I love this set in my collection showing that magic moment when a cat sees you and decides to come visit. ✨

In Oversight today, my colleagues stuck to their usual script: blaming immigrants for all crime & claiming Dem mayors are too soft. Well, I was curious to know if they’ve ever had an immigrant with a criminal record that they could recall. Tune in!

Through his company SpaceX and division Starlink, Elon Musk's involvement in the Russo-Ukrainian War has been significant, and met with concerns.[27] In 2024, USAID's Inspector General notified Congress a probe was being launched to investigate, among other things, USAID's oversight of Starlink Satellite Terminals provided to the Ukrainian government.[28]

Reading up on Starlink (starting on Wikipedia), I stumbled across this paragraph. It could explain why USAID was targeted so quickly and ruthlessly by Elon Musk.

i asked an art elder for reassurance recently, i said β€œwhat is the role of the black artist in times of fascism?”

he said: β€œto create a world for us to imagine and calculate through art.” for me, my task remains that simple.

2025: Keep democracy alive. FrameLab New Year's resolutions Advice for defeating the authoritarian threat

Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025:

1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.

Remember to keep your eyes on the prize: the future world you want to build

Don’t drown thinking only of the things you are against

Remember to dream of and work to create what you’re for

Felt called to rewatch 'Dune' last week, not sure why. Watched it in increments (including this part); finished it the night before hearing the news. RIP Mr Lynch.
(Also: who composed this little ditty? & how many alien instruments can Patrick Stewart now play?) #davidlynch #dune1984 #patrickstewart
