iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

#SouthCarolina #scwx #HurricaneIsaias We're getting a weird upflow of wet air from the Atlantic from the east side winds of Isaias, so hopefully we'll actually get the rain this weekend (unlike last weekend, where they predicted a couple inches of rain and we got nothing).

A joined pair of graphics from the National Weather Service in Columbia, South Carolina. The first is a photograph of a dark stormy sky. The second is an informational graphic for the three day outlook. Today will be normal for early to mid October. Tomorrow, Hurricane Isaias brings rain and winds up to 30 miles per hour. Sunday the rain should end early.

Day 2 of New York Comic Con! I'm at Table WB-11 in the Writers Block. However, the con didn't label the Writers Block in any meaningful fashion, so just go to row K/L of Artists Alley. We're toward the front of the room. I'm between DC Gomez and Lancelot Schaubert. Come by and buy!

I couldn’t let the announcement of a new Tyrannosaurid pass without illustrating it. So here’s my take on the new kid on the block: Tromerosaurus solumons. #SciArt

A digital illustration shows a large bipedal dinosaur - a relative of T.rex walking amongst tall trees in a sunlit forest.

Annie Andrews obviously doesn’t, so who are we supposed to vote for then?

right. this isn’t a somber public execution to show people what it means for the state to murder someone. this is a celebration of violence for its own sake. the fact that the nidal hasan is helpless and infirm is no doubt part of the appeal. bsky.app/profile/spir...

I’m so serious when I say y’all have to stop treating amab nonbinary people like men. & I mean the people who already respect afab nonbinary folks. Do you know how many amab enbies tell me I’m the 1st person to see & respect them? What are we doing? I’m happy to help, but the bar is on the ground

I did two u-turns to get a picture of this sign, because it made me laugh so hard.

A view of a restaurant called the Cherry Cricket, where a billboard has had many letters knocked out of the last word so that it reads "summoned by burgers and cock ai"
The AI has been scooted far enough over that it is likely not meant to be included in the joke.

❌ AI generated slop menus with pictures that make your food look like worms ✅ scribbles on a piece of paper saying how much the soup cost

4 panel comic: Panel 1: A chef with a wooden spoon talks to a brown dog (bruno). He says “I have a new business!” Bruno answers “cool!” Panel 2: he shows his menu. He says “this is my menu”. We can’t quite read what it says yet Panel 3: a zoom in on the menu. It has just a few lines written on it. Soup: 1. Bread: 1. Soup + Bread: 2. He kept it very simple! Panel 4: He shows Bruno a small pencil. He says “I designed it with this”. Bruno approves and goes “nice!”

Third party candidates don't do well for big seats here in South Carolina (they do tend to do better than average in local elections). So maybe the Constitution Party guy will pull a few thousand votes, but they'd be more likely to just not bother to vote at all. (source: lived here since 1990)

My fault for not rescheduling this appointment that the doctor's office made for me, but I'm really shocked at how me, the early bird, who used to wake up at 5:30 every weekday so I could get an hour of MUD-ding in before work now can't get up before 7:30 - 8am. #adulting #aging #NotForWimps

For @us.theguardian.com, I spoke to Native WNBA fans about the loss of the Connecticut Sun. “For a tribe that fought long and hard to be granted tribal sovereignty, the [sale] decision being taken out of their hands can feel like a violation of that sovereignty.”

When guys talk about wrestling since they were 14 or 15, it's not bullshit. A lot of indy promotions will train the kids the same way you'd let a kid play football after school, and then put them on opening matches for a year or two. It's a legally grey area in some states (child labor laws).

1) Queen Aminata and Janai Kai absolutely beat the shit out of each other. Stiff as all hell. 2) Trish Adora/B3cca started hilarious and then they both got serious about throwing each other around. 3) Satnam Singh showed up 4) Bishop Kaun got a good win 5) Bandido/Fox was AMAZING #wrestlesky
