Finally finished a reference for my favourite frog 🐸🪷✨

Iggy Pop on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Let’s say I own a dog and you own a cat. I say my dog is worth $1M, and you say your cat is worth $1M. I give you my dog, and you give me your cat. Now we’re not just pet owners, we’re millionaires. — paraphrase example of asset-swaps in Michael Lewis’ “Boomerang”

Finished commission for rosenrosary💜

the best argument for feminism is to just let an old woman talk at you about her career experiences

“We are glad the SAVE Act died in the Senate. We are grateful to every senator who stood firm against it. To every American who called, wrote and organized to make their voice heard, thank you – your voice matters." #BlackskyNews www.splcenter.org/presscenter/...

“Dad, what did the 80s sound like?” #80s #nostalgia #guitar

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift. Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

There’s a routine Jean Shepherd (A Christmas Story) did in the 1960s when he was doing standup in NYC clubs about how everyone all over the US, all over the *world* dreamed of being *there*, in a hot NY club in the center of it all. “How’s it feel,” he asked his audience, “to know… this is *it*?”

Brackenridge Park is part of the water reclaimation system for the San Antonio Zoo and part flood control for the headwaters of the San Antonio River, so in heavy rain it submerges in stages. Supports some massive cypress trees too, as you can see (they’re very thirsty). :)

oh my sides

Photos I took this weekend of the Artemis II capsule being loaded onto a truck at Naval Base San Diego, headed back to Kennedy Space Center! A thread… 🧵

I am delighted to show off the final photos of this behemoth of a project I've been working on since last year: the Three Kobolds in a Trench Coat mascot costume, for the new boardgame of the same name. You can see this in action at UKGE in May! All handmade by me! ✂️🧵🪡

is wishing the happiest of birthdays to writer-artist @evandorkin.bsky.social

UT's leadership is not "submitting to political domination." The regents are all Republican loyalists installed by Greg Abbott to do whatever he wants them to do. Texas universities will never recover unless the Legislature takes away from the governor the sole power to appoint university regents.

strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news

At a time when mass surveillance and autonomous weapons companies like Palantir are openly announcing their plans for violent world domination, it is crucial that our attempts at “big tech reform” don’t actually give them more power—ie via government mandated age verification/identity software

How the Strokes ended their second Coachella set! #TheStrokes #Coachella

oh this is just 1920s style futurism. which is basically to say proto-fascism. it’s not even trying to conceal what it is. it’s a duck.

Ok

Happy 80th to John Waters and his poppers birthday cake

I think before you build an Arc de Triomphe you should be able to identify at least un (1) triomphe

🚨 new cartoon alert 🚨 A fun lil’ Resident Evil X UPA toon’ 🦝 ☣️

hello, it’s Gonzo

Shout out to a superb voice actor: his hulking, vicious, erudite, animated-by-TMS pirate is my favorite Hook, and Worthington Dubois is one of my favorite bits of stunt casting.

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

For the first time in decades, consensus broke at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. The United States cast the lone “no” vote on a document aimed at improving justice systems for women and girls worldwide. Misogyny is the official policy of the US under Trump.

José Luis García-López was the first artist I ever sought out more work from, because Superman #351 (1980) was so great. An artist who artists love. Happy Superman Day :)

I’m not sure most people realize how much of a work horse you have to be to draw a regularly scheduled comic for 12 years. And the mind blowing part is this guy never fell off, he steadily IMPROVED.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Watercolour style ko-fi commission ✨

The Free Speech Coalition is serious about starting an adult industry credit union. Part of this is being able to show regulators that enough people would use it, so please fill out this form if you're interested! (Yes, credit unions can issue credit cards!) www.freespeechcoalition.com/survey

That the creators on my Big List of Indie Animation continue to crank out the episodes! And speaking of crank, Greasymoose has posted a new episode of METH ORCS! Bloodshed, meth, buttmancy — ngl, this series probably isn't gonna get picked up by Netflix. www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/...

anyone who knew someone with pancreatic cancer knows how big of a deal this is

Simmons: i also have an Everest story Simmons: it's called 'the abominable' Keene: well, that's got to have a yeti in it, right? Simmons: wrong! Simmons: instead of a yeti, my mountaineers are pursued by nazis! Keene: sounds exciting! Simmons: also wrong!

I kind of just sat there for a second or two, processing what he just said. I stopped engaging with him, thinking, “the raw nerve of this guy saying that to my face.” I finally told him that the use of AI is a slap in the face to creative people and it crapped on the memory of my friends.

A guy came to my table yesterday talking about how there should be a reboot of SGC2C. I told him that I was the only voice actor left from the original show. Then the guy pissed me off, but I held my tongue for a bit to hear him out. He suggested replacing George and Clay with AI. 1/2

I’m not a lawyer, and I’m exhausted, so I can’t say exactly which part of the constitution forbids it, but if the constitution does not forbid the president from suing the government in his personal capacity and then ordering the government to settle in his official one, it forbids nothing.

I always found this to be such a daft argument — like the cream of NYC society, the folks attending Broadway opening nights and dining at Cosme, are going to pack up and move to Dallas or Cleveland if taxes go up. Their NYC friends would make fun of them forever, and that is all they care about.

John Roberts is and always has been Sam Alito with better PR he has declared himself and his fellow republican justices the unelected rulers of America and they have wielded their power in favor of making Donald Trump of all people untouchable the court as it exists today must be broken

Here's a fun thread

Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

if there’s no path to citizenship then they’re not immigrants ARE THEY

I challenged myself, worked hard and crafted my story with love and care to get published. So however much I do or don’t get, fck AI and those Anthropic creeps

It's the premiere of @casvdp.bsky.social's Gnome Show! Voices by Smiling Friends' Zach Hadel, @zanelittle.com, Meatcanyon, @doobusgoobus.bsky.social and other indie animation luminaries! Take 15 min to watch this hilarious magical adventure, which may not be up to city code. youtu.be/o9DofskLbN8
