Since artists are all voicing their opinions this weekend here's mine: I really enjoy working on commissions where the reference is very rough, especially if a non-artist client drew it themselves. It's a lot of fun trying to interpret their vision.

Award-winning voice actor Ben Starr has publicly criticized Microsoft following the recent Xbox layoffs, accusing the company of telling employees “multiple lies” before the cuts. Starr, best known for voicing Clive Rosfield in Final Fantasy XVI, said he spoke to affected employees and claimed many were repeatedly reassured their jobs were safe. “They lied. Multiple times. To multiple people. Repeatedly.”

`🚨⁉️🚨Is America a sovereign nation or are we now as subservient to a foreign power as we are to the lobbyists controlling our elected officials? We are in a very strange time where I see a Democrat voicing a concern that we should all have while many Republicans are staying quiet. Generally speaking the Dems are nuts but Congress is now debating merging our military with Israel. I support the nation of Israel and I support the Jewish people but this is an insane attack on our sovereignty. Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly destroyed peace talks with Iran numerous times, he sold his own people out with the mRNA COVID jabs, and even funded Hamas terrorists to attack his own people through Qatar - why would we trust him ever? And even if we could trust him what happens when a new leader comes in and sells our military secrets to an enemy. We constantly watch our elected officials sell out to big pharma, big chemical, and every other lobby out there but, never before have we considered giving our most sensitive secrets to a foreign power. A power we do not control and that could then sell those secrets to our adversaries with no recourse. Section 224 of the NDAA - in Congress now - indisputably puts our nation at risk. We can support any country we want but why in the world would we give away our military tech and secrets?

Just sitting here pondering how happy I am that The Man music video is OUT. I want to say thank you to so many people- Gotta thank @TheRock for voicing The Man and for being so supportive of my music for years (and now my directorial debut!)-

🚨#BREAKING#: A permit to demolish a residential home and build a 3,000 square foot mosque just outside of Charlotte NC, has been DENIED by the County Council. "Arafath Mohammad" did not inform any neighbors of his plan to build a mosque when he purchased the home. Residents stormed the council hearing saying: “Islam is not a religion, it’s a takeover,” said a Lancaster County resident opposed to the project. “We do not want Sharia law in this area,” said another Lancaster County resident. After 2 HOURS of residents voicing their opposition, the council unanimously denied the permit.
