This is one of my favorite Dean Cornwell paintings. It's a masterclass in composition, storytelling and 1st, 2nd and 3rd reads, but also it has an incredible sense of dark humor (THE BUTTS) which Dean Cornwell didn't often get to showcase.

Been sick and playing lots of katamari, here are some silly cousins!! <3

I don’t think I’m ever going to recover from learning that the sentence “Mother Teresa, this is Tennessee Williams” is a sentence that was uttered in history.

Live by these fucking words in 2026. Be SPICY and lend a hand.

I called this “The Orville Peck Principle.“ I did not get on the Internet one day explicitly looking for a masked queer cowboy to start crooning at me, but guess what? It was exactly what I fucking needed.

Do you ever think about Paleolithic peoples might have painted their art on everything but only the cave paintings exist because they hardly weather?

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Flatter me

Of all the dirty tricks: juking USPS rules so that the postmark of mail-in ballots won't reflect the date they were put in the hands of the Postal Service, creating a pretext to throw out the votes.

Stuck on my imagining the powerhouse of a state image of "Pyramids of the Prairie, Savior of the Union, Hog Butcher for the World"

I just saw the surname “Brisbois” and all I can think of is a group of hip-hop mohelim

To me, my X-Mas!

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

As a person who doesn't pay a whole lot of attention to many sports it is so funny watching a bunch of major sports teams play at moving their stadiums out of the cities with which they're associated. Oh, you don't want to be in the city but you want the city's recognizability? Suburb-coded behavior

i say this with nothing but love for all of you to whom this applies, but the moral rot in elite journalism is because journalism is a trade and it should be done by tradespeople and instead it's been professionalized in a way that makes it cozy to capital instead

I miss the Spindle sculpture in Berwyn with all those cars impaled on it. We should make a new one. We should make a lot of new ones.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

Honestly nice to to see I'm not the only one contending with this

I also think it’s contributing to a culture of loneliness and detachment, and i don’t want to be part of that. i want it to be NORMAL to love people really deeply in different ways, and to express it without judgment. i think it’s important. i don’t wanna follow arbitrary rules that make no sense!

Ask your agent to request anti-AI provisions in the contract/push back against clauses that require them to ok AI use! We kept saying “authors will hate this” and being told “nobody’s complained”

hello please help me decide which version is funnier. Option A: Goofy and the slop blender are off-screen, implied.

I am brimming with holiday spirit

Guess I'll post this again

Biggest technological revolution in our lifetime and it's not AI:

Wow, Trigun sure takes a strange turn halfway through

The fascist’s imperative is the aestheticization of politics but that doesn’t give the left the excuse to abnegate the aesthetic question altogether. Aesthetics is politics made tactile. There is no leftist project from Lenin to FDR without a vision of the world they wanted to build.

I just framed this preliminary study for a painting of a Kingfisher this morning. The larger more detailed version is still drying but soon to come. Kingfisher 6x6 Oil on panel #oilpainting #birdpainting

it happened again: i got Thomas Piketty and Dav Pilkey mixed up again

Someone has just restored "Daicon 3" from a rare 8mm copy. It's the best version to date. >> archive.org/details/zgfp...

Also a reminder to support Wikipedia. It may not be perfect, but by the gods it is *aeons* better than the enshittified corporate owned profit driven advertising spam AI infested internet. (I may be in a Mood tonight)

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.
