Can I let you in on a little secret?
Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.
It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

Trump calls human beings “vermin,” “garbage,” “diseases,” “poison,” and “animals.”
Then, when I rightfully point out that the same dehumanizing language has been used by fascist regimes to justify humanity’s worst atrocities—Republicans lose their minds.

Two for #TwosDay. A couple makes this sunset scene on Mashpee Beach look cozy in spite of the chill in the air. On the horizon are two ferries making the run between Martha's Vineyard and Woods Hole on #capecod. Two pairs of twos - going "two and fro"! #eastcoastkin #sunset #photography

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

This is brilliant.
If you are considering a health product and you see an ad with a testimonial, pause for a beat.
Ask yourself why the company is using emotion to manipulate you into buying their product.
Look for data, not testimonials, and failing that, ask your healthcare professional.

In addition to his iconic design work for Polaroid, my father wrote and illustrated "a baker's dozen" of books, built toys, started a magazine about artisans on Cape Cod... AND loved to do silkscreen prints. On this day, he would have been 97, so it's fitting to post his "Cape Cod Autumn". RIP PG
