Did a bit of art recently, with Hugh Jackman in the Wolverine mask. I was aiming for the 90s comic style of inking. Reasonably pleased with how it came out #art#wolverine

An inked drawing of Wolverine, with Hugh Jackman in the mask.

I love this. The expression is so fun, the composition is wonderful, and the linework is somehow loose and precise.

It does feel like they want to lose. Or at least don't understand how much post-modern politics has changed the game. The inability of anyone in the democrat camp or media to point out that this is an event caused by Trump's own rhetoric is disappointing at best.

I think this is the thing that people prophesying doom are missing. Trump is likely to, in effect, stop in-person campaigning. Particularly as the shooter came from a group he sees as his base.

One of the biggest issues with people doing this is that it also demotivates people, so not only are they now feeling shitty, but also incapable of taking useful action that might improve things.

you see political violence is a chaotic disruption of the order of things when it happens to white christian nationalists but an immutable force of nature nothing could have prevented when they incite it
