Having a hard time watching a video essay someone sent me. Even if it's just background noise as I work, I sit here wishing I was listening to Funkadelic...

if you're one person making a comic by yourself, don't treat yourself like you should function on the same level as comics that have multiple people working on them. your backgrounds can be squiggles and colors.
allow yourself room to be abstract with details and give yourself some grace

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Even setting aside not wanting to support him for jacking off in front of people, I feel like the fact that he did it undercut the entire concept of Louis CK as a comedian: that he was a man with repulsive thoughts and urges, but who had attained the self-knowledge that comes with recognizing them
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

He has one of the worst smiles I've ever seen and they slap it on every one of his products or promotions
Mr. Beast is one of those celebrities or shows in the background of a dystopian story to give you an idea of how completely the broken society has become. You can't convince me he's real.

Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

Drew comics since I was six, was told to pursue a stable career, pursued primary school teaching because “summer vacation will allow me to draw comics”, drew comics during my degree, eventually dropped my degree because it was distracting me too much from my webcomics career :)

I took up programming games on my calculator in highschool. I graduated and started to attend art school.
Quickly figured out I hate drawing for other people, and doing art for a living appeared to be a painful lifestyle. I eventually dropped out and got residency in WA and studied Computer Science

Tech companies are pouring billions into AI chips and data centers. Increasingly, they are relying on debt and risky tactics. Financial analysts are worried there's a bubble that will soon pop.

I just want to share every little detail I add to my game as I make it, but it's so much better to fight that urge. I learned that through comics, and I will apply it here
