I have client work that I really need to finish this week, but all I want to do is draw anti-fascist fanart because it feels like it’s literally the only thing I can do to fight the tidal wave of authoritarianism on my feeds. I may need to just log off for the week to get this done. I hate that.

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.

I don’t know if a lot of “straight” guys are ready to hear this… but if you had a feeling of emotional overwhelm watching the last two episodes of Heated Rivalry S1, you’re not straight. I’m not saying you’re gay… but sexuality is not a binary. I’ll leave you to unpack that yourselves.

Getting sick of waiting for Americans to realize they’re not on the brink of civil war… it’s already started… but only one side is fighting.

*Predator Howling Intensifies*

The man who is only restrained by his own morality has the morality of a mobster.

I never get up to go to the washroom in the middle of a movie unless I absolutely have to… but Zootopia 2 is so needlessly exhausting that I welcome the opportunity to take a break from it.

This is the solarpunk futurism I’m here for. (I know not technically solar, but still)

Just watched Predator Badlands with the whole family. It is officially 6 & 9 year old approved. Crystal liked it as well. It’s a Predator film for the whole clan!

Me: It’s fucking weird that Disney is so obsessed with getting money from the alt-right Star Wars crowd that they’ll tank the rest of the property for it Everyone: You’re imagining things. That sounds like a conspiracy theory. Disney: How are sales on the Imperial Loyalist phone cases going?

I don’t know how to say it any clearer. FUCK ICE. I was radicalized in the early 90’s when a bunch of misfits and outcasts showed me what it means to stand up to tyranny and fight for what’s right. What is happening in the world right now is evil, plain and simple. Magneto was right.

I was born to be an Ernie, but this world is forcing me to be a Bert.

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

Conservatives have been saying for years that when the people fear the government, there is tyranny and when the government fears the people, there is liberty. None of them appear to have actually internalized that message.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

As a Canadian, legit question for Americans: where’s that well-regulated militia you guys are always going on and on about? Seems like it would be a good thing to help sort out all this government tyranny you seem to be dealing with.

One of my faves of 2025 is now available on digital. Go watch it if you missed it. It’s so fucking good.

Some of you fuckers are allergic to a good time and I’ll never understand it.

the things we love

25 years I’ve been waiting to see Slim in the blue and yellow. Longer, really, since I’ve wanted it since the animated series.

One positive thing I’ll say about AI is it’s so awful that now I can do a pretty mediocre photoshop and it looks fine. It’s still better than some AI slop.

“Just as wealth is no longer measured by the ostentation of wealth but by the secret circulation of speculative capital, so war is not measured by being waged but by its speculative unfolding in an abstract, electronic and informational space, the same space in which capital moves.”

now more than ever:

I don’t know why anyone would admit to using AI. It’s like trying to pass off a microwave pizza as the real deal, only you’re bragging about how good you put the numbers into the microwave panel like that’s some sort of skill. It’s embarrassing. You should be embarrassed.

I mean…

This was just meant my for little circle of friends to see and nod along. But I guess I struck a chord with some folks.

I just want to make stupid art, play games, and spend time with my loved ones. I don’t want to have to learn why these things are happening and what I’m supposed to do to help stop it. This world is bullshit.

I don’t even have words for what is happening in the world right now. I am not educated enough, or smart enough to know what to do next. All I know is that it just keeps getting worse and the people with power keep “letting” it happen. Something has to change. And soon.

I fucking love the way Stranger Things ended. The Duffer Bros. literally said, “IDK… your fanfic is just as valid as our show. You decide.” But they said it in such a poignant, meaningful way. 10/10 for me.

Is Jurassic Park the best movie of all time? I think it might be.

You guys, I solved it. I solved the male loneliness epidemic. It’s real easy. Two steps: 1) Give your homies a little kiss on the cheek. 2) Treat women like human beings that deserve respect, because they are and do. That’s it. For real. This isn’t satire. I’m not being facetious. I’m serious.

Finally got to watch Wake Up Dead Man last night. @rianjohnson.bsky.social remains an absolute genius for a variety of reasons, but chief among them his ability to cast the best of the best and get the most sublime and surprising performances out of them. 10/10. No notes.

It’s rad that even at 40 I can have a bad dream that wakes me up in the middle of the night and makes it difficult to get back to sleep. Stay young at heart, guys!

Perfect plan

Gilmore Girls is actually quite terrible. The writing is more obnoxiously self-obsessed than a Tarantino film, and most of the performances are community theatre level at best. It’s not Gilmore Girls that was successful. It was Lauren Graham, carrying that shit on her own season after season.

Aw hell yeah!

Also, you can’t tell, because I’m really good at my job, but I photoshopped the heck out of this album art in order to get it to fit nicely with Michael Caine, all the Muppets, and that logo.

Somehow @87zoolemons.bsky.social and just fell backwards into an ongoing series of Christmas movies on Perfect Ten. What should we cover next year?

Hey, fellow men, it’s become ridiculously apparent this Christmas that most of you are not pulling your weight in regards to the holiday workload. Get your shit together. You’re making the rest of us look bad and I’m sick of these TikToks.

ppl come to bsky and be like "gee it sure is boring around here!" my boy, this peace is what all true warriors strive for.
