Congrats to Dave and Miranda, and also glad to see InvestiGators (and Agents of S.U.I.T.) on this list as well!

Everything might be terrible right now, but the cashier at Trader Joe's complimented my choice of potato chips so at least I have that going for me.

KID AUTHOR TIP: when writing a bio, read it out loud so you can imagine how excruciating it would be to hear someone else saying those exact words to an audience while you are standing right there

I was proactive today and started sketching cover ideas for Agents of S.U.I.T. 5 so I won't be totally caught off guard when the art director asks for them sometime in the next 0-4 months.

Today in crazy news: BOTH of my cats' names appeared in today's NYT Connections puzzle

I do think at this point they ought to just keep the flags at half-staff and when we have a day in this country where nobody gets shot to death, they can put 'em back up again.

Very thankful for the return of "uncrowded stores during Steeler games" season

Lowe's is currently selling the most specific Haunted Mansion decoration I've seen to date:

Be careful this weekend kids. It’s really stupid out there.

Yesterday I recommended "Mayor Good Boy" by @davescheidt.com and @mirandaharmon.bsky.social to someone and he said every copy at his local library was checked out so good job guys!

The perfect storm: it's nice enough out to have the windows open all day AND the construction workers across the street are banging on someone's roof for 9 hours straight

You know, sometimes shooting victims are people you like; sometimes they're people you don't like. Yesterday's victim was a huge unrepentant asshole but you or your friends or your kids could be next. Guns are the problem.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains.

Took some good notes at tonight's community meeting

They turned Burlington Coat Factory into a Spirit Halloween store

I'm really working hard to finish off this unpleasant hot sauce I bought a while back

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

One thing I haven't seen people talk about with regard to A.I. art is that 99% of the time it just looks shady and suggests whatever it's promoting is shady, too. Like, way to make your product/event/brand look like a cheap Temu knockoff.

I'm not particularly wealthy, but I am "I don't have to take surveys for a chance to win an Amazon gift card" comfortable.

No cheating, last photo of your pet

IT’S HERE! ✨SPACE CASE: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL✨ HAS NOW LANDED AND IS AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE! From Simon & Schuster! It’s been a labor of love and a great honor to illustrate the first book in Stuart Gibbs’s Moon Base Alpha series, Space Case.

Ngl I used to think this guy was Doc Brown.

I'll confess that "Put stickers on new sketchbook" has been on my to-do list for over a month and it took me three tries to overcome my intense anxiety, but I finally got it done!

Temple of Doom isn't my favorite movie, but the "Nice try, Lao Che" gag is one of the best in the series.

I saw a Reddit AMA with @nickofferman.bsky.social and haven't been able to stop thinking about this quote ever since:

I don't know about your towns, but swastika graffiti is on the rise here in Pittsburgh and it makes me want to puke. Anyone who promotes this gross ideology should be ashamed of themselves. That shouldn't be a controversial statement in 2025 but here we are, I guess.

Also today I threw out a jar of grape jelly that expired in 2022 so if I didn't accomplish anything else, I have that going for me.

Me, upon seeing the Trader Joe's parking lot: "What, are they giving away free groceries?"

I just watched the low-budget horror movies THE DENTIST and THE DENTIST 2 back-to-back; ask me anything. (If your question is "Is Corbin Bernsen the off-brand Michael McKean" my answer is yes)

You ever get the impression that Zack Braff might actually be like that in person?

I love a simple to-do app: create a list, add items, reorder them as needed, repeat. I've found that too many features in an app can bog me down and keep me from using it but Google Keep works super well for me. What do you guys like?

One thing I've learned is that anytime someone leaves a comment with the "crying laughing" emoji at the end, whatever precedes it is bound to be the dumbest, most profoundly UNfunny shit you've ever heard.

See you in September!

Confession: I overthought it.

Don't overthink it: what comic book panels/pages live in your head rent-free? Drop four and tag #comicsdna

Got an eggplant in my CSA share today. I don't want to eat it so I'm just taking lots of pictures of it until it goes bad.

Wasn't Malkovich supposed to be in this? Did he voice H.E.R.B.I.E.?

You don't get to complain about a female Silver Surfer if you are ok with the Thing growing a beard.

I'm gonna see Fantastic Four in the morning! Prediction: surprise cameo by Jennifer Aniston as Ben Grimm's Aunt Petunia.

Milestone achieved: today an actual human being introduced himself to me as "Marty, like a party."

A good hobby that will distract you from current events and not force you to interact with lousy people is purchasing and taking care of houseplants

okay so i just made a really quick example here to show you. same colour over the same image on different blending modes. there is SO much to get into but this is a good basic starter. sometimes i like having diff colour gradients at top and bottom. also there are so many more blending modes to use!

Today is a good day to talk about independent bookstores! If you're lucky enough to have one (or several) near you, you should know that they can order almost all the same stuff you'd get from the big guys or online retailers and will appreciate your business a heck of a lot more.
