Why has no one asked about that jerk's obsession with erasing Kennedy legacy? The rose garden, and now the Kennedy Center renaming? What is going on in that empty head of Trump?

I have heard not one peep about the orange fuckwit's obsession with obliterating every mention of Kennedy. What's up with that?? Seriously, the fat fucker is OBSESSED with erasing any mention of JFK. Where does that come from?!

This is your occasional reminder that Rose O'Neill, creator of the Kewpies, first published female cartoonist in the United States, and among the first cartoonists to build a merchandising empire on their work, turned out some absolutely baller, romantic-feeling size-difference monster art.

One of the things i am not hearing mentioned during tariff discussions is how weak the dollar has become since King Midas took the throne. The dollar has fallen approx 10% on average to other currencies.
So as an importer, you’re not only paying tariffs, but also buying with a weaker dollar.

That's the rub: They're as isolated from trans folk and discourse as the GOP assholes, and it shows.

Dems don't come out and call the anti-trans campaign a big fucking lie because Dem leaders don't know squat about trans folk to begin with. It's pathetic at this point.

"If I replace the Labor Statistics Commissioner, the job numbers will be great!" is the new "If we stop testing, we'll have fewer Covid cases!"

The image is a piece of fan art titled "Klimt Eastwood," created by Carl Tétreault in 2016. It depicts actor and director Clint Eastwood in a style inspired by the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt, specifically referencing Klimt's "The Kiss".

Please enjoy this Klimt Eastwood

They don't care.

Love this for you!!!!!!

I can tell my mind is absolute mush when I FORGOT to post about the fun t-shirt design I did for old roller derby buddy Iron Maiven! She now has the design for sale on her online shop, so go buy it!

This is so depressing:

I'm seeing the occasional TikToker dude who laughs at the right wing goobers, and that's a tack to take. But I think presenting a more clear path to promoting, "Kids, just don't be a self-absorbed asshole, and things will fall into place, I swear" would've helped your article.

I think it's more an issue of, "Don't be an asshole" shouldn't be that difficult for boys and men to grasp, but due to the large right wing propaganda machine, that message doesn't get out nearly as much. Which I get is what you're saying.

BUT, how does "the left" get that basic message out?

Stepping dead center on a giant dog turd sitting on the sidewalk and instantly being like "the left's silence on this speaks volumes."

what's going to last longer: our 79-year-old tinpot dictator with cankles or our recollection of which institutions caved to him

And I also realized just how miserable the industry experience is right now. Cartoons and animation are supposed to be fun on some level, and the studios have sucked the life out of an entire genre for greed.

I used to love what I did, then they killed it.

...to a really rough-but-readable style that's nowhere near the style of the project. Real flashback to the 90s vibes for me; it's really nice.

And the animators are doing AMAZING work. It's as if board artists can just, I dunno, board, and let other jobs do their jobs!

The 1st week on this current project had me freaking out because I was doing what was expected in the industry board-wise. The directors had to get on a Zoom call with me to explain that they didn't need me to do everything outside of just boarding. It took another 2 weeks to adjust...

I'm working on an indie project where I really had to unfuck my mind from doing boards the current way: cleaner than needed with every detail, timing, etc.

Going back to just having to worry about BOARDS has been so freeing, but makes me LOATHE where the industry has ended up.

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

This shouldn't be happening to the people who carried the studios through the pandemic.

Studio heads like Zaslav make millions while literally starving the people who made the content he and his ilk benefitted from. I hope Eddie makes his fundraising goal and is able to get back into animation.

I saw a crow with one of his chest feathers sticking out so I pointed at him and said "you're feather is unruly" and he put it back in place. COMMUNICATION

It's all so predictably disappointing.

Buttigieg and Newsom have failed to educate themselves in the most logical, anti-hysterical way about transathletes. Ceding political ground to feelings over facts the way they're doing is fucking stupid.

Buttigieg jumped on the Newsom train and thinks there's problems with transgirls being involved in sports with cisgirls???

JFC, they couldn't be arsed to watch John Oliver for the most basic soothing starting point of this purposeful political bullshit?!

Mamdani isn’t just a threat to boring centrists, he’s a threat to consultants making billions on shitty ads who are usurped by people who can go viral with a cell phone video and motivate far more people to go vote
