You wanna read something scary, the nspm 7 that the White House signed has some rather jarring declaration of what is classified as domestic terrorism. Based on this vague and scary verbiage, if you make fun of Tradwives you can be listed as a domestic terrorist… www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I’m sorry, I’m being horribly unproductive today because I keep seeing Pam Bondi dodge interview questions and I can feel my blood boiling in my veins with the ignorance

If you use tax records to arrest it wasn’t about not paying taxes. You go to a place of employment? it wasn’t about not working. Courthouse? Then it wasn’t about “doing it the right way”. No due process? Wasn’t about the constitution. Taking children? Then it wasn’t about bad hombres.

The first person to ever toss a seal a large red ball had to have had their minds blown.

Super honored to be nominated for the title of Best Arts + Cultural Community Leader in the 2025 City Magazine best of ROC event.

I have never seen Napoleon Dynamite… And I don’t like Big Bang Theory… like at all. Can’t even make it through an episode.

Decided to go back to get through the 2020 reboot of the Animaniacs. I loved the original season & wanted to like this so much. It’s pretty good, but it has so much Ren & Stimpy in it that it doesn’t land in the Warner Bro/merry melody tone. The Gross-ups & disgusting aspects are most noticeable. 😕

Spent the day getting some work off my plate, but not enough. Ended up getting a bunch of messages and visits from friends who are not doing well, with either finances, health, or family… While it was great to be there for them, and I’m happy I could be… wow, I’m completely drained of energy.

Something I must say, our national security for the U.S. is impressive; as a room full of our top military, SecDef, and President went off without any incident… especially considering they published the date, time, & location in advance… For any enemies, that would have been a prime target.

It's getting weird in Portland. (Weirdly authoritarian, thanks to the Trump regime.) My latest cartoon on Pepperspectives. @davidpepperoh.bsky.social davidpepper.substack.com/p/portland-a...

Watching the video of Trump and Hegseth talk to the top military folks and the silence is so loud you could hear a squeaky tank roll by.

To the military top brass that looked at Hegseth and Trump like morons, who didn’t applaud, and saw through the fact they were being used as a prop and optics for a power grab and false war on your fellow citizens… You are true Americans.

People in Texas are having their dams run dry from the drought, and listening to people saying not to worry “the rains always come” don’t know they in the Arabian desert you can find hippo skeletons that man used to hunt when he first got there. Sometimes, my friend, the rain doesn’t come…

We out here.. Downtown Rochester NY.. My work is still up with ✌🏽

I have a father that little kids always just migrate to and chat with. Happily enough it seems to be genetic, as my friends’ little non-verbal guy came up and sat in my lap & show me his book/toys. I didn’t realize it, but apparently he only does this w/ parents & grandma. 💕 I feel pretty honored.

No spoilers to Alien Earth, but I finished this season & feel like this was a completely different script that they wedged the Alien concept/IP into. The movies & this show has focused on the synthetic human dynamic, & pushed the alien to side character/pet. Hardly any payoff. Score: 5 out of 10.

I do not condone decorations like this. No matter what your views are, having Halloween decorations depicting hanging your fellow Americans is disgusting. This is what the power hungry 🍊 goon squad wants people to do. To be aggressive, use force, etc. don’t play into their hands.

Today was national daughters day, & there are a bunch of guys that I know that have some pseudo-daughters in their lives. I have one & she’s pretty awesome. Happy she’s in my life, homored she calls to chat & keeps in touch. Proud as I can be for this little weirdo that calls me pseudo-dad.

Make sure to check on your entrepreneurial friends. This past week there were multiple art shows & events, while turn out was good, nearly everyone I spoke to had done a quarter to a third of their expected sales.😢 Daily I hear from friends/former colleagues struggling & looking for work.

In 2020 I had money and people were buying things from me.

A Fox News host literally said that we should bomb/gas the UN because someone stopped an escalator and messed with the teleprompter on Trump. So, literally most of the counties of the world delegates, and also on US soil of NY. It’s stupid thing to say on the air and cringey kissing ass of 🍊

friends from other countries have sent me so many messages after the world shared out Trumps inane ramble at the UN. it's making the rounds on the news and they are saying how absolutely horrible, stupid, and really pathetic the US has become. siiiiigh, I miss having a real decent president.

I tell ya, since having covid, the average illness/flu is hitting me differently. Having lung problems linger for weeks. Still contending with brain fog and fevers when I run out of steam. Ugh.

