I guess I gotta find me a sparkly gown ...

I can sympathize! Fatherhood has meant I haven't touched my oil paints in 10 years or so. Still think about painting every day though.

headline is misleading. We're long past the point of determining what powers the constitution grants.

oh that's wild! Looking forward to seeing how they utilize him

how relieved are we supposed to feel that Kimmel is un-suspended? Still experiencing daytime palpitations and occasional cold sweats, but able to sleep at night? Better or worse?

it's worth reading the article - the original painting was actually painted over with a new face. The restoration wasn't just a cleaning, it was uncovering the original portrait. Pretty fascinating story

That's my first thought, but I've never called, or heard the guy called, an "influencer". Just makes me think of pundits and podcasters more than government officials so I wondered if we're talking someone else

as daft as this whole America-first project has always been, if it had any chance of success, that detainment and abuse of South Koreans probably killed it. Evil makes you stupid

Who are we thinking of?

YouTube video by Associated Press LIVE: Trump announces Space Command is moving from Colorado to Alabama

no - we're still waiting for anything to happen. I have YT up to the AP feed here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8Dn...

bummed that my state didn't participate in this. But NH is growing increasingly conservative as the 'Free State' movement sends more activists in to take over local government

🤣

I love printmaking's output. And according to the panel of professors at my sophomore year review, I should've majored in it. Unfortunately, I never could love any of the processes. But still, your advice is good. Everyone should at least try their hand at some printmaking

small in terms of number of decision-makers

but massive regarding enforcement and control over states, communities, and individuals

uh, no. The failing of Democratic leadership is to believe too much in norms and traditions. This talk of not voting or getting involved is utter bullshit. We still need to take every opportunity to work against the GOP

it's so much worse than that. They're complicit in likely sinking America into a generation of fascism. Political parties become meaningless at this point.

it's so hard to watch a significant portion of the country go off the deep end. Truth means nothing to them

Harris/Walz should never have pivoted away from "these guys are weird" to "these guys are a threat to democracy"

the former was effective politics (low-brow but classy compared to Trump) and the latter just doesn't hit with Americans

and seriously - what a f'ing weirdo!

A sliced loaf of chocolate chip banana bread

Made my first chocolate chip banana bread tonight. Doesn't really deserve to be called "bread." It's a dense cake. Will definitely make again, but probably with a little less chocolate chips

following AI advances is equally fascinating and frightening. This particular branch of AI seems as promising and yet as fraught as any other I can think of.

in the 2016 primaries, it briefly appeared that Newt Gingrich would sail to winning the nomination of GOP candidate for president. Then he went and talked about his aspirations for a moon colony, and he was laughed at, right out of contention.

maybe not a perfect team fit for my boy - there were a handful of losses I'm confident we would have won by putting the ball more in his hands or putting him on certain defensive assignments. A small player, but a remarkably good defender of faster guards. Still, we had fun with what we got

Spring Season basketball highlights of my boy, with his travel team New England Storm under coach Spencer - a pretty good season overall www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZyv...

ink drawing of a dragon perched on a small boulder with distant faint mountains

Trying to improve pen drawing - I've always felt more comfortable with paint and charcoal. But I'm starting to find some mark making that's fairly satisfying. Maybe still need to darken some shadows ...

if the courts remain sane and the country collectively agrees that lawless kidnapping has to stop, what the hell are we going to have 10,000 new ICE agents actually do?
Can we redirect all that funding to positive actions on immigration somehow?

while we were told explicitly that Tyler Durden was just an alternate personality, the movie (not sure of the book, which I didn't read) also drops a lot of clues that Marla is yet another. This is the narrator by himself

are there concerns for the safety and anonymity of victims should all these files be released?

the whole interview is so uncomfortable to watch. Mehdi does great for what it is, but these are frightening individuals.

we definitely have some bishops shilling for Trump, sadly.

just re-read this last week. Such a gorgeous, melancholic, poetic story!
