Ireland's artist basic income returned €1.39 for every €1 spent. They made it permanent. South Korea just announced plans to follow. Now Scotland too.

Pen, watercolor, black & white charcoal pencil.

Another featured piece from the Spooky Pants book.

A man in a sweater stands with his hands on his hips looking out of a large window with the curtains open. Things aren’t looking good outside, reader. A massive winged demon is emerging from the clouds as dozens of little ghosts and bone demons rip through the sky. On the ground below we see townsfolk running through the grass. Our man in the window is in no mood for this. He lets us know, “Oh, I am in no mood for this.” His dog looks out the window as well, wagging its tail.

Fantasia (1940) inspired drawing. I think I could’ve gone a little heavier with the chaos outside but we’ll try again with fresh drawings this October. I like how the clouds turned out. Trying to balance my sloppy lines with more detail can be tricky but I think we achieved a good result.

If you enjoy all the benefits of labour strikes and disruption but cannot stand in solidarity with workers, you’re either a class traitor or a boot licker. A friendly reminder, the benefits of parental leave, vacation, set working hours, etc were all fought with blood and human lives. #Solidarity

it’s fun how my landlord insists that my upstairs unit have the ugliest, hardest to clean carpet “for the noise”, but the downstairs neighbours stomp-walk, constantly drag their chairs across their laminate such that it vibrates my teeth, and have kids that body slam the walls when upset

Happy Labor Day

a version of the Seinfeld "what's going on in there" meme. Panel 1 has Jerry asking "Kramer, whats going on in there?" Panel 2 is a mass of protesters with communist iconography. Panel 3 Kramer replies "we have nothing to lose but our chains, Jerry".. Not our OC

For years The New York Times has relentlessly pushed anti-trans propaganda, playing a significant role in the escalating genocide against us. It's far past time for a call to action: anyone who cares ...

Maybe I'm in the minority here but if people who support AI are being shamed into silence then it's working. The shame is working as intended. The left's biggest problem is that it's afraid to hurt the feelings of folks who need to have their feelings hurt. Let them experience introspection for once

Generative AI is the tool and aesthetic of fascism, and that aesthetic only appeals to middle aged divorced sex predators, billionaires, guys who drive cybertrucks, and guys who don't tip. It's the aesthetic of losers, miserable assholes, and guys with a sexual allegations section in their wiki.

a badly drawn comic. panel 1: val washing dishes, a radio set to an 80s/90s station plays rockstar by nickleback. panel 2: val looks up from the dishes, "why does this station play so much nickleback?" panel 3: a lightbulb clicks on, val goes back to the dishes, "cannon."
