Well I was going to go to bed and then I needed to know. Turns out I talk like where I've lived. Who knew?

Literally and figuratively:

I opened Adobe Acrobat today and there is a straight-up advertisement for LinkedIn, Dropbox, and Logitech in the lower-right corner. I cannot close the ad; I can only click text that reads, "Redeem now." This is software that I PAY FOR.

Tech billionaires apparently cannot fathom having an opinion that isn't driven by profit

I made this as today's protest ICE GTFO of my city

A cartoon of ICE agent Jonathan Ross, the killer of Renee Good in Minneapolis this week, pointing his bloody fingers and holding his bloody phone. Captions with arrows pointing to parts of his body read: "broken ears, deaf to suffering," "haircut he thinks looks badass," "tiny lemming brain," "soulless eyes," "coward mask," and, "gnarled ghoul hands that enact state-sanctioned violence against innocent & peaceful humans." A large banner on the right side reads, "Icky Chuds Eww" with the first letters larger, in blue, spelling out "ICE."

That's a seat from the Zipper

Photo of the fair/carnival ride "Zipper." It's like a giant tank tread with free-spinning seats attached to it. The whole thing is elevated off the ground and spins while the tread spins and the seats also spin. Everything spins and the couple times I've ridden it myself have left me light-headed and nauseous for hours, but I digress.

Gee I wonder if this has anything to do with deleting his post about Rump being in the Epstein files. Amazing how transparently self-serving Musk is; how unendingly terrible he is at pretending his motives are anything but. He is also apparently unaware of the Streisand Effect

D-Pad and buttons are smaller than average, which is consistent with the unit itself. It's *tiny*. Pad is firm, and each direction has a clear click to it. The edges of the plus shape curve away from the unit slightly, which means you have to move your thumb a little less-far. Satisfying & precise.

Close-up of Playdate D-Pad. Outer points of the "plus" shape curve outward from the unit.

I'm very excited to see where this console goes, and what it inspires in the future. It's a breath of fresh air in a deeply oversaturated videogames market.

My hand, holding a Playdate micro console. It's a 3" yellow square with a d-pad, A & B buttons, and a crank on the side.

first place my brain went uh, sorry?

Panel 1: Photo of Donald Trump falling up the stairs while boarding Air Force One. His near-perfect unintentional re-enactment of the iconic "Biden falling up stairs" video that has claimed untold amounts of air time across the media spectrum.
Panel 2: Same moment, from a side angle. Closeup of Trump's face and white-knuckled hand gripping the handrail. His expression is the same deep, terrified flinch as in the iconic, "struggling with a bald eagle."
Panel 3: Neck is artificially lengthened (classic bespoke photo manipulation, not fucking AI) and curves about four feet forward, out of the photo frame, up into the white frameless void, then forward again. The words, "biden's fault" are light grey, floating in the white nothingness next to his mouth.

A throwback to 2019. The simpler days when the administration was only starting to dismantle the rule of law. Before generative AI started systematically enshittifying the entire internet, too, incidentally.

A three panel political cartoon.
Panel 1: Image of AOC dancing in a T-Shirt and knee-high skirt. An elephant in a suit yells, with arms raised, "OCASIO-CORTEZ!! Young, IRRESPONSIBLE! DANCED on VIDEO in COLLEGE!!"
Panel 2: Head-and-shoulders mage of a young Beto O'Rourke in a modest flowery dress. Elephant in suit, jittery and spitting, screams, "O'ROURKE!! ROCK BAND PUNK BAAACK IN..."
Panel 3: Image of Brett Kavanaugh sitting in his confirmation hearing (the same one at which he literally cried about loving beer). Elephant in suit--spitting, shaking, crying, with trunk flying forward and around Kavanaugh in a protective manner--shrieks, "HIGHSCHOOL!? AGES AGO! NO MATTER--nothing to see here..."

I see that "don't be evil" has become "be unapologetically evil."

Found this old sketchbook caricature I did of Dromp back in 2015 when the National Nightmare was still just brewing. Posting today to 'celebrate' the tariffs that are going to wreak havoc on my small US-based studio. #tariff #tariffs

Caricature of Donold Dromp waggling his stupid finger at a podium.

Saw the new official photo and couldn't believe the photographer underlit the shot. It looks like a Karloff classic, and I couldn't help but do a quick edit:

My dog always has to offgas some energy before bed, and I have to protect myself from her inner beast for at least three minutes before she plops into sleep mode. Pictured: my elite unparryable stiff arm move
