Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

The way I just snort-laughed 💀💀💀

I’ll Be Glad When You Dead…

Buck Woods tells German-speaking Nazis what he thinks of them while performing in France. Somehow feels relevant these days.

From REUNION IN FRANCE, starring Joan Crawford and John Wayne, released on Christmas, 1942.

The most pathetic part about "A.I." is that the people using it don't even own their perceived slave, they're renting it

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

Oh hell yeah. It's @djcharlieblac.bsky.social time at Funktafest!

Bernie was always really good at this—pounding his messaging in speeches, and then pivoting to talking about strategy when appropriate. AOC has gotten a lot of mileage out of forthright strategy talk, particularly on social media.

"Here is our message" and "here is our strategy" are not the same thing, and when you try to contort the latter into the former—"here is our message about what our strategy is"—you wind up insulting anyone who is even halfway paying attention.

And this connects up to something I've been thinking about Jeffries' comments last weekend. If there's anywhere on the planet where you're NOT going to find a persuadable swing voter, it's watching the Sunday morning politics talk shows. That's a place where you talk to your people and the media.

Writing teacher advice for Democratic strategists: Your audience is NEVER everyone, and acting as though it is will lead to generalities that appeal on average but not in specific. You find your audience through specificities. Relying heavily on polls and consultants leads to tepid messaging.

Victory is mine! 🏆

Made a near perfect batch of old fashioned fudge this weekend, during peak summertime.

Ain't no one who can tell me shit this week.

I got the power of 1,000 meemaws coursing thru me.

And part of the reason it's so hard to grasp is that so many of the prominent people who have figured it out aren't willing to say it out loud in public.

Anyway I'm pretty good at drawing stuff. I can prove it. If you need some stuff drawn or know someone who does and there's money involved do please let me know.

Excited to see this collection on the gallery walls of Bloomfield Richwood in Richwood, WV and hear viewers reflections on human interaction with nature.
Digital catalog will be available June 12 here
