This meditation on the color yellow is one of the best videos I've ever seen, broadly speaking: youtu.be/IDbNGz0JPxo (also see the videos on hearts, and slugs, and larvae!)

Why is Yellow Special? Broadly speaking.

Ballpoint pen, watercolor, acrylic paint, copic marker, and colored pencil.

A man in a sweater vest carefully walks through a field of wild flowers. He’s concerned about accidentally stepping on his colleague so he calls out, “Don’t wanna stomp ya out. Clap so I know where you’re at.” Beneath the flowers we see a very teeny man, also in a sweater vest, clapping to make his location known. Their plan works. No one is stomped. 

The meaning of this piece is open to interpretation. If we don’t take the scene literally, the smaller man could be a version of the larger man that exists somewhere in his subconscious. A part of him that needs to make itself known so it isn’t forgotten (or stomped out). Artist’s note: I usually start off drawing with no plan to turn it into a “comic” or whatever this is. For this one I started by just sketching flowers. I think originally I had dozens of little creatures clapping before simplifying it into the final version.

In my opinion Democrats get nothing nothing NOTHING by betraying trans people. They hurt themselves with a good deal of their committed voter base, and still don’t get the Republican votes they are so fucking obsessed with winning over. Lose-lose! People hate voting for squishy moral cowards!!

Yes Ma'am was a local to us band that was a huge influence on us, this song in particular is a huge part of why our song Vidalia is the way it is. Incredibly sad to hear of Matt's passing, truly a one of a kind voice and talent who will be missed.

NEW: i dove deep into the plans for several massive power plants being built specifically to power data centers crucially, they're designed much less efficiently than gas-fired power plants that are connected to the electric grid: www.wired.com/story/real-r...
wired.com
The Real Reason Data Center Gas Power Plants Are So Dirty
A massive new gas plant in Texas will be built with much less efficient technology than regular gas plants. It’s far from the only data center power project to rely on dirty turbines.

An America where working people can make ends meet, live comfortably, afford healthcare, and have aspirational lives. But billionaires can’t become trillionaires. That’s the nightmarish dystopia Democratic Socialists envision.

Scientific American is 180 years old. The most eminent science magazine for the general public. And today, sold off as scrap to stop the staff from unionizing. Many top editors I've worked with for a decade on several articles have been fired. What a disgrace @sciam.bsky.social

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

At the age of 40 I finally found a type of pillow that satisfied my every need. Compressibility, consistency, etc. They have since discontinued this pillow. This and similar indignities will persist until I die 🙂

I dreamt of the beach (1/4)
Page one: text on black background, “WAKE UP!”. Eyes open, a baby sea turtle with an eggshell helmet says, “you need to wake up!”Page 2: helmet turtle says to a green baby sea turtle, who is waking up out off his egg, “we need to get moving.” CRASH! A cormorant breaks through the ceiling of their nest hole. Helmet turtle says MOVE!Page 3: “when you’re out there, beeline to the water. Don’t stop. Don’t be a hero. Godspeed.” The helmet turtle kicks baby green turtle out the hole off a cliff onto the beach below.Page 4: baby green turtle lands on the sand. The distance between him and the water is quite large. Another baby sea turtle is being devoured by a seagull and is screaming for help.

I just gotta say: This incredibly powerful man's conception of consciousness is the worst reading of cognitive psychology that I've ever seen. When understood properly, the interplay of sensation, perception, working memory, and long-term memory should inspire the same awe as a symphony.

True Art
(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa)

BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history.
REGINALD: Wow! What's it do?

BEARTATO: It... what?
REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do?

(Beartato thinks.)

BEARTATO: I don't know.

REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do?

EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this!

(The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet)
MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk!

(Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance. Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

Bees 🐝
This art features 100 bees of various colors and shapes.
These bees are designed in a cartoonish style, based on real species. The common name or species is written below the animals.
Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests.  Cute and colorful atmosphere. There are over 20,000 species of bees, so I only depicted a very small fraction of them!

Wael Tarabishi, the last person I wrote about for the Star-Telegram, died on Friday. Wael’s health declined rapidly after his father and primary caretaker, Maher, was detained by ICE last fall. The Tarabishi family believes that if Maher had not been arrested, Wael would still be alive. I do too.

It’s crazy how you can give the pharmacy a random combination of letters and numbers and your meds will go from $1200 to $35. But only if you are digitally savvy enough to go to the drug manufacturers website. It’s built to take advantage of non savvy people. American healthcare is so broken.
