This profile is primarily for me to follow friends, creators I think are cool, catch updates on art/comics, games and transit. If you follow me and don't fall into those, there's a good chance I'll block you. It's not personal, but I'm not here to be perceived beyond my interests.
If I found out any managers at my company were screening candidates like this I'd never let them near an interview ever again for costing us countless potential qualified people over the stupidest thing I have ever read.
I’m sorry, but if you bring an iced coffee - or any damn beverage at all - to a job interview, you’re disqualified. It’s not hard, people.

It's the simplest thing, these little videos, to show that government is working, and more to the point, working for you. It kicks the teeth out of that old Reaganism about how the scariest statement is "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
On September 17th, we filled our 200,000th pothole. See something that needs fixing in NYC?

Probably a mixed bag. Hopefully happy that I don't hate my body like I did then. Probably bummed about the being single again/still. Probably disappointed that I didn't become a rollercoaster engineer, but also happy I'm living a comfortable life, that I get to travel and am more social than ever.
Would 20 y/o you be impressed or disappointed by you today?

Prefacing your podcast opening ad for Wegovy with a "only if you wanna lose weight" doesn't really change you pushing the diabetes medicine for weight loss ick that make me immediately find something else to listen to.

Weep's cover of Shut Up and Drive climbed deep out the well of my brain today and now it's stuck in my head. At least it's not on my music app, or it'd be immediately back in my playlist.

I remember playing Saints Row 3 and Holding Out for Hero playing through the final mission. Realize that it's been done time and time again, but that was my first time hearing it and damn what a song to make a moment pop. RIP Bonnie Tyler, you were iconic.

Definitely curious to see WMATAs numbers for this year. Skipped several sardined Silver trains before finally getting on an Orange train and then catching a slightly less crowded (but still pretty full) train back from East Falls Church.

Reposting more old Sailor Moon "art"... sorry but I'm not sorry at all. You can't argue with this because it's 100% correct

Only one for me, but definitely a lot of "do not recommend this channel" for ones I used to occasionally check out or watch when they showed up in my feed.
That moment when a channel that you used to watch regularly starts using Al thumbnails.

Seeing that something is using AI makes me disengage pretty quickly. Particularly in event spaces. Oh you used AI for your promo poster? What else are you cutting corners on? How much will you care if someone is being shitty to guests at the event? It just shows a lack of interest in your own ideas
People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.
![CBS MORNINGS ON YOUTUBE (JUNE 4, 2026)
Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al.
Kane: Absolutely not.
For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that.
When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wk7ktvs3sld47pgfndy43gyp/bafkreid3oivudz5p3kmcuu6ss3gr2tmy73r3uqe3ljh6h5rxbeax2dcme4)

Persepolis was one of the works that really both changed my view of the medium and also really shaped my empathy for people, cementing how much people, no matter where, just often wish to live and love their friends and family.
I cannot ever recommend enough taking the time to read Persepolis.
