In person caucusing was better than this zoom shitshow.

Ha ha, I was in the meeting too. Just peaced out from my HD meeting once the official business was done and some guy decided it was time to talk about days long past.

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

Twitter screenshot of the following quote being satirically attributed to Orson Welles: "Content, content, content! A taco possesses content. A ship's manifest. An owner's manual for the operation of a microwave. Was Botticelli a content-creator? Did Joyce wreck himself in chasing English to its limits "for the vine"? My God, man; have a little self-respect."

Apologies for the Twitter screenshot, but...

6 panel comic P1: a cartoony and deformed depiction of Link from BotW, stopping to pick up a rock laying in some grass. Link has a smile on his face as he does so P2: Link holds the rock above his head, as a Korok leaps up from the spot where the rock had been. They say "ya ha ha! You found me!" Link stares. Smiling. P3: a beat, as Link continues to stare at the Korok, who stares back. P4: an extreme closeup of Link, who has stylistically shifted to looking like he's stepped off the panel of a Fist of the North Star manga, black & white tones and all. His thick eyebrows scrunch together in frustration. P5: We are back to the previous style, as Link --smiling, always smiling-- positions the held rock over the Korok... P6: ...until he drops it on the Korok, who squishes cartoonishly as the rock bounces off their head, letting out a little "ouch!" Link's eyes closed with satisfaction as his smile grows wider.

the stupidest thing i have ever drawn (Lara croft takes offf her shirt, revealing one large triangle wedge boob with square nipples... a middle aged guy says "just like i always imagined")

My travel plans changed, so I'm now eating in the bar of an airport hotel in Fresno. This place has the distinct feeling of not having been updated since indoor smoking was banned.

A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”
