positive reframing is such a nice tool when you think "I feel like I'm drowning and one or two hard emails away from the burnout knocking me out of commission" you can instead think "honestly I can't believe my nervous system is even functioning at all with all the nonstop horrors lately"

“Your windows need scrubbing,” said Frog. “Your plants need watering.” “Tomorrow!” cried Toad. “I will do it all tomorrow!”
Frog, ever the know-it-all, points out all the shortcomings of Toad's housekeeping. It is true, though, that Toad's house is a mighty mess, including a pile of dirty dishes in the sink.

From "Tomorrow"

Also, invading & kidnapping the leader of another country, & then seizing its material assets, is an egregious violation of the UN Charter &, because we should take the law, Constitution, & our signed, ratified international treaties seriously, should immediately end his presidency.

Today's reminder that both threatening our NATO allies with territorial conquest & the war in Iran are egregious violations of the UN Charter &, because we should take the law, Constitution, & our signed, ratified international treaties seriously, should immediately end his presidency.

I feel like we are so used to living in a time of madness that we can't grasp just how insane the Kennedy Center dispute is. Trump took something that was running just fine and destroyed it because he couldn't put his name next to the murdered president whose memorial it is. That's completely nuts.

Re:that last, the DESPERATION of genAI marketing is what really stands out to me. I can think of some dot com boom marketing that was pretty aggressive, but this is a whole different level of trying to manufacture a market for a product people didn't ask for & are repeatedly saying they do not want.

Imagine if Redwall had become the cultural juggernaut instead of the mold bigot. Redwall adults in their mouse ears preparing delicious banquets, their children in smaller mouse ears producing very strange dishes to contribute.

I wouldn't call myself a cartoonist, but I had the vision and just needed it to be on paper to the best of my ability.
A hand drawn eight panel cartoon. First two panels are a colander sitting frowning on a shelf. Then the colander is frowning straining pasta, then three more panels of frowning sitting on a shelf. Then a big panel where it's projecting a bunch of crescent eclipse shapes and smiling with speech bubbles around saying "Wow! Look! Amazing! Beautiful!" And then one final panel where it's sitting on a shelf smiling.

Any leftist politician, party, or government itself is going to have to reckon with the sobering reality that one of the major and most influential pillars of the global far right power movement is JK Rowling. That is fact. Equal rights will never be achieved while she continues to hold influence.

Republicans constantly say they don’t like DEI because it means that people are given jobs for which they don’t have enough qualifications. They then turn around and make Darline Graham Nordone a senator, a woman whose only qualification for the job is being the sister of a dead senator. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Statement on Supreme Court Transgender Ban in High School Sports 

Sports have always been a place where young people learn resilience and find community. No child should be told that who they are disqualifies them from that experience. Despite today’s Supreme Court ruling, Minnesota Aurora will continue to support transgender youth and the schools and coaches who want every kid to thrive. 
Every young person deserves a fair shot to play, belong, and grow through sports.

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!
From the article: 
"I think that until the bubble bursts, AI will be used by quite a few game companies, and perhaps even beyond the bubble," says Brandon Sheffield of Necrosoft Games, which released the RPG Demonschool last year. "Look, I am not a fool – I understand that AI has some uses. Primary among those being the devaluing of work, the cheapening of labour, the laying off of creatives, and the generation of busywork for humans to fix whatever AI generates."

"It's also useful for burning through water, raising the prices of RAM and chipsets globally, and poisoning anyone near the data centres that run them. So there are a lot of use cases for AI. From spurring on the death of the creative endeavour to dissolving our economy, AI is absolutely gangbusters at what it does. We don't use it in our studio though."
