proposed ICE reforms:

1. abolish ICE

2. prosecutions

IATSE is currently ON STRIKE against the low-budget feature Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater, which is shooting in Chatsworth, CA. Instead of providing fair wages, benefits and safe working conditions to the crew, the producer is trying to bring in a replacement crew to continue filming. Members are advised not to cross the picket line!

STRIKE ALERT: IATSE is currently ON STRIKE against the low-budget feature Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater, which is shooting in Chatsworth, CA.

This is a great read. The through lines and continuity between the 3 timelines is a continuity marvel.

Reagan started stealing America's wealth for the few, and this is the end result of what he set in motion. A wealthy ruling class that controls everything. They feel entitled to rule. That's why they hate democracy so much. It threatens their "right to rule".
Tax them out of existence.

The performance's joyous inclusivity is such a contrast to the sour-faced bitching online. Why wouldn't you want to be part of Bad Bunny's America instead of MAGA's? At least they're having fun!

FANTASTIC!!

SHE’S FINISHED! My 5-foot-long Enterprise D oil painting is complete after nearly 100 hours of work!

I remember being 13 years old or so and trying to draw her and it was so hard, and all I wanted was to be able to do something like this. Truly a dream come true. 🥰🖖

LISTEN: There are a lot of folks out here working tirelessly to get the truth out there. Replying to us that nothing matters because there'll be no consequences is not only incorrect, but it belittles the work we do. It's insulting and shortsighted. Stop following us if you don't want the info.

FDA warned a Hims & Hers compounder after finding bugs and failing to report a serious side effect FDA inspectors found a live spider and dead cricket in a facility that was compounding weight loss drugs for Hims & Hers.

“One violation involved a failure to report a serious adverse event experienced by a patient who had taken a compounded version of semaglutide, the chemical name for the Wegovy weight loss medication sold by Novo Nordisk, according to an FDA inspection report of the Los Alamitos, Calif., facility”

I have had this reaction multiple times a day for at least the past year any time I log on.

A vibrant, wide-angle photo of a colorful outdoor mural promoting the "Super Bowl LX Apple Music Halftime Show." The mural is painted on a long blue wall in a sunlit, tropical setting with real palm trees and bright pink bougainvillea flowers cascading over the top. The artwork features a playful, surreal collage of cultural and football-themed elements: Central Text: The Apple Music logo in bold yellow and red 3D lettering is flanked by "SUPER BOWL LX" above and "HALFTIME SHOW" below. Iconic Imagery: Large illustrations of a golden trumpet, pink sunglasses, maracas, dominoes, and a cup of coffee with a musical note in the foam. Football Elements: Brown footballs are depicted growing on palm trees like coconuts and resting on the ground. Foreground: A young girl in a yellow dress walks along the sidewalk in front of the mural, passing a small goalpost illustration where a green parrot is perched. The overall aesthetic is warm, festive, and celebrates a fusion of Latin-inspired culture and American football.

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage.

The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts.

Introducing the “AI-BOROS”: the few companies at the ‘top’ of the economy handing each other billions of (debt-ridden) dollars for a product that both doesn’t exist AND doesn’t make any money.

and we ALL get to go broke when it inevitably implodes ha ha i love it here!!!

The right will act like nobody has ever heard of someone like Bad Bunny, who has sold billions, then insist some shitty right wing band at a TPUSA event is the Beatles. They’re a bunch of weirdos and we ought to say so.

I love being a student! Besides working out & meeting with a mentee, I took a 3-hour online class yesterday. There are so many people out there doing good work!

A lot of ugliness will fall in your lap, but with just a little effort, you’ll find all kinds of goodness.

T-Rex: People often have pictures of their family in their home. To that I say: FAH! T-Rex: And by "FAH!" I mean "hey, good start, but why stop there?"

T-Rex: I think we should have pictures in our houses not just of family, but of our FRIENDS. In fact, I think it so much, it's what I'm doing from now on! I'm gonna have nice photos of nice pals to look at and make me happy! Dromiceiomimus: Aww! That's sweet. T-Rex: RIGHT? I'm a good guy!

Utahraptor: But where do you draw the line? T-Rex: Explain! Utahraptor: You've created a VISIBLE THRESHOLD in every one of your friendships: are you photo-worthy or not? What happens if I come over expecting a photo of me and find none? T-Rex: Then you'll be so mad at me that we'll become worse friends and the problem solves itself! HAH!

Off panel: Okay, sure, but what if I think it's creepy you keep a photo of me? T-Rex: See my response to the question you posed immediately preceding this one! T-Rex: KEEPING PHOTOS OF FRIENDS IN YOUR HOUSE: A NO-DOWNSIDES LIFESTYLE CHOICE
