You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

My son doing a silly pose while wearing an MIT shirt.

In today’s blog at The Legacy of Dominic Deegan I am in the beginning days of my son’s week-long Spring Break and what that means for my work schedule.

SPRING BREAKING

surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters

grammatically weird that we say “have sex” instead of “do sex.” i mean yes, “do sex” sounds absolutely TERRIBLE, but “have sex” is hilariously passive.

the fencing visualization system i worked on with rhizomatiks
is coming to los angeles this weekend 🤗

I’m not famous enough to ever get an opportunity for this, but I’d love to try writing SLEEPWALKER, the weird Marvel hero who only comes out when his host is asleep. (I had this first issue, too.)

Solidarity. ✊

In 2023, Governor JB Pritzker was joined by Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, advocates, and lawmakers at the Harold Washington Library to sign legislation outlawing book bans in Illinois.

Illinois made history as the first state to outlaw book bans once and for all.

Marginalizing people, ideas, or facts has no place in our state — and they have no place in a democracy.

This National Library Week, we continue our commitment to free thought and free speech.

This was the first time in years I actually saw more than a tentacle for this one. 😅

Since lots of folks seemed to enjoy that first video, here’s another look at the giant pacific octopus at the New England Aquarium putting on a show for the pre-marathon crowds yesterday. You can hear me go “wow” as it moves.

Gonna go with my top three formative lead guitarists, since I grew up in the 80s where they were ascendant and these players were the pinnacle of cool for young me:

Slash
Eddie Van Halen
Joe Perry

From “The Simpsons” house genius John Swartzwelder, interviewed in The New Yorker by Mike Sacks

Angry weirdos always bring up that I used to be a hairdresser as if I am supposed to be ashamed of it.

Timmy, I was a great hairdresser. I’m proud of doing a job that brought people confidence and joy.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

She’s still there, and still a crowd favorite!

It was really busy today, what with the Boston Marathon tomorrow. I’m very partial to the NE Aquarium and recommend it to everyone. ☺️

Took a trip to the New England Aquarium today and the giant pacific octopus was showing off for the pre-marathon crowds. I could have watched this magnificent creature all day.

🐁☁️🎈💕

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Writing rule: “Dont make all your bad guys one dimensional mustache twirlers. Thats rote and boring”

*looks at all the one dimensional mustache twirlers who lead others in real life*

Writers writing writingly: “Art imitates life.”

yall remember… companies dont make art, people do. there is no disney art, there is no unreal or tencent art. they create a wrapper around someone else’s art. find out who makes the stuff you love

Exactly one year ago today:

As Chuck Tingle famously said in regards to A.I., “I would rather eat glass.” 😄

It feels like almost every day now that I am grateful to have my own little comic on my own little website in some quiet corner of the internet.

"We'll use AI to put ads inside your comic panels" may be the craziest fucking thing I've ever heard
