"You mean a 400 year gradual shift away from dense urbanization in about a quarter of the empire because of a combination of outward and inward pressures?"
"No"
"Oh so you mean the transfer of major political power to economic centers?"

People keep asking why The Onion is doing well right now, and it's simply because we just refuse to kowtow. I cannot stress enough how good it is for your business and your soul be strong and even fun in the face of the ongoing horror and bullshit.

In painting this picture, Klee had in mind his friend Adolf Busch, a violinist known for his vigorous playing.

I think the thick black bars Klee first used in his art a year earlier work well to represent music visually.

Happy for Canada. Envious as all fuck, but happy. Also, not for the first or last time, wishing my grandparents had just stayed in New Brunswick.

Not being able to edit posts here is a bit annoying. I'm a four-fingered typist at best. C'est la vie. More small sketchy bits, done while out and about. #sketchbook

It takes me awhile to adapt to a new platform. Maybe I'll just start a series, 'doodling my way through the apocalypse'.

Last night's art escape; five critters in ink and a cheap-ass brush. (I'd buy better brushes but I'm a terrible bristle custodian.) #sketchbook

Wim’s dad Wendle had so many standout moments in the finale

• Stealing Bonj Phalfa's hoverbike
• Wim showing his dad how to have fun. Cheering after riding the hoverbikes
• The dorky dad brag: “Son, you are talking to a level 7 Systems Coordinator”
• Punching Jod in the face

Angertainment is a great way to describe the emotional experience most social media platforms are optimizing for.

One of my non-resolutions for the year is to wean myself off those other sites and spend more time on other, less-corporate-apocalypse sites. Of which I remain on only because of longevity and connections. It's a sticky wicket. Here's more snek drawings for 2025.

A week out from thanksgiving, so I'm drawing a turkey. An australian turkey, to be exact. This is the starting sketch but I like how it came out so I took a picture in case I mess it up later.
