"NOW DIE AGAIN, LIZARDS!"

Style and materials test I finished today. Couldn't think of what to draw, so I decided to do a page study of Ken Ishikawa's original "Getter Robo".

7x10" on bristol paper done with ink and alcohol markers.

It’s just over 40 year of life but I feel like for my whole life, politics has been a cycle with almost no variation.

While getting close enough to take one of these pictures of Dragonland I stood next to the subwoofer and I think I temporarily achieved quantum superposition. #70000TONS #Dragonland

Alright boys i want a good clean fight out there:

Don’t worry folks, if we give them even more money @schumer.senate.gov says they double pinky promise to stop being Trump’s white supremacist death squad, they swear this time.
Personally I think this is too much money for Donald trumps untrained heavily armed militia

It’s breakfast in Miami South Beach before #70000TONS so we’re out at Bacon Bitch. John is of course eyeing the bottles of syrup and hot sauce like the Spicy/Sticky Bitch he is.
January 28, 2026 at 2:44 PM
I swear, every time we come here he just drinks all the hot sauce. John you have a problem.

The Senate bill is rooted in the idea that we just need to get BP/ICE "back to" only terrorizing people we deem worthy of being terrorized, and not White people. The exact problematic understanding people have been trying to warn against... While a lot of White people insisted that concern was silly

Me saying: “voting isn’t how you effect real change.”

People hear: “oh so you just want people to not do anything, and are arguing for voter apathy!”

What? No, I’m doing a call to action! Go out and show politicians the change we want in this world. Politicians are only ever reactionary to us.
