Olav Folland

Most "classics" are boring as fuck to a modern reader in no small part because the context of the story is not understood by them and so many of the allusions and "inside jokes" known to then-contemporary readers have been lost in time and in translation

Chicago not letting Portland have all the fun 🐧

For a moment I thought the frog's wang was dangling

Yeah, we've cut most of our salt and it's really noticeable. I do have ramen bricks for when nothing sounds good just look tho lol

With exception it's salt with food added. Marie Calendars pot pies are inedible

Zod the Electric Beaver Zod powered on one day to find their tail not functioning. They need to have it fixed privately, but the one person that could be trusted has mysteriously disappeared

You can of course spend $1.50 to order from Amazon, but thru Smashwords you can get Zod for free* until 10/17. EPub is universal no matter what ebook platform you use.

Kat's had a migraine all day so of course it's 10:30 and I have a gynnan tonnix watching Dead Poets and really wishing I had a cigarette

School stress I suppose

A Black student was found hanging from a tree. Police say there's no sign of foul play Police are investigating the death of a Black college student found hanging from a tree on the campus of Delta State University in Mississippi.

Bsky is billed as a Twitter replacement. Of course their panties are twisted

One of those things is maybe transition care should be after 25. Yes. 25.

Why Transgender People Are Not Feeling Gavin Newsom We have seen this song and dance before.

About gov newsom

one appearance with Charlie Kirk—the far-right activist whose network has poured tens of millions into anti-trans campaigns—Newsom declared he was “completely aligned” with Kirk on some transgender issues

Yeah I've seen this. My sympathy to his family. I don't approve of assassination. But I have no empathy toward him nor the positions that led to his death

Fact Check: Charlie Kirk once said empathy was 'made-up, new age term' The authentic quote from the CEO and co-founder of Turning Point USA circulated online following his fatal shooting on Sept. 10, 2025.

As we remember Kiek tonight remember to offer sympathy to his family but not empathy

Newsom isn't as liberal as we'd like. Ask a trans person

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Governor Polis Orders Flags to Half-Staff to Honor the Anniversary of September 11th and the Passing of Charlie Kirk

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment.

Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

I hate to use the word "professional" because of the implications

I don't believe the 500yd estimates. That's a small number of the most elite Navy Seals or Rangers. The ones that will sit motionless in a gilly suit for days to take *one shot*. 200yds is still someone that knows what they're doing. But that's still within the range of self-radicalized.

Whether it’s Republican politicians joking about the murder of Melissa Hortman or Democratic politicians expressing their condolences after the murder of Charlie Kirk, both parties have a extreme rhetoric problem.

That's a couple million dollars of "oopsie"

3 kids were shot in a Denver school today. I guess kids getting shot isn't newsworthy (afaik they all survived thankfully).

3 teens wounded in shooting at suburban Denver high school, including suspected shooter Authorities say three teens were critically wounded in a shooting at a suburban Denver high school, including the suspected shooter.

Meanwhile 3 teens were shot in a Denver school today. I had to search for it specifically it was buried so far below the fold.

Did we find life on Mars??? Well, no, but we did find maybe the best potential evidence yet. Let’s break it down 🧪🔭

Much like a toddler on a hike, the Perseverance rover has been collecting samples of interesting rocks it finds around the Martian desert. (1/n)

Thanks! We just had a few surprises but I won't rule out updating the book at some point. And there might be a second novella if I can figure out what that means :)

LRT: I've been a full-time, self-employed cartoonist for 18 years and I make about as much as a school teacher with no benefits and way higher taxes. I'm considered a *success* in this industry, think about that.

99% of the artists you run into are a paycheck away from poverty, give us a break.

Burgundy rectangle with "Zod the Electric Beaver" and "Olav Folland"

So anyway I wrote a book about a sentient robot beaver with a broken thwacker.

The Amazon link has a preview if you're interested...

I gave up on a cover. The person that was going to do it flaked despite a cash carrot. The minimum to modify an existing one is $150+ and I couldn't find anything close, so figure $250+ for a book that'll sell a couple dozen tops.

Oops forgot the hashtags :P
