"To be a Republican in 2025 represents a clear public confession that you either don't know the difference between good and evil and you're so morally empty that you can't be bothered to begin to try, or that you do know the difference, and you prefer evil." Great essay from @juliusgoat.bsky.social

The Crime of Human Virtue

Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

This is Manolo. His family invited strangers to spend time with him on his last day. His mom said, "This was such a perfect way to celebrate the life of a dog who truly loved spending time with people and their dogs. Run free and fast forever, Manolo. I will never stop missing you." 14/10 for all

Supergirl vs Zombies - A commission done a few months ago, combining two of my patrons favorite things. The cover for Adventure Comics number 421 (1972) was requested to be the inspiration/direction. Ink on 17" x 11" bristol board.

I have a few of these! 😃

Colin Smith @colinsmith.bsky.social · 4d

Shazam! This makes me smile. From 1944, a “flying” cutout of the original Captain Marvel. I know it’s merch, I know it was all about profit. But the unpretentious simplicity of the toy matched to the seductions of nostalgia makes it seem innocent and, accordingly, charming.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.
