Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

Useful teaching example of bad science journalism & sci communication. 2 interest grps (including Moms Across America) issue non-peer-reviewed findings/claims, no independent scientist cited--just attorneys & reps for the Girl Scouts. Completely unhelpful article--essentially clickbait. 🛟🧪 medsky

Here's today's lunchbox doodle with a few backlogs from this week. Can't imagine people doing this on a regular basis.

Forgot to post this yesterday. It finally snowed this week so a yeti seemed like an appropriate doodle.

“What started as a purge of the security services accelerated Friday into a full-blown coup, as technical units aligned w/ oligarch Elon Musk moved to seize key systems at Treasury, block outside access to personnel records, & take offline comms networks.”

Just an unfinished sketch of a gorilla I had to force myself to sit down and draw. Not sure why my enthusiasm to post my mediocre drawings waned but here's something.

Trying to be a mini Trump, Poilievre? We’ll see how that goes with Canadians. What Canadians want to know is how you’ll stand up to Trump. But the reality is that Trump will steamroll you.

Telling someone who's autistic to ignore a sensory trigger is unlikely to help them. Many autists report that their brain can't filter out triggers in the way NT's can. We wish we could ignore them but we just can't. Imagine telling someone to ignore a fire in a room. That's how it feels.

OpenAI doesn't report a single number for its climate impacts - not anywhere, in any way, shape or form. It sounds kind of obvious but the fact that a company with such incredible electricity hunger isn't disclosing basic information about its energy consumption and associated emissions is v bad..

First time making a frangipane tart with poached pears. This recipe is from Tom Moore's book "Crust". So far everything I've made from this book has been an instant top 10.

Well I have to say that Marvel Rivals has reignited that long forgotten Overwatch part of my brain. It's funny how it all came right back after just a few matches.

Happy Friday. While we still haven't got snow I was inspired by Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons this morning. Bill Watterson is one of my all-time favourite illustrators and I'm glad I've been able to pass on my love of Calvin and Hobbes to my son, who's now read all my old books.

In case any of my fellow creatives also needed this reminder:

Happy Thursday.

It's an "echo chamber" when their voice isn't the loudest anymore.
