LEGALLY YOU SHOULD BE SENDING INVOICES FOR GOODS AND SERVICES. IF YOU TAKE COMMISSIONS ON PAYPAL DO NOT USE FRIENDS AND FAMILY. YOU ARE NOT SAFE, YOUR CLIENT IS NOT SAFE.

THIS IS A FORM OF TAX EVASION.

YOU SHOULD BE USING INVOICES.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

had to put this one together from the archives but: called it again

Twitter conversation:
kthorjensen: Didn't know that Matt Gaetz's fiancee is VR soy-pepe Palmer Luckey's sister. I guess pedophiles really do stick together
palmerluckey: Is there a reason you think I am a pedophile, or are you just an idiot?
kthorjensen: Just playing the odds

You're going to need it if you ever need an oophorectomy (ovary removal) or have your ovaries removed along with a hysterectomy. You have no idea what going through instant menopause is going to do to you. You think you have flashes now? Oooboy.

I have some bad news for all you cis women voting and working to ban HRT. You are going to NEED that shit when you hit peri/menopause. All of our struggles for bodily autonomy against a fascist cisheteropatriarchy are connected.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

you get actors like Alec Guinness despising their genre work, or like Jeremy Brett being massively screwed up by it, and then you get Christopher Lee calling his cat Renfield.

The “viral photos and videos of animals acting cute or interesting with people or each other” industry has been destroyed by AI. The last few examples I’ve seen of this have been AI. I have a feeling slop will further derail a pop culture understanding of animal biology and behavior

Basically, I'm 100% against Nazis, Nazism, Nazi symbols, and the ideas of Adolf Hitler

And I'm old enough to remember when that stance was so widespread in American politics and culture that it was considered boring to even say

A hill I often die on when lettering comics is what I call "unexpected reading order," where, because of the action on a comics page, the reading order isn't a straightforward left-right-top-bottom (prose editors struggle with this a lot). Sam Rosen does it perfectly on this Spider-Man splash.

A splash page from a Spider-Man comic by Stan Lee, John Romita, Done Heck, and lettering by Sam Rosen. The Kingpin, at right, is punching Spider-Man towards the left side of the page. The word balloons and thought balloons by Rosen follow a spiral pattern following the action back and forth across the page, and a blue highlight line indicates the reading order flow.

I honestly believe that opposition to Me Too—or even willingness to mock it—is an indicator of personal moral rot and nascent conservatism. So far this has a 100% predictive accuracy.

I always wondered why France had so many heists but if you can still just put a ladder up to a window on the Louvre in the year 2025 and get away with a big bag full of priceless jewels I guess that solves the mystery

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

One of my least rational beliefs is that if you pull off a heist without hurting anyone or getting caught within a day, that's your stuff fair and square.
