a digital poster made of colorful, mis-matched cut-out paper letters. the message says "Gen AI makes you look goofy as hell". digital text below says "do it yourself, pay an artist, steal judiciously." at the very bottom, in red text, it says "have a little self-respect."

We've still got Teruyo Nogami, Kurosawa's assistant-turned-documentarian, and who is 98.

We've got Kyลko Kagawa at 93, youngster Akira Terao at 78.

But for *STARS* - actors who led those hard-hitting dramas and trend-setting genre films of the golden age - this is it. This is the end. RIP Nakadai.

Friendly reminder that politics is NOT a spectator sport that you partake in once every 2-6 years and then deliver color commentary every other day.

The capitalist elite know this and the elected officials LIVE this, so issues like the ACA tax credits are something you have to care about well beyond any election cycle and across ALL levels of government that represent YOU.

Sincerely, a concerned social democrat stuck inside a deep red state.

โ€œThe arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heavenโ€™s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.โ€
-Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients donโ€™t need to โ€œjust go get a jobโ€.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.
