Posting the magnum opus online = collective shrug

Posting the little guy = “This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen!”

I know this from experience

Anyone else remember this story about the girl with the green ribbon? Every once in a while we talk about it in my family and have a good laugh

Yeah. I’m pretty sure it’s widely known that the POTUS gets all of his intel from Fox and Friends, so it’s not exactly surprising anymore.

People will start to matter when those who lose their jobs aren’t buying stuff and stimulating the economy. Who are those robots going to ship stuff to when consumers aren’t consuming?

Every year the displays from Halloween Wars get worse, as the pool of talent seems to have drained, yet here I am watching religiously like a fool.

I wonder what discovery will look like? “Here’s a press conference where the prez says it’s true. That’s all we have your honor”

Road to Perdition

I don’t think there is a line anymore. I think there is this great unspoken (or spoken?) agreement that if they don’t tow the line, their careers are over. You can also fix anything with propaganda. If he became a vegetable, they would use video clips and AI to keep him functional as president.

Step 1: robots make stuff to send to consumers
Step 2: people lose jobs to robots and don’t have money to buy stuff
Step 3: robots stop making stuff that nobody is buying

This happened so long ago he’s gotta be BatMan by now

I’ll never forget the time I went to a new barber and I told him I was an artist so he started suggesting I make NFT’s and I couldn’t escape the conversation because we were early on in the haircut

I won’t judge people for being mad about it. It is OUR house, as in it belongs to Americans. The president is supposed to be a public servant and only a temporary occupant of the White House, so they shouldn’t be able to modify it to personal taste.

Hey, anyone want to help me out here so I can hit this completely arbitrary milestone?

I’ve been to a couple of these protests in SLC, and I’m not sure what they are like in other big cities, but my impression is that they need WAY more loud music (preferably punk rock)

Things are going to have to get a lot worse for there to be a revolution. We have been leading pretty cushy lives.

I have always wanted to be a juror in a trial. I got summoned 3 times, but never chosen. Go figure

I switched to vector illustration a couple of years ago for scaling up and printing purposes. I use Affinity Designer. As others have said, it is difficult to learn, and probably more time consuming, but awesome once you find your groove

This is giving Rex Kwon Do vibes

I’m calling this one finished

This is why it’s so hard to take conservatives seriously when they ask people to turn down the temperature on the rhetoric, but they don’t demand the same of their president

Happy 21st of September to all who celebrate

Didn’t you hear? You blew up on social media this one time, so now you’re rich. Congratulations!

I’m probably misquoting him, but I saw a comment from Warren Buffet a while ago regarding his approach to investing that was something to the effect of “When people get confident, I get nervous”

It’s been a rough week for news.

I’d like to thank Nintendo for coming through in the clutch with the Virtual Boy release. We all really needed this laugh.

Governor Cox yesterday:

We have the death penalty ready for this radical leftist

Cox today:

Guys, let’s tone down the violent rhetoric, k

What an embarrassment to this state he is.

Well this sucks. I live in Utah, and I fully expect to see the National Guard patrolling the streets tomorrow looking to punish someone.
