Illustration of the show twin peaks. The setting is inside the black lodge, next to a lamp post with a strong light source is a statue, two hands in a strange formation & a cup of coffee turned upside down pouring out. Underneath is dale cooper walking next to a mirror image of himself. The doppelgΓ€nger is looking at the viewer with one shining eye. At the top left and bottom right corners are a symbol of two triangles, representing the two mountain peaks of twin peaks

I'm interested to notice where and how I and others go at times in the direction of "less" technology in art. I want to use less plastic, fewer synthetic materials.

Streetscapes are an ecosystem and landlords should be penalized for reducing diversity, I think as I pass the empty storefront in Dupont Circle that used to hold Bedazzled.

I dearly deeply wish this would happen here. I can only imagine what I would create if didn’t need to tackle art from a capitalism/business marketing standpoint.

Exclusive: White House uses USAID funds for budget director Vought's security, documents show The White House budget office is using millions of dollars from the former U.S. foreign aid agency to pay for the security detail of Russell Vought, President Donald Trump's budget chief and an archit...

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail.

It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children.

Vought is a mass murderer.

If caffeine could substitute, I would be nigh unstoppable. Oh. Oh, right. That's what it's like for people without things like ADHD, narcolepsy, and treatment resistant depression. Right.

I miss having the medication which treats both ADHD and narcolepsy for me and helps me be able to do things as well as not have to sleep for several hours in the middle of the day

Last year, in June and July, two of my tillandsia recurvata flowered. In late November the fruits split, and now some of the seeds appear to be growing. I'm so excited! These are the best air plants of them all.

It's almost as if money is hoarded by the already wealthy and the lower middle to lower class uses it to.... BUY things.

Dark teal background with headline text reading "CTA: Call Schumer & Your Senators β€” 'Vote No On DHS Funding'" and subheadline "Do it for Nurse Pretti." Byline shows "by Matthew Cortland β€” 01/24/2026." On the right is a photo of a smiling man with glasses and a beard wearing light blue medical scrubs, standing in front of an American flag. A faint line graph decorates the lower left. Bottom banner in gradient teal and peach displays "SHOULDN'T NEED TO BE A LAWYER" with the Patreon logo and "PATREON.COM/MATTBC."

Federal agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this morning. He was a 37-year-old ICU nurse who spent his career keeping people alive β€” including at the VA.

Call your senators & call Schumer. Vote NO on DHS funding. 🧡

I'm pretty sure it's javascript's fault. Since Gen AI "codes", the baby has definitely already manifested. Oh God

This is ridiculous and it disgusts me (fuck stadiums, fuck golf courses, and fuck lawns) but at least they're required to use bird-safe glass.

Two big red cats circle a terrified hog encased in ice. The cat's tails are flames and melt the ice partially, exposing some pig butt and giving it a singe. "Uh-oh Step-Pig, I'm Stuck...!" ok I made the joke for you so you don't have to. Hot ham smoke emits from the pig and spells "BECOME AN" and melted ice on the bottom spells "ICE-FREE ZONE"
