I like this way of looking at Los Angeles and at those removed from the fray who sound more anxious about our good behavior than the march to authoritarianism. bsky.app/profile/mdas...

Seeing a massive divide online between Angelenos of all political stripes who understand that the protests in LA yesterday were mostly peaceful and any violence was ICE-initiated and East Coast establishment liberals lecturing “the left” on how riots just amplify right wing talking points.

ya the problem with aging with your audience like that tho is that linear time continues marching on and eventually they get actually old and spending starts to slow down. bsky.app/profile/mdas...

Adult nostalgia for childhood hobbies is big money: Pokémon cards, Star Wars action figures, fancy Lego sets, etc.

People associate their childhood interests with a time when they had few adult stressors, so it’s comforting.

Sure they can! They more or less did this with Kerry vs Bush, where Vietnam war hero Kerry was the out of touch elite and nepo-baby draft dodger Bush was the authentic down to earth Texas rancher. if they can do it for a former President's son it can work for anyone. bsky.app/profile/mdas...

Also I don’t think the son of a former governor can credibly make the nepo-baby argument. Adams or Sliwa could run with this, but not Cuomo.

Also 60,000 people is about twenty 9/11s or fifty 10/7s, for context.

„Aus der Verwaltung wird die Pressestelle darauf hingewiesen, dass „unter keinen Umständen geantwortet werden“ darf, dass „die MdAs [Anm.: Abgeordnete] die Projekte bestimmt“ haben. Die Pressestelle hat dazu mit Goiny telefoniert, wie aus den Chats hervor geht.“

I draw a custom card every year, usually some kind of caricature if my family. Just last night we started brainstorming themes for this year’s card, in fact! 😄
Here are some recent ones:

Hanukkah is almost over and I haven't shared any holiday card art from years past! 😮 Here are the last 4 years worth of family holiday cards that I've created.
My family and I drawn in the style of Star Trek: Lower Decks characters. The text reads "This holiday, live long and prosper." There are some alien lizard-folk watching us, and there's a California Class ship in the sky above us. We're all waving at the camera, and Piper is giving a sarcastic Vulcan salute behind my head. My family and I drawn as a stylized cartoon. Piper is lighting the candles on a menorah. My family and I drawn as a dieselpunk airship crew. characters. Talia, with her voluminous teal hair, is the captain. Her scarf is whapping me, an engineer, in the face. Piper is some sort of military cadet. The text reads "Happy Holidays." There's another airship in the sky behind us. My family and I drawn as pirates. The text reads "Happy Yo-ho-holidays!"

It’s natural to need some urban server space. That’s very different from trying to put a hyperscale center in Manhattan.

A girl and a boy stand in a school corridor in front of lockers and flyers. The girl has a confident stance. She has brown skin, a denim jacket and jeans, and short hair with a black-to-red ombre. The boy is walking behind her, smiling over his shoulder at her. He's tall and has tousled blonde hair. He's wearing jeans and a cardigan sweater with Space Invaders-like aliens on it in bright colors. He's carrying a skateboard.

Its my understanding that communities of color have had a problem with Klobuchar since way back, since she was a prosecutor, so this is indeed nothing new, alas. bsky.app/profile/mdas...

Prime example of establishment liberals not knowing how to validate or empathize with what’s going on in these neighborhoods from the ice queen herself.

Asked about Trump activating the National Guard in California, Klobuchar quickly pivots to talking about the economy and healthcare

The largest difference between a metro and a "commuter" train is usually mindset.

Hi, #PortfolioDay !
I'm Mike and I like creating fun, colorful character-driven art. I make art for video and tabletop games and would love to create some MG book covers. I am also seeking representation.

An elf and an orc - both middle-grade girls - are alone in a museum at night. They both look worried. The orc has on a fur-lined hoodie and holds a home-made skateboard. The elf, in glasses, has cast a spell that creates a small ball of flame above her hand, giving them a small amount of light. In the gloomy blue background are skeletons of dragons on display. A grinning non-binary kid with brown and pink hair and a magenta and orange hoodie holds a ginormous fluffy blue and white cat, who looks decidedly unamused. In the background is a cat-tree which has seen a LOT of wear and tear. Princess Peach in a rockabilly style. She's wearing a pink polka-dot sleeveless dress, sports lots of Mario-themed tattoos, and is holding a milkshake. Album cover for the band Last Call, simply titled 'Volume 1.' Colorful, stylized art of wo guys in orange and red retro-inspired spacesuits ride atop of an old-fashioned rocket which is soaring above the Earth and moon. Alex, left, with a light blue electric guitar, pumps a fist while Greg, right, holds his silver saxophone and looks wonderingly at the stars.

A middle-grade-aged girl wearing glasses, jeans and a frog-covered sweater holds a copy of Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile and looks suspicious as she eyes the door of the library behind her. The door is ajar and a sign on it reads "Missing: Librarian." In a dark nighttime hallway with huge arched windows, a girl and a werewolf (also a girl) are sneaking around. Both are wearing school uniforms, although the werewolf's has ripped a bit from her transformation. She has just knocked over a small table and broken a vase and the girl is shushing her. Through one of the large windows, we see more school buildings and a full moon. The book cover title is "Boarding School Werewolf" by Jo Barnett. At the top of the cover, it says "School can be a transformative experience." Four kids in their early-to-mid teens around a table playing Da tabletop role-playing game. The game master is standing in front of a laptop and explaining something that's happening in the game. The other kids are rolling dice, arguing about rules, and explaining a plan. there is a grid map on the table, along with miniature figures, lots of dice, chips, and a sleeping cat. The entire piece is in green and dark pinks and whites, with a dark teal background. A screenshot from my game Puzzle Spy International, for which I did all of the art and art direction. (It's out now on Steam!) The setting is an ornate Italian geology and archaeology museum, all purples and golds with rocks and a T-Rex skeleton in the background. In the foreground Agent Epsilon in a teal mod dress looks at Stefania Plinth, the museum director in a bun, glasses, and navy blue dress. Stefania is making an angry hand gesture as she says "Those diavoli! They broke in here and stole the Eswatini Giant!"
