Cleaning our balcony garden and picking the veggies. Below is the hot pepper crop. I tried one of the smaller green ones. Started off with the bottom - it was like a mildly warm green pepper. By the time I finished the top part - it was going nuclear.

Have to figure out how to dry or freeze them.

what colors you surround your chosen colors with has MORE effect than anything else.

No color exists in a void.

Fun with new Lock screens from my photos. One is the stern of a BC Ferry looking towards Vancouver Island, the other from a street nearby on the way home from playing poker.

Once again, Telus Pharmacy and FedEx have decided my prescription needs to go from Richmond (Mainland Vancouver area) to North Saanich (Vancouver Island) and then back to Surrey (Mainland Vancouver area).

Telus Pharmacy is the worst fucking piece of shit pharmacy I’ve ever dealt with.

Clip Studio Paint doesn't allow you to use modifier keys with Tool shortcuts - i.e. Shift + F. But you can work around that with keyboard remappers like Karabiner Elements.

You can use the same keyboard shortcut for different brushes, so each press will cycle through them. In the example, I use [I] to trigger all my [I]nking tools.

Seven pages of flats done on two different comic books. Time for break - exercise, lunch, and then back to work.

And this is the shit @mark-carney.bsky.social thinks Canada should invest $billions in. 🤦🏽‍♂️
ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”

That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.”

It'd be awesome if BlueSky let you "renew" a muted word or tag after it expires, instead of having to enter it all over again.

Dear Kevin O'Leary... I'm sure Zohran Mamdani will be delighted to talk to you in the spring when NYC city gardens will need a few thousand tons of high quality manure that only your big mouth can provide.
 Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

Always has been, but new laws in BC prohibit any kind of punishment for this too

Also: any job posting must display the salaries in BC!

Going to be a busy day... 3 loads of laundry and need to get 8+ pages of flatting, plus getting out for a 4K walk, even if it is raining.

Some BETTER LETTERER for you. And before the inevitable "that's not how I do it" replies, keep in mind that, by and large, this is how it's done in pro American comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've worked for all of them. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...

Why internet advertising needs to be regulated:
“Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, documents seen by Reuters show. And the social media giant internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day.”

You know what I think is rude? Defaulting this to "Hide" without my knowledge or permission.

If I think you're rude, I'll decide to block you. That's how this place is supposed to work.
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
