YouTube video by CBS News Forensics expert analysis of Jeffrey Epstein jail video contradicts government's claims

This is the best breakdown I’ve seen of what is aftually in the #EpsteinVideo youtu.be/edDSqqd9GRM?...

#Fantastic4 #firststeps felt a little bit rushed, but then I like long slow films.

#HappyGilmore2 has weak spots, but was a lot better than expected.

Weak: Enough footage from the first movie was used in flashbacks that they really didn’t need to include the sons of Chubs or the heckler.

Strong points: themes of overcoming loss and addiction + that graveyard scene #mistamista

Best #Superman movies ranked (according to my 12-yo son)

Superman 78 - WOW!
Superman (2025) - Loved it!
Superman Returns - Yeah, it’s OK.
Man of Steel - Sorry, it’s not my thing.

As much as I like Henry Cavill, I had to agree.

Sadly, Trump is incapable of the growth and change Scrooge experienced despite being haunted by the ghost of an old friend.

Thanks. I have no idea how any of this works.

Real human artists, share the last 4 pieces of art that you made.

I hope I’m doing this right. #humanArtists

Luke did NOT like the tsunami alerts today. Very stressful. (We live nowhere near the water.)

The thing about being a creative is that some percentage of people are going to love you. Some will hate you, and others will be indifferent. It doesn’t matter how good or bad you are. You could put a Rembrandt on the wall and get those exact reactions. So you might as well just do what you love.

punk rock is a life choice 🫵🏻 👊🏻

YouTube video by National Gallery of Art TINTORETTO's Masterpieces Changed My View of Renaissance Art Forever with Stanley Tucci

Spent some time with #Tintoretto this morning. youtu.be/YXt3tBxc2WE?...

Here’s an earlier view of the same image.

Having fun with some character sketches. Just working out a few details and experimenting with my brushes. Not totally happy with it yet, but that’s part of the fun.

#SketchToFinal of #ScroogeAndMarley from #AChristmasCarol #Kidlit

I’m sure I could do more with this, but it was only ever intended to be a quick sketch while I sorted out some brushes. Now I’m kind of interested in illustrating the whole story.#Scrooge #AChristmasCarol #ScroogeAndMarley #MarleysGhost #KidLit

My goal was to organize the brushes I’ve been using, but I ended up really enjoying what started out as a silly little sketch. Now I think I wanna add the background #ScroogeAndMarley #AChristmasCarol #KidLit #Scrooge

#Superman was FUN

It certainly was not perfect, but it was a really fun movie with some great moments and tons of member berries.

I’ve always loved #AChristmasCarol
I always have the faint hope that someone rich and evil will somehow see the errors of their ways and have a cathartic change like #Scrooge

If only that were true.

I didn’t have a strong opinion about CBS before, but now I do. Now I see that instead of protecting free speech and journalism, the kowtow to dictators. #FuckCBS #TheLateShow #StephenColbert

I have so many brushes that I’ve altered and customized that it’s time to finally sit down and get them all organized. So I started sketching and who should show up but Scrooge and his friend Marley. #Scrooge #MarleysGhost #KidLit #ChristmasCarol

This is totally me today. Cannot wake up. #SleepyZombie #NapTime #CannotWakeUp #IWannaBeSedated #ZombieIllustration #SpookyIllustration #CreepyIllustration
