Trey Parker & Matt Stone have made a statement about the premiere date delay for ‘SOUTH PARK’ Season 27:

“This merger is a shitshow and it’s fucking up South Park”

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

we forgot to give Banjo the last few of his favorite dried sprat treats, so we buried them in one of our flower beds as fertilizer.

pretty sure the monarch butterfly @papertiki.bsky.social saw fluttering around that planter a day later was our little king coming for his tasty, fishy flowers. 🐺🦋

I love you, my little boy.

June 11, 2012 - June 12, 2025

Today’s my pup Banjo’s 13th birthday. We don’t have a lot of time with him left but he’s still just as handsome as ever. I don’t think I’ve loved anything in the world the way I love this dog. ❤️🐺

This week man.

Spotted so many Animation Guild Friends at WeHo Pride!!! 😍🏳️‍🌈🩷

Today is the last day to oppose the gutting of the Endangered Species Act, I just did and it’s not hard:

What's in the Trump/GOP big, beautiful bill?

-Tax cuts skewed to the rich
-Medicaid & SNAP cuts
-Ends IRS Direct File
-New powers for Trump to target nonprofits
-Blocks state/local regulation against AI, including rent-gouging software like RealPage

The oligarchy's wishlist.

An illustrated tribute to Pope Francis

Inclusion, grace, kindness, empathy. "You pray for the hungry, then you feed them. This is how prayer works."

Grazie, Papa Francesco. In Paradisum deducant te Angeli.

forgive me, Father, for I have sinned; it has been exactly 24 hours since I’ve laughed again at JD Vance’s expense.

Happy Birthday!!!

Thank you @audreygonzalez.bsky.social for organizing @portfolioday.bsky.social every quarter of the year!
Even if I'm not looking for artists every single day, its been immeasurably helpful - and I do check regularly to find (new & experienced) folks (and their availability). ❤️ #PortfolioDay

At least the Declaration of Independence is timely again:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

political stunt, really. wanted to call attention to what’s happening with musk/trump and how it’s not normal what they’re doing. no particular bill. I’d say he got a good deal of attention so it worked.

good trouble, Sen Booker.

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

the poetic brilliance of beating the record of a man who wanted to prevent him from holding this office in the first place. delicious.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Drew Struzan's wife just left a long message on Facebook - short of it is that Drew is suffering from Alzheimer's, and he's in what seems to be the final stages.

One of the greatest artists of my lifetime, and yours.

Posting some fun Tarot-style commissions from FC I recently finished up! Sending these off today to their homes. Thanks to these folks for commissioning me!

Dante being guided through the waters of the river Lethe by Beatrice, his guide through Purgatory and Paradise.

“The beautiful lady opened wide her arms,
Embraced my head, and plunged me underneath,
Where I was forced to swallow of the water.
Then forth she drew me, and all dripping brought
Into the dance of the four beautiful,
And each one with her arm did cover me.”
— Purgatorio, Canto XXXI

I miss Invincible Fight Girl.

One annoying thing about the "run the government like a business" guys is that they also are terrible at running businesses. I run my podcast "like a business" in the sense that things are made to a high quality and shipped on time, but it seems their only version of "good business" is "layoffs"

Here's some of my boards for INVINCIBLE FIGHT GIRL episode 10. Bluesky has a 1 minute video limit so here's 2 parts...

it's almost like you're one of the people who have the power to do something, my guy.
