The GOP tax bill will significantly increase US carbon pollution over the next decade. In return, it will increase our dependence on foreign oil, blow up the deficit, raise interest rates, make the country’s energy supply more volatile, and weaken strategic industries: heatmap.news/politics/tru...
The GOP Tax Bill Is a Dangerous Gamble at a Precarious Moment
House Republicans have bet that nothing bad will happen to America’s economic position or energy supply. The evidence suggests that’s a big risk.

I get off work in 2 and a half hours, and then I'm planning on losing my evening to the links in this thread. These studies sound like a great time.
In 2019 I was doing some X-Men related covers and I was thinking about Jim Lee's evolution as an artist. I started a tumblr to gather his work chronologically... as a study I guess. Here's that tumblr

There’s an active fascist takeover going on. Let’s check in with the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee to see how they’re resisting it.

Oh… oh I see. They’re trying to blow up Section 230 and open the floodgates for Trump to censor the Internet. Inspiring!

Shouting out @henrybarajas.bsky.social for his write-up and BS'ing with @iamdavidbrothers.com about Sekiro bosses feels like how Twitter felt when I was starting my comics journey. I've honestly missed that energy a lot.

Booted up Sekiro for the first time in a year after the @iamdavidbrothers.com thread about it and finally got past a boss I never thought I'd beat. Thanks for the inspiration!

My debut novel Woodworking comes out in THREE WEEKS.

Today's pitch: Guilt! It's rare for trans artists to be given as big a platform as my publisher is giving me. Ordering a copy proves there's an audience for these books at a time when many publishers are gun shy.

If the title is an anagram of "souls", is @ironpineapple.bsky.social obligated to play it?
Excited to share one of the indie games I’m writing on now that I’m a freelancer - Nullstar: Solus! I have a very big “Australian indie” bias and am stoked to be working with the team at @smashattackaus.bsky.social on this one 😊.

This video absolutely rules and so does Alanah. Love that she went beyond just “social media wars” and addresses the fact that time is the most valuable resource we have. Now more than ever, we need to be very careful and conscious of how we use use it.
New video just dropped… and you might actually be able to see it because I’m sharing it on Bluesky!

Did some skeeting about metadata, and the importance of publishers noting that comic artists are authors, at the weekend. Getting it right us is good for company's bottom line, helps *everyone* with findability and marketing and is generally.. good business.
