Also, and this is new—commissions are open!
Are there some power lines you want a drawing of? Contact me and we can work out the details (DM here or email), but basically:
$200 and send me some photos of the power lines and I'll draw them and mail you the finished drawing!

47 years ago today, Donna Summer’s disco version of “MacArthur Park” hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making this the FIRST time a female artist of the modern era would have a #1 single and album (Live and More) simultaneously on the Billboard Pop charts.

Unbelievably, Google is nickel and diming YouTube TV subscribers with their $20 credit due to ABC/Disney carriage dispute.
Believe it or not, you don’t get the credit UNLESS YOU EXPLICITLY REQUEST IT (and it’s buried in settings).
Here’s the link. Do it now.

Throw out those bogus shopping tips about pepper size. Decades of deliberate planning created a less-hot jalapeño.

A lot of people in the US strongly identify as Democrats, but the actual people who run the Democratic Party don’t identify with Democratic voters at all and mostly think of Democratic voters as an unwashed mass who need to be disciplined or silenced

With last night's games, the #NBA circle of parity is now complete!
How to read this:
Going clockwise (starting wherever you want) every team has beaten the next team that's beaten the next team and so on until it circles back.

UPDATE: Reached out to the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister who was there that day and has been active in religious demonstrations at Broadview.
“They are making it clear that they are scared of prayer … it speaks the truth that what they are doing in that building is evil.”
