If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

Tough ol' time for art sales of late and I depend solely on it for a living, so if you like anything I do, I'd appreciate if you'd keep me in mind when buying gifts for friends or family. If you hate what I do, I'd appreciate if you'd keep me in mind when buying gifts for enemies or nemeses.
If, like me, you did NOT get the ONE thing you wanted from Santy (a 95-year-old bachelor farmer with plenty land and a bad cough), treat yourself to a print from an Irish doodler instead - big discounts across the shop, including on bundles, so go on. Go on go on go ON.

There's been a massive rise in hateful rhetoric against a certain type of yank brain on this platform and frankly it's not enough, we can do better.

The Danish Armed Forces should chalk quotes from Miller on the missile warheads they use to destroy the American invaders. #Greenland
Miller: Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory…

No better illustration of a country hooked on US tech than Ireland. The haphazard response to the Grok CSAM scandal makes that bundantly clear.
When countries get hooked on US tech, their governments are constrained in reining in tech’s harms while most of the economic benefits accrue to the United States.
It’s time to break out of that trap — but that means challenging the Silicon Valley model, not creating our own digital colonizers.

i will personally never forget watching doctors cry in interviews and then reading the phrase “the largest cohort of pediatric amputees in history.” i think that was six months in. but that’s just me.
you think the biggest mistake of 2024 was that people made you feel bad about your comfort politician
i think the biggest mistake of 2024 was *checks notes* 20,000 dead palestinian babies
