I paint, I cartoon, I hula-hoop, I write, I read a LOT, and play fetch with Eddie the cat. I'm happiest when making things & listening to music.

I’ve been rewatching the Coen Bros filmography this month and while drawing a Barton Fink illustration, it struck me how much their films feel like Far Side cartoons: funny, strange, clever, yet frequently inscrutable. Anyway here’s a thread!

Putting a 10 year old on tv to talk about his friend being shot at school is a different level of diabolical.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

This is a timely reminder.
Just want to chime in and agree with all the people that have been saying that it is not stupid or frivolous to make art even though it feels like the world is going crazy right now.
On the contrary, it's books and movies and music and art that gets us through the hard times – so we need it now.

I needed a palate cleanser on my timeline, and baby bison zoomies delivered.
Baby bison zoomies alert! 💨 Meet Samson, the newest (and speediest) member of our Free-Roaming Area herd. Born over Memorial Day Weekend, this fluffy little calf has already mastered the art of sprinting joyfully across 435 acres of forested fields like he owns the place. 🦬

Why hasn't the 1 call to free Abrego-Garcia happened?
Either
A) He can't: Mr. "art of the deal" actually can't deliver even with ALL the leverage,
or
B) He won't: to look "strong"
Whether it's a) impotence or b) petulance, both endanger all domestically & internationally, citizens & visitors.

People who are looking for a way to fight Trump, I have it for you in one name: Kilmar Abrego-Garcia.
He's the poor guy who got pulled off the street, declared a gang member for no reason, then sent off to that hell-hole in El Salvador.
Fight for him because this case will unravel everything. 🧵

It's traditions like today that bring together all our branches of government to stand in respect of each other - that underpins the guardrails of our democracy.
The only power that the Constitution truly recognizes is power that's capable of humbling itself before our people.
