Here's a little thing I wrote, referencing songs, for me of note...

Drawn by the great Ela Paniagua (artofelanorpaniagua.ct.ws)
1st page of the Comic The Title "White and Orange" is partly wrapped in a speech bubble, indicating that it is said by the person standing with his back to the viewer in the foreground of the first panel. The first panel shows a florists shop, with the person in the foreground (the customer) and the shop clerk being mid conversation: Customer: white and orange Clerk: that's an unusual choice, may I ask why? Customer: well... Ever since I was a child I associated certain situations with melodies. Often only the title or part of the lyrics have to fit for the connection to form... 2nd panel, black and white, with an orange tint. Descriptor: "like the one time in school when we forgot to open a window for the whole day" It shows the customer and other pupils in a classroom with stuffy air. Notes from Bachs "Air" hang over the customer while he wonders why he now hears this in his head. 3rd panel, black and white, the customer in a dancing pose at night next to a street lamp. Bright Sparkles are in the air as the rain catches the light. Notes and text of "singing in the rain" are under him. Descriptor: "or the first time I broke up with someone." 4th panel, black and white, a plane in the air, speech bubbles indicating the customer annoyingly sings "ca plane pour ma" and other travelers asking, if someone can make him stop. Descriptor: "the first time I went on holiday on my own" Last panel: black and white, tinted in orange. Notes and text of "no need to argue" hang over the sad customer, who is on the phone, tears in his eyes. A speech bubble from the phone says "I'm sorry" Descriptor: "when I got broken up with" 1st panel of last page, black and white heavily tinted orange. It shows the customer on the floor of the running shower, sobbing, while music plays from his phone on the chair "one more night to bear this nightmare" Descriptor: "And I slipped into depression..." 2nd panel, black and white. The customer lies on the couch, his head on the lap of a woman, they seem to joke around. "all I ever wanted, all I ever needed, is here in my arms" hangs over them. Descriptor: "... until I found love again" 3rd panel, we are back in the florists shop again. The customer keeps explaining: "so you see, Songs or just part of songs, are strongly intertwined with my memories." Descriptor 1: "but we both know what memories can bring..." Descriptor 2: "they bring..." 4th panel, black and white, no text. The customer as a happy child being held up by his father so he can reach to the head of a snowman and put a hat on it. 5th panel, black and white, heavily tinted in orange, no text. It shows two people comforting each other next to the deathbed of an old person in a hospital. Last panel: a grave stone with a wreath of white and orange flowers on it. Descriptor "Diamonds and Rust" is written such that "Diamonds" is below the snowman while "rust" is written below the deathbed

Today I showed my biggest board game other game designers to get some outside critique. I did not expect much, because it's rather niche (it's for TTRPG players when their GM needs a break)
And even though they hardly ever play games like this, and if so much less complex ones, they really liked it!

As a hobbyist board game designer I often struggle to get text short enough to fit on a card. I then rewrite it, reducing it sometimes letter by letter 'til it fits. Achieving this feels really good!
But the best feeling by far is being able to omit the first "A" when saying:
"AI made this!"

Day 3 of the “no more than 2” day trial of Sandwich Guy. The prosecution intends to rest; the defense hasn’t decided yet. Dispute over jury instructions continues, a few morsels (sorry) to follow.

If you see this, post 4 female characters you love.
That's really difficult, picking "just" 4, so I'm gonna limit myself to only 1 fem char per franchise, I guess:
Margot Fenring, perfectly incorporating the subtle ways of the Bene Gesserit Delenn of Babylon 5. Was a close call as all female roles are really great there. I ultimately opted for Delenn instead of Susan, Na'Toth or Lyta because of the amazing "if you value your lives, be somewhere else" speech... Sigourney Weavers Ellen Ripley is the best Action Hero in my book. Full Stop. not "female" action hero or any other descriptor shrinking the scope. Best. Action. Hero. Tori Spring of Heartstopper. Just a minor role in the scope of the series, but my most beloved character. Any episode with her in it is a good episode, no matter what else happens.

I was very sad to learn of the passing of one of the most amazing artists of my generation, Drew Struzan. His was a stellar talent, especially in his chosen field of endeavor. 1/3

Heartbroken that, per his social media accounts, Drew Struzan has left us. His poster and album art was quite simply shorthand for imagination for countless young people.
E.T. Adventure poster, 1990. I still have one of these hanging in my childhood bedroom. Star Wars Special edition triptych, 1997. I remember seeing all of these in the paper as each film was re-released and just felt a burst of energy those mornings. Hook poster, 1991 Back to the Future poster, 1985

I've heard good things about AndOr, but I'm not sure if I should watch it. I'm afraid of the commitment, as the name implies 15 Seasons:
And/Or, AND/NAND, AND/NOR, AND/XOR, AND/XNOR, NAND/OR, OR/NOR, OR/XOR, OR/XNOR, NAND/NOR, NAND/XOR, NAND/XNOR, NOR/XOR, NOR/XNOR and XNOR/XOR
