330 pages of alternate history mystery/adventure, the first of three, all for thirty slim bucks. LAVENDER JACK had a long life as a Webtoon Original, but no one's seen it like this yet:

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

The simple truth is people love this stuff and will watch it if you let them, not by putting it behind a premium fee. I fell in love with these cartoons as a kid because they used to be on TV all the time so I could, ya know, watch them lmao.

OH MY GOODNESS WHAT A THING TO WAKE UP TO! My FC mate and I designed this cane storage for the housing contest and it won!

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions. Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail. Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos. Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

My Kofi COMMISSIONS are open but ALSO my DMS remain open for any commissions not listed. If you are interested in a painted piece, a traditional art piece or a comic book single page message me directly and we will talk about it! 🌸✨ ko-fi.com/ravel35499/c... ✨🎨 Reposts appreciated.

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI. Tiny 'making of' vid here - youtu.be/_2RacX9DgWM...

once someone told me they could tell when a comic was by a storyboard artist because storyboard artists love beat panels and i was like hey fuck you. that's true

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

very good (and ongoing) thread, here

Microsoft has withdrawn its proposal for a data center in a Milwaukee suburbs after community pushback. After opposition from area residents and elected officials the 244 acre Caledonia project will not proceed.

UPDATE: I absolutely did trigger my fire marshals to go through the code and grumble about it continually playing catch up. That part of the point of building the datacenters where they are isn't just cheap land and resource they can exploit, but older code with poor enforcement.

I’m convinced the main reason Miyazaki films have a reputation for being “cozy” in the West is because he actually writes and animates long moments of quiet into his stories, whereas Western animated films are usually a nonstop parade of loud music, sounds, noises and neon colors.

it's been repeatedly proven that giving people free money is cheaper than not doing it

I do find it hilarious how they immediately backtracked after this and deleted the comment

It’s all connected. Follow the money‼️

Hugely important from Scott. We can't go on moaning about the shitty status quo and ignoring the possible solutions.

Here’s an update on Barbara Marques from her husband Tucker May. If you’d like to help, contact your reps, especially if you live in California. There’s an easy script on this gofundme: www.gofundme.com/f/help-barba...

The suggestion that chemical agents like tear gas or pepper spray could be used indiscriminately against peaceful demonstrators, or even first responders, is unacceptable and not normal.

I still think it's really cute when the whole Alliance wait for a single sprout to watch the last boss cutscene n some of them start cheering to the rhythm. Did this yesterday at Thaleia hahaha #FFXIV

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*

And for moms who can't afford to take that second day off from paid work, the solution is often to give kids Tylenol for the fever and then send them to childcare anyway, on the hope that it doesn't spike again during the day.

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet. After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

"Project Elevate Boulder gave $500 monthly payments to each participant starting in 2023… The final report states that as a result of the project, participants said they can more easily pay for basic needs, were able to receive more education or training, and have stronger mental + physical health."

In this clip, I cover the recent Philly experiment that finally tested housing vouchers against cash in a randomized controlled trial. The monthly basic income was almost 4x as effective at reducing homelessness in 18 months, dropping it by 67% compared to 19%. 1 in 4 vouchers weren't even usable.

A GOOD government is when everything works so seamlessly you DONT have to worry about the day to day matters that make it work Stoplights. Transportation. Bridge inspections. Hospital bed availability. That is all SYSTEMIC. And we’re torching it.

we should have never normalized filming strangers in public and posting them as content
