Tyler Walpole - NYCC Artist Alley H-15

"President Trump continued to describe Portland as a city on fire Friday even as residents enjoyed the first fall rain and the lone demonstrator at the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building was dressed as a pink Care Bear."

Sometimes there is a good sentence or two in the NYT.

Nice meeting you today!

I’d be thrilled to draw some Pirates of Dark Water!

Jim Lee confirms DC Comics will not support AI-generated storytelling or art

Ugh. I saw that today.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

I hope that if we get through this and there are trials for all of the lawlessness, reporters that have been failing this on this issue for the last decade will face lots of public humiliation. They failed us terribly.

I hear you. My assumption is that the £325/week is supposed to be a supplemental safety net to help folks take their shot, rather than a sustainable salary by itself.

But, I’ve only heard a tiny bit about this program. 🤷‍♂️

This seems like a much better use of our tax dollars that spending contributing even more oligarchs competing to be the world’s first trillionaire.

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

I posted this one week after the election in 2024. Holds up.

Only 0.03% Opt Out Of LGBTQ+ Education In Maryland After SCOTUS Gives Them A Right To After SCOTUS gave families a right to opt out of LGBTQ+ education, Montgomery County, Maryland is reporting only 43 families took them up on it.

1. 4 months ago, The Supreme Court gave families a right to opt out of LGBTQ+ education in schools.

Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in.

Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right.

Why yes I leave for NYCC tomorrow, and no, I haven’t started packing yet.

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

So…instead of selling soybeans to China, and bringing Chinese dollars into our economy, we’re forcing U.S. taxpayers to pay for those same soybeans to just lay around and rot.

Oh and we’re propping up Argentina with $20B. The place where China is is now buying the soybeans.

Super genius.

No. No it’s not. Portland is not “burning to the ground.” He’s lying. He’s fomenting hate & division. He’s aching to get our military on our streets to shoot at our citizens. He is the absolute worst of us.

Yeah, this is just me projecting some optimism onto their internal dialogue.

This is a very dark day in the history of U.S. journalism. Shameful.

Wait. Did ICE traumatize an entire Chicago area apartment building (and violate the residents’ 4th Amendment rights) just to make that sickening “Join ICE” commercial?!

JD Vance wants to use the 25th Amendment to become president. Stephen Miller wants to exploit Trump’s dementia to run the country himself. Call it the new checks and balances.

Well I hope it works out because it sounds like it would be really fucking bad if this was a bubble.

NOW: Starting a new thread on the Portland National Guard hearing happening now. We're in the hearing. 1/

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

Available!
