600+ people still showed up for Legal Observers training in Minneapolis tonight. In addition to those currently on patrol. This minute. While the vigil is happening in South Mpls.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Every day is like the parable about the man on the deserted island refusing to be saved by boat, helicopter etc because he's waiting for God's help, but it's about any Democrat with a backbone and an iota of charisma being offered the chance to become the next president by simply describing reality.

It's Epiphany, which means it's time for Cuddling Kings in Medieval art

Echoing this to say that $1 a month to a creator whose work you like is equivalent to easily a thousand ad-supported views on their videos. Even a little bit of support makes a hugely outsized difference - pick your favourites and support where you can.

Today on SOLRAD, we feature an essay by Logan Phillips which examines how comic books, once disposable pulp printed on the cheapest paper, have become some of America’s most carefully preserved historical objects. T solrad.co/holding-hist...

Heyyyyy who would like to read an extremely good comic involving androids and space travel and religion; if that’s you then I think Testament by @jmarshallsmith.bsky.social would be your thing and you should snap up a copy www.bulgilhanpress.com/store/p/test...

A touching tribute to Mike F

Mike Mignola had done sporadic fill-in work for Marvel over the years, but seeing him appear as a guest artist in Liefeld's X-Force run a year before he'd launch Hellboy is still a trip.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding one constructive real world offline thing you can do to use your particular skills in service of fighting fascism as a psychological defense against the constant drumbeat of fuckery

I saw the best minds of my generation use stale reference manipulation to bypass the loading zone and skip a cutscene to save 0.3 seconds

I did not have “the new generation of furry artists is really into midcentury aesthetics” on my bingo card but I am absolutely here for it

I wanted to see how I would draw Big Finn these days. God bless.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

they're doing it for gender, imo

so it’s going well then

I am once again reaching for the poem (Fck The Beliefs, @saulwilliams.bsky.social )

Looking at some behind the scenes sketches from Testament for a interview. I still love this drawing of Sister Judith

In hindsight I fear this quote may have been the most definitive analysis of the vibe shift in my lifetime. It was mocked relentlessly in 2004, but almost every single person in national politics and media now accepts this framing. The strong do what they want; the weak trail behind them yapping

some identify publicly with the left because they hate oppression, others because they hate being oppressed. things will make more sense when you keep in mind that these are not the same - or even similar

Ask not what your representative will do for you (nothing), ask how you can make your representative so miserable they quit their job

if anything, anime girl figurines predate and are possibly ancestral to warhammer minis. just look at all these mikus

Just realized that Emperor Qin Shi Huang's "Terracotta Army" of clay soldiers he kept in a vault in like 200 BC make him the first Warhammer Guy. he got some disposable income and started painting minis. totally get it

First drawing of the year, getting ready to start a painting maybe

like people and institutions staying on X because they refuse to admit it’s not Twitter anymore

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

My ~15 sec script: I'm MyName, a constituent in ZipCode, and I'm *appalled*. [MyShittyCongressman must cosponsor articles of impeachment for] / [MyShittySenators must support impeachment of] the president for unconstitutional acts in Venezuela. The only response I need is to see this action taken.

So Elon *does* have a seat at the table. He’s boiling all of these guys’ brains

I'm glad that Congress isn't alive to see this

Today is the 40th anniversary of me and Amy's first kiss, on New Year's Day 1986. At a party the night before I gave her a chocolate that came in this tiny box, and she's loved me ever since. The box still sits on her night stand. They don't make the chocolate anymore so I painted her this portrait.

I always think of this when someone says they do everything with AI now

A real news outlet publishing the phrase "Grok apologized" should result in like a week-long timeout. Think about what you've done.

I dunno if any writer has lived the dream like Nabokov. I think most writers would like to be so technically impressive that their showing off is not only tolerated but appreciated. so many of his paragraphs are “look what I can do lmao… holy shit…”

Hello, I've been told this is a spooky game, my second effort. This time you take a little walk around a garden, learn about some plants, fall in love. Best played in a dark room with headphones on. Thank you! W E L L T E N D E D: treelet.itch.io/well-tended #bitsy #interactivefiction
