Sociopaths are terrific at spotting other sociopaths. {gift link} www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

someone waited their ENTIRE LIFE to write that headline...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate. And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials. As the Constitution requires. Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

Pam Bondi Thought That Went Pretty Well

Quick PSA: Most corporations don't use their tax cuts to create jobs, give back to society, or lower costs. They just give their CEOs more money.

Anyone else experiencing this? iPhone weather app and Weather Channel app showing me completely different temperatures for exact same location for days now… 6C difference is HUGE. Crazy.

At this point, -8c feels warm. Human adoptation to climate is fascinating.

My sister has a very powerful job. I got a voice mail from a headhunter who was calling me, yeah she said “hi Yuko”, but she was actually trying to headhunter my sister. All the details in the voice mail was her job description. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

I brought all my glasses to a near by Warby Parker. They take secondhand glasses to be donated to those in need. They asked me if I wanted the glasses cases back. I said no, I will never be in need of glasses ever again.

Hello #PortfolioDay I’m Frank Barbiere and I write comics and video games, teach, and generally try not to be an asshole. These days, I’m trying to tell stories that stand for something and always looking for collaborators and likeminded chums.

If Donald Trump doesn’t like being called a pedophile protector, he should stop being a pedophile protector.

Temporary power, permanent consequences 💥

#CallingCaldecott: Shelley Isaacson on IMOGEN by @epartridge.bsky.social + @yukoart.bsky.social (Viking/ @penguinkids.bsky.social ) "The genius of Shimizu’s art is how she pays homage to Imogen’s work, thru well-researched illus, while expressing her own creative flair" www.hbook.com/story/callin...

How many dead bystanders is too many dead bystanders for an arrest? Asking for a Congress...

Insanity: Sources close to the White House told the Washington Post Trump lost interest in backing Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado to lead the country because she accepted her Nobel Peace Prize rather than demanding it be given to Trump, which was viewed as an “ultimate sin.”

Happy 2026

Neighbors got sick. Delivering food.

I’m face blind (for real, diagnosed), and I can’t tell differences between Pam Bondi and Karoline Leavitt. But now I think of it, i can barely tell differences between them and some of the Trump daughters. Is it because I’m face blind, or are they all morphing into one mass of a Mar Lago face?

All of these “missed” Trump redactions that DoJ is redacting after the fact makes me think there are heroes “forgetting” to redact his name here and there.

I’m on a big deadline, and file got corrupted. It’s ok this happens, I went into Time Machine, but I cannot find the backup. Whyyyy!? 😭😭😭 Currently I’m waiting for my IT person to reach back to me.

I could have gone my entire life without seeing a Trump-branded condom, but here we are.

I just finished and gotten approval for a book jacket illustration. OMG, it is for one of my ultimate favorite author’s upcoming release. I’ve been illustrating for 20+ years, but there are still times like this, when things feel like a dream. 🥺

Trump worked hard to conceal the back of his right hand today but Chip Somodevilla of Getty got a shot of it

The cat prints are sold out but we still have some of these. Remember you can gift, then wipe someone’s medical debt 🙏

Sold out! Thank you! And Redhook Dog Rescue says they are very thankful! 🙏🙏💖💖 we will start shipping this weekend.

question to those who have mailing list and newsletters: I have never done it, and since social media reach has tanked, I am feeling the need. 1) do you have a platform you can recommend? 2) do any of you have multiple mailing lists, like one for a shop, one for self promo?

Book Advent #5: "Lone Women" by @victorlavalle.bsky.social is a wonderful exploration of the monstrous among women in the Old West of Montana. It builds tension so skillfully and seamlessly that you don't realize it's happening until the end. This edition has a lovely cover by @yukoart.bsky.social.

We also have a small number of artist proofs of this sold out print from last holiday release. We donate to RedHookDogRescue where my dog was adopted from. yukoart.bigcartel.com/product/new-...
