Here’s a fun vow to make with yourself:
Every time you're on social media, end by following a link off-site—and poke around for a second.
Bonus points if it's a site not owned by shareholders or angel investors.

“OpenAI is getting ready to run hat in hand to the taxpayer for subsidies.” After losing more than $13 billion this year, OpenAI officials are angling for a bailout. From @ryanlcooper.com:

OpenAI Is Maneuvering for a Government Bailout - The American Prospect
For artificial intelligence to ever pencil out, some truly enormous revenue streams will be required. And if you need trillions of dollars for data centers forever, there’s only one entity to turn to: Uncle Sam.

“Somewhere Out There” was literally the first song I memorized the lyrics to all by myself.
The second, a few weeks later, was “I Hold Your Hand In Mine” by Tom Lehrer

Hands up if you can still sing most of this soundtrack from memory
It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

I just had to share this little, simple looping animation I just tweaked to start my livestreams. The static on the paused TV/VCR combo rolls up, and I'm so tickled.
Anyway, I'm going to do more livestreaming soon. Stay tuned.

I got to go to the ribbon cutting for the Northwest Museum of Cartoon Art —it was pretty darn great. What they’ve built is wonderful and worth a visit . It's the result of years of effort by a really dedicated team.

I absolutely LOVED The Chair's Hiatus. I will be checking this out!
A while back I quietly made a revised edition of The Chairs’ Hiatus — new pages, updated art, small tweaks. It was once a mailing list giveaway, but I’ve finally given it a permanent home on Patreon. It's included with membership, or for $3. I'm still proud of it.

Cartoonists know the conversation that happened when creating this cover.
“Hey do you think this reads as the Flash being turned into a puppet?”
“I don’t know. They might think he’s a robot? What if you made Flash say ‘oh no! I’m a puppet!’”
“Wait, I’ve got a better idea.”

Every comic cover since has been trying and failing to reach the heights glimpsed by this Carmine Infantino cover for Flash #133 in 1962. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like
