I ditched Photoshop in March 2025, used Affinity Products, still dodgy, switched to CSP a couple weeks ago, just now up to speed. Just gotta use it, lots of tools and be sure to look at the Quick Filters and Quick Effects. It's very intuative.

It didn’t take five months for trump to surpass Nixon and Bush in those categories. In fact, except for the release of all Jan. 6 insurrectionists, they were trump’s only other day 1 accomplishments. he failed miserably to lower consumer prices, and to end the Russian’s war with Ukraine #USDemocracy

I had a boss who fired the β€œold guard” for corruption, then he got busted a few years later using corporate money to pay his gambling debts.

#DailyPoilievre We need to stop electing career politicians who get parachuted into ridings they have no connection to. First Carleton, who Poilievre betrayed w/his convoy support, now he’s carpetbagging into Battle River-Crowfoot after he was turfed by Carleton.

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:

Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

Well the orange moron had a temper tantrum. Again. He just increased the tariffs on Canadian goods from 25% to 35%. All because we will recognize Palestine as a state provided a bunch of conditions are met.

Well fellow Canadians, it’s Aug 1st. Trump is a goof, and I think it’s time for Canada to turn off the oil, electricity and potash, good luck in the dark and no food US.

ComicLab advice: Nobody wants to support you.

Your reader is living paycheck to paycheck. Asking them to support you, too, is a losing pitch. However, these same folks will HAPPILY subscribe to things that bring them joy. Your Patreon/Substack/Kickstarter should be pitched as a small indulgence β€” not an economic obligation.

Americans Wanted a Cost of Living Warrior. Trump Is the Opposite Americans are increasingly concerned with cost of living issues. They voted for Donald Trump to help, but he's done the opposite.

Despite the circus-like news cycles coming out of the White House, Trump's role in creating this economic catastrophe is not lost on the public.

A whopping 60% say that Trump has made their cost of living worse, and many worry that he will make it harder for them to pay their bills.

Canada sells excess power to the U.S. because it’s more efficient than wasting it not because we produce it for them. We honour our contracts because we believe in being good partners. But as agreements expire, like with MB Hydro, we may choose to redirect that energy to serve Canadian needs first.

Should Canada cut off electricity to the U.S.?
You don’t get to wage economic war and still enjoy Canada's resources, right? Let Trump explain to Americans why their electric bills just spiked.

Some good news. PM Carney is staying the course. We will get through this period of volatility and come out even stronger.
