As POTUS, DJT also serves as Commander-in-Cheeto.

IMHO meringues should be baked, like these lemon pies by my daughter. Meringue should not left raw and torched at the tips like you're a hack celebrity chef too rushed to do things right. And don't even get me started on how marketing bake hosts want all the pastries made the same size.

Texas will swing Democratic in 2026 (From 5mo ago - ...Texas gerrymander to 60% GOP majority districts will backfire. The anti-Trump divergence from voting norms is proving to be above 10% even in red states. ...Texas Republicans will lose at least 1 net House seat in the 2026 elections.)

Storyboard beat 6, updated to add shadows, hang the umbrella, and fix the link. All these storyboards are on DeviantArt in my InkyDeLight account, with process details. I documented my ChatGPT workflow here - docs.google.com/document/d/1...

ChatGPT images enlarge a girl's hips and put them in high heels when they are posed ¾ rear. Tests show, and responses confirm, that even androgynous prompting and the strongest possible prohibitions cannot stop it from seeing a female backside and making it a sex object. Post-edits are needed.☹️

A customer in a Chinese restaurant asks the waiter to recommend a dish to honor Donald Trump. The waiter suggests they try the orange chicken.

Finally finished storyboard beat 5. Phew! This will also be on DeviantArt in my InkyDeLight account, with process details. I documented my ChatGPT workflow here - docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Concept for a protest sign that could work if created by someone with more artistic talent.

I need some guidance on the proposed California Billionaire's Tax - oag.ca.gov/system/files.... To me, the 2 sections shown are a tool for California's land barons to kill off new taxes on the property they have so carefully protected with Prop. 13. What do you think? What is the news on this?

Update on my Ladybug Fanfic - I was wrong, the Disney OpenAI agreement does not cover Miraculous Ladybug IP. That is owned by ZAGtoons/Miraculous Corp. I now use explicit IP protection when creating character references. My storyboard progress is at www.deviantart.com/inkydelight/... with items like

I am publishing my #Ladybug fanfic movie script and storyboards on DeviantArt. They are sorted to read like a web-comic. Maybe I should have a release schedule, but I don't. Here is a link - www.deviantart.com/inkydelight/... (Caution - While all my works on DA are SFW, DA is NSFW.)

I'm using ChatGPT to make storyboards for my Ladybug fanfic screenplay, (135 pages, prior link.) An OpenAI/Disney agreement allows this. Inputs are Disney public sources like IMDB. It s/b ~400 storyboard beats @3/pg. @4K chars each ChatGpt inputs s/b ~1.6MB (see ALTs, truncated:-)) Want a link?

My daughter saw the Rose Parade float from South Pasadena last night and was appalled. Apparently the grinning, thieving, blackface ants were supposed to be blue. Perhaps red would have been a better choice?

My third favorite webcomic (after freefall.purrsia.com, and www.kevinandkell.com) became intermittent and then went quiet for several months. It is back with one more post - www.megatokyo.com. Happy New Year to Fred, the artist and author. I hope you have a good one.

Joyeux Noël from my tech shy Francophone artist friend.

I am working to teach my Francophone artist friend to post on BlueSky. Meanwhile, he has allowed me to do so for his satirical comics. Here is his holiday card (He would be happy if this riposte is re-posted.) -

Putin attacks with hammer and flame. Europe gives support like an anvil. Ukraine is steel. Zelenskyy wields the tongs.

Señoras run things. My late mother-in-law was from a Sonoran ranchero family. She married into French/English heritage, and my wife married into German/English heritage. Yes, we eat mashed potatoes, sausage and kraut, but our holiday meals are ranchero - tamales, enchiladas, tortillas and beans.

Print. paste, and protest...

A Bay Area friend says he was laid off a month ago and is getting nothing but rejections. I replied that ICE is hiring, pays up front bonuses, has minimal requirements and training, and the new Theranos surrender-your-soul contract pens require just one little prick.😖

Okay, #MiraculousLadybug fans, with real heartache I cut my movie sequel screenplay down to 2 hrs 15 min. How can 2 French teens and their kwamis create world peace? Why did Ladybug disappear? Check out my fanfic - docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Another print, paste and protest sign

Are you a #MiraculousLadybug fan? Have you seen M:L&CN - THE MOVIE? If not, then ignore this. I wrote a 2.5 hour screenplay to explain 17 words in the final scene. How do 2 French kids and their kwamis create world peace? Why did Ladybug disappear? Curious? Read it - docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Another printable protest sign

IT con$ultant hammering screws. A company that used Oracle asked me to write a query that counted value frequency in columns of huge wide tables. I told them to open SAS and type "DATA {table} PROC FREQ". They wanted it in PL/SQL. Their specific query ran 8hrs and failed. My generic query ran 3hrs.

Someone called bullshit on my faith in Ukraine winning. Well, ChatGPT shows Russia has spent about 12% of its total military AND CIVILIAN manpower to gain about 12% of Ukraine's land*. Putin will fail long before he sends the last idiot into the meat grinder. * Mostly fields, not cities

Welcome back, Mississippians. That word is so fun to type I have to do it again, Mississippians.

My hope is in the people of Ukraine. They are being forged like iron in the fire. They will defeat Russia. To do so, they will build a country and military that eclipses the United States. The world will then realign into Ukraine vs. China.

Another protest poster

Today's printable protest sign is a quickie. I just had to make it but have not yet used it.

Yet another printable protest sign (my favorite, but no responses, so low impact)

Thanks @sirrickolas.bsky.social. You opened a door for me to many wonderful Bsky content creators. Its like the moment when magic starts happening.

Post a non religious image you think of as holy. My second RPG hero to ascend. Inky DeLight went from a villain's flunky to marrying the Supreme Sorceress, Guardian of the Universe.

I *loved* Miraculous - Ladybug & Cat Noir - The Movie. It is good fun, and then scary. Finally, a pan shows winter coming. Ladybug looks for Adrien as he mourns "I miss you so much, Ladybug. The world is at peace, but my heart is in turmoil". An ENTIRE MOVIE lives in his 17 words. #MiraculousLadybug

The New York Times is a tool of the opposition. They epitomize how journalism put Trump into office, and are doing their level best to support him now. OTOH, the Wall Street Journal IS the opposition. Boycott both. Support independent media.

This third printable protest sign is more generic -

My Putin Rules Sissy Trump sign is a favorite. (You are encouraged to download, print, paste and parade with any of these signs.)

I'm going to start posting protest sign images. Maybe one a day for a while, then petering out. This first one is, by far, the most popular with passersby taking pictures.

A thought for Democrats thinking about 2028. I am a never Trump Republican, but could not bring myself to vote for Hillary in 2016. I supported Warren, so it's not about sex. Hillary is in the East Coast elite cabal with Merrick Garland, Schumer, Cuomo, etc. They are why Americans hate Democrats.

<gripe>I'm tired of people at the gym wasting my time wiping the seat with a soapy cloth after they use a machine. If I wanted a wet butt, I could wipe the seats myself. What's up with that? Do they have herpes?</gripe>

Turnout at the #teslatakedown protest in Burbank, CA, today.

I guess the #TeslaTakedown protest I organized for noon today at the Burbank Tesla Service Center will have a low turnout. Oh well. I'll still be there with my sign and an umbrella.

I am hosting No Trillionaires Day, Burbank, Nov. 15 - actionnetwork.org/events/no-tr...
