A drawing of my OC Ashton dressed in outlandish, patchy macaroni/racoco fashion, looking much like a clown. He is standing with his rump out and a cane with novelty chatter teeth. There is a banana peel under foot. Waiting. Ready.

Love you, Detroit. ⛽️
I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union. The Detroit News SERVING MICHIGAN SINCE 1873 FORD UAW: Ford worker who heckled Trump kept job, 'no discipline' on record

…people who write about statistics often display an astounding lack of understanding of the nature of the figures they are analysing, their authenticity and their suitability for drawing certain conclusions.

People like this are fascinating.
He didn’t make anything. Nobody is buying what he’s selling. Yet he is still worked up and anxious over it. Why?

Token Anxiety

i think i mostly echo this for myself. with so much that can be done, i often feel like i *should* be doing something, always
Token Anxiety Nikunj Kothari C @nikunj • Feb 13 A friend left a party at 9:30 on a Saturday. Not tired. Not sick. He wanted to get back to his agents. Nobody questions it anymore. Half the room is thinking the same thing. The other half are probably checking the progress of their agents. At a party. All the parties are sober now. Young people don't drink because they're going back to work after. Not inspired by Bryan Johnson, although that's probably a factor. The buzz they want now runs on tokens per day. I keep noticing it on walks through the Mission. Laptops glowing everywhere. Cafes, sidewalks, heck even park benches. People walking with screens open like a flashlight guiding them somewhere. Less drunk laughter on the streets these days. More keystrokes. Dinner conversations used to start with "what are you building?" That's over. Now it's "how many agents do you have running?" People drop the number the way they used to drop their follower count. Quietly competitive. The flex isn't what you've accomplished anymore. It's what's working while you're sitting here not working. The vocabulary is what really gets me though. People describe models the way sommeliers describe wine. This one has better taste. That one hallucinates with more confidence. Opus is bold, Codex is smooth. They talk about harnesses and reins like they're controlling horses. Invisible whips directing invisible labor. Someone at a dinner said they keep labor. Someone at a dinner said they keep "Claude on a tight leash for code review but give it more slack for creative work." We've started borrowing the language of how we treat animals for something none of us actually understand yet. Waking up and checking what your agents produced overnight is the first thing now. Before coffee. Before texts. You open your laptop and grade homework you assigned in your sleep. Some of it is good. Most needs rework. But you start shipping a plan before you sleep just so you can wake up to more code written overnight. Saturdays became uninterrupted build windows. No meetings, no Slack, twelve hours of you and your agents. Sunday morning X is all terminal screenshots and shipping receipts. "What'd you ship this weekend?" replaced "what'd you do this weekend?" The anxiety is rational, which is why it sticks. Every week some new benchmark drops that makes last month's workflow feel prehistoric. Codex ships overnight processing. Opus gets faster. Context windows double. None of it reduces the pressure. It multiplies it. You can do more now. And someone already is. The window to be first at anything feels like it's shrinking by the day. Literally, by the day. I replaced Netflix with Claude Code. I lie in bed thinking about what I can spin up before I fall asleep, what can run while I'm unconscious. Reading a novel feels indulgent now. Watching a movie without a laptop open feels wasteful. This voice in my head that says "something could be running right now" just doesn't shut off. I'm not even building a company. I'm just addicted to building my random ideas. Everyone here knows they should step away more. That's not the problem. The problem is what your brain does when you try. I still take a x ss walks. The agents come with me now.

This is where Libs are pretty funny.
Never? No Russian interference at all?
They interfered like mad with the 1960 election hoping to get the more Dovish Kennedy over Nixon.
Political sapience didn’t start til 2000 for most of these people.

Aimlessly doodled my character Steve today to commemorate his birthday.

He’s a bassist in an 80s glam metal band, and a complete goober. He puts on a little bit of a cool guy act on stage but it’s completely flimsy— he’s too sweet for it to really work.

