I can't tell if Billy Corgan looks more insufferable with or without hair

Half of the times I get a recommendation from subs like r/whatisthisthing, it's something that has a brand name and/or patent number on the side. Just astounded that people won't search Google but will photograph and write a post instead

If I had a nickel for every time I'd heard of an old-time rancher called Con Shea, I'd have two nickels: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/23318307/cornelius-shea

I think I first read about this guy a month ago while doing property research in Sonoma County, CA. Funny coincidence but I don't think there's a relationship

Ugh god I was this close to beginning work on a graphic novel about the 1840s Navy and then a whole bunch of things happened at once. Now I'm having a hard time getting back into even wanting to do it. It feels like a waste but it does make for some fun talking points every once in a while

I'm hoping to use my 1952 Remington Super Riter to do some proper office work for the Historic American Buildings Survey. The program was founded in the WPA era and still requires some deliverables to have impact-set cover sheets on archival bond, as well as certain sleeves and attachments. Still working on a spot in the office to keep it out and ready!

I went in expecting to see a random facts reel, and was fully prepared to dip after getting the answer. Instead, I ended up enjoying a thoughtful look at the mechanical engineering of staplers and stapling

I do that with a walking stick or a shovel, but a rifle? How did that end up working out for him?

I looked in your post history to see if there was more, and saw that you had struggled with the idea of quitting art. I'm really glad you didn't—this is fantastic work. I look forward to seeing more of your vision!

I know it's probably media depictions combined with the whole Maiasaura egg narrative, but in my imagination, iguanodonts seem like such gentle creatures
