Wtf is it about techbros that makes them think anything we learned before we all carried computers in or pockets isn’t worth paying attention to? Willful ignorance isn’t anything new in the US… but this seems like a whole other level of self deception.

I can see why we'd want to create a sorting mechanism to find the very worst people among us. I do not at all understand using that mechanism to staff leadership positions in corporations and government.

A song I literally quote to my dog, on walks. The Cramps had one for every situation.

Yet another arm. One more to go.

Trump's election bill tops 50 Senate votes, but Democrats could still block it The SAVE America Act has passed the House and enjoys President Trump's support, meaning the Senate's 60-vote threshold is the only thing standing in the way of its becoming law.

It *is* subject to the filibuster. It better be taken down by it!

Is there a reason this can't be filibustered? Do senate rules only exist to make things worse?

We need to make calling someone a β€œMerrick Garland” the same as what calling someone a β€œBenedict Arnold” used to be.

Still working on the figure. I like how it’s going, so far.

As someone going through life as an artist in the US, they might as well be saying β€œover here, we breathe chlorine.” Well, except what they have sounds astoundingly awesome…

He should have been the VP candidate in β€˜88. Maybe they still would have lost… but maybe by less, puncturing the myth of the supremacy of right wing ideas in this country.

Old lefty political opinion: Dukakis should have nominated Jesse Jackson for VP in β€˜88. It would’ve shown the courage he otherwise seemed to lack. He still might have lost, but I bet by not as much.

I got my passport at the end of β€˜24. I had an appointment. I still had to wait 3 hours for the 5 min β€œhere are my documents” process. So there’s that bit of time off work, as well.

My new 90+cri studio lights that actually make red look good. I highly recommend good lighting for those of you who make art. This was around $50 in materials to put together. There are fancier options, but this will get me through until tariffs go away.

The thing I thought was my birth certificate was just a β€œbirth announcement” (that said β€œbirth certificate” on it)… my mom got me a copy of the real one a few years back. Do your parents live near where you were born? Apparently it can be easier for them to get a copy, somehow…

Looking around my state, thinking about all the things he said he’d do and what he’s actually done, I question just how successfully he’s led…

It’s been 6 years, my dude… where’s that single payer healthcare? How about any concrete steps toward dealing with our outrageous cost of living? Were you too busy throwing homeless people’s worldly possessions into dumpsters while smiling for the cameras, you scumbag phony?

My tolerance for your expression is directly related to the direction you’re punching. Up? Fine. Down? Fuck off with that shit.

An oil painting of a man in a suit & hat with 4 arms. 1 hand covers his face. one holds a large carving knife by the blare, one extends a pinkie, one holds large scissors by the tip. A gray sky with clouds is behind.

 There’s enough softness & lack extreme detail that it didn’t come off looking weird. It’s the photo I might have had, if I’d had a better camera, back then. This is still one of my favorite paintings I’ve made. The image is good enough that I may offer it as a small print. I might do the same with more of these older ones that I still really like, but never had a chance/the technology to get great photos of.

I used the new, fancy Topaz upscale feature in photoshop to make this one look better than the 2007-era photo I had. More info in ALT. #fineart #contemporaryart #surrealism #oilpainting

I understand that I live in a racist society. I do not in any way understand people who willingly embrace that construct as something to protect and continue.
