there is a lot of awful shit happening, but in other news: i wish every point & click game ever was remastered with the control scheme from THE DRIFTER and an art refresh of all of those games in THE DRIFTER’s style would be welcomed, too anyway, thx @barney.powerhoof.com and @dave.powerhoof.com
Instead of watching an execution, you can: Give money to people in Minnesota doing the work: www.standwithminnesota.com Give $ to people in YOUR AREA doing the work, for me it's a group like CASA: wearecasa.org Organize or join a candlelight vigil. Give to a foodbank. Talk to your neighbors.

No one before Sam successfully raised a child, which is why the human species went extinct in Mesopotamia. Seriously, the best way to read this is that countless billions of humans did just fine but Sam is not as competent and self-reliant as them, and that's what AI wants us to be: dependent.

Rich was the sole reason I ended up working for #MadMen. He played Harry Crane who almost jumped out a window after Don Draper's Carousel speech at the end of Season 1 but his character was too good, so he was saved by a rewrite. (BTS TRIVIA!) I loved drawing him looking goofy every season.
