Artists should always feel good about talking up their art. Bad stuff is always happening in the world, you can't hold off every time. Your art is some of the good stuff.

The 20 Elections to Watch This February - Bolts Democrats hold the narrowest of majorities in Maine and Pennsylvania’s state Houses. They now need to defend vacant seats to retain their edge in each through the end of the... Read More

NEW: Special elections in the razor-thin Democratic majority-Houses in Maine and Pennsylvania. Billions of dollars in funding for school. A congressional primary.

There are plenty of important elections right around corner, in FEBRUARY.

So i put together my monthly guide of elections to watch:

IDF accepts Gaza Health Ministry death toll of over 71,000 Palestinians killed in the war Although Many International Experts Have Accepted the Health Ministry's Data as Reliable, and Even Conservative Relative to the True Death Toll, Israel Had Refused to Accept the Health Ministry's Coun...

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!

A straight-up admission that this isn’t and never has been about immigration enforcement, and Dems and media should say so.

YouTube video by NBC10 Philadelphia Philly DA vows to prosecute ‘wannabe Nazi' ICE agents who violate the law

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States."

No I don’t want you to “polish” my email you robot piece of shit, if I didn’t want those exact words I wouldn’t have written them!

So fucking angry at all the emotionally disregulated assholes who believe they do this in my name.

I have a deep, unjustifiable love for this movie. Tamahori directing a snarky Mamet script with utter earnestness creates an alchemy I find irresistible, though I can’t defend that opinion so I never recommend it.

The good news is all the brazen, cartoonish corruption makes it easier to run on an anti-oligarchy, good government platform. The bad news is you still need candidates who want to do that

I truly would not have predicted quite how much content they’d be able to squeeze out of “hitman gets Alzheimer’s.”

ICE activity has not noticeably tapered off yet here and in fact this week they seem to be focused on terrorizing kids at bus stops and schools.

These are the Haitians attacked by Vance in 2024 at the urging of Canadian neo-Nazi Geoff Martin, aka "Captive Dreamer," who he appears to follow closely.

They're currently here legally. The admin is abruptly making them illegal, then removing them in a 1940s-style militarized cleansing campaign.

Leading democratic politicians should make plans to be in Springfield on February 4th

I messed up my entire life
'Cause Ella McCay
(Ooh, ooh)
I lost my kids and wife
'Cause Ella McCay
Now I'm sleeping on the sidewalk
And I know why
(Why man?)
Yay-hey!
Ella McCay
Ella McCay
Ella McCay-hay

Gonna grab me a dozen Melania popcorn buckets in the hopes that they're valuable kitsch objects in a few decades.

One thing I can't get over in these photos is... why even have the ICE agents in them? Even if the mugshot shaming idea was going to work (which I very much doubt) it's completely undercut by the hulking figure off to one side who's conspicuously hiding their face. It draws the eye like a magnet.

I've been a little bit leery of RT-ing ICE-related stuff the last couple days because there's been this weird rash of people posting fake updates for clout. (I was kinda stunned to find out "If you raise your voice I'll erase your voice" is apparently real because it so completely fits my priors)

"Wait 'til your bosses finds out you've been publicly objecting to the masked marauders destroying their city, you'll be in trouble then!"

As many people have pointed out, so much of Republican politics are driven by a desire for vengeance on the whole calendar year 2020.

Republicans seem to be obsessed with the idea that they could successfully deploy "reverse cancel culture," as if most Minnesotan employers will treat an ICE mugshot as equivalent to a sexual assault allegation or getting caught on camera saying the n-word.

It's obviously repulsive that they're doing this and they should stop, but holy SHIT does it not have the optics they seem to think it does.

If you don't finish the art you get sick of mid-project, you're never going to finish anything.

Unlike some others on here, I want Obama fully hands on with this, however dissonant that is with his actual immigration record, because he has a reach no other Democrat has. But "you gotta read this one book, it lays it all out" has literally never worked. If they're listening now, tell them now!

this is an absolutely disgusting thing to write in the middle of the people of Minnesota’s astonishing commitment to nonviolence (as well as being flat-out wrong with regard to the books, lest we forget Molly Weasley)

Dude, say it in the thread! Don't sent people to a second location, they won't go!

It’s wild how screamingly obvious he makes it that he regards his supporters as nothing more than marks to be fleeced and they simply can’t see it. I’ve heard subtler robocalls.

It’s such a tough call. Simple Plan and Spider-Man 2 are clearly objectively better movies, but just in the context of a Raimi list I’d probably give #1 to Evil Dead 2 just ‘cause it’s such a pure uncut expression of the artist himself, the object that couldn’t exist if Raimi didn’t exist.

I can’t remember who coined the phrase “dril-ass administration” but they keep being vindicated.

These were both dictionary-definition acts of physical courage. But libs are supposed to be wimps. So the desire is to backfill some reason why Pretti acted stupidly or Omar (who has dealt with threats for years) couldn't really be physically courageous.

The cover for It Walks Around The House At Night & Jurassic: Two Plays by Tim Foley. The silhouette of a man stands in front of an ominous mansion...

Cover reveal! Look at this spooky double volume of scripts!! If you fancy being stalked by a ghost or hunted by a dinosaur, these are the plays for you. (Artwork by the wonderful @seanlongmore.bsky.social)
