to PEI and literally the very first thing I did was gluten myself at a restaurant. Exciting night ahead!

MaxFun fans may recognize this kitty; people of superior taste everywhere will want one for their very own. Friend of the network @paulghammond.bsky.social has got you covered: paulghammond.bigcartel.com/product/no-b...

Managed to cut the shit out of my finger by.. [checks notes] .. replacing the screen in a sliding screen door?
