This book of comics by the painter Ad Reinhardt has been out of print for years and I was just about to bite the bullet and buy an overpriced copy on eBay…but it suddenly popped up again on the publisher’s website. Still a first printing so maybe they found an old box of books in the warehouse?!

my book Green Eggs And Ham Take a Hike was the #2 best-selling book of 2025 at The Underground Yarn and Books in Hershey, PA. (And the #1 was a series with multiple titles, so maybe I was the REAL #1 haha.) www.instagram.com/reels/DTjY61...

Another good morning drawing for my fam bam

Draw with bold confidence. You can actually learn to fake this. If you draw like nothing matters you end up with a drawing that really matters.

I can’t believe my good luck, reading these two amazing books back to back. Exiles by Mason Coile There Is no Anti-Memetics Division by QNTM (pronounced Quantum)

Me and Amy got whiskies at the neighborhood dive bar just so we could say NO ICE

Des Demonas set list ...these are NOT the songs they played. The singer likes to do a thing where he makes fake set lists, his friend told me. Great band! Singer is a real good artist too. des-demonas.bandcamp.com

Goddamn genius at work on drums. Rough Francis at Radio Bean.

Des Demonas at Radio Bean were goddamn awesome

my friend Lenny, from my High School band Divot Head, performed on this album of music composed for bicycles: Travelon Gamelon Lenny tragically passed away decades ago, but I still love him. Lenny was a chosen name, not his legal name, and it fit him well. richardlerman.bandcamp.com/album/travel...

I thought I was using leftover chicken fat but it was actually a leftover tin of oysters so I just made BEEF AND OYSTER CURRY (Click alt text for more info)

HELP! I have 2741 song demos saved in Voice Memos on my iPhone. Is there ANY way to move them en masse to my computer instead of dragging them one by one?

Yesterday I posted this where I thought John would likely see it today.

It’s impossible to “just follow orders” if one ice agent says “move your car” and another one says “open your door”…those orders are in conflict. Follow one agent’s orders and the other will shoot you in the face for not following his.

First week back, been offering Storytime voting for either of two of my all-time fave #ReadAloud books. In this @sartoriallibrary.bsky.social episode, I talk about why Dragon Puncher is just the absolute best…rec read it w/ accompanying wooden spoon bsky.app/profile/sart... @kochalka.bsky.social
