I find lesser artists often talk about the struggle of having to pit Quality against Quantity. I say why compromise? I'm a qualnitity man.

🎃

A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

When I was a kid the coolest thing you could do was the chop-dunk, karate-chopping a basketball right through the hoop. You'd yell "CHOP DUNK!" and everyone would cheer. Now "chopped unc" means the opposite but sounds similar, so you don't see people do it anymore. Wedge issue for me. #midterms

Just watched a video on abandoned Georgia, showing some spectacular, crumbling Soviet-era landmarks. Nugzar Manjaparashvili's "Peace" monument is particularly haunting. www.flickr.com/photos/ste_p...

Nugzar Manjaparashvili's "Peace" monument, a highly stylised representation of a woman, lying on her side with her arms outstretched and her palms raised. The concrete used to form the monument is heavily weathered, several of the figure's fingers have broken off and there are holes dotted about the main form which expose the metal structure beneath.