People can have their heroes. And I am fine if people don’t adopt them. Seeing all these banners in real life of Kirk is as bothersome as a non-sports fan seeing how fanatical some people are with their favorite quarterback. I know the comparisons isn’t at all equal, but the fanaticism can be.

“A reporter who publishes only what the government ‘authorizes’ is doing something other than reporting.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

ugh... Posted a thing quoting the Constitution & a 1969 Supreme Court case today on social & the weird dialog happening to me in direct messages is astounding. Mostly civil on the post, but really weird faceless avatars in the DMs. Pretty much assume it's bots or russians.

I’m really starting to feel like humanity needs to shift away from the dangerous pendulum-style swing of left and right framing of human ideologies, and realize it’s more of spokes on a wheel all coming out from the same core fundamental human experiences.

Fearful Americans Stockpiling Facts Before Federal Government Comes To Take Them Away https://theonion.com/fearful-americans-stockpiling-facts-before-federal-gove-1819579589/

The mental gymnastics people are going through to explain why some people should be silenced and others are justified in their constitutional free speech is both impressive and repugnant.

Bluesky pals! I have a sci-fi graphic novel called DRIVE, & it's my favorite thing I've ever done! If you need a long, escapist read at the moment the entire thing is free to read, here: drivecomic.com (THIS PAGE: The Summoning )

Since there seems to be a Martyr Marketing campaign being built over Kirk, figured folks might be interested in Horst Wessel’s propaganda posters that Nazi created when they needed a martyr hero. The graphic designer in me is curious on if designs might inadvertently be similar. 🧵 1/X

If you pretend electric cars are the established car tech & there’s this “new” gas engine that folks are trying to sell you on, it’s hilarious how absurd gas is. Let‘s play this game, where I try to sell you on the new “internal combustion engine”! (1 of 3)

Worked late nights to get projects done & was hoping to get so much more done this week… Instead… Hit w/ the worst chest cold (non-covid) & fever. Lost most of the week. Hosted a panel for the talented Guy Gilchrist & schmoozed at FC3 it took all my energy. Need to keep moving this is my busy season

I legit appreciate friends that sit, talk & discuss a topic. A friend from the Midwest wrote me asking about anti-CK rhetoric & they knew I’d discuss it calmly. They only saw the good videos. When I showed her what I was exposed to she was flabbergasted. This isn’t mine but same experience:

One of the greatest thing I ever did was to realize the point in which I could say “just let them have that” & wave my hands at the stuff the next generation was into. I actually did this with Pokemon, that’s how old I am. But it’s been solid for my mental health & interactions w/ other gens since.

I’m surprised there hasn’t been a single “lone wolf” sentiment here.

I can actually say that I have become weary w/ this world this week.

argument w/ a guy on FB (shocking)… But when a light brown colored man with the last name Suarez claims that if he was younger he would sign up for ICE for free just really framed how removed he was from reality. He said I was the devil, that the left were murderers & evil and need to go. Block.

Marvel is moving their whole thing to the UK, one of the reasons… health insurance! Having to have employer covered health insurance was a strain, & since nearly every other country has it, they picked one that offered tax savings & cheaper labor. The US needs to do better.

A glimpse into my studio. Expect some mountain lion reports at the fringe fest. #rawrchester

Since this current administration has started, my use of the word “inane” has skyrocketed.

I have a grumpy friend that routinely chats about his trips & how amazing to meet so many friendly people everywhere but here… saying how he hates ROC. My dude, you’re just happy when you travel, & miserable at work/home. New person/place energy is real… Live there for a decade & get back to me. 😂

Friends in DC are telling me that they are making national guard do landscaping since they fired all the one they hired or chased off the contractors with fear of ICE deportation. The cost of this has to be stupid high, and imagine being called a National Guardener by passersby. Hah.

Making art outside to get the most out of summer nights.

My heart breaks into 10,000 pieces once again.

It's crazy that I see more footage on Republican's messing with the ballots and faking election results in UK and Indian news than anything in america... www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

One thing I now have in my life is a desire for Indian breakfast. Something I haven’t been able to really find. Mentally I’m here: sitting on a rooftop in Mumbai enjoying delicious breakfast of things I have no idea what they were called. Soaking up the sun as I escaped subzero NY January temps.

I don’t see this on the news, but there has been a significant jump in suicides in the farming community nationwide. Bankruptcies have skyrocketed and there are a lot of people hurting with the losses of their family farms. My heart goes out to so many farming communities across the U.S.

Everything about this moment would be slightly more tolerable if I had any disposable income.
