To My American Viewers (Please Respond)
Posted a month agoIf you wanted to live in a state other than the one in which you currently reside, which would it be and why?
For example, I'd probably want to live in Massachusetts. It has a variety of seasons as opposed to just wet and dry seasons; I love its coastal areas; the state government isn't trying to censor people or try to take away rights; and the quality of life is excellent.
NOTE: If you are not from the United States, you can still answer. If you need a little geography lesson, I'm your guy.

The New Leader of the Free World
Posted 4 months agoI'd like to draw everyone's attention to the next leader of the free world...Emmanuel Macron!
Yeah, I am at a loss of words for what the **** happened last night. With that said, I would like to say some things.
Has the GOP basically become a reincarnation of the Nazi Party of Germany? Yes. Is it fair to compare Trump to Hitler? Well, for the answer to that question, ask the following people: those whom his presidency placed in concentration camps on the southern border; former members of his Cabinet; a great many historians; the guy that gave his name to that unspoken rule about mentioning Nazis in arguments; those whom Trump has said "live like vermin" or are "poisoning the blood of this country", both of which are words and phrases Hitler used to describe his enemies. (YES! THE ANSWER IS YES, WITHOUT QUESTION.) Will they succeed in passing every authoritarian policy planned out in Project 2025? Well, that's tough to say for sure.
It's true, we could become Oceania from George Orwell's "1984", and all our rights will be stripped away. However, Trump may have won, but it wasn't just because of his cult. Despite my comparison of the Republican Party to the infamous party that took over Germany in the 1930s, this description is not entirely reflective of the average voter. And I'm not just referring to Republicans like Liz Cheney, who was, to use the parlance right-wingers started to use several years ago, cancelled. Many voters who chose Trump did so because they've been convinced that, as authoritarian as Trump was years ago--and still is--he was good on the economy. (In fact, he inherited a growing economy, and his tariffs put a burden on workers, and mass deportations meant a loss of workforce. (For example, we had a good Mexican restaurant where I'm from, and too many people were being deported to keep the business running. And, for the record, there were deportations before Trump got elected; he just cranked up the deportations with no humanity or common sense.) Biden, for his faults, inherited a bad economy, made worse by the pandemic; and he turned it around. Biden added jobs to the market by the thousands, and inflation is lower than in many other countries.) Where am I going with this? Well, a good chunk of the people who voted for Trump didn't do so because they wanted America to become Nazi Germany 2.0. (There were many who practically did.) They voted based on feelings rather than facts. (If a person voted for Trump based on facts, then they really ARE a Nazi.) Should the economy turn to crap, which economists predict will happen, those who voted for him for economic reasons might vote for the Democratic candidate. There are still a fair number of people who like democracy and freedom and just don't realize that Trump is a threat to both of those.
What am I saying here? Prepare for the worst: update your passport status, or get one if you don't have one. But, at the same time, don't be a doomer. Do what you can to reduce the damage the next presidency will create. Form coalitions. Protest. Express yourself. Make it hard for Congress and Trump to pass legislation. And, most importantly, VOTE IN ELECTIONS!!!!!!!!! ...if we have any more elections.
I'm probably not going to be posting any art in the next few days.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Posted 4 months agoSo, I saw the new sequel to Tim Burton's 1988 classic "Beetlejuice", and, not to beat around the bush, I really enjoyed it. I'd give it a score of 9/10. It loses points because there are more subplots than necessary, and they often wrap up rather quickly. Still, maybe I'm just a sucker for spooky content, but a pretty solid sequel, it is, nonetheless.
What are your thoughts? I've heard this movie has mixed reviews, so I'd like to hear what you think.
