It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

The last day to pre-order the second printing of IS TED OK? issue 1 is Monday, March 16. You might as well do it.

I’ve said it before, but People magazine should get a Pulitzer for its coverage of this administration.

New Quinnipiac poll shows Trump continuing to crater:

37-57 overall approval
39-58 on economy
38-57 on handling of Iran

The kicker: 55% say Iran did NOT pose an imminent threat to the US, while only 39% say it did

He's really settling in at that 38% number on many fronts, isn't he

And, obviously, someone's going to say "But human writers read and are inspired by other writers" - yes, of course they are, but that blends with human experiences, struggles, sensory inputs and emotions to create *novel* novels. This is where all those previous books came from!!!

Think always saying he has dementia lets him off the hook and is quite offensive to the cruelty of the disease, he knows what he is doing this is like no dementia I’ve encountered

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

This is awesome--I use a similar set of rules but add a couple more things if that's ok:

1. One drawing from reference and one drawing from imagination per x pages (to keep these two things in close stylistic quarters)
2. Try to use these things in service of the story as much as you possibly can

so my challenge to buckaroo readers who share constant news about dying creative industries, who repost stories about AI harming the arts, who lament the loss of genuine human creativity, JUST TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO ACTUALLY PREORDER SOMETHING FROM A HUMAN ARTIST THAT YOU LIKE

Thanks, Doug! I definitely think it's a good cover for a second print, intriguing in a less urgent way, ya know?!

Listen to Jeff! The new cover for the second print is radβ€”and, if you missed out thanks to the first print run selling out quickly, now’s your chance to get caught up.
