I hope Dr. Alter is staying lawyered up. I don’t see how Texas State isn’t going to end up paying up big to this professor for infringing on their right to free speech and likely breaking a ton of internal policies.

I just learned, Thomas Alter, tenured professor, has been terminated effective immediately. Shame on Texas State! We mst build support for Tom. spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/south-tex...

Texas State upholds the firing of associate history professor Thomas Alter

Alter’s termination occurred on Sept. 10, stemming from his remarks at the Revolutionary Socialism Conference on Sept. 7.

Why did Trump go up Walter Reed when he could just see Dr Oz?

And why didn’t he take the influenza and Covid vaccines despite RFK jr being against vaccines?

Because he wants to use science but wants the rest of us to listen to his crackpot staff

Happy #PortfolioDay!! 👋🐱🦊
We're Meerkat and (Maned) Wolf, and we make beaded sculptures big and small of our favorite fantasy characters and animals!

Our ko-fi shop is open and we'll be adding new sculptures soon... ko-fi.com/meerwolfrend...
For all other social links: meerwolfrenders.carrd.co

A sculpture of an eastern phoebe bird with a smaller dragonfly sculpture in front of it (it can be put in its mouth). Made mostly out of brown and white beads for the bird, all held together by wires. The bird's feet are epoxied to a natural wood stick.

A sculpture of SkekTek, the Scientist inspired by The Dark Crystal. Made mostly out of beige and grey beads with hints of many other colors, all held together by wires. Posed facing the viewer holding a staff made mostly out of black beads.

A small sculpture of a toy manchester terrier, inspired by my dog, Tanner. Made mostly out of black and orange beads, all held together by wires.

A sculpture of Oki (in wolf form) inspired by Okami. Made mostly out of purple and pinkish/reddish beads, all held together by wires. Posed in a battle-ready crouching position with his sword Kutone on his back (but you can only see the hilt from this angle).

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

A commissioned chakra pendant I finished recently.
Olive wood, set with rainbow moonstone, amethyst, turquoise, rose quartz, citrine, amber and ruby.

A long upright rectangle of wood, inset with seven semi precious stones, all 5mm round, in a line. The wood is a pale yellow brown, with darker swirling grain patterns. Resting on the fingers of a hand, with a grey skate background.

I still need to play Arco, but I've played a good bit of that Enigma of Fear and it's damn good. Very neat bundle, and I rarely recommend bundles.

China is doing an absolutely FANTASTIC job of baiting that asshole into economic Hari-Kari.

Every time they do something that hurts our economy, TACO reacts by doing something that actually hurts us TEN TIMES more.

It’s crazy!
