Aaron Nola looking locked in

It’s been six years since the world shut down for Covid-19, but somehow I’m still drawing the novel coronavirus. This time it’s for a story about a UPenn study that analyzed at the ways the pandemic influenced electoral politics and policy making.

I am happy to live in New York where we are represented by three normal national teams—Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Italy—not this awful collection of used car dealers’ sons

The guy in charge of NYPD’s 68th precinct pulled a gun on trick-or-treaters after another cop, who was driving the wrong way on a one way street, hit them with his car.

Happy belated birthday to The Legend of Zelda. Here’s art created for Nintendo themed show at @bottlenecknyc.bsky.social way back in 2013.

A regime that can only imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever, is scared to death of the power of art to document the terror the regime inflicts on its most vulnerable.

If you got time to vibe-code, you got time to clean the commode.

Happy Presidents Day to all who celebrate

the Black Panthers were right

Gary Kelley is the best

In the late ’90s, Novartis was ready to squash the development of Gleevec (imatinib), a drug that turns a rare and deadly form of leukemia into a manageable condition, because they didn’t think there were enough patients to turn a profit. They relented when the research team tried to buy the patent

Here’s a periodic reminder that MLB is full of shit. There aren’t rich teams and poor teams … just rich owners who spend on their teams and rich owners who don’t. And the latter will do anything they can to distract you from this fundamental truth.

Spring training starts today and people are saying that the R train added 15 pounds of muscle in the off season and is in the best shape of its life.

Here is the Czech pair dancing to their AI rip-off of You Get What You Give, replaced for the Olympics by an AI song with “original” lyrics that sounds pretty much the same

wild AI story from the Olympics ice dancers were told to use songs "in the style of the 1990s." One Czech pair tried using AI to pump out a song to skate to, but their AI bot fully plagiarized "You Get What You Give" by The New Radicals and they had to change it sports.beehiiv.com/p/olympics-d...

I’ll never understand why the slop enthusiasts expect people to spend time to read a story, look at art, listen to a song, watch a show or even pay attention to an ad campaign when they brag about having spent no time to create it.

This is so incredibly messed up that people have to raise money for their co-workers and former co-workers in foreign countries suddenly without visas, an income or a way home.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

The great success of art is when you now *have* to do it indefinitely in order to survive

The idea that technical skill is somehow an unsurmountable barrier to the production of art betrays a very, very limited understanding of what art is and how it's made. Marcel Duchamp is one of the greatest artists ever to live and many of his most indelible works are *about* the absence of skill.

Pivoting my national newspaper to fash opinion sludge and some AI-related handwaving, on account of economic headwinds and also because neither I nor anyone in my cohort of elites knows how to read.

In 1946, cartoonist & illustrator Noel Sickles was sent by Life magazine to sketch the Nuremberg trials. Here is his sketch of the execution of Joachim Von Ribbentrop, who claimed at trial that his boss had made all of the important decisions, & that he was only following orders.

Well, well, well, not so easy to find a mayor who will kill that miserable rodent, huh? abc7ny.com/post/groundh...

It is our civic duty to eat more birria tacos, conchas, mapo tofu & bao! The community is counting on us!

I am very much looking forward to getting the Measles vaccine in July. I was vaccinated as a kid because my parents aren’t morons. I lost my immunity to it and everything else because of cancer treatment.

Bay Ridge is the best

Good luck to everyone taking the bus today. @mayor.nyc.gov, shovel my bus stop!

This guy's been the main character for 10 years despite being corrupt, incompetent, pedophile, racist, rapist, traitor, war criminal and would-be autocrat. Because we're governed by cowards and the media treats him like the voice of "Real America", we've been burdened for what feels like eternity.

Zohran, shovel my bus stop!

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Some people are going to swear, “this isn’t what I voted for.” It is important to remember that some people are liars.

The federal government is keeping this from you; they are keeping away cancer vaccines; because they want you to die.

Nicole Malliotakis was one of the 140 members of Congress who voted to throw out out the 2020 election results. She continued to challenge the results on Jan. 6 AFTER the insurrectionists were cleared out of the Capitol

If folks were honest with themselves they would understand that the point of AI is to inhibit your ability to think. The end of human thinking is the goal of those who create AI. This isn't even a secret, I suppose.

Carlos Beltrán was supposed to get a hit and that guy in the fourth row was supposed to be crushed to death by a stampede of fans rushing toward the field.

One thing most people don't understand is that we in the US enjoy greater wealth funded by other countries because they assume we are a stable and relatively friendly hegemon.

Some sources, plus the call for comics if you want to participate.

Something a little different. Some cartoonists put out a call for comics about local ICE experiences. This one happened a few months ago so it's a little older than current events, but it's a story that I never stopped thinking about. #ICEoutcomics
