My thanks to Procreate for sponsoring this last week at DF. Procreate is loved by professionals and newcomers alike, because of its creative power and beautiful design. Made exclusively for iPad, Procreate is committed to delivering a premium experience for artists that’s accessible to everyone. It’s an absolute bargain at a one-time payment of just $10. Just $10 and you get a professional-grade drawing app.

Drawing tools are an extension of the artist and the people at Procreate believe that artists shouldn’t have to rent their tools. They believe the process of creating art should be effortless and delightful. In my opinion it’s not just a great iPad drawing app, it’s a great iPad app, period. The overall UI aesthetic of Procreate sets the bar for what an iPad app should be.

And with the big Procreate 5 release coming soon, they’re continuing that mission. Procreate is already great and about to get better. Get a preview of version 5 by following this link.

Jonathan Chait, writing for New York Magazine:

Representative Mark Meadows, one of Trump’s more slavish followers, observed in the president’s defense, “He didn’t see anything wrong with the conversation he had with a foreign leader.” That is probably accurate. Trump has a finely honed antenna for assessing winner versus loser, or loyal versus disloyal. But the formulation of moral concepts is not a function he can perform. His brain is no more capable of distinguishing right from wrong than your microwave oven can tell you what’s on Netflix. No American president has more richly deserved impeachment.
