a digital drawing of a gray cat with a capped eye and studded collar, leaning forward and bleeding from the nose. It looks at the viewer with defiance or determination. Text around it says β€œget killed eight times/ come back nine”. The red border around the image has two cars, arrows, knives, and poison bottles, numbered to match its deaths.

When millions of people are suffering and dying because they cannot access health care, it is a moral wrong. It's also going to have catastrophic intergenerational repercussions. So many of us already can't afford food, housing, and other basic needs and this is a recipe for disaster.

If a budget deal goes through without restoring Medicaid & ACA subsidies, they will never be restored.

That's a death sentence for millions of Americans but also to the entire republic and economy: Health care is a for-profit business generating TREMENDOUS economic activity & will grind to a halt.

Charlie Kirk says gun deaths "unfortunately" worth it to ... The conservative founder of Turning Point USA made the comments following a mass shooting in Nashville last week that resulted in six deaths.

A thing happened at college in Utah today. Anyway, the same guy said this after a school shooting in 2023.

The Charlie Kirk shooting happened essentially as another school shooting happened a state away

My hill: kids are naturally creative and artistic. You give kids paper and something to draw with and you will get the wildest shit ever created. It's an actual tragedy & horrifically anti-human to be shoving AI on them and encouraging them to stunt that essential part of themselves.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:

1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;

2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;

3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Could you imagine someone trying to use Maya with Microsoft voice commands? It already crashes at the drop of a hat. All those 3D artists screaming through tears, "No! The other face. EXTRUDE THE OTHER FACE!!"

@actupper.bsky.social informed me of the newest Microsoft OS using voice commands and I am imagining a cafe full of people talking to their computers. Considering I start twitching when people answer their phone in the train silent car, this "update" sounds like a personal hell.
