in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

DHS default is to lie about every encounter. Which is why they’re trying to criminalize recording them.

CHICAGO (WGN) - A WGN creative services department employee was detained by two
Border Patrol officers and later released after federal agents swarmed a busy intersection on Chicago's North Side Friday morning, at the height of rush hour.
WGN is not naming the employee, as station policy requires blurring faces and not identifying those who have not been charged with a crime.
Witnesses on site who captured the incident on video spoke to WGN about the moments leading up to the staffer's detainment.

Thomas added that when he made his way down to the scene, around 8:30 Friday morning, he realized there was another person already detained inside the minivan being used by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
"I didn't get his name, although I asked for his name," Thomas said. "He didn't speak very good English. They claimed that the WGN employee was obstructing justice, even though she was, like all of us, just standing there, taking video.'

I know he likes the No Drama thing, but I would like Barack Obama to do a series of videos with his Nobel Peace Prize prominently displayed on his desk.

And maybe one of him just holding the medal while staring straight into the camera.

You. Do. Not. Try. To. Prove. Your. Hypothesis.

That is completely backwards.

The proper way to do science is to form a hypothesis, and then do everything you can to try and tear that hypothesis apart.

Any other way is scientifically unsound at the least, and malpractice or outright lies at worst

Here is a haunted train digital collage I did a few years ago, for the haunting season. Not AI.

A lit train traverses a misted green landscape into over starry night and a giant moth, lost keys falling through the dreamscape.

Credit where credit is due. The Democrats' message that the GOP shut down the government because they want to throw millions of people off healthcare has broken through. Two of my cousins who are NOT AT ALL tuned into national politics told me that this is why the government is shut down.

The people that were laid off included:

The woman who did all the purchase orders.

The HR rep for the entire department.

So now no one who is left will know how to do anything or who to ask about it.

My layoff date was yesterday. I spent the last 15 minutes of my day writing an away message with links so people at least knew where to start with things they usually asked me to do.

Turns out they just eliminated all the layoffs from the email system. No away messages. No clue we existed.
