I thought last year's #AEWGrandSlam was better than the 2026 version, but this year was still a very solid, entertaining show.

We're spoiled as fans. We have great shows or matches on the regular online or weekly TV.

People will complain, but it's a great time to be a wrestling fan.

Ugh, I know this well.
I’ve seen three folks I came up with in the world of gig posters using it, and it’s disappointing to say the least.

The last time I saw that album with its controversial (and taken out of circulation due to a lawsuit) cover at Into the Music, it was going for $150 CDN.

I went to art school...

I had no clue this is what people meant by "warm ups". Like, a whole routine? Each part specific and functional? Dang.

Probably would have less "forgot how to draw" days if I did these every time. I'm gonna try it.

Jason Kenney says separtation has been "de-stigmatized" by current UCP. The job now is to show what a horrible idea it is. If he were still premier, we'd have a government standing up to separatist leaders. Column. tinyurl.com/yz55wh3n #ableg #abpoli #cdnpol #yyc #yeg
Braid: Jason Kenney fiercely battles separatism — unfortunately, not as premier
Jason Kenney has emerged as a fierce opponent to separatism. If he were still premier this would be a very different government.

I had a kidney stone attack yesterday.
Woohooo!!!
Shoutout to the folks at HSC who took care of me for the 10 or so hours that I was there. The last time I had an attack (nearly six years ago), I drew this several weeks afterward.
A hovering book with two orange hands above and below it. The dark red book is titled “Kidney Stones Are a Motherfucker.” There’s a spotlight on the book and all of the objects mentioned above are in front of a light blue brick wall.

CTV Winnipeg aired a neat piece about "lonely houses" in Winnipeg and elsewhere. You can check out the video or written version at their website: www.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/art...
Survival of the stubborn: The little-known histories of Winnipeg’s holdout homes
We all know Darwin’s theory of survival of the fittest, often misquoted by stale memes and bad motivational posters and a certain hack reporter - those who last are those who adapt.

Hi! Go to your library and check out a free book! Maybe a comic! Read more! It's good for your brain. 15 minutes a day can build a practice!

The image is a meme with three panels, using a scene from a movie to humorously convey a conversation about prosecuting people associated with the Epstein files. 1. Top Panel: Shows two characters, with the left one facing the camera and the right one seen from behind. The text reads: "prosecute everyone in the Epstein files." 2. Middle Panel: Features a close-up of the right character facing the camera. The text states: "if we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, the whole system will collapse." 3. Bottom Panel: The left character is in focus, looking at the right character, with the text: "I already said prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, you don't need to sell it to me."

"I then came across the most helpful piece of the puzzle from a veteran cameraman, in a forum post I can no longer find" is the kind of sentence that hooks my attention. the lost, forgotten lore of a bygone age.

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.

Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

r/analytics • IOh We just found out our AI has been making up analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna throw up. Support So we've been using an Al agent since November to answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations, everyone loved it. I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this entire time. Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing plausible sounding percentages. I only caught it by accident when someone asked me to double check something. I started digging, and holy shit, it's bad.
