Doom Scrolling? Sounds impressive as hell, not even sure how you can emulate Doom on a scroll. That’s gotta be some real special papyrus

Cafes across the U.S. are embracing the low- and no-caffeine lifestyle, with options that are a far cry from dusty tea bags and rewarmed decaf. nyti.ms/3XKlqoj

Tribune, you have sucked for decades and it's almost comforting to see you haven't changed. Keep raising the blood pressure of confused conservative uncles that hate the city but never shut up about it, I guess?

From the Editorial Board: Minnesota, even in its grief and trauma over the needless deaths of two of its citizens at the hands of the state, is managing to show that communication and negotiation are possible.
Editorial: Illinois should consider pragmatic tweaks to its sanctuary law
In Minnesota, Democratic politicians are negotiating pragmatic policy changes regarding their sanctuary policies. Illinois should do the same.

A friend was able to get me the Black light set and stoked, one of my all time favorite black cards and the art is SICK

Hourly comic day part 2! Continued to let my kids draw on my comic paper with me and finished the rest after they went to bed. I really like how these turned out, feels like it captures where I am at mentally in this exact moment
My second page of hourly comics, the outside panels have a note with a "protect one another" card for alerting neighbors about ICE and a drawing of flower guy my oldest wanted. The panels go as the following: 2 PM The oldest one ain't napping so we're going to the library, yay! 3 PM She spent a whole hour building a brick wall. 4 PM After much debate, we land on it being taco night. 5 PM - 7 PM Tea time, a cranky baby, taco dinner, superbowl, bed! 8 PM I hold hands w/ our oldest as she falls asleep. A faint "love you, baba" as I leave the room. 9 PM - 11 PM Cleaning cleaning cleaning, Finish Portrait art! Victory! Any attempt to do art feels like a small battle won. Regardless who cares The panels go as the following: 2 PM The oldest one ain't napping so we're going to the library, yay! 3 PM She spent a whole hour building a brick wall. 4 PM After much debate, we land on it being taco night. 5 PM - 7 PM Tea time, a cranky baby, taco dinner, superbowl, bed! 8 PM I hold hands w/ our oldest as she falls asleep.

I think Dunkin' deserves the same fate for that uncreative pile of stinky cameos that was called a commercial last night. GO NUTS, FOLKS

Ooooh baby its #HourlyComicsDay! 🎨✏️

I'll post my comics under here as a thread throughout the day, starting off with my annual guaranteed #HCD panic:
12 AM - Hourly Comic Day 2026 Panel 1 - Izzy in bed, looking panicked, thinking "Oh, CHRIST! It's finally that day again! Digital or Traditional?! Will my day be interesting?!" Panel 2 - close-up of Izzy in bed, covers pulled up to her chin, even more panicked, thinking "EVERYONE'S GONNA SEE THAT I DON'T BUDGET SPACE RIGHT OR KNOW HOW TO DO PANELS RIGHT...AGH!!"

Throwback to something worth repeating.
A screenshot of a tweet that says: Your art will betray you. It will look better in your head than on paper. It will make you feel untalented some days. Love it anyway. Because one day, it will also surprise you, fulfill you, and remind you why you started.
