I'm hopeful this is as brutal as it looks like it might have been...it's possible he's only his own useful idiot, I haven't ruled that out in my mind. Professor Confidence Artist probably makes a charismatic teacher [he thought knowingly]. But if he's anyone's OP, China is in on it. #Poli #con

Bitches, please. We're tired of Zionists posing as victims in circumstances of their own creation. Zionism is a palingenetic ethno-nationalist political ideology. Nothing makes us less safe in this world as Jews than ethno-nationalism, least of all our own. Tikkun olam

There's Sooo much stuff I've yet to watch, unread books, etc. There's simply not going to be time for me to fit in re-consuming the work of a bio-essentialist billionaire now that I know she's an unrepentant bitch. 🚫TVshow, full cast audiobooks, & whatever new print editions in the offering...

Putting a rainbow color changing LED bulb at the front door has been a fun way to make exiting and entering more fun. Good for the old brain box.

An hour and a half of me inking and mumbling at times inaudibly about things tonight... www.youtube.com/live/GQc_LBW... #comics #making #art #inking #youtube #lives

A bit of culture with the Murphy tonight, went to see/hear Requiem/Te Deum/Gloria performed by the Choeur polyphonique de Montréal, at Cathédrale Marie-Reine-du-Monde. Was physically fidgety after a day of drawing/editing in Harmony. Sketched during the first pieces. Ballpoint and brush pens.

#NDP leadership voting is underway I voted the morning after I got my email. We have rank choice, I ranked everyone and I think I made a pretty obvious one for my first choice, but I put Tanille Johnston as my number two because of her platform. www.tanille.ca/platform

Sailors sabotaging their ships, AI tech Bros starting to calculate it's better NOT to kiss the ring, and-not mentioned here-formally pro Trump MAGA diehards repeatedly have tried to kill him...I don't think it's going well for the US regime eh? All the winning. www.tiktok.com/@jupiterbaal...

Oh good good good, yes THis wILl go jUst fine I'm SURE... Wat to peace that peace Mr. Peace President. www.cbc.ca/news/world/i... Reportedly they struck a school killing 40 kids. School girls are apparently part of the existential threat Bibi and Donny fear...

3 month #AuDHD #selfaccommodation secretarial update. Tuning & adjusting along the way but helpes for sure. Few forgotten meds, hit and miss on promoting adopting #exercise regimes, #Art making, & #planning. But doing it more than I was without it. So #progress. #Maker #Woodwork #cats

Watching this again, and this bit came up. "I don't feel like-Jeff's done something wrong-by stopping painting-Or by not painting any more! I think if you don't have anything to say, you should shut up!" That hits a bit different now, but I really didn't like this take thee first time either.

Sort comic idea: Professor Dropstone, the world's clumsiest archeologist, finds the Holy Grail.

oh, it was SOTU today? I had no idea and really, that's fine. Not my country anyway and I do not subject myself to his voice, EVER. See a few of my fellow 🍁live tweeted his bile? WHY? Why would you do that to yourself? Ignore the troll.

Saw Marty Supreme earlier today, excellent work. Interesting story-not here to teach ANY moral lesson at all. Portrait of a giant ego on fire being a huge asshole. But I recognize the type, the manic energy reminds me of things I remember about my father, and the ethics smell like his.

Ok, those two are done for now. Took way too long to do, too many distractions and not enough focus these days. But, moving on! #DreamLife #Nuts #Inks #art #drawing #comics #inking #ME #NoAI #HumanMadeArt

Rewatching ANDOR and following politics leads to some dark ideas that may feel like hope. Inspired by Frazetta's Executioner and Woody Guthrie's guitar

Immigration is good. It has made Canada and all our lives immeasurably better. I'd like our elected leaders to start saying so, loud and clear and unapologetic.

