Bridging my current life in Chicago and my past life in D.C., I argue today at @newrepublic.com that Democrats should ~never~ vote to fund this government. Make John Thune blow up Senate rules and Republicans wholly own the U.S. extra-military military doing war crimes against us, funded by us.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

The one and only Keke Palmer hosts DREAD MANOR, a new horror anthology series premiering on KeyTV this Thursday.

DHS is recruiting using a not-so-subtle reference to a 1978 book from white nationalist William Gayley Simpson, Which Way Western Man?

Simpson's book was released under an imprint associated with the National Alliance, founded by Turner Diaries author William Luther Pierce.

Deskilling is real.

This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service.

Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

Remember when Nancy’s mom got yanked through that tiny window?

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

Interstellar Battle - 2016

A fun sci-fi illustration I painted in Procreate while developing my custom Evolution Brushes. I almost typed the words "from back in the day". Time flies.

More WIP inks - A current look at the spot I've been working on in those recent inking timelapse clips.

“Superman is too woke!”

Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:

Classic noir, and based on the novel of the same name (also good). If you like Bogart, you might want to give it a shot. Mary Astor, Peter Lorre, and Gladys George are in it, too.

I mainly use ballpoint for my outlines, but i wanted to see what other pens looked like

I laughed so hard at this. The accuracy is DEADLY.💀

I’ve heard of that one but I’ve never seen it. Bogart is legend though. How would you rank it against The Maltese Falcon?

Oh boy! It's #PortfolioDay!
I'm Melfist and I draw stuff from over 15 years of convoluted rpg campaigns I subjected my friends to. And, one day, I'll subject YOU to it (in comic form)

So this is Bluesky… and it’s awesome! This is my first post and it’s #PortfolioDay, so I’ve added some of my art. I work with traditional media (pens, pencils, paint, etc.) and digitally with a stylus and drawing apps. I’ve never used A.I. in my art or writing and never will. Cheers!🍻