Welcome to the world, Ceres (name and design pending). Happy Valentine's Day
An angel-boy-toy colored black, blue, and magenta, holds a bow adorned with a similarly magenta arrow. To keep it simple, imagine if Dark Pit from Kid Icarus Uprising and Krystal from Star Fox Adventures had a baby. Horrific, I know. Ceres is looking up over to his left, smiling cutely with blue and magenta lips. He has black, white and blue wings sticking out his back, some feathers loosely flying off. He should probably get that checked out. His forelimbs are wrapped with chains, with white arm warmers and boots underneath his forearms and shins respectively. His tail is also a chain, ending with, you guessed it, a magenta heart. The design is rough, okay. I'm workin on it. He also has a neck scarf, loosely wrapped around his shoulders. He's got a white choker and a bare chest, otherwise, colored with a blue undertone. he's got white shorts and they're cute. Descriptive text around him reads: "Cristal the Cupid?? Cereza the Lover-Boy ?? Ceres ?? ? ? PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD JOIN HANDS START A LOVE TRAIN LOVE TRAIN -Angel of bonds, love, and connection -'Nudges' things in the right direction so that love, fortune, and happiness between two or more can strengthen -Or just to mess with people. -does NOT alter the hearts of others, only their circumstances -Was completely formless for over a century until becoming inspired by the art and conversations made between two Special Boys it helped pull together, with him craving a bond between them -mundane form is one of those shitty toys with foam wings that flutter around everywhere" Depicted near this text is a doodle of him as one of these toys, looking stupid. Ceres again. He's posed similarly, this time looking at the viewer while readying his bow. Ceres says, "If you hooked up today: Nice. And, You're welcome. "If you had a nice day with a friend today, you're also welcome. "If you fumbled a catch today. I'm sorry. it's my fault. it's all my fault i'm so fuckg sorry dude"

I think what's getting frustrating about some of the "Resist_Libs" on here is it's a lot of preaching to the choir.
Political cartoon #10,000 of him with doo-doo stained pants doesn't really break any new ground. Either tell me a new crime to read off during his [redacted] or be silent.

Az, an ordinary man who happens to be a robot toy horse
Az, a white anthropomorphic toy-pegasus, flies through space. A massive black hole with its disc sits in view a good distance behind him. Streaks of rainbow with sputters of black inky energy bursts from Az's high-heeled shoes with horseshoes nailed underneath. He's got a cowboy vest, hat, and stirrups on, all black and dark blue with an ethereal blue undertone. Az himself is solid white with cyan hair, painted nails, and arm warmers, with bright white wings outstretched on his back. He's looking at the viewer mischievously, his own eyes having off-white cyan "whites" and deeper cyan irises. He also has distinct eyelashes with stylized, round tips. Az's arms are outstretched in different directions as he soars in style, his whole body bent in a fashion as if to suggest he's just narrowly avoided colliding with the viewer. Dark, ethereal rainbow streaks and nebulae little the background behind Az. Text around him reads, "(This is) THE RETURN of [AZ] the SPACE COWBOY Interplanetary Good! Vibe Zone..." Az drinks a beer while watching a phone. He's toy-sized here. The phone is upside down, with similarly upside down text reading "Az fone", indicating it is His phone (fone) The Beer in the first panel reads as BEEIEIR, and, in contradiction, is just written as BER for the rest. ARGURRAAGRGLUGLRRRRR is the noise Az makes as he downs the Beer, forcefully, showing his sharp teeth. He then reverts to a dumb, empty-headed smile, watching on his fone. Then his face caves in, making the noise SNIFFFK before popping back to normal. This sequence was inspired by a gif of a toy of Pinkie Pie squashing her face in and out again. Az approaches a crudely drawn human. He's really big here, like 10' something minimum. His eyes are wide, with his pupils in the shape of stars. His sleeves, shaped like hooves, reveal two human-like arms sticking out of them almost haphazardly, which are reaching for the human. The human is staring back with a comically wide-eyed look of fear. Az's head is tilted in a wide-legged stance, which I have this habit of drawing characters in. "hello" Az says. He's big enough that he has to lower himself, being at risk of scraping the ceiling if he were to slightly raise his upper body. He dwarfs everything else in the, admittedly, crudely drawn abstract room, filled with what looks like furniture.

my feelings for him are aggressive
Zero the Jackal poses with a stance that looks suspiciously similar to John Lennon's Funny Walk, which looks suspiciously similar to Robert Crumb's Keep On Truckin'; one foot behind him, another in front of him with a wide-legged stance. In my case for drawing this, I only realized after having finished it. Maybe it was subconscious? Zero has a determined yet goofy look on his face, one eyebrow lowered, his tongue sticking out, and his two fists clenched and held close to his somewhat shapely chest. He's got his cute little fangs showing as well, despite his mouth being closed. He does that on-purpose, by the way Zero in another wide-legged stance, though he looks less goofy here. Dangerously cool, in-fact. There's a much more dynamic perspective at play than the previous drawing, with him having a fist against his hip and the other gesturing and pointing at the viewer, bent at the wrist. Probably because he's gay or something. He looks as if he's shouting cockily at the viewer. He shouldn't be looking this confident and cocky. It's kind of disturbing Zero sits on his knees, adjusting his tendril-like hair at the back of his head with one hand and preparing to open a scrunchie held around his fingers with the other. He's got his tongue sticking out again, looking up over, as if looking over to a spot he can't see would help him. Fucking idiot
