My work has been WIRED's mascot, tattooed on bodies, and featured in museums and art galleries. Co-founded the first NFT (sorry?).

It's cool that the America is going to measure the sentiment around its president on Polymarket now.
Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years thehill.com/homenews/med...

Found something Vancouverites all agree on: this budget sucks.

> A record-breaking 630+ people spoke at City Council on the motion; less than 5 were in favour
> The city received 16 letters in support, and 1244 in opposition
> 400 city jobs are expected to be cut
Vancouver's 2026 draft budget has PASSED.

Approved on a 7-4 vote on party lines, with ABC in favour and councillors Fry/Bligh/Orr/Maloney opposed.

Property tax freeze, $50 million more for VPD, and cuts to Arts, Culture, Planning and Sustainability departments, among others.

Full story to come.

Just learned that our app has had a Starfleet insignia in it since 2018.

Which made me realize that the Starfleet insignia and a Oujia board's planchette are identical.

And both are used as interdimensional communications devices.

Earlier this week, I posted about the second anniversary of a fire in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood & the rather twisted circumstances surrounding it. I've drawn a follow-up story you can read on my site as well: www.jameslloydillustration.ca/blog/414-e10...

Thought I was going to be working with a pilot named "Dawn Hurdler" today.

Unbelievably disappointed to learn his name is actually John.

It turns out the whole company updates their contact photos on an annual basis. According to the woman in my email who's dressed up like a Victorian band leader, this year's theme is steampunk.
Frustrated to announce that the most professional and responsive person in my inbox has an email signature that features a tiny portrait of themselves in an extremely ornate top hat. (The photo is followed by their VP job title and nine lines of contact information.)

Studio Ghibli already showed us what we look like as Studio Ghibli characters.

Thinking about how, in 2019, I was working with a Dogecoin dev when a certain billionaire DM'd the team to collaborate, and I recommended giving him a superficial title like "President of Doge" for the day since it seemed like the most harmless thing to do with his interest.

I'm here to make friends and chew bubblegum.

And I brought enough gum for everyone!
