Why is it so hard to fix a wheelchair in B.C.?

It took FedEx four days to deliver my overnight parcel/prescriptions. 😖 "When it absolutely, positively has to be fucked up - Go FedEx."

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected. And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.* Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

Did some comic flatting practice on my iPad Air 13" to test a new setup and get the changes committed to muscle memory. Took 22 1/2 minutes to flat. If I did the same page on my Mac with a 24" screen, Stream Deck, foot pedals and 20 buttons on my Huion it would have taken about 12-13 minutes.

Was doing some research into portable monitors for my iPad Air 13". On what planet is a 49" ultra wide monitor a "portable" monitor?

Doing Chicken and Waffles for dinner tonight. We have a vertical waffle maker, but it's a bit of pain trying to pour batter into the spout. Going to get one of these pancake batter dispenses to make it easier:

Cleaning our balcony garden and picking the veggies. Below is the hot pepper crop. I tried one of the smaller green ones. Started off with the bottom - it was like a mildly warm green pepper. By the time I finished the top part - it was going nuclear. Have to figure out how to dry or freeze them.

what colors you surround your chosen colors with has MORE effect than anything else. No color exists in a void.

Fun with new Lock screens from my photos. One is the stern of a BC Ferry looking towards Vancouver Island, the other from a street nearby on the way home from playing poker.

Once again, Telus Pharmacy and FedEx have decided my prescription needs to go from Richmond (Mainland Vancouver area) to North Saanich (Vancouver Island) and then back to Surrey (Mainland Vancouver area). Telus Pharmacy is the worst fucking piece of shit pharmacy I’ve ever dealt with.

Clip Studio Paint doesn't allow you to use modifier keys with Tool shortcuts - i.e. Shift + F. But you can work around that with keyboard remappers like Karabiner Elements. #ClipStudioPaintTips

You can use the same keyboard shortcut for different brushes, so each press will cycle through them. In the example, I use [I] to trigger all my [I]nking tools. #ClipStudioPaint follow my art @dadotronic.com 😉 ✌️

So every freelancer you know is going to lose their insurance or be bankrupted by premiums because Schumer is an invertebrate

"Employees must smile if less than 10 feet from a customer."

Seven pages of flats done on two different comic books. Time for break - exercise, lunch, and then back to work.

I've got one of these behind my office door - it's awesome for storing cables and stuff.

And this is the shit @mark-carney.bsky.social thinks Canada should invest $billions in. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Too bad it isn't $112 million... each.

It'd be awesome if BlueSky let you "renew" a muted word or tag after it expires, instead of having to enter it all over again.

Dear Kevin O'Leary... I'm sure Zohran Mamdani will be delighted to talk to you in the spring when NYC city gardens will need a few thousand tons of high quality manure that only your big mouth can provide.

Always has been, but new laws in BC prohibit any kind of punishment for this too Also: any job posting must display the salaries in BC! dailyhive.com/vancouver/bc...

Going to be a busy day... 3 loads of laundry and need to get 8+ pages of flatting, plus getting out for a 4K walk, even if it is raining.

Some BETTER LETTERER for you. And before the inevitable "that's not how I do it" replies, keep in mind that, by and large, this is how it's done in pro American comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've worked for all of them. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...

There only other picture that sums up the Trump presidency this well is the one where he lumbers onto Air Force One with toilet paper stuck to his shoe.

Subway needs to add “The Acquittal” to their menu. Bacon, ham, cheese, Smokey mustard & onions, on PoPo bread (Hawaiian rolls).

Suuuure it does... and I have Magic Beans for sale, right alongside the deed for the Golden Gate Bridge.

Why internet advertising needs to be regulated:

🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

I had no idea the Republican Party weighed that much.

You know what I think is rude? Defaulting this to "Hide" without my knowledge or permission. If I think you're rude, I'll decide to block you. That's how this place is supposed to work.

Got MacWhisper set up to do dictation on my Mac. It works in any text field in any app. And it's so much better than Siri dictation. This, plus figuring out Scrivener's Label View can double as a Timeline (like Plottr or Aeon Timeline) is going to make working on a project a little easier.

I’ve never used it, but this seems like an important message to get out to those who have.

I still have Photoshop 2024 (2026 is out). The latest version seems to have focused solely on adding AI crap that costs credits every time you use them. I almost felt bad for the guy demoing 2026 - every time he said "Nano Banana" I kept laughing and thinking 'Minions.'

Albertans are you tired of your useless UPC MLA? Well, check the recall website, get involved, kick ass. Remember: some of them only won their seats by handfuls of votes. They wanted the recall ability so much (b/c of the evil socialists). Well, use it against them. 🤘 operationtotalrecall.ca

Really hope Zohran Mamdani wins the election. It's nice to see a politician who isn't a suck-up to billionaires and their cronies. Is anyone surprised that adjudicated rapist Trump endorsed sex-pest Cuomo?

OK, being able to add video clips to a Scrivener project is pretty cool.

Figured out how to add the foot pedal switches as a keyboard to Karabiner Elements (a macOS key re-mapper), so now I can remap the foot pedals on a per application basis.

@vancolour.bsky.social was talking about dead celebrities being "revived" with AI on his show this week. This reminded me of actors fighting against being replaced with AI versions of themselves, something Howard Chaykin predicted in 1983's American Flagg comic.

Just finished watching the Jays game. A tough loss, but a great game.

Pork bibimbap dinner to go with the baseball game:

I had leftover potato slices after making dinner last night. So I threw some salt, pepper and paprika on them, put them on parchment paper on a tray and threw them in the oven at 350°. After about 18 minutes, I flipped them over and cooked them for another 7 minutes. Damn tasty potato chips!

One advantage to using Multiple Input (freehand and lasso) with lasso based tools in Clip Studio Paint is you don't have to hold down the Option/Alt key to make straight lines, and you can pan and scrubby zoom in the middle of a selection. I use it here with the Lasso Fill tool. #ClipStudioPaint

I just can't see using a dislike button on anyone I follow. I mean, if they're that bad, there's the Unfollow button.

I'd call it a bargain. Can we start with this douche canoe?

it's a miserable wet day out there, which makes it perfect for Hamburger Potato Casserole. Cooks for 90 minutes, and should be out in time for the 3rd inning of the Jays game.
