Time to post it again.

A meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the top panel, one man labeled "literally every company" hands a plate labeled "AI" to a man labeled "me." In the bottom panel, the man labeled "me" nonchalantly tosses the plate down the hallway, discarding it with casual disdain while the first man watches.

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans.

You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

I did a recolor of this illustration for print and it came out perfect! Navigating rgb to cmyk conversion is such a pain specially when you love bright colors 😅 I’m happy I was able to make it work in this case 💕💕

An illustration of windows xp desktop with a version of the bliss theme. There’s a bunch of windows open. The windows show different photos that are being used as reference to do an illustration in paint. The illustration being painted depicts a young girl with a rabbit mascot friend walking inside and aquarium.

This images shows a physical print of the previous image.
