We love to see it!
I've had the honor of not only playtesting Bolted, but also watching the absolute care to detail @davidmalki.com has put into this project via WIP. It's INCREDIBLE. So much fun to play – @makinaro.com & I laughed A LOT! I just backed it and you should too! 🥳🙌 www.kickstarter.com/projects/mal...

In a closed-door White House meeting, Mamdani reminds Trump that it's way more fun to be a freewheeling urbane millionaire than deal with the drudgery of backstabbing politics.

No one actually witnesses Trump leave the White House, but his suitcase is discovered missing the next morning

A really lovely and thoughtful article.
“History shows us that the right to literacy came at a heavy cost…those oppressed recognized that literacy is liberation. To my students & to anyone who might listen, I say: Don’t surrender to AI your ability to read, write & think when others once risked their lives & died for the freedom to do so”

It was so cool making illustrations for Cat Fluxx!
Cat Fluxx is quickly becoming a fan favorite version of Fluxx, the card game of ever-changing rules! With their ever-changing attitudes, cats are the purr-fect fit for Fluxx. Have you played Cat Fluxx yet? Meow at us with a pic of your furr-ocious felines in the Comments!

The grimacing MrBeast version of myself that I made for this FREAKED my kid out. So at least his animal fear instincts are right on

It's cool that Youtube lets you A/B/C test thumbnails. I wonder if I should go with "standard explainer guy", "tiktok react streamer", or "sociopath"

BOLTED UPDATE: All I had left to do to launch this Kickstarter was "finish the video." Friends, if you know about me and videos, you know that it's not always quite that simple. MORE UPDATES REAL SOON ON THIS !!!
New pinned post! The Wondermark-themed card game I've been working on all year long, Bolted!, is coming to life on Kickstarter NOV 12.

If you missed the first pre-order round this spring, now's your first, best, only and last chance to reserve a copy!

One of the best things to recognise in yourself as a creative person is when you are Sauceless.

Not art blocked. Not struggling with a difficult creative problem.

Being Sauceless is when you've done good work but have been staring at it for too long, and risk making it worse through noodling.

I couldn't figure out why my Photoshop color picker was showing me all kinds of weird colors. I couldn't find a gray. It was impossible to navigate.

I have been using Photoshop for *27 YEARS* and *TODAY* I realized that next to each of those little boxes is a RADIO BUTTON that CHANGES THE PICKER

"jeffrey, please, for the good of the nation, ruin the man by acknowledging his association with you, one of the most ruined men in the world" is honestly a hilarious ask

Better things are possible if you just believe in them and work for them and fight for them. (I am speaking in this case specifically about discounted breakfast burritos at the market in my neighborhood)

if you voted in Seattle you gotta make sure your ballot counted now
There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

Go. Check. Your. Ballot.

I wrote a funny book to trick children into reading literature!
After generations of family adventures, Sawyer Lee is determined to sink in the couch! The problem is that it will take a regrettable amount of energy for him to escape the mysteries, conspiracies, and gourd-based festivities the whole town throws his way.
