When you check into a campsite, they should replace your car's horn with a small explosive device. Car alarm goes off? Now your car has a hole in it.

A cow inside a robotic milking machine. A robot arm is attaching hoses to the cows teats. The cow is mostly obscured by the large horizontal stainless steel panels of the machine.

Someone mentioned AI today when I was at a dairy and it took me a moment to realize they were talking about artificial insemination.

Anyway, here’s a milking robot.

A drawing of a grim reaper drifting in a toyota sprinter across a grid landscape in front of the outline of downtown detroit, with a big skull looking over it and a wingding in the corner with a skull and cross bones, a vertical black block down the side of it says "extreme danger!"
big text at the bottom says "lilies are toxic to cats! Do not expose your pet cat to lilies it's very bad for them!"

My new shirt design is a very serious PSA that I was asked to make, because apparently a lot of people don't know.
