In good news, probably at least, this is the greenest I have ever seen Central California, in January or frankly at any time.

For creative folks working on their projects, or really anyone doing anything, reply or QT with something that you tried in 2025 that WORKED for you.
I'll start: Couple days a week, built a writing stop into the "take the kid to school" routine, before coming back home, before checking email.

Oh this thread made me extremely happy and also slightly angry
I have a long-running list of surprising eponyms, and in this dark time I wish to share my amusement with you.
To clarify, an eponym is something named for a person. “Newton’s Laws” are called that for Isaac Newton. A surprising eponym is just that.
So, let’s begin.

Happy Betty Boop Liberation Day to @alecrobbins.bsky.social, a fella years ahead of his time in many ways but also this one extremely specific way. Betty Boop had nothing to lose but her chains, and now those have fallen.

Hohoho! I drew this year's holiday card for my art rep, Felix Comic Art. I wanted the recipients to get something that looked like a piece of vintage original art, but also couldn't help poking some fun at Felix's love for Dark Knight Returns.

For the second year in a row, I spent an inordinately long time crafting the perfect gift box for a gallon of windshield washer fluid.
(I couldn't find last year's similar box so I had to make a new one.)

An old thread is making the rounds again, so here's an updated version.
Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is one of the most enduring and adapted works of literature in history.
But did you know that he wrote 22 sequels?
Some are great! Some are trash! Some are bizarrely fascinating.

imagine being trump, having done all the things he knows he has done over the course of his life, running for President thinking "ah, this will all be fine, none of it will ever come to light." On some level he might be as surprised as anyone that the country has given him this much rope for so long

My favorite historical costume designer is Sandy Powell, and she has an amazing trick that it took me years to realize: Be conservative with color and lean into modern shapes with your hero, and put your villain in the most outrageously period-specific costume you can.
