All art is inherently political. John Tesh made a strong statement to flat earthers with "Round ball rock"

I just realized that I was taught in an environment closer to "art has to have a political message."
Lotta “art shouldn’t be political” takes going around (including from faculty at my art program) and I just have to say: wow fuck that

Bane was invented to destroy Batman, but instead became my best friend.
Can you think of examples where people use technologies differently from what the developers intended, whether unintentionally or as an act of resistance?

Nope.
I still think the internet is the best comp for AI. It was a bubble that popped, but the underlying tech turned out to be real. It enabled a bunch of psychosis and slop, but also some genuinely cool stuff. Massive labor market disruptions, but employment levels look about the same.

Like how Jack McCoy was written as a cad for half a season.
got back to early L&O and forgot that in Lennie’s first episode they were like “what if this guy’s a little racist”

A few days too late for Burt Reynolds’ birthday but I was looking at the Dom DeLuise cookbook Eat This…It’ll Make You Feel Better! and found the recipe for Burt’s beef stew.

FYI the real trouble you can get in is if you don't *file* your taxes. If you file but don't/can't pay, they can basically just charge you interest, at a rate that is lower than most credit cards.
Everyone should not pay their taxes and when they get audited just shriek ‘BUT the Dow… but the Dow is over 50,000’ over and over

For those of you posting this Free Speech Guy meme,
you’re on Bluesky shouting into the void.
If you want to be free speech guy, put on some pants and go to your local city council meeting.

I'm trying to think about which Star Trek characters haven't been brought back in the streaming era in some way and the major ones are O'Brien, Bashir, and B'ellana Torres, right?

You know, if you don't think stormtroopers are like Border Patrol (and vice versa), what exactly do you think is happening in this scene?

Someone on my mailing list took umbrage at my Ewok drawing because they're friends with people who work for Border Patrol, and can assure me that they are not fascists. Then they closed with "I like your non-political art though" which has now radicalized me into believing all my art is political.
