damn, that just compounds the awfulness. this makes me grateful my daughters trust me enough to share difficult and painful things with me. i am sincerely sad to hear this happened to you. i hope to demonstrate a better level of masculinity for the world around me.

this is awful. sadly, this lines up with all the stories from basically every woman in my life, including three grown daughters. our culture is broken, and our men are lost in a sea of repugnant behavior that culture reinforces and systemically supports.

had a thought about this a while back...
two-panel cartoon of Trumpy (#20, volume 2), with the title/logo in the top left corner, "by the Dæricks Gröss" in the top right corner, the Studio G logo in the bottom left corner with "find us on BlueSky @trumpy.studiogart.net", and "Vol.2#20 03-09-2025" in the bottom right corner.

both panels depict a lampoon of President Trump ("Trumpy") seated relaxed on a sofa in his office.  Panel one is closer in, we only see Trumpy on the sofa and a corner of his desk to indicate it is there.  Panel 2 zooms back a bit to see both the sofa and his desk with no one seated and Vance behind the chair holding a Project 2025 book in his hands.  behind the empty desk and Vance is a U.S. flag with the blue star field replaced with a blue field with the twitter/X logo in the middle and four christian nationalist crosses surrounding it.  there is little action other than the two of them speaking.

Panel 1 Trumpy thinking to himself: "let's see... i've got the media moguls under control.  defense, intelligence, justice, and security locked in.  the court is mine. congress is weak and disorganized...  i can detain and deport anyone i want. chaos is everywhere, no one can stop me."

Panel 2 Trumpy speaking: "hhmmmm..."
Vance: "Lost in thought, sir?"
Trumpy: "just deciding if i should fabricate and declare a state of emergency and halt all elections during or after my first 100 days in office..."

one-panel promo for the satire cartoon series Trumpy, with the title/logo in the top left corner, "by the Dæricks Gröss" in the top right corner, and the Studio G logo in the bottom left corner with "find us on BlueSky @trumpy.studiogart.net".

image depicts a lampoon of President Trump ("Trumpy") standing, scowling, with his arms behind his back in a completely blank white panel.  In large letters above him is the tagline "A satire series about America's worst decision".

There is a dialogue balloon from Trumpy saying "I am a very stable genius."

THIS is the conversation i've been trying to have with men in my circles, this guy is waaay more eloquent about it. a solid summation, and the exact challenge that every 'good guy' out there needs to introspect deeply and ruminate on. what are you willing to do to protect a woman you don't know?

this tells me there was some racist joking backstage where everyone was having a disgusting chuckle over some rude stereotype now lost in the translation when President No-Focus came out and reassembled the disconnected bits and let them fall out of his mouth...

had a thought about this last week...
four-panel cartoon of Trumpy (#74, volume 2), with the title/logo in the top left corner, "by the Dæricks Gröss" in the top right corner, the Studio G logo in the bottom left corner with "find us on BlueSky @trumpy.studiogart.net", and "Vol.2#74 09-25-2026" in the bottom right corner.

All panels depict Trumpy sitting at his desk with Vance, Hegseth, and Miller in the room to the right of the desk. The panels are exactly the same except for their expressions, and except for Hegseth who is pouring a drink in Panel 1, holding a full glass in panel 2, holding an empty glass in Panel 3, and pouring a fresh drink in Panel 4.  Trumpy's hand is seen on the desk in Panels 1 and 2, with large dark purple discoloration on it.  The room has beige walls, a blue floor, large window behind Trumpy's desk, and blue curtains, drawn open.  There is money scattered loosely about throughout the entire room and on the desk.  Vance is clutching a large red book in his arms labeled 'Project 2025'.  Miller is depicted with a red nazi armband.  The end of Trumpy's tie is seen sticking out from under his desk, implying it is a really absurdly long tie.

Panel 1
Vance speaking: "Sir, the war with Iran is proving to be very unpopular, as well as straining our military resources.  And our hostilities with Venezuela have been problematic at best..."

Panel 2
Vance: "With the midterms coming, we shuold think of ways to sp-"
Trumpy, interrupting outburst: "CUBA! We should attack Cuba next!"

Panel 3
They all sit silently for a moment.

Panel 4
Everyone smiling.
Vance: "Excellent idea, sir!"
Hegseth: "I like it! More war!"
Miller: "I like attacking brown people for no good reasons..."

this has been on my mind: i used to think the good guys outnumbered the bad guys. as i have grown i came to see the reality is that there are also fearful/inactive guys, those who see themselves as not bad, but won't take action when it is needed. it saddens me how few men of character there are.
