I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.

A 2023 Twitter post from me of a 1970 Moebius illustration of an ornate alien castle, with two figures peering out of a window made out of a sideways glass dome. Someone quoted it to say "7 yr old me at a mcdonalds," and got 38K retweets.

The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said responses by the Federal Aviation Administration to 11 of 33 recommendations made by the board after ​a 2025 mid-air collision killed 67 people near Washington were "unacceptable" and failed to address safety ‌concerns.

Never using any AI chatbot at all ever for anything means you never ever need to worry about prompts showing up in a court document. Big win for smart people. If you're secretly using this stuff maybe stop because clearly they're gonna start digging into prompts when they feel like it

For the 60th, possibly the best #startrek panel gag I've drawn. #myart #heroofthreefaces
Panel 1 of 1. Captain Kirk sword in hand faces off against a large green dragon with smoke trails rising from its nostrils. Kirk says, "We can do this thing, or we can open diplomatic relations." The dragon says, "I'm listening."

I gave Astra my credit card and asked for a Teenage Engineering-style mini DJ controller.
It generated a concept image, sourced parts, read Chinese datasheets, built a CAD model, ordered everything, then made a Blender animation showing how to assemble it.

100%. For those unfamiliar, Van Halen had a line in their rider that essentially said “no brown M&Ms.” It was a way to see if the promoter had actually read the contract. They had a shitload of gear to tour with, so if they’re skipping one thing, it’s guaranteed they’re skipping something essential.
