We’re at the point now where AI probably just spends increasing amounts of time obsessing over the minute details of The Terminator, like Deep Blue trying to figure out where it went wrong.

“I’m in the ‘Hitler sucks’ wing of the Republican Party,” Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, said over the weekend at the R.J.C. event. “Here’s what I do know: You can sit in a basement with weird people and say weird things. It’s a free country.”

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

Happy Halloween.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

YouTube video by Degenerate Art by Andrea Pitzer What NO KINGS Means

It was the biggest protest in US history, but what happens next is what really matters.

Andrea Pitzer on what NO KINGS means and how to keep Trump rattled.

All of the pilfering, vandalism, and outright death caused by DOGE cuts, and all of the thefts from the future by illegally stopping research grants, didn't save a penny, Trump spent the money and more on corruption and incompetent ICE goons.

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

No, it’s just that we hate pedophiles

Tax Day Is Met With Tea Parties (Published 2009)

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

Group of postcard sized linocut prints—No Kings.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Nine small print exchange prints—plus mine at the end. Various subject matter and printmaking methods including relief, intaglio, and hand coloring. Prints are from the US, the UK, France, Germany, and Australia.

Received my open print exchange prints this week. Really happy to be a part of this project. I added my print to the mix (bottom row, far right) to make it a full ten prints. #openprintexchange #openpressproject #printmaking

Remember during the first administration when they gave journalist Leslie Stahl a super thick book that detailed their healthcare plans and when she flipped though it was blank.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

A terrified caricature of a person with their mouth agape and sadness in their eyes next to a caricature of noted historian Heather Cox Richardson. Ink line drawing with white highlights.

What’s it like listening to a podcast where historians describe our current state of affairs by noting historical parallels? Kinda like this. #sketch #history #podcast

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money.

Let that sink in

The fact that it’s not 98% saying Republicans are to blame is just nuts to me.

How many push ups could he do though? If I’m getting the gist of this right, that’s the most important thing.

You could literally take any number of quotes from today’s spectacle, put a photo of Trump or Hegseth as a background and you’d have yourself one of the finest demotivational posters ever.

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life

Such a disgrace and an embarrassment for this country.

It would mean a lot if you could share my work today.

Thank you for all the support this year. It’s everything to me

Hope Persephone’s blessings find you today ✨

For every €1 of public money invested in the pilot, society received €1.39 in return The net cost of the BIA pilot went from €105m to under €72m due to tax generated and savings on social welfare payments

It also finds that recipients’ arts-related income increased by over €500 per month on average, while their income from non-arts work decreased by around €280. Dependence on social protection declined, with recipients receiving €100 less per month on average, and 38 percentage points less likely to receive Jobseeker’s payments.

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare

Not saying this is wrong, just that it should’ve happened after Charlottesville, or after he said we could remove Covid from the body via bleach or light, or after Jan. 6, or after he announced another presidential run, or after the eating the dogs and cats comment, or…

Looking forward to this being in the hands of insurance companies that will take your money but then deny coverage based upon AI determined pre existing health conditions.
