I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

The year is 2382. All physical and digital media was lost in a great cataclysm that humanity has gradually rebuilt itself from. The village gathers for festivities and drinks. A travelling musician plays a song passed down in folk tradition for centuries. It is called the YMCA. Everyone joins in

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Today 31 years ago the PS1 was released. In honor of Sony Playstation 1's birthday lets unironically celebrate by rewitnessing the greatest (in my opinion) bit of voice acting speech on the platform from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Oh, also in recent movie news, I got some friends of mine to watch both the original of The Blob and the 80s version.

They liked them both! Still crowd pleasers to this day, even if the original has like 40 year olds pretending to be high schoolers.

Last year after the election, I reflected: "When we fight, we win—but sometimes the fight takes awhile."

Last night, we saw Democratic victories across our nation. I am so proud of these enthusiastic, principled, inspirational leaders who will continue to fight for our nation, ideals, and progress.

Respectful celebration and remembrance of loved ones. Family members bring votives to light the darkness, food, drink, candy, flowers for the departed. Along a curved road, rows of seated figures with candles and tied bundles, layers of mountains, small church, and lake in the distance

Some rare great abortion news in tonight’s newsletter:

- A federal court ruled that the FDA violated the law by imposing unnecessary restrictions on mifepristone

- The New York Supreme Court rejected Texas’ attempt to issue a judgement against an abortion provider here

Happy Halloween!

Edison Park man’s got some things to say to immigration agents, and he’s got some moves…

We will never see this level of fame again.

Rendezvous on the Beach, by Edvard Munch, 1896

There’s a special place in hell for anyone who can watch this and feel joy.

And for the ones just standing there doing nothing, you’re not much better…

I am a lapsed Catholic so not up to speed on current doctrine but pretty sure Jesus thinks it’s a sin to withhold food from people.

Civil Rights cases Stay focused Trying to go back to segregation

President Orange Julius Caesar and his ilk claim that guns are a God given right but don’t feel that food is a God given right. They claim to care about babies but don’t care if they go hungry when they become children.

Mike Johnson, Tom Homan, Vance, Trump… a big part of what’s going on right now is that not a single one of them can experience or understand the feeling of joy.

I never thought of these words, but they're perfect.

‘Harpy’ linocut print.

I wanted to combine the woodcut style of Aldrovandi’s harpy with the Yubaba bird from Spirited Away. SO I DID.

These ICE commercials are the worst

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record.

I just don't know what to say anymore.
