GDG is getting close to the goal of paying their taxes so the organization can keep up and running!

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

I know a lot is going on, but I just wanna say everyone looked so beautiful at the NAACP Image Awards in what felt like a clear-throated and visual rebuke of the BAFTAs. Self-regard and self-presentation are powerful.

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

For over a month, NYC nurses stood firm and refused to accept half-measures.

It was a privilege to join them on the picket line then, and an honor to join them at the bowling lanes to celebrate their victory with a few mores strikes.

Today is Andalusia's day and I thought I'd share this one again as it was inspired by my homeland 💚🤍💚

To Slay the Great Regurgitator

The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it

we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

Do watch/listen to this.

One like and next year I'll be handing out stickers of this for free at the convention.

just because it's not #FollowFriday anymore, doesn't mean we have to stop sharing starter packs!

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Tonight me and the fellas are chugging beer, smoking ciggies and cranking Neil Sedaka tunes.

Reading the news about AI’s got me feeling like this…

I mean, you’re not wrong! Shows my friends worked on for years were canceled and then used as tax write-offs.

Just finished the Behind the Bastards episodes on the impact of Jeffrey Epstein. And like a takeway is that he started funding anti-trans research because he allegedly SA'd a trans girl (she was 16 at the time) who turned around and sued his ass for it and he was mad that she sued him.

The noise coming from Labour / Reform / The Media implying that "We didn't get what we want therefore there might have been cheating!" feels like a inadvertent admission of "We didn't get what we want despite our cheating!"

Quentin Tarantino should have been run out of town for speaking ill of this man

Bill Duke on ‘Deep Cover,’ ‘Sister Act 2,’ and Reshaping What Black Movies Could Be in the ’90s '90s Week: The iconic actor and director on the leaps of faith that made him one of the most vital Hollywood filmmakers of the decade.

With Bill Duke finally getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today, I'm re-sharing the career-spanning conversation I did for @indiewire.com with him.

When you were a kid, did you ever meet another kid who was clearly out of their mind, and incredibly troubled and destructive, who made you really uncomfortable to be around, and you just hoped that they would grow up to… Not be like that?

And then they grew up to be even worse?

He's very very bad at this

Tasneem's youngest daughter, Alma.

The displaced civilians in Gaza are facing a horrific humanitarian crisis. There is no infrastructure, and little aid or adequate medical services. We're their voice and means of survival. They rely on our donations.

Please give to my dear friend Tasneem. And others. ❤️

Traditional fan art in watercolor and colored pencil. It’s an illustration showing the Pokémon Ampharos, with a little Togepi in its arms, standing among bushes full of yellow flowers. A small house, trees and electrical poles can be seen in the background, with Mt. Fuji faintly hovering over them in the distance.

Traditional mixed media painting showing a forest scene. There's a stream in the middle, with a fallen tree trunk acting as a bridge over it, with Pikachu and Eevee running through it, and Charmander clinging to the trunk behind them. In front of them, Bulbasaur stands on a rock in the stream, with Squirtle splashing around in the water, the two enjoying themselves. Various bug Pokemon can be seen in the distance: Weedle, Kakuna and Caterpie on trees, and two Butterfree flying around.

Traditional illustration in watercolor and acrylic. It shows a little black cat sitting under a red torii gate, surrounded by trees. It’s a bright and sunny day, with dappled lights and shadows falling everywhere.

Traditional drawing in mixed media of a white cat with a yellow straw hat sitting inside a blue cardboard box. It’s surrounded with other boxes full of oranges.

It’s my 30th birthday today! I’m grateful for another year I get to make art!

I would love if you shared my work and little print/sticker store today. ☺️ Thank you!

Am I hallucinating or did Starmer really try and place partial "blame" for Gordon and Denton on George Galloway's support of the Green Party?
