Also, evil characters don’t have to be smart. Willing to do what others won’t is sometimes all the advantage they need.

Some Buffy the Vampire art.

It’s cool people continue to enjoy this show/character. The New Sunnyvale series hoped gets a release date soon.

Now as for Xena….

Just because you can make something doesn’t mean you should

Wholly agree. I've long appreciated Josh's writing & coverage. Some prominent voices trade on anger, and I've cut them out. Josh isn't that.

She's not done by any means.

Also, though some votes remain to be counted, Democratic voters outnumbered R voters by 203,204 in a meaningful senate primary for both parties with 23% of reg voters turning out.

Another good sign for change in November.

It’s like no one remembered or looked at the 80s & oil prices. Everyone quickly learned where Strait of Hormuz was.

Surely they’re not so stupid to think this helps their Venezuelan oil shipments & oil companies. I’m not conspiracy minded, but nothing would surprise me with this administration.

I would have voted for Crockett were I still there, though I dislike her crypto votes. I'd be please either. But I'm energized by her.

Now in TX 33, screw Allred. Julie Johnson has done good work in that area for a few years as a solid liberal & deserves to continue.

A tangle of cedar branches covered in today’s light snow

From her work area on the 3rd floor, my wife snapped this photo of the lightly snow-covered blue atlas cedar outside our townhome.

From my office on the bottom floor, I only see people shuffling on the street, asking “what’s the matter with you, boy.”

Good deep cut.

Super Jersey Expo had to cancel for 2026 due to snow & ice damage to the venue with no viable alternative in the area.

So, Grace & I will be at the Brooklyn Independent Comics Showcase that weekend--April 18 & 19. It's a huge gathering of indie comic creators.

My character for the Dracon Delve adventure, which we're running on Roll20. I didn't want a realistic or anime style.

Since we leveled to 3, I went with the new Path of the World Tree subclass & will hand out temp hit points while raging. A healing barbarian. ;)

Sam Altman would like remind you that humans use a lot of energy, too | TechCrunch "It also takes a lot of energy to train a human."

How long before Altman suggests using people as power sources for AI?

Offshore wind triumphs over Trump in court, but future projects face delays • Stateline The five East Coast offshore wind projects that recently won court victories over the Trump administration have restarted construction, but they make up just a small fraction of Atlantic states’ ambit...

Another court loss for Trump who tried to shut down 5 MD wind projects. The region needs more energy & lower costs.

But other wind projects are blocked likely for next 3 years. Yet another area where Trump is causing damage that’ll take years to recover from.

It never seemed anything other than a rhetorical tactic, not an actual principle. Like fretting about the deficit but only under a Democratic president.

a graph of Tarrant county early voting for primaries in 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024, and 2026 after 3 days of early voting. 2026 has far more early votes at this stage than any other year, and it's the only one with more Democratic votes.

This is a nice comparison of the Tarrant vote numbers after 3 days of EV across primaries for the last 5 elections. It's not just a higher Democratic turnout than the fascists, but it's a higher turnout overall.

This is a good definition of stupid: Buying a totally crap product just to spite critics at the cost of $70,000-110,000.

There's no reason to buy this POS except to say you like Elon.

Buddy Holly doesn't get old.

Is there some specific cause tying all them? Or it’s the nature of that spectrum end—precarious finances? Or more general economic problems making it harder for many?

Texas media generally favors Abbott, as with Perry. They’ve sucked at covering the D candidate.

But the polls are better for Gina than we’ve seen in a loooong time for a Dem gubernatorial candidate.

Abbott is dicking over Texans. They finally be tired of him.

In 2022, 60+% Dem voter turnout would likely have won them a senate seat. Hard in an off election but possible.

I think that’s true this year, but 55% turnout might do it.

Either Crockett or Talarico would be good. But Crockett is who Texas and Democrats need.

An unopened bottle of Laphroaig 10 Year Cask Strength single malt scotch. I made a last-call for this over the Ardberg because I was in the mood for something less sweet and unapologetically peaty.

I don't drink often these days but I'm scotch poor. I indulged in one of my favorite Islays--Ardbeg Uigeadail or Laphroaig 10 Yr Cask Strength.

I'd love to try Corryvreckan, but no one in town sells it.

I know Lagavulin 16 is often folks' choice of best Islay Scotch. But I prefer the other two.

Thanks for sharing. I read it twice. The part about blaming her ambition got me.

It’s a good entry job to cut your teeth on.

“lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes"

Busy spring. And with a new comic to show & sell.

This is our 1st spring in the DMV area so these are all new cons to us. I’ll be helping at the booths & looking forward to meeting new folks.

The “Santa is just white…Jesus is white” lady is angry again.

Will this be just a joke, too?
