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 “Merrick Garland” the same as what calling someone a “Benedict 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 “over here, we breathe chlorine.” Well, except what they have sounds astoundingly awesome…

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

I really hope “Dog” was at least some other kind of animal…

Oh, no, that was just the application process. I got the thing weeks later…

Old lefty political opinion: Dukakis should have nominated Jesse Jackson for VP in ‘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 ‘24. I had an appointment. I still had to wait 3 hours for the 5 min “here are my documents” process. So there’s that bit of time off work, as well.

Oil painting in progress below new, fancy lighting

Photo of a box of 4 1600 lumens, 90+ cri, adjustable color temperature LED light bulbs by Cree. $20 at Lowe’s

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.

Getting into the figures.

The dems in the senate better hold the line and not let that insanity pass…

The thing I thought was my birth certificate was just a “birth announcement” (that said “birth 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…

That is wonderfully awful. Thank you, sir!

First film to which I took a date. (It was a double date, even!)

I mean… “The Troubles” in Northern Ireland weren’t all that long ago…

I should’ve voted for the recall.

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?

Man, is Newsom a useless embarrassment. www.gov.ca.gov/2026/02/06/g...

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

YouTube video by Jello Biafra - Topic Power Is Boring

Reading about all the money being shifted to security details for MAGAts that used to be spent helping people brings this one to mind: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Tebn...

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.
