I miss my friends who are parents of small children sometimes, but I love seeing how great they are at parenting.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

More Fionna and Cake season 2 The Hare and the Sprout boards. Drawing Huntress Wizard feels like breathing to me now.
Close-up storyboard drawing of Huntress Wizard's done face from Fionna & Cake season 2 Episode 1 - The Hare and the Sprout. Upshot of uhh, Huntress Wizard? Storyboard drawing of Huntress Wizard holding a flask of anti-venom at her tree home. Conk shelving lined with anti-venoms and other tonics cover the walls in the foreground. She looks over her shoulder at Finn who is lying on the floor under a grass blanket, head propped by a log and leaf "pillow" Huntress Wizard reverently greets the Heart of the Forest with her hands over her eyes in the shape of goggles

Time to post some Fionna & Cake season 2 work! Starting with some Simons from my boards for The Hare and the Sprout.
A crop of a storyboard panel of Simon Petrikov from Fionna & Cake season 2 sitting backwards on a swivel chair to better ingratiate himself with the wizard youths. Another storyboard panel of Simon. He "arti" give you the "facts". Simon gestures widely and dramatically (still seated backwards on this swivel chair; he's very committed) to a blackboard with 'History of Magic Artifacts with Simon "Prof Kov" Petrikov' written on it in chalk. The Farmworld Enchiridion and a poorly-drawn Roman dodecahedron sit on a table in the foreground. Simon, on the ground, sharply recoils at the sight of "Big Beagle!", actually Huntress Wizard in the shape of a giant eagle right behind him.

Recency bias maybe but The Crocodile Who Bit a Log is one of my favorite episodes of television.

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.
Spotify stock graph showing a decrease of $28 in one day (Friday 10/24), the day after Spotify’s boycott became a trending topic on Bluesky. This is a roughly 5% decrease in value.
