Graphic design is a slippery slope. I'm a filmmaker who never had any interest, but it kept coming up, and now I'm really digging it. I've made style guides for several clients now. This was the first podcast cover (as well as logo) I ever made for a client.

Wow, these Texan republican bitches are terrified! I've never gotten this much SPAM! 😹

Adobe doesn't do many things right, and deserves to have all of their IP stolen, but every once in a while, they listen to feedback... [I literally printed out the suggestion and handed it to Adobe folks in Austin] #Adobe #IfBuyingIsntOwning #PiracyIsntStealing

If you see Shane Gillis, report his location. We need to keep an eye on sexual predators who haven't been convicted yet.

If this isn't phishing then nothing is. #ChatGPT #FinanceScam

Amazon went out of their way to prove to millions of people that all they ever needed was a dumb Bluetooth speaker. #Alexa #Amazon

The first time I heard the term "virtuous cycle" it was being used by huckster and all around nutjob Matt Ridley right before he caused Britain's first bank run in 150 years! Can't wait Jensen! #Nvidia #VirtuousCycle #SeemsLikeSlop

How is the Onion still in business in the current year? Also, if you're familiar with Texas or the Police, you can put away your 'surprised face'. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... #ACAB

Has anyone ever listed all the shows that were potentially ruined by the influence of Beverly hills 90210? Eg. Doogie Howser, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, etc.

Jesus, have we not bled WWII dry yet? I mean, I know it's the only war that's deemed 'commercial' and safe for American audiences, but please tell me they talked the filmmakers out of courageous art to produce something as benign and devoid of ambition as this.

Is the 'benefit of the doubt' assuming he's dumb enough to believe this or that he's smart enough to know he's lying? #SeemsLikeSlop #AIBros

AI "artists" are the guys who secretly wished they were talented or creative enough to be a club DJ.

Anyone else being spammed by Ethan at Uplift Quote 'Inspirational Quotes' [liftedwords whatifops com]?! I've reported them as both phishing and spam, and I'm still getting their email. Most egregiously with "URGENT" messages. sickos. #Spam #Scam #UpliftQuote #EthanatUpliftQuote #LiftedWords

Everyone knows that Jay Shetty is a scam artist, right? youtu.be/CCIbdh570tg?...

Remember that time Pete Hegseth was trying to do eugenics, and accidentally provided gender-affirming care? #PeteHegseth #satire #FakeQuoteRealSubtext #Eugenics #GenderAffirmingCare

Did Derek Muller ever address Elon Musk's claims that Derek doesn't have a 'gag reflex'?

Statistically at least %10 of all people who saw the movie Red Notice will eventually be reminded that they saw Red Notice, and not believe it. #RedNotice

They can't even give this garbage away. #AIstillSucks #AISlop #seedance #Higgsfield

Happy Juneteenth! The day they changed the pronunciation of "Overseer" to "Officer". #Juneteenth #ACAB

"Enterprise Applications" is the new "blank check". Remember, if you want to steal money from dumb investors: Enterprise Applications #SpaceXIPO #ElonMusk #ConArtist

True story: I met Marc Andreessen a few weeks ago, and (unprompted) he told me that Joe Rogan doesn't have a gag reflex. Weird. guy.

Netflix @netflix.com must be thrilled they timed this so perfectly. #NetflixIsAJoke #LouisCK #GregPeters #TedSarandos #satire #FakeQuoteRealSubtext

Two solutions to Alamo Drafthouse's mobile phone enshittification: 1) don't go. (they won't care) 2) time to start bringing your own snacks and beverages again. (they won't learn a lesson) Fun while it lasted. #RIPAlamoDrafthouse

So, Wolf Children is amazing, right? And we should all be talking about it more often, unless you were, and I wasn't paying attention. If so, carry on!

The fact that no one has ever recommended the book Ready Player One to me, says I'm doing A-OK at life.

Suck a dick, Gemini Seriously, get OFF my page. I need that space for stuff more useful than you. Like being empty. [Solution: uBlock Origin, of course] #Gemini #uBlockOrigin #AIStillSucks

I sanded down my favorite lime cutting board and gave it a mineral oil bath! It was actually made by a coworker's partner for Christmas several years ago, and I've been using it ever since. But only for Limes!! (my family keeps 'borrowing it' 😾) #cuttingboardsofinstagram #CuttingBoard

Couldn't be happening to a more deserving company! #Adobe #AISlop #Nvidia #AdobeIsSlop

AI is the new pencil? True insofar as great art created with a pencil is special to the person who made it, but no one else. You have to put those ideas in a form that people would want to look at. #AIstillSucks

Remember when we didn't all universally hate @Adobe? That time did exist right?...? #Adobe #AISlop #Nvidia

EVERYONE: "We all hate AI!" @Adobe : "We know, why do you think we're pushing it, and charging you more for it?!" #Adobe #AISlop #Nvidia

If you ever forget that the majority of CEOs voted for a man already convicted of rape, they'll constantly remind you on LinkedIn.

We could save a lot of time and paperwork if registering as a Republican, and a Sex Offender were the same process.

Sometimes I forget why I go to my local public library, but Starbucks will always remind me with their throttled wifi speed. Also, libraries are a lovely place to work. #SupportYourLocalLibrary

I have a Pinot Grigio and Cabernet Sauvignon ready for the day that the bad cholesterol does its final work.

Much like its protagonists, the parts definitely outweigh the whole, but there are compelling parts worth experiencing in this hot and stylish mess. #TheBride! #MaggieGyllenhaal #JessieBuckley

If I had known that the Bioshock franchise is about killing racist* libertarians and confederates, I would have played them years ago! *redundant, I know, but racist libertarians are also very pedantic. #Bioshock

House Oversight Committee: "Wait. The creepy old guy who was convicted of rape... Wasn't there another creepy guy who used to do his job? Can we get a hold of that guy's wife?" #TrumpEpsteinPedoCoverUp

Remember when we thought Johnny Harris was a journalist?

Nowadays whenever someone asks me if I go to church, I assume they're secretly asking me if I assault children. "no way, I don't go anywhere near churches. That's sick!”

True Story: I am about to become the first man* in North America to ever finish his course of antibiotics. *pretty sure a few women have followed their doctor's orders to finish the course, but not many. #AntiBiotics #FinishYourCourse

The Spouse Was In Critical Condition After The Collision! #TheDow #PamBondi #Trump

So relieved that white people finally have their own halftime show. #HalftimeShow #BadBunny #AllAmericanHalftime #WhitesOnly

I doubt any audio engineers need this note, but GEARit XLR cords are pretty terrible.

My father passed when I was 15. Currently the best thing about my father being dead is that I am free to believe that he would have never voted for a convicted #apist and probable #edophile. I can't say that about most of the dad's I know. Dad's with daughters and wives.

I fixed their poster so 'Run, Hide, Fight' might be more useful than watching children die. #ICE #ICEOUT #RunHideFight
