i was just complimented on doing a great job grand-dadding the kids. my kids. whom i am dad to. fruit of my loins. so... thanks?

i often find i come up with the best witty/snarky posts when i am nowhere near access to bsky. and then of course i forget before i can post them, so none of you will ever know my genius. just trust me on this. i'm a hoot.

thank you @simonjester007.bsky.social for inspiring a totally 80s cover of a totally 80s song by a totally 80s band! SOTD 507 gets in your eyes, it's making you cry, don't know what to do don't know what to do... youtu.be/S6rfNjix_YM #SOTD #PseudoEcho #SendMeAnAngel #RealLife

thank you, @punkandnewwave.bsky.social, this is a great track for the next Song Of The Day(ish). SOTD 506 is going wrong, can you tell that in a song? youtu.be/-7SaJX8JR1Q #SOTD #EchoAndTheBunnymen #Rescue #IsThisTheBluesImSinging

i would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today...

in anticipation of all the May The Fourth posts, allow me to make this one single response so i don't have to copy/paste ad infinitum... "...and also with you." thank you. 🖖

The Strait of Hormuz was open before this administration. Now “Project Freedom” to fix the problem they created. Bush called his version “Operation Iraqi Freedom.” We know how that ended. Same energy. Same branding. Same stupid. #SnarkyOrwell #BiglyBrother #ProjectFreedom #Hormuz #HistoryRhymes

i feel like i'm seeing a lot of derision aimed at sex workers, and i gotta say that doesn't sit well with me. nobody's career is above anyone else's. saying someone is "just a [fill the blank]" is demeaning and undervalues a person. just my unpopular opinion, take it for what you will.

spent the evening with some Mojo Nixon, hence you get this next Song Of The Day(ish). SOTD 505's only kidding, can't you tell? youtu.be/Qt81bVae4tQ #SOTD #MojoNixon #DonHenleyMustDie

this checks out 👇

have you paid your dues, jack? yes sir, the check is in the mail.

come, children. gather round as today's sermon will be given by Reverend Mojo... youtu.be/ehEFEcHYJn4 #FreeDrunkAndHorny #YouCantStopMe #YouKnuckleheads

me, handing the 4-yr old the bunny drawing she asked for 4yo: i said make it a *cute* bunny... me, pointing at it: yup. see? cute bunny. 4yo, eyerolling: dad. this bunny is not cute. it is silly. me, a professional illustrator, emotionally crushed, trying to keep it together: let me try again...

i never wish death upon anyone. that said, i find this news unmoving. this man squandered every ounce of merit and goodwill he built during his life and seems on the verge of leaving this world with no shred of it intact.

Orwell warned us the language of equality would be used to enforce its opposite. But here we still are. #SnarkyOrwell #Mifepristone #StatesRights #ReproductiveRights #Hypocrisy

remembering Dennis O'Neil, a legend in comics and the low-key reason our Studio G comics and specifically @murcielaga.studiogart.net were able to grow and thrive in our early days. without his support in the early 90s, our journey into comics would have been so much emptier.

latest from @robwords.com, a fun walkthrough on contranyms. check it out here youtu.be/wopcJoJIoJE i'll comment that "shelled" is interesting as it has an additional context beyond the contranymic dichotomy, also meaning to attack with bombs...

if you see this, post your black and white art i'm choosing hardline ink, no greys or washes, for kicks... (hey @jimpinto.bsky.social, here's a trip down memory lane...)

Orwell warned us the endgame was abolishing elections entirely. Turns out you don’t have to abolish them. You just make certain votes count less. SCOTUS figured that out on a quiet Tuesday. Some animals are more equal than others. #SnarkyOrwell #SomeAnimalsAreMoreEqual #VotingRights #SCOTUS #VRA

you've all seen me post about @robwords.com, but have you followed him and subscribed to his newsletter? i just got the latest, and i can think of a few immediate uses for Blatherskite (meaning "a talker of blatant nonsense")... now go follow and sign up for yourselves. i'll wait.

thanks to @bobk37.bsky.social for inspiring this next Song Of The Day(ish), i decided to go with a cover version i've always loved. SOTD 504 was jumpin' and the joint was rockin' with jive... youtu.be/SH6coLBSNFI #SOTD #BowWowWow #CastIronArm #JohnnyPeanutsWilson

i think i've seen a few accounts around here for "recreational subserviency" who could make use of a good whittawer...

this Song Of The Day(ish) is very much overdue, i've been meaning to share it for a long while now. SOTD 502 missed it by *that* much... youtube.com/watch?v=CVyJkKKfRFs #SOTD #MelbourneSkaOrchestra #GetSmart yes, it's a video. it's worth it.

gonna throw this in as well, happy birthday Marco! youtube.com/watch?v=QvLmx9dUm00

i would be remiss of i didn't take time to dedicate a very happy birthday Song Of The Day(ish) to Marco Pirroni! allow SOTD 501 to introduce his Firebird Seven... youtube.com/watch?v=Zw-DGMTzwQU #SOTD #MarcoPirroni @cartyrubble.bsky.social #Ciaron #ManCalledMarco

godspeed, Mr. Conway. the comics world would be so much less today without your powerful contributions. thank you for giving your gifts for all of us to enjoy ❤️

thanks to @joshcrewsreally.bsky.social for inspiring this Song Of The Day(ish) the other day, just getting to post it up now. SOTD 500! does a funny dance and wins the hearts of everyone in the biker bar... youtube.com/watch?v=MJtzD-eQMWA #SOTD #TheChamps #Tequila!

why does this work? should this work? it shouldn't work, right? i'm diggin' it. another win from @morganlbrown.bsky.social 👇

me, playing a villain thwarting the 4-yr old: and with this button, i am turning the floor to lava! you'll never escape muahahaha 4yo: that button is 'duck mode' me, perplexed: wait, wut? 4yo: quack! me: nnoooOOOOOoooo!!! foiled again!!

my Mutuals feed is down, so i've switched to Following. i've been locked out of the small comfortable gathering at the party and am left in the larger room where i know who everyone is but very few know or care who i am. time to take my Extrovert power-up...

having a 10-yr old who can navigate youtube means you get to see exactly how much *absolutely atrocious* content there is and how insidious it is to try and filter out. i am convinced the Product team at YT 1) have no small children of their own and 2) are maniacally sadistic. prove me wrong, YT.

what's telling is not whether or not this WHCD incident was faked, it's that we're even having this conversation on a national level. that SO many people on all sides can so easily imagine this administration faking this tells us how little integrity we all believe he has. no one trusts him.
