Matte painting being here hurts me physically. What I went into digital painting and VFX for in the early 2000's.

With 23 years of continuous work as a letterer, and over 30 years of print/production experience, I’m now unable to find any new lettering work in comics.
Please keep me in mind when staffing your creator-owned projects and please consider requesting me on your WFH projects 🙏

Cool, half the comments in the live stream of the rocket launch are flat earthers or trolls pretending to be flat earthers.

I need to know what you thought of that one. Been on my radar for a while and haven't had a chance to track it down.

Why is profiting from insider information about national security decisions effectively a form of treason? First, it’s hard to think of a more fundamental principle for officials we entrust with important decisions, especially those that involve national security, that they or people they know should not be allowed to exploit their positions for personal gain.

Second, financial trading based on what should be closely held secrets reveals information to current or potential foreign adversaries. To exaggerate a bit, but only a bit, who needs to bribe agents within the government, or recruit them with honey traps, when you can infer the same information by keeping track of transactions on futures markets?

Finally, there isn’t that big a gap between using knowledge of national secrets to make lucrative financial trades and simply selling those secrets to the highest bidder. Once you’re breached the line that says you shouldn’t profit personally from access to information that is or should be highly classified, the line between trading based on state secrets and selling those secrets directly is a blurry one

For what it's worth Fate Freeport (by @greenroninpub.bsky.social) is also a pretty solid base for running D&D with Fate. (Brian Engard and I wrote it. Quite a long time ago.)

Dude's killing it! It is crisp, poppy, and just the right amount of detailed. RIP to any flatter working on one of your books, as usual, though, lol.

Seriously, though...this rules.

I’m going to need to cut this line I like from a piece about the Iran War you’ll read tomorrow, so I post it here to tell my darling I will see it in the gardens of heaven:

“We will not get bored," Trump said on Monday, minutes before talking about how beautiful the White House drapes are.

A lot going on, but the Cuba story needs to get louder, y'all. Human impact is far worse than the Maduro stuff, just a lot quieter. 11 million people without fuel or power is going to lead to mass disease and starvation quickly.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Between things like Vertigo coming back and this, it's hard to not want to get back to doing comics again.

If you don't get the religiousity ick, & you need a pick-me-up, you could watch the Washington cathedral in DC receiving the Buddhist monks at the end of their 2300mi Walk for Peace earlier today. Been unambiguously wholesome to watch the local responses as they've moved through the South lately.
