Abolish ICE.
Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

Though, I gotta say I also loved The Wind Rises and Kiki's Delivery Service. (There's not really a Miyazaki film that I've seen that I haven't liked.)

The death toll from the attack on Venezuela is now at 80, per Venezuelan officials. That includes civilians. Every article about the attack, or how the US somehow claims it will run the country, should mention the fact that, you know, people died, including civilians. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

I didn't make much visual art in 2025, so here's my "2025 Writing vs. Writer" instead. Thought it would be fun to post some snippets of dialogue and lore books I wrote for released work in Guild Wars 2 this year during my first full year on the Narrative team.
To another year and another adventure!

I don't know why the idea of developing concept art with AI is somehow meant to convince us that AI isn't replacing creative professions, when concept art is one of the single most creative and imaginative parts of the entire development process.
