On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

Make sure you understand the SAVE Act, which will seriously suppress voting rights, not prevent fraud as its sponsors claim.

I know this has been talked about, but they’re rolling out the ‘edit image with grok’ thing for mobile users on Twitter(the option came up on my iPad). More randos can play with any artwork you upload. I know some artist friends still use the site, so be careful out there!

Recently learned about The Business Plot, a plan by a bunch of wealthy business owners to band together and put a corporate-friendly dictator in the white house. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busines...

Always repost The Adventures of Mark Twain. Always.

It’d be bad to call my rep to tell him to go on this trip and then just stay in El Salvador, right?

Thought I'd do a big 🧵 on David Klein and the incredible work he did for TWA from the 1950s-60s. I've posted about him before, but not like this. Let's start with some of his classic posters for TWA: New York ('56), and Los Angeles ('58). #wardsmorguefile #moreartlessdoom

Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions: A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans. I would like to amend my prior statement. Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.

Since we’re all talking about it I want to blow up a real female space pioneer, Mae Jemison, an actual astronaut. She’s a graduate of Stanford and Cornel Medical School, served in the peace corps, started an educational nonprofit, and worked for the CDC researching vaccines. That’s a woman in space

My feelings about generative AI: 1) I'm highly skeptical it'll ever work 2) It's distracting from actual use cases for AI 3) We need a pause until it can be done without wrecking the environment or stealing IP 4) If it does have real potential then it shouldn't be controlled by ruthless people

Still my top advice for any people joining Bluesky. 💙

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences

These people are “crew” in the same way Laika was on Sputnik 2. At least we gave Ham something to do on his sub-orbital launch back in the 50s.

I’d rather drink paint.

NFT are dead because none of you actually bought or tried to use them. LEARN FROM THAT.

From this 👉 this. We out, Chi-town! Thanks for a great weekend! #c2e2

Vaccines save lives. And no, they do not cause autism.

Crows in a lab were able to distinguish shapes that exhibited right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry, suggesting that, like humans, they have a special ability to perceive geometric regularity.

C2e2 day 3! Look for the giant artist alley sign - we’re right under it! @c2e2.bsky.social #c2e2

Artists who've done your own "packaged doll version" of yourself but you actually drew it instead of gen slop: can you please show me? I need a visual cleanse and I want to see your ✨ CREATIVITY ✨

I'm moving all of my merch to Ko-Fi cause Etsy is killing me. It's moving slowly, but surely! Take a peek at what I have available now! ko-fi.com/creepepaper/...

AI is contributing to the need for more computing hardware, which puts a strain on the supply of rare earth minerals, which is why we’re deep sea mining. So those fake AI videos of deep sea “creatures” are not only bullshit, they are contributing to the destruction of real deep sea ecosystems.

As we face the possible closure of Goddard Space Flight Center and the cancellation of Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which began its life as WFIRST, it’s timely that I got this archival document from 2011 in the mail yesterday: Women of Goddard, which included a feature on a young fellow. 🔭🧪

I will surely come up with something thoughtful to say about the proposal to cut NASA's science budget in half, and especially one that reminds everyone that the cosmos is worth our curiosity and NASA explores it quite cheaply but also, FUCK FUCK FUCK, that's a major cut to climate change science 🧪

QRT your growth ! 📈 2007-2025

Yes we all need to fight. We also all need to live, to enjoy, to be silly, and to find joy in what we can. We can't afford to lose either end of the equation if at all possible.

It’s drop day 👁️👄👁️ !!

C2e2 day 2! We’re here and open at table z-05! Right under the Artist Alley sign! Come on over and see us! #c2e2 @c2e2.bsky.social

HEY! YOU! Yeah! YOU! A bunch of you came and talked to me or @rays666hell.bsky.social or both Ray and I today about better labor practices in comics and convention experience. We learned a lot! Some of it I love, most of it I hate! All of it we're grateful for.

A map of the exhibit hall for SakuraCon and where my booth is located. I'm kind of near the Copic booth so I added that as a landmark for navigation. ;D #Sakuracon2025 #artbooth #dragonart #seattle

Dr. Jess reads goodly. Go hear her do that.

God, Phil is just so good.

happy friday

All set up for C2E2! I’m debuting my first t-shirt drop AND doing panels and portfolio reviews with WE CREATE mentors @tracieching.bsky.social @hookieduke.bsky.social and @doaly.bsky.social

Yes, I’m at a con this weekend, and, ostensibly, I should be promoting my table, but I’m just gonna spend the evening promoting my friends’ stuff. Deal with it.
