If you use Notepad++, this is critical reading and you need to update ASAP

Amazon dropped $75M on the Melania doc — with a big chunk going into the Trumps' pockets.

Since then, Amazon Web Services got a $580M Pentagon contract.

And this week, Pete Hegseth visited Blue Origin facilities as the DoD overhauls how it hands out defense contracts.

Always follow the money.

There is an actual argument that this curse actually worked.

Great article:"No more pedestals. Because Great Artists don’t exist. People exist. People who are flawed and who, when they gain immense power, a circle of sycophants and enablers, and ultimately have no checks on that power, quite often go down paths that are manipulative, damaging and terrifying."

Second paragraph is absolutely a 🎯

Good thread on something very hard to grapple with.

I also think there are abusers who are skilled creators and use their talents to mask their abuse much in the same way others might use being, say, a pastor or a community organizer to conceal their abuse.

I think that “people having beefs” seems to be a pretty inevitable part of the process of activism.

Arguably, it can be productive - people have to hash out disagreements in decentralized movements one way or another.

But maybe…try to keep more of that stuff to the Signal group chat.

It's very much a real problem and also I just want to be like, "Look, my back hurts, I use a cane, and my joints will absolutely tell me what the weather is. Let me in."

It's almost as if it's possible to do good?

long rectangular cropped image of a cat taken from above. he is sitting with both front legs stretched right out in front of him, and his back legs are 'loafed' creating a very rectangular silhouette.

Why is it I can crop this picture of my cat and his body is equidistant from the edges of the rectangular image border. This is not how to cat, sir. Your head should not be in the centre of your body, dangit.

Pencil drawing of the sauropod dinosaur, Giraffatitan, stomping on a nasty human figure.

Older drawing from c. 2012/13. The great thing about it is that each time I re-share it, you know exactly whom the squishstain could represent.

A photo showing, in the foreground, a goose standing on a dead tree log on the surface of a lake. It is flapping its wings and they are extended backwards. In the background dead trees and branches, with warm glowing light coming from the top right corner. The overall color palette is mostly warm browns and ochres.

a close-up photo of dried up lime tree seeds dangling from a thin branch. The seeds at the tip of the branch are lit by warm sunlight. The background is out of focus. The overall color palette is browns and ochres.

a close up photo of catkins with water droplets hanging from their tips. The color palette is browns and ochres.

A photo of a group of cackling geese resting amidst twisted branches and twigs on the surface of a lake. The branches are covered in a thin layer of snow. In the foreground on the right side of the photo, an out of focus goose. The mirror like surface of the water reflects warm golden light. The overall color palette is browns and warm ochres, with some muted grays where the snow is.

Five rehabbed sterling rings, including a snake, a trilobite, leaves, filigree, and a branch ring.

Another angle on the rings including a diamond cut Mexican sterling piece.

The rings shining and fixed.

Something I've greatly enjoyed recently as I think more about my carbon imprint is fixing and refurbishing old, damaged rings until they're beautiful again.

Is this an app? I've been failing miserably at tracking manually

I remember a college professor of mine going on a rant about how the world was owned and ruined by “five old white men on yachts”

And I remember thinking, well, it’s probably more that people don’t examine their own actions, it’s not like a couple of people control the world

But you know what

Related, it’s so curious that the rise of male entrepreneurial grindset hustle core 9-9-6 bullshit and the emphasis on early marriage and tradwives happened around the same time 🤔

I say all this with love and in the hope young creators won’t burn themselves out or feel bad they can’t emulate this, because the real secret of any artist is often their partner’s full time job (and sometimes THEY are their partner’s full-time job—or they just have rich parents, sigh)

The people who are saying shit like "well it's either this or the borders are totally open" are doing their best to convince America that we should have completely open borders.

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.

Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.

With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.

Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Americans will really use anything but the metric system (complimentary)
