Happy #IndieAniamtionDay. If you liked early-era Adult Swim you probably will like my show, King Cockroach Live! It's just like that except we do it live every Thursday night on twitch.tv/BossBugKC. Over 40 episodes and counting!

This Indie Animation Day, check out Broats, an indie animated series about 3 goat bros living their best life in an outdoor shopping mall.
They run their own petting zoo, but it’s just an excuse to gain access to all the choice snacks and human comforts of the mall #indieanimationday

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.
