Also this! ;)

True!

Da fuq?!

Learning tonight that sometimes you just gotta get outta the way of the characters.

Second draft is going to be like wrangling a bunch of lethal toddlers though.

Okay, hear me out... @tylerwalpole.bsky.social has done a ton of art for CR...and also did the SpongeBob Secret Lair.

This is my new favorite post on this site.

Pichelli has since said this was taken out of context from an off-hand conversation she had at a busy con with someone who did not identify himself as a journalist and is twisting her words for click bait

Which is extra fun since this is the post that took off and doesn't even include a source link

Dang it, Chris.

You’re very kind to ask!

I’m locked in to freelancing in 2026, but in 2027 I might take time off to just do shows and work on my own thing. If that happens, I’ll definitely have a Patreon or something similar going. :)

Interesting to me at the very least!

Didn’t we have a farm crisis last time Trump was in office?

Um.

I’ve hit a tipping point where I want to work on my creator-owned thing so much that it’s hard to work on my freelance.

Dear Muses, I got bills to pay. If you can just hang tight, we’ll get there.

They both like their fire spells, that’s for sure!

How actions indicate character:

Kit, a pitcher, ducks as she's used to line drives coming back at her

Marla, a middle infielder, plants herself to field the ball

Dottie, a catcher, catches the ball

Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right.

this is a really excellent rundown of the many reasons for our current inequality in America, worth your time

By “sovreignty” he means “states should be weak enough so that billionaires like me should be able to treat them as feudal vassals” bsky.app/profile/lora...

Had a crushing wave of self-doubt about my story last night. What if there’s no emotional payoff in there? Am I just wasting my time? Is this simply sunk cost fallacy?

Then I remembered that this is just the first draft. Settle down, doubt-goblins. We’ll fix it in post.

It’s all transparently bullshit and immune to rationality, but if struggling to stabilize half a burning boat to avoid drowning is “getting back in the fight,” what they’re really saying is there’s nothing the survivors could have done to avoid being killed. And that definitely isn’t the law.

St Louis got the best of me

Mighty Nein is so freaking good.

Cool signature!

Seems like we used to have a Fourth Estate.

Turns out, for me at least, that a lot of writing is saying “I’m not sure exactly how this part will work, but I’ll figure it out when I get there.”

I then put off worrying about it, and let it percolate in my subconscious until the last minute.

Mostly that’s been working out!

"I'm havin a breakdown," says one crudely-drawn stick figure to another. "You'll be OK," says the second. The first stick figure exclaims, "AGGHHH", and collapses. His head and outstretched arms and legs spell out the letters O-K.

You’ll Be OK

I mean, if it’s an “official act” he can’t be prosecuted for it. Thanks, SCOTUS…you fuckwits.

The blatant pardon-corruption stuff is really grinding my gears for some reason.

No surprise: handing the FBI to conspiratorial podcasters creates even darker outcomes. Dan Bongino's update today reads like a wishlist from the techbros who already got your personal data, now are inserting AI tools into the FBI. Reporters must ask: is the company here Peter Thiel's Palantir? 1/

Definitely not! lol! I just got moved in here, and I really do enjoy winters. I am very much not into hot weather.

So, I don’t really mind the endless days of cold in the forecast, but I *do* hope we get to see the sun a bit more this week.
