I follow artists, journalists, shitposters, cute animals, and people who talk about politics, comics, and RPGs. I will also follow stone cold weirdos with questionable views because I like weird ideas, no matter where they come from. Follows are not endorsements!

I remember working on Magic: Duels and badly photoshopping tropical print shirts onto placeholder planeswalkers key art while waiting for the full-res files to come in. Because, y'know, we wanted it to be VERY OBVIOUS it wasn't final

Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

House Republicans are used to being bullies, not the mid-tier henchfolk the administration demands. And they won't fight because 1) like bullies, when things gets hard, they'd rather take their ball and head home, and 2) they are terrified of Trump turning their base (death threats and primaries).
PUNCHBOWL: “.. GOP members messaged us over the weekend saying that they, too, are considering retiring in the middle of the term. Here’s one particularly exercised senior House Republican:

Whew! Finally wrapped this one up just a few hours ago.
LONG overdue commission for a great client.
An homage to a classic Hulk poster from the 1970's, at the client's request. This one tested my problem solving abilities, for sure!

Excellent thread, ends in some powerful wisdom
Home Alone makes changes to the Die Hard formula that render it hard for me to enjoy. The McClain character should feel overawed. And in theory having Kevin be a child versus adults achieves that. But the thing is: Kevin is a god. It's not just Tom & Jerry. This is some random punks versus Anansi.

There is already a party that is giving bigots everything they want; they've got it all locked up. Anyone so devoted to their bigotries that they hold their votes contingent over it is going to vote for that party.

The good news is we don't have to make these trades. Just nominate somebody willing to stand up for everyone. Not just because it's the right thing to do; it's a much more compelling message. It's a *winning* message. Trans people would very much like to beat Republicans; they're telling you how.

Government is a thing we do together.
My most woke opinion is that the whole point of society is to collectively help each other. My taxes should be going towards housing and feeding everyone. No one should be without food or shelter. Rich people should be contributing more towards this. It shouldn't even be controversial!