This is messed up and unacceptable bullshit from so called "Book Lovers". #books #publishing #scams #extortion #NoAI

#WIP on Nuts, why do I give myself so many plants to draw and ink? Little more to go and some digital in post too probably. Have to revise Scrappy on the right page in the second panel, shrink him down a bit... #Comics #Graphicnovel #sequentialart #inking #mindengine

Pondering this a couple months, requested a while back. But I just could not focus on playing with my art at the time. Too much was going on and I had a hard time parsing ideas in the song. But think maybe....I have something? Well see... #commission #tomwaits #music #sketch #gesture #composition

Recovering from a flu/cold thing, trying to get back to #inking. Only 3.5 weeks left until I'm back to work... Drawing gardens, who's idea was that? I'll have to talk to this writer... Nuts | Mind Engine | Clutch #Art #Comics #NoAI #Garden #itsme

Dream Life/Nuts WIP, been a long time since I worked with them, in this world, trying to find the right level of render and feel of line. Figures first then the plants... #comics #art #drawing #inking #art #notai

Really, there's been so many that would have been more than good enough, but I'll grant the artist who made it this - @trilemma.bsky.social - that's a Pretti Good reason for a poster to call for one today. Hardly the only reasons, but it does have a good ring to it. Nicely done too. #NationalStrike

Yeah, I'm sure 'illegal' immigration is a real huge issue in Main...[checks numbers] doesn't even make the top ten lists. Texas and Florida are #2 and #3 but Main does not even rate. relinker.app/l/uNqbAKaT Data refed by me... relinker.app/l/LLrTrE8Q

It's level, but you can see how not my stairwell/the building is by the bottom edge there, lol. That going to be filled in when it's done with a board.

When you feel like you should be making Art but building things with your hand is more appealing, built some shelves. Some deep storage I've been thinking about building for a while. All out of scraps collected on walks. #Maker #Woodwork #building

The Genocide bullshit continues. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/1/...

It's tinny, all of those listed on the social programs page, THAT is not protecting anything! And compared to the military spending, geez. Budget in full is here. - budget.canada.ca/2025/report-... #canpoli #ndp #ElbowsDownCarney

Wow, just was catching up with a political podcast from Nov2 but I hadn't really looked closely at just how bad/conservative the budget is... 5M for the Canadian Dental Care Plan...really. WTF. That's like 2 or 3 houses in Toronto? THAT's the budget, for a nation wide dental plan?!! HOW #canpoli

Goose stepping goons a go go blinding kids and dragging people stuck in the traffic they created away for no good reason. Chaos incorporated and intimidation IS the point. #EndICE #FuckTrump youtu.be/vnM8_4dFoCI?...

WOOF! A bit of absurd silly from Hannah Gadsby for a break from it all, published free to her youtube here. youtu.be/3KS-Plcz5sU?...

I've been seeing people use thetruesize.com to compare Greenland to the USA. I thought it would be more relevant to show a bunch of the major NATO nations with it, for a further comparison. All in a line on a the equator to minimize the scale distortion...

That's some messed up shit, even with those numbers. I checked the YouGov site and didn't find it, any able to cite the source/poll so we can look at the methodology? #canpoli

Not Resolutions! Reembarking on old practices I've not used as much the last couple years, and some new. Getting back into the groove hopefully... salgoodsam.com/jan-1-2026/

Jan 1 2026 Some notes from the desk, getting refocused and remembering old processes.

Happy Global Orbital Anniversary! 🌞🌏🌝🖖

Spent new years eating healthy and getting some pages prepared, blue lines printed, for inking for NUTS, Dream Life book two pt 2. There was a modest scenic snow dump, so the view from my studio was nice. Night all! #Comics #process #thumbs #drawing #MindEngine

A sound perspective on having no pedestals and expecting to surpass your role models ideally. Course, one hopes they don't punch their legacy in the dick like Nome but all the same... charlesmcbryde.substack.com/p/kill-your-... #poli #epstine #chomsky

Scrappy running tricky at that angle, need to revisit. Blocking the other major figures in 1st, Go go gadget go. Lot of ref pull for this page, old maps of the garden, dog poses, ref sheet for past scrappy, and going to need a pile of plants #DreamLife #Nuts #MindEngine #comics #penciling #process

It's been a month, I added an update to this about how it's been going. Pretty good so far as the point of the desk goes.
