It’s funny how if I see “pro-Democracy” in a bio now, I can safely assume they’re not Republican.

Nice work Jim Watson, nice work.

A photo from yesterday’s Trunp Cabinet meeting. Taken from a low position the decorations on the wall behind the orange felon make him look like he has devil’s horns.

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

The Oregon national guard general says if the Oregon National guard were to be deployed they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters not ICE.

He is really talented, really good. This one is amazing:
"Her Name is America"
Artist notes:
her name is America...
she is, within herself, an abstract canvas...
a frustrating, complex display of emotions and scars...
she does not dream much anymore...
her primary objective is now survival.

Painting by Nikkolas Smith, a very talented artist. The image is a haunting abstract of a beautiful Black woman's face, her expression is distressed, worried. Overlaid is a large red star and red, white, and blue stripes in faded strokes, symbolising the flag of the United States.
The title of the painting is "Her Name is America".
The artist description says:
her name is America...
she is, within herself, an abstract canvas...
a frustrating, complex display of emotions and scars...
she does not dream much anymore...
her primary objective is now survival.

I just (belatedly) discovered artist Nikkolas Smith @4nikkolas.bsky.social

He created this amazing painting, Portland Frog.

His Instagram is here:

He's also here: nikkolas.art

How did he put so much sadness & disappointment in an inflatable frog's eyes? I relate.
