A good way to think about the relevance of James Carville is if someone who worked on Grover Cleveland’s successful 1892 campaign spent all their time critiquing FDR’s 1932 campaign as not being the real Democratic Party that Cleveland represented.

If you've ever said "writing isn't just writing, it's thinking through ideas" this comic is for you, it's a love letter to the brain and all of the cool things it can do, but especially creativity and imagination.

My award-winning comic BRAINS is available on my shop! You can snag a copy for $15. It's 40 pages of colorfully illustrated visual meditations on the brain, cognition, thinking, perceiving and BEING human in the face of all this so-called AI garbage. Brains... I just think they're neat!

One gem that I rediscovered last week is the incremental game SPACEPLAN. Did you know that there was a remaster a while back adding a whole second campaign? I did not, and it was a delight. Great UI and soundtrack, too. Save the universe with potatoes. store.steampowered.com/app/616110/S...

I hate that we have let the nastiest racists on earth define and redefine our language. From "woke" to "DEI." Trump's policies are not anti-DEI. They are racist. US firms did not abandon DEI policies. They fired competent black women in droves on the basis of race and sex.
