What the fuck

Researching what led up to the Iran conflict and the further I deep dive the worse it gets. We absolutely did not want or need to bomb Iran. Fuck Israel.

Even when I no-lifed this game as a work from home employee, that was still too much. Now I have an in-person job and am playing the game less. Nobody should *have* to put an unhealthy amount of time into any video game.

I have done the S+ rank up twice now and it's such a slog to have to gain rank points, hope your rank up attempt goes well, and then grind the game endlessly before season ends. It's way tok punishing of a system and doesn't solve the fact that people get carried into S+.

Drawing comics takes too long but it is satisfying to be back into doodlin.

It's... water

Long live 2D animation (& practical effects).

Halfway through the album and this shit is so fucking good but I also all the post-humous features are bittersweet.

Waterloo is solid. I've had a few other good niche brands. Whoever makes Aldi brand does a great job. Spindrift is a good juice replacement.

I know I would save money if I curbed my sparkling water addiction but I like when the water attacks me back.

Finally home listening to The Mountain. God I love Gorillaz. I recall exactly when the Humanz reveal dropped because I had started my new job in my lonely office listening to a ton of Spotify and thinking about how mucb I missed their music. And after Humanz they never stopped 😌 Feast after feast.

As I wind down for the night, huge shouts to the Pokemon and Gorillaz fans. This Friday is gonna be nuts.

I think all dogs deserve jewels!

Why are AI people so aggressive towards artists? It's like planting a tree and being pissed off at the dirt.

Grok is like a little inbred Chihuahua but that might be an insult to the Chihuahua.

Claude! I love all these stupid names they give AI. It's like the names of the dogs at an animal shelter.

Two things I've been realizing lately:

- Most people don't care about the quality of art/visuals. They just want content. Flaws are easily overlooked by most people.

- A lot, and I mean a LOT of people hate or are ignorant to the concept of community and selflessness if it requires self-sacrifice.

The problem with comics is that eventually you have to draw environments. I hate drawing backgrounds.

Happy 40th old friend.

"I love your facial expressions"

YES. That is the feedback I crave. I love drawing. I wish I were quicker at it but it is what it is. I love hands too and things feeling deliberately tactile. I love drawing, Charlie!

I am so happy you are making guides. These have been sorely missed for so long.

Chicken scratch here but Ah I love drawing! Expressions and interactions are so much fun.

"Loughran"

No, unless you confidently know how to say it, you are not pronouncing it right. Also I will delete this later for privacy probably.

If I hadn't just started my current job... alas. Good luck finding your next employee! Yetee is awesome!

Yeah, you definitely don't want to mess up your shoulder if it's having issues, or reintroduce trauma. I loooove swimming so I really hope you are successful at this! Good luck!!

Ah. I grew up swimming so it comes naturally to me. Generally speaking, swimming should not involve intense shoulder movement, at least to wade water and move around casually, though I am unsure what your approach is at the moment. Have you looked into an instructor to help you approach this safely?

Are you trying to learn basic swimming because you don't know how to at all, or are you trying to learn strokes like Freestyle, etc?

Page 2 a lil rough tho don't look too hard on that one. :)

AI can and Will never draw hands as well as I can. 😊
