Tyler Robinson carved clever “bullet memes” into the shells for his online gaming friends, and then SHOT KIRK, under the vague authority that his family didn’t like him. The memes all reference Helldivers 2 (where the goal is to be the best fascist.) The reaction? Crickets. Because who can we blame?

Thanks for asking! I don’t like to tell people what to think or feel about a painting. In my experience people’s reactions are very personal. But my intention was to paint a story about a young woman at the end of a really tough night, betrayed, desperate and not sure what direction to move in.

Saw this moose yesterday near Blue Lake (Brainard Lake, Colorado). She stood in that same spot eating for like two hours.

If they use AI to read the 1.75M emails required from federal employees, does that mean we’re working for robots?

The Far Right Has a New Hero: Elon Musk Elon Musk’s takeover of the federal government has inspired adoration from far-right communities online that used to be reserved for Donald Trump.

“The American people quite literally voted for Elon Musk and DOGE when they elected Donald Trump with a historic mandate,” right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk posted on X on Wednesday. “Buckle up, Democrats.”

Breaking News: In a news conference with Israel’s prime minister, President Trump said he wanted the U.S. to take over Gaza in an “ownership position.”

What’s happening in the US is starting to feel more like a hacking than an election, with Trump basically cast as the idiot who clicked on the phishing email that let the ransomware guys in. Struck by how crucial tech not politics reporters are to us understanding it

I guess this is possible. Like all toddlers, Elon likes to play, but it seemed to me more of a dork moment than a sieg heil.
