watching the Mamdani campaign from afar during the primary, so many things were impressive, among them the incredible work his online video team was doing to spread the message in fun, creative, educational, invigorating ways that spoke to people

this is my story about how they did it

For 50 years the right has been telling us that the appropriate response to this is to open fire on these goons. They say we need assault weapons as a bulwark against a tyrannical government snatching people off the streets.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

The Baileys aren't Chuck Schumer's excuse for inaction

They're psychic entities in the astral plane, thoughtforms of pure malevolence that only Chuck can see. They have haunted him his entire life

When he says "What am I supposed to tell the Baileys?," he is afraid.

Their True Name is unutterable
reading about Young Chuck is fascinating

I'm not going to amplify the fucking things, but these anti-Mamdani slop ads Cuomo is putting out there use his likeness and put words in his mouth. If it's not actionable, it should be. It's not illegal it seems, but it should be so illegal. It should be *the most* illegal.

When you need something to mindlessly draw, I highly recommend teeth. No straight lines, beautiful organic shapes - just perfect for sketching. Practicing an old engraving style with a Kaweco Sport #fountainpen (1.1 mm nib) with Platinum Carbon Black ink
