Hey, Bluesky!

I'm a cartoonist, writer, video maker, and Star Trek fan. I do fan panels at conventions and help run Trek Track at Dragon Con.

My romcom webcomic Treading Ground came back LITERALLY TODAY after 13 years. Talk about timing!

I looks to me like Rp Omar was about to throw hands on that guy herself. I don't know what else that could have been.
REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

I somehow* missed the social posts for this comic last time, so I guess you get two this week.

Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it.

Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.

"we're gonna kill 80 people so we can kidnap you and your wife and take you to a special room where a 92-year-old will look at you sternly"

This shit all falls apart when you think about it for half a second

Hell yeah, this was a kickass app.
Someone has lifted the QuickTimeVR movie files from 1994's "Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive Technical Manual", upscaled them then built an in-browser replica of the ITM's "Tour" module. mijofr.github.io/st-panorama/

Christmas feels like a Thursday holiday. Just make it the last Thursday of December and give us Wednesday to Friday off.

Jesus would understand. It's not like it's his real birthday anyway

I drew Rose from @nickthewright.com's comic Treading Ground, because I like it and her and everyone should draw everyone's OCs really, and have OCs of their own

It’s legit easy to spin up your own, too. Unlike video, MP3s can run on basically any computer you have lying around, and you can stream music to your devices with all the features they offer, all totally legal.

For real: you don’t need these services at all. They offer zero actual value.
Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:
