Beyond just being told no and then him immediately looking for another loophole or authority that won't stop him.

Seems like the President blatantly breaking the law to send troops into Democratically-led cities should have... what do you call them? Consequences?

Hope my heirs know what to do with these art assets for a board game.

Was kind of looking forward to bequeathing it to someone on my deathbed.

"You must... complete the download..."

Now down to about 35 minutes so that's good.

A multi-generational download.

Just had a download tell me it's going to take 57 years to complete.

Alex can be a girl’s name too. The pattern holds.

A pad of Strathmore smooth Bristol paper

I mainly use Strathmore smooth Bristol paper. Relatively inexpensive, holds the ink well, and has enough weight to it that I'm not going to accidentally crumple it while working.

I used to rub my eyes all the time due to seasonal allergies and so had no real issue with that part of things.

My biggest problem is that when I'm focusing on things, I tend not to blink very often. I've literally had a contact just fall out of my eye onto a drawing I was working on.

We had a neighbour who got so freaked out the first time she tried to put her contacts in that she fainted.

I tried a few different "anti-fog" wipes during the height of COVID and mostly found that they were good for a bit and then would just make the fog into larger droplets.

An Amazon listing for Beasts of the Four Nations: Creatures from Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra with the release date showing Jan 2, 2079

Damn. I don't know if I'll still be into Avatar by then.

My membership renewed and they (whoopsie) started charging me the full price.

Their educational pricing is a joke. Has more than doubled from just over a year ago.

I wish Adobe would start another account here so I could yell at them all over again.

Babysitting tonight

Nephew #1: “Don’t come upstairs yet!”

Me: “I’m not leaving you guys unsupervised. You could be juggling flaming knives.”

Nephew #1: “I am!”

Me: “I knew it!”

Nephew #2: “I’m juggling flaming spoons!”

Me: “Well, that’s a little better…” 🤔

Instead of a tiny portion going to illegal immigrants, a large portion will go to billionaires. 👍🏻👍🏻

Good thing all Americans are on board with having their own healthcare destroyed in order to avoid the possibility of a tiny portion of it going to desperate people in need.

Amazed that cross doesn't just burst into flames.
