I have always wanted to be a juror in a trial. I got summoned 3 times, but never chosen. Go figure

I switched to vector illustration a couple of years ago for scaling up and printing purposes. I use Affinity Designer. As others have said, it is difficult to learn, and probably more time consuming, but awesome once you find your groove

This is why it’s so hard to take conservatives seriously when they ask people to turn down the temperature on the rhetoric, but they don’t demand the same of their president

Didn’t you hear? You blew up on social media this one time, so now you’re rich. Congratulations!

I’m probably misquoting him, but I saw a comment from Warren Buffet a while ago regarding his approach to investing that was something to the effect of “When people get confident, I get nervous”

It’s been a rough week for news.

I’d like to thank Nintendo for coming through in the clutch with the Virtual Boy release. We all really needed this laugh.

Governor Cox yesterday:

We have the death penalty ready for this radical leftist

Cox today:

Guys, let’s tone down the violent rhetoric, k

What an embarrassment to this state he is.

Well this sucks. I live in Utah, and I fully expect to see the National Guard patrolling the streets tomorrow looking to punish someone.

While all these other dads are sitting there watching football all Saturday, I’m making a corsage for my son’s homecoming date.

BTW: all you florists out there please be kind. This is my first attempt ever.

They are. There are a few office buildings in my city that have converted, but an investor has to know that they will get a return before starting such a costly conversion project, so…once you’re done you still get a luxury apt that few can afford

My son comes home from school and says there is one teacher who tells them “You can use AI in your coursework, because I use AI in my lessons.”

I’m extremely unhappy with this, but I guess it’s what happens when all the good teachers who are underpaid and unappreciated decide to leave the state

Happy Birthday Tron! Here's my recreation of the logo designed by Syd Mead for the film. Alterations were made for legibility before it was finalised.

An Indiana Jones movie, but he is stealing artifacts from the Smithsonian and putting them back in secret places to save them from the white supremacists

To be fair, that CGI was new to us, and we had never seen dinosaurs look so real. Kids have already seen it all these days

I watched that movie when I was a kid until the VHS melted. As an adult, that movie is a weird trip

I may hear them voice their displeasure or see them take down signs, but ultimately they are checking that box every time.

This MF incited an insurrection, and he still got elected president. Being implicated in the Epstein files isn’t even a dealbreaker anymore.

Don’t let others try and convince you that you are a useless eater. You are a creator. You make art. Artists and creators make life worth living. If the people who only chase practicality and utility were in charge of everything, the world would become the gray, colorless landscape of “The Giver.”
